About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Las Alas del Sol- A Desert Architectural Gem

Las Alas means "wing" and it was named after the shape of the unique roof, which was created in the shape of a butterfly. This property started off as an original homestead and has been lovingly designed over the last 10 years to the home you see now. We think it is the perfect place for a relaxing desert adventure, quality time with family or an intimate get together with friends.

We welcome you to stay with us at Las Alas and look forward to hosting your next trip!

This is the mid-century desert oasis you have been looking for. Our beautiful home is located minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance giving you all of the comforts of home while being surrounded by boulders in the incredible Joshua Tree hills.

The open concept of Las Alas allows for beautiful views in every direction and a ton of natural light to pour through the entire home. Las Alas has 2 bedrooms, each with attached bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, dining area and living room with large glass sliding doors to help invite the outside, inside. All the furniture has been picked with great care - most of the items are Danish mid-century modern and are minimal in effect to keep the home inviting and comfortable.

Comfortable clean and quiet

We loved our stay in this slightly out of the way property. We enjoyed the solitude after battling the park crowds. The home was clean, gorgeous, spacious and comfortable. We loved the amazing sunlight and views this unique home offered and has zero complaints. Also- We had no problems getting here on the dirt roads.

Exceeded sky-high expectations

As a fellow architect with an eye for good design, I could not have been more impressed with what we discovered upon arrival and throughout our stay. My wife and I, along with our 2 1/2 years old son thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone visiting Joshua Tree. The home is beautifully designed, very well kept, and furnished perfectly. From the carpets to the record collection (loved the original George Carlin live albums), everything helped make ours one of the most comfortable vacations we've had since our son was born. i would recommend the home to anyone looking for a perfect desert retreat or as a case study in perfect solar orientation. They even had a copy of the architectural plans for the home (huge bonus points for architecture nerds).

Wonderful Stay

We were drawn to this property because of the architecture, decor, and the setting. It did not disappoint. It completely lived up to our expectations and we enjoyed it thoroughly. We rated cleanliness 4 stars rather than 5 because there was a slimy pool of liquid in one of the refrigerator drawers that we set our groceries in before we realized it (had to pull them out, clean them and that part of the fridge). Other than that, the house was impeccable. The only other shortcoming was that we never found any wine glasses. If there were some, they were well hidden. We somehow managed to consume our wine without them, but it would be a nice touch we would advise to be added. We were also quite happy with the access to the Park. It is a nice balance between privacy and convenience. Again, a great stay we recommend highly.

Private and relaxing

This space is so much better than a hotel room. Sitting on the patio watching the sunrise in the morning or going down in the evening is peaceful and quiet. Private, and somewhat remote but only 5 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park. There are some houses nearby, but you never know it because the patio faces the desert valley floor with views of the mountains in the distance. I travel extensively for business and wanted something different from the typical hotel room experience, this location met my needs for comfort and quiet.

Light-filled, lovely home

We had a really wonderful week in this house. We loved all the windows, which fill the house with light, and there are beautiful views in every direction. Because I have some back issues, I particularly appreciated that the beds and chairs are comfortable. The kitchen was very nice too. We had to contact the property manager regarding a few small issues, and she was terrific about helping us.

A really beautiful home

I almost hesitate to leave a review for fear that this gem will be harder to book again in the future. The home is truly delightful. The architecture is spectacular. The view is great. The home is comfortable, quiet and spotlessly clean. It is very well maintained. The driving and check-in directions were easy to follow and hassle-free. The listing was accurate and helpful. We had a fabulous stay and would not hesitate to book again. Thanks for sharing this beautiful home.
