Welcome to High Desert Protocol, a serene 6-acre sanctuary nestled within the stunning Joshua Tree landscape. At the heart of this desert oasis lies an impressive 80-foot swimming pool and jacuzzi, seamlessly blending into the untouched surroundings. With the property adjacent to expansive public land, guests can enjoy unobstructed views that stretch for miles.
This private and expansive compound is ideal for intimate gatherings, retreats, dinner parties, or simply a peaceful escape for those who seek style, seclusion, and an unparalleled desert experience.
The property features two guest rental houses and a charming vintage Spartan Trailer, all available for booking via Airbnb or our website. Guests are invited to indulge in all the amenities the compound offers, including a spacious outdoor kitchen with a 20-foot concrete dining table, an outdoor bathroom, an art gallery, a hot tub, the swimming pool, and, of course, the breathtaking desert vistas.
For those seeking unique accommodations, we offer two RV hookups and options to rent an on-site Airstream, a Teardrop trailer, a converted shipping container, a van, or even a sailboat with a stunning wooden interior.
Additionally, guests have immediate access to hundreds of miles of trails, allowing them to explore the natural beauty of Joshua Tree right from the property—no need to drive anywhere!
I loved camping by the pool and waking up next to the mountains, also the jacuzzi with the sunset was stunning.

We loved this spot! Amazing what Toa did to his property. We enjoyed having access to a kitchen and a hot tube while we car camped. It elevated our usual camping experiences. Nice and relaxing place to stargaze and let your worries disappear. We will definitely be back again!

Very eclectic place to stay. Think of Tao’s place as an ever evolving experience. We recommend getting there in the daytime due to the many places you can stay and orienting yourself to layout. Pool has a hot-tub on one end and the length is ambient temp “ie” a cold plunge if you are there in January.
One note. If you are going east the turn is onto a small dirt road to the right. If you are coming west, you cannot turn across the highway due to a median blocking. You will have to drive past the road and make a U-turn, then backtrack to make the right turn.

Private canyon with hot tub
This is an amazing spot. A very private canyon close to joshua but very easy to find. The trailer was confortable to stay in and thoughtfully decorated. Our favorite part was the hot tub under the stars. Very cool! Will def be back.

Beautiful spot — we arrived at night and it was such a treat to wake up and take in the desert scenery for the first time. Tao’s set up was creative and inspiring, and the hot tub was lovely. As birders, we had fun spotting lots of winged friends.
