-ACTIVITIES/ATTRACTIONS-
Visitors come to the High Desert for its unique landscape, culture, and recreational opportunities, as well as for the weather - hot and dry summers and mild winters at our high altitude. Joshua Tree and the communities surrounding the Joshua Tree National Park include Flamingo Heights, Pioneertown, Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, and Landers. You’ll be close to all the action at Desert Diamond. Some of our favorite options available to you:

–Joshua Tree National Park: 800,000 acres of mystical beauty - Joshua Tree National Park is one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures. Sweeping, grand in scale and populated by granite monoliths and voluptuous rock and boulder formations. This quiet land, conducive to meditation and roaming, was carved by extremes in climate - wind, rain and an ever-present, relentless sun. Diverse forms of plant life are found everywhere, but none as unique or prevalent as the park’s namesake: the Joshua tree, standing majestically across the vast topography.

–Pioneertown: Step back in time to thus rustic Old West-style village. Wander through the historic buildings, visit unique shops, catch a live music performance at Pappy & Harriets, and experience the Wild West charm.

• The Integratron: New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.

My gf & I had an amazing stay at this peaceful home in Joshua Tree. The house had everything we needed—well-stocked, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. It truly felt like a home away from home. The surroundings were so quiet and serene, perfect for unwinding. The owners were also really helpful and responsive, answering all my questions quickly and thoroughly. I would definitely love to come back! 10/10!!!

Very nice, clean, comfortable, quiet, well-stocked home! Everything felt new, fresh and well-maintained. It’s a great location for dark sky stargazing, Joshua Tree national park access and day trips to Palm Springs. And we really enjoyed watching the bunnies and birds in the yard.
- Review Date: 3/2/2025

We made a last minute reservation to visit Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley and Homestead Modern's home was fantastic. The location is great and the house had everything we needed. The kitchen had every utensil we needed and we enjoyed the outdoor features including the hot tub and outdoor shower. The owner was super responsive and very proactive in reaching out to us to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely come back again.

Truly a diamond in the desert! We had a really great time! The place was lovely. Check in was super easy and the instructions were very clear. The place was so private yet close to the town. It had everything we needed with complete kitchen amenities. We got to see Joshua Tree’s wild life right at home (road runners, coyotes and other birds). Really loved the host’s boarding pass - it had all the information we needed especially local recommendations! We really liked the weekend markets and the little shops they recommended. Again it was a lovely experience - we hope to visit again soon!
- Review Date: 1/13/2025

We're thrilled to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the privacy and convenience of the location. It’s wonderful that you got to experience the local wildlife, and we’re glad the boarding pass with local recommendations added to your stay. We would love to host you again :)

So glad we stayed in this chic, clean, charming house with desert views and total privacy. We had a fantastic time, using the hot tub which was sparkling clean, driving 10 minutes into town to eat at the fun restaurants like The Copper Room and Pappy and Harriet’s, gazing out the wall of windows at the beautiful surroundings. And we have never stayed at a better stocked rental. Everything we needed was at hand. This was exactly what we had hoped for. Highest recommendations.
- Review Date: 1/5/2025

We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the stunning desert views, total privacy, and the sparkling clean hot tub. It sounds like you made the most of your time. We’d love to host you again for another stay in the desert!

A terrific getaway from it all place - private and a really beautiful house. If you want to be in the "middle" between Joshua Tree and Palm Springs this is the place. The hosts are super great and run a terrific operation - and the house is really fully "kitted out" - you'll want for nothing!
- Review Date: 1/2/2025

This place was just incredible! The sunrise and sunsets alone were some of the best I've seen, but the my favorite part was watching the stars from the hot tub. Also, the inside of the house is beautiful, super clean, and thoughtful and the yard not only feels secluded but is also packed with amazing Joshua trees and plants! We would love to come back here :)
- Review Date: 12/20/2024

We’re so glad you enjoyed the stunning sunrises, sunsets, and stargazing from the hot tub. It’s great to hear that you found the home super clean and appreciated the beauty of the yard with its amazing Joshua trees. We’d love to host you again anytime!

