The eponymous Geodesic Dome is of course the star and the most unique feature of the property, but it also features a stylish main house that’s straight out of a contemporary design magazine. The moment you walk in, you’ll feel at home thanks to the subtle sophistication of minimalist modern flair. Tasteful pops of earth tone hues, luxury finishes and materials, geometric patterns and natural fibers add texture and personality throughout. Panoramic windows and dual skylights provide plenty of natural light into the open concept floor plan which includes plenty of places to gather inside or out without ever feeling separated.
OUTDOORS:
The private outdoor oasis consists of a Pergola with misters for hot afternoons and Edison lights for cool desert nights. Take in some rays on the chaise lounge chairs & hammock, enjoy a sunset dinner and gather around the sunken fire pit to share stories and laughs. Then take it to the polyhedron dome to recenter and recharge! It's perfect at any time of day or night for a quiet conversation or meditation thanks to the included climate control. Comfy poufs and pillows allow you to easily configure the lounge space how you want for an energizing yoga session or a peaceful meditation.
Don't forget to fire up the hot tub with two motors, massaging lounge chair, foot massage jets, and waterfall to relax your tired muscles after a vigorous hike up Ryan Mountain or through Lost Palms Oasis in the National Park (5 minutes away!). Then curl up in the dreamcatcher chair.
SLEEPING:
The bedrooms feature luxurious linens, memory foam mattresses, dramatic accent walls and art inspired by the surrounding area. All bedrooms are located on the West wing of the home down the hallway with the enclosed glass Cactus Museum, allowing for the early sleepers to rest while the rest of the group convenes in the common areas.
Primary Bedroom — California King size bed with Apple TV and en-suite bathroom.
Middle Bedroom — Queen size bed.
Back Bedroom — Queen size bed with Apple TV.
Music Room — Pull-out sofa (Full size).
ENTERTAINMENT:
Sing along to the Best Songs Ever with the keyboard and guitar in the Music Room or take a closer look at the beauty of Cassiopeia through the telescope. Call stripes at the Billiard Table in the Arcade Room and have a showdown to 8 ball corner pocket or kick it old school on the vintage arcade with multiple game options including Ms. Pacman, Frogger, and more! Nothing’s too Taboo (the game, that is) in Joshua Tree. Turn the LED disco ball on while streaming your favorite music video from the Apple TV above the electric wall-mounted fireplace for a groovy ambience. With a bar table and lounge seating, there's room for everyone in the gang!

The place is gorgeous and clean! The house is spacious and has a beautiful back yard. The rooms are spacious and the linen is very nice and clean.
The geodome is very nice but the walls are a little worn (that desert sun is very rough) the wall also has some holes, but the A/C kept it nice and cool during the evenings and early morning. During the mid-day the A/C works very hard to keep the geodome cool in the middle of summer.
The biggest downside is that the game room has no working A/C which made it unusable during out stay in the summer and having a couple of kids not being able to enjoy the arcade there was a little disapointing. We ended up keepting that area close so that the rest of the house wouldn't warm up.
The hot tub is spacious and very nice as well as the grill as the evening was cool enough to enjoy both of them.
Would definitely come back, just not in the middle of summer so we can enjoy that game room.

We all loved your home. We loved the beds and a few wanted know the brand and style if you have it. Also where you bought the living room couch? Very comfy. Things to consider-more kitchen towels, large bowl for salads, plastic ware for outside. Lastly, the greenery in the home adds a nice touch but desperately needs to be dusted. Two guests who shared the room with the ficus tree were coughing and sneezing all night till we removed the tree.
Overall , I'd recommend this lovely home .
5.0
House was great and located close to the park entrance. Fire pit, hot tub, game room all got a lot of use from our family. Only critique would be how long it takes for hot water to run in the showers. Also, the on suite shower door does not have a proper seal so water leaks out onto the floor.
4.0
Loved the location. Felt the dome was mis represented as you cannot see any stars from within, was cold & not really a place any of us wanted to hang out. The kitchen was stocked well. Hot tub over chlorinated but nice jets. I really missed lotion in the bathrooms. Loved the fire pit & pool table - bonus disco ball!!
5.0
From making the reservation to the easy check-out, my Dome on the Range experience was wonderful. The host was always available for questions, responded quickly and was very accommodating. The property met and exceeded all our expectations, the game room was a hit and we loved the hot tub, fire pit and dome. Lots of cozy blankets and pillows too!

We loved the property and amenities. Kids stayed busy with the pool table and arcade games. Property was clean, Just note you cannot see through the dome at night to see stars if you expected that, otherwise a cute space.

Immediately felt comfortable in this wonderful abode. We’ll placed for adventures in Joshua Tree and also exploring the Pioneertown and the Integretron. Had everything we needed and really enjoyed the perks of a dome, music room, hot tub and disco pool room.

The pictures don’t do this house justice. Everything is shown accurately but the experience is so much better. Between the game room, the dome, the fire pit, jacuzzi… it was the perfect house to spend a weekend getaway. The hosts checked in on us before, during and after the trip to ensure all was well. We’ll definitely be coming back!

My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay here with our dog. Very close to the national park, and other recreational activities. The backyard was very nice. The hot tub, dome, and barbecue area was very enjoyable. Would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Joshua Tree!
5.0
Sweet spot. Cozy as well as spacious with the back deck and large, fenced in backyard. The DOME in the yard is a perfect setting for meditation, yoga, cozy hang to chat, read, or nap. The aesthetic of the home promotes calm and joy, and in many ways felt like the quintessential modern JT vacation house. We are already looking forward to returning for our next little family visit.

Property was very clean and welcoming! Game room was very entertaining for a weekend in.
