THE RANCH
Deeply rooted in nature, this one-of-a-kind property is the ideal setting to restore, savor moments of serenity, and activate your spirit by the energy of the surroundings.
THE OWNER
I’m an actress, kundalini yoga teacher, and one of the founders of the Energy in Motion community and podcast.
When I first visited Joshua Tree many years ago, my soul was instantly drawn to the magic, peace, and wonder of the high desert. MA SA YA is where I go to decompress, to breathe deeper, find inspiration, and reconnect with the earth–and myself.
When I began this journey, I wanted to create a thoughtful sanctuary for people to experience the desert tranquility I love so much. I hope you do, too.
I look forward to welcoming you.
With heart,
Ana Ayora

emILY SCHULDER
HI FRIENDS! I’M EMILY, A LOS ANGELES WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, NATIONAL PARK LOVER, WIFE TO MY BEST FRIEND, AND 100% UNHEALTHY-OBSESSED WITH MY MINI GOLDENDOODLE EZRA. WHEN I’M NOT OUT PHOTOGRAPHING SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOULS ON THE PLANET, YOU CAN USUALLY FIND ME WATCHING NEW GIRL; DANCING IN THE KITCHEN WITH MY HUSBAND, JEFF, WHILE COOKING DINNER; OR CREATING A SPACE FOR COMMUNITY TO DWELL IN OUR HOME. JEFF AND I LOVE BEING OUTDOORS BUT ALSO SNUGGLING UP ON THE COUCH BY THE FIREPLACE. I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW HOME DECOR, THE NEXT DOG TO PET, ANYTHING RUST-COLORED, OR AN EXCUSE TO TAKE AN AFTER-BREAKFAST NAP (I PROMISE IT’S A THING).
BEING A PART OF THE MA SA YA TEAM HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST BLESSING. ANA IS A TREASURE OF A HUMAN AND GETTING TO DREAM UP BEAUTIFUL THINGS FOR THIS SPACE ALONGSIDE HER IS A GIFT. I AM SO HONORED TO BE HERE.
“I’m not even sure where, to begin with, this review! It was by far the most beautiful place we have ever stayed, the design was incredible, you could sense how much love had gone into creating the space. We made incredible memories and felt so relaxed, we actually changed our plans to spend more time in the house! The cowboy hot tub and projector were also awesome add ons!”