A True Desert Paradise – Unforgettable Stay at Desert Diamond

We recently spent two magical weeks at Desert Diamond in Yucca Valley, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, the experience exceeded our expectations. The team at HomeStead Modern were absolutely incredible—so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. When we stopped by their office, they went out of their way to ensure our stay was seamless and memorable. The home itself is a dream. It’s even better than the pictures, which is saying a lot! The space is expansive, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully decorated with a perfect blend of modern design and cozy charm. Every little detail has been considered to make your stay comfortable, from the well-stocked kitchen to the plush bedding and thoughtful touches throughout. The grounds are breathtaking—it truly felt like we had our own private slice of paradise. Mornings were a delight, watching the sunrise as the desert animals stirred for the day, and the sunsets? Absolutely spectacular. Sitting around the fire pit, soaking in the stunning views, and feeling the magic of the desert was a highlight of our trip. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home (and more!), we cannot recommend Desert Diamond enough. It’s a place that stays with you long after you leave, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you, Desert Diamond and HomeStead Modern, for an unforgettable experience! 🌟

Excellent on every level! I have gone to Yucca Valley / Joshua Tree many times and have stayed in some really wonderful places, and this place is one of my absolute favorites. I am a big fan of the location just above Yucca Valley, making it easy to cruise down the hill to get things, and an easy trip in either direction to Pioneer Town or to Joshua Tree. I loved that it was not down a long dirt road, just a short jaunt, but it was so private, peaceful and gorgeous. I felt totally on my own, while not feeling remote. Waking up in the morning is GORGEOUS with all the glass doors and Joshua Trees. And I absolutely love the multitude of outdoor sitting areas! I truly wanted for nothing and hope to go back again. Thank you for an excellent Airbnb experience.
- Review Date: 11/4/2024

This was an absolutely beautiful, comfortable home with so many thoughtful and above and beyond touches. It was a great layout with slick decor and just the right amount of space for the two of us as we celebrated our anniversary in Joshua Tree. I was sold on the floor to ceiling windows and hot tub overlooking the desert landscape, and centrality to everything you would want to visit in the area, the record player with a cool selection of records, and the souvenir mug. I look forward to staying here again.

Thank you for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the thoughtful touches while celebrating your anniversary. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another memorable stay in Joshua Tree. Thank you for choosing us!

Loved my experience staying here. So beautifully and thoughtfully decorated - they really thought of everything someone might need or want during their stay. So comfortable, clean, beautiful, easy to find everything, fun, and excellently curated interior. The outdoor space is amazing as well and incredible scenery. I really felt pampered and that the experience was a great value. It also is worth mentioning the ease of accessing the house and helpful instructions were such a relief when I suddenly had to book last-minute. I would definitely recommend and hope to be back some day. I forgot to tip the cleaning staff because I didn’t have cash and apologize for that but everything else - wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you!

The Desert Diamond was the perfect stop on our road trip to check out Joshua Tree national park. It was so close to the downtown and the park! The place was beautiful and all of the extra touches (popcorn, coffee, seasonings, etc.) were all thoughtfully curated. We loved stargazing from the hot tub after a big day in the park! Would recommend this place to everyone.

Beautiful house and enjoyed how secluded the area was. The record player, popcorn maker, and huge selection of movies was such a nice touch. This host definitely pays attention to detail! Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful cute little home! In such a perfect location, it’s secluded yet there is still some civilization around. Such a cute house, loved the shower, bath, outdoor shower and jacuzzi. Absolutely everything that was needed they had. Loved the small little touches like a postcard. Host super responsive, the hot water didn’t work. They responded immediately and just informed me to let it run for a few minutes. I also left a few items at the house and they were very responsive. Would 100% come back to this house

A beautiful place to escape the city! The location is quiet and peaceful, you can't see or hear any neighbors.... just you and nature. The property was spotless and ready exactly at the check-in time. The amenities listed are accurate and are in working order. The fireplace outside is a nice touch to the property. I highly recommend staying here if you want a private escape from the city or just happen to be in the area exploring Joshua Tree National park.

