If we were to nitpick, this place doesn’t technically have a glass roof. But, the architecture is so innovative that you’ll struggle to tell wall from roof. The master bedrooms feature slanting windows free from blinds or curtains with views that cut through a thick patch of aspen forest toward the stars framing Wilson Peak. Pile into the outdoor hot tub to catch the moonrise while water babies can follow up with a bubble bath in the indoor Jacuzzi tub beneath the stars.

The Kellogg Doolittle House is a famous residence in Joshua Tree, California, celebrated for its organic architectural style. It was designed by Kendrick Bangs Kellogg, an architect who apprenticed under the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright. Construction of this Airbnb began in 1988 and stretched over 25 years. The house was a labor of love, with nearly every element handcrafted by Kellogg and his collaborator, John Vugrin. It blends seamlessly with the rugged desert landscape, resembling a natural rock formation more than a man-made structure. Windows puncture the roof, allowing natural light and the opportunity to look at the stars from the comfort of the spectacular home.
