Joshua Tree Airbnb in November: Fire Pit at 4:45, Hot Tub After Dark - Video

When the clocks fall back, the sun sets in Joshua Tree before 5pm. Most travelers take shorter days as a reason to stay home. At The Desert Willow, it's the reason November is one of the best months of the year for a couples getaway.

Here's what a November evening looks like at the house:
- 4:45pm: blankets at the propane fire pit while the sun drops behind the mountains
- Blue hour: the desert goes quiet, and with no immediate neighbors it stays that way
- After dark: the 6-person hot tub, with heating always included, under a sky full of stars
- Later: the stargazing beds, or a movie on the outdoor screen

Why couples come to Joshua Tree in fall and winter: mild days for a morning hike, cool nights made for the fire, and quieter weekends than the spring peak. Hike Joshua Tree National Park in the morning, 15–18 minutes from the West Entrance, and be back at the fire before sunset.

Driving from Los Angeles? It's about two hours, so you can leave after lunch on Friday and still make the 4:45 fire.
