Dome in the Desert

A handcrafted geodesic dome on its own desert acreage, a few miles from the park gate.

Why we picked itThe design press keeps featuring it for a reason: a handmade dome under some of the darkest skies near LA.

The geodesic dome sits on several acres of high desert. Inside it's modern-bohemian, with handmade wood and stone pieces, antique books and a wood-burning stove for cold nights.

Guests come for the stargazing from the backyard. The dome has been featured in Condé Nast Traveler, Esquire and Goop, and it's only a few miles from Joshua Tree National Park.
