Lovingly-restored barn house is a hidden gem in the desert

While a trip in the US might currently be characterised by countless nights spent in cookie cutter hotels and motels, if you know where to look you can find some of the most distinctive, interesting holiday accommodation in the world.

Today’s Airbnb property is the perfect example. This lovingly-restored barn house in Morongo Valley is a hidden gem on the western edge of the Mojave Desert and the perfect place to pop your head in on a road trip through California.

You get a true sense of desert serenity at this lovely property, sitting on the deck with a drink in hand as you listen to the sounds of nature and ponder the star-studded skyline.

And the location simply couldn’t be better. Once you’re here you’re only 20 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, Pioneer Town, Cabazon and Palm Springs.

Even if you’re not planning a trip to California any time soon, make sure you scroll through the gallery above. It’s incredible to see what they’ve achieved with the place.
