Desert Guide
The best Joshua Tree Airbnbs with a pool
The short answer: the two best Joshua Tree pool rentals in this guide are Boulder Horizons (sleeps 8, best for groups) and Infinite Horizon(sleeps 4, best for couples). Both are Airbnb Guest Favorites in Yucca Valley — Joshua Tree's sister city — each with a private heated pool, a hot tub, and 5 acres, about 20 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park. They're six minutes apart, so larger groups book both for up to 12 guests.