Overall - fantastic stay in a great house. We had a relaxing time there. There were a few issues with check in, but the hosts were very accommodating to fix those issues (it was a one off situation so not worth going into detail). The house is so cozy and at night it gets so dark and while there are houses nearby you do feel quite isolated (which I know is what folks are looking for). Highly recommend. My only real gripe is that the cowboy tub wasn’t running and it was claimed to be a winter issue, but it was end of May.

We had a wonderful stay in Joshua Tree and the house was beautiful and clean. The private location allowed for peaceful days and evenings. We loved the floor to ceiling windows in the bedroom and living room. The hosts were responsive when we had questions. We would definitely come back and stay here again!

The house was amazing. We stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. Our kids had a blast exploring outside, playing ping pong, and enjoying the hot tub! The grill was great, and we enjoyed the outdoor space and fire pit! The bed was also very comfortable. Additionally, the coffee that they had was PHENOMENAL! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful, clean property. Well stocked and great amenities.
- Review Date: 1/9/2024

This was a perfect desert getaway; easy to get to, yet off the beaten track. We marveled at the raw beauty of the location, the abundance of wildlife (serenaded by coyotes at night) from the comfort of a surprisingly modern and cozy home. Also, our hearts swelled as we walked in to see a dog bed for our boy Axel already waiting for him by the fireplace. If you're reading this and wondering if this is the place you've been looking for (whether as a romantic getaway in the desert or just to get away for some quiet R&R) I'm happy to say it is!

So first off the instructions on checking in were easy to understand and i got in very easily. The place was sooo beautiful! the details all around the house were so cute and comfy the fire place was great! but I did have a problem with the ac/heater in the bedroom so i txted them about it and they answered all of my messages very quickly and helped fix the issue. Also they supplied a great amount of towels and extra blankets which was nice, and the house smelt good (which is important to me) it was just so cozy and all around nice i will definitely be staying here many more times! :) Thank you homestead.
- Review Date: 11/17/2023

This place is a gem in the desert. We mostly enjoyed sitting in the hot tub at night while stargazing and listening to the coyotes howl. The kitchen is well stocked for making your own meals, but just a short drive to Yucca Valley (maybe 5 minutes?) you can find plenty of restaurants. We took a day trip to Joshua Tree National Park and really had a great time taking in the beauty of the area (bring water!). We definitely could have spent more time relaxing here, and would definitely return in the future.

We had a great stay at this Homestead Modern property. The location was nothing short of amazing. The house was in perfect condition and the hosts were responsive when we reached out with some minor issues we had. I would highly recommend this property if you are visiting the Joshua tree area!
- Review Date: 6/9/2023

The place is absolute Heaven on earth… it was even better than the photos! Words cannot describe it… if you are looking for a romantic desert experience, look no further. My wife literally got teary-eyed when we arrived, it was so beautiful! I absolutely loved the bbq area, and the cowboy “plunge” pool. We spent every single night in the hot tub… and will be dreaming of the day we can come back until we actually do! The hosts were extremely responsive and answered all of our questions promptly. The property was easy to find, easy to access and honestly the entire experience could not have been smoother. Thank you for an amazing experience that we simply cannot wait to reprise!

This place was amazing and honestly better than we expected. The pictures are very accurate but does not truly the reflect the feeling and experience you have while being there. If we go back to this area it’s definitely where we’ll stay. The hosts were extremely responsive. Can’t go wrong with this place. I’m just bummed we didn’t stay longer to enjoy all of the amenities it has to offer.

