Weekend Trip to Off Grid Desert Yurt Getaway
We had an incredible weekend staying at the yurt! It was the perfect romantic getaway with a cozy interior and all the accommodations and amenities we needed. The attention to detail really made for an unforgettable off-the-grid glamping experience. We’d love to come back and stay here next time we’re in Joshua Tree.
