The dog's invited too.

Stargaze is genuinely dog-friendly — the whole lot is fenced, so your dog can be off-leash in a safe, private yard while you take the pool, the fire pit or a slow morning coffee. Plenty of guests wouldn't travel without theirs, and we get it.

Why it works for dogs

• Fully fenced desert lot on every side — room to roam, safely contained.
• Quiet, rural setting with almost no through-traffic.
• Gravel paths and shade to pad around while you relax.

Desert notes for pet owners

• Watch the cacti. Spines find fur (and paws) easily — keep an eye on your dog around the garden, and bring tweezers just in case.
• Heat and ground temperature. Desert sun is intense; walk early or late, keep water out, and check the gravel before midday.
• Wildlife. This is open Mojave — coyotes, jackrabbits and the odd snake in the warm months. Keep your dog close at dawn and dusk, and don't leave food out.
• The park. Note that Joshua Tree National Park limits dogs on trails; plan park days accordingly and let your pup enjoy the yard instead.

A couple of asks

Bring your dog's own bed or blanket, clean up in the yard, and keep them off the furniture and out of the pool and hot tub. We're unable to host cats, due to a household allergy. If you're travelling with more than one dog or a very large breed, just let us know when you enquire so we can make sure it's a good fit.