Nice and modern in desert oasis
- Review Date: 4/24/2023

This place is unreal!Gorgeous from the inside and out with all the amenities you need for a private get away. We stsyed for 3 days and regretted not staying longer. Be warned, this is not an area for people who are scared of snakes, coyotes, and other critters. There is wildlife here and coyotes are seen daily. We were eating outside and they walked down the hill at the property across from us so if you have small dogs, do not go outside without a leash. We loved it! This place does not disappoint. Many restaurants nearby within a few mins driving distance and delivery options for grocery and alcohol if you don’t want to leave. JTNP is so close and definitely worth the visit. Lots of shopping as well near by. Nothing but good things to say. We will always remember Dessert Diamond with fond memories ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Ty

This was a great place for a low key weekend in the desert. The location was easy to get to, but felt very private. Everything was sparkling clean and well stocked. Communication before the trip was very easy and professional. I would absolutely stay here again.
- Review Date: 4/5/2023

The home was all that I thought it would be!! So many beautiful pictures and videos were taken of the beautiful grounds and the adorable cottontail bunnies running around. The home had so many beautiful and homey accents, loved the popcorn machine and the French press for great coffee!! Unforgettable trip!!
- Review Date: 4/3/2023

This place was great! Quiet and private but close enough to all attractions and food deliveries! We worked remote here for a week and very little issue with wifi or power outages.
- Review Date: 3/28/2023

We loved this place! Perfect comfortable place to hang out after hiking around Joshua Tree, or just hang out, very private and quiet. Stayed March 5-12 40's at night and 60's day--but strong California sun--only needed T shirt! Loved watching the sunset in the hottub listening to sounds of distant coyotes and scrub Jays. Bed too soft and small--did not match quality of the house --which is otherwise perfect otherwise. Photos online are deceiving and photographer visually blended the enormous BBQ outdoor lounge with the house itself --making it appear as one large and more elegant house.
- Review Date: 3/15/2023

We love that you loved the home and area! Desert Diamond is a jewel. We are so sorry that you felt the picture deceiving, this is the first we have ever heard of that. Thank you for the feedback and we are clear in the listing that there is an outdoor kitchen and is not a part of the house. Hopefully future guests will see your helpful review and not feel so deceived in the future!

One of the best AirBnB experiences we've ever had. Beautifully designed place, well furnished, fully stocked, and well thought-out. Zero hassles or confusion with the check-in/check-out process. Loved the fireplace and hot tub in particular, since we stayed on a cold February weekend. Also appreciated the close proximity to Joshua Tree. Highly recommend.

If you're looking for a serene getaway in Joshua Tree, look no further than this amazing Airbnb rental. The location is simply breathtaking, with beautiful surroundings and stunning interior. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible attention to detail that the hosts had put into the property. The rental was immaculately clean and well-stocked with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. One of the best parts of our stay was the incredible level of hospitality and support we received from the host. Not only were they incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our entire stay, but they went above and beyond to make our anniversary extra special. They even helped to arrange for flowers and other special touches that really made our trip unforgettable. We would highly recommend this Airbnb rental to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Joshua Tree. We can't wait to visit again!
- Review Date: 2/18/2023

Lovely place, much like the listing and reviews. I'd love to give this five stars, but it didn't quite live up to what we'd hoped. Little things, like broken blinds in the bedroom, an inoperable record player (actually, a fun deciding thing in choosing a place for us), a pictured guitar in the living room was nonexistent. There was no offer to make up for these things, or even a bottle of wine. Personal touches nonexistent. But... overall a beautiful home and thoughtful surroundings with the hot tub, bird feeders, outdoor barbecue (we didn't use, too cold out!), and probably great in the Spring/Fall. Easy to get to our fave restaurants -- La Copine & Pappy & Harriet's. We're big fans of Joshua Tree. Loved staying in a house. Worth a visit, for sure.

Great team; very hospitable, responsive and kind. We really enjoyed the stars and being outside at this property. Very convenient to access the park. Find Le Copine (restaurant) in Flamingo Heights ;)
- Review Date: 2/16/2023

We had a beautiful day in this home. It was very welcoming, well appointed, and it had everything we needed, it was super clean, which is super important to us. It wasn’t quite as remote as I was expecting, which was good for me! You felt alone and private, and nobody was called ‘close’ to you, but you were close enough to town. We had an excellent day and would love to come back here sometime. A little bit out of our budget but maybe it was worth it. Thank you Homestead Modern for a great experience.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for the weekend and everything was perfect! The place is amazing and perfect for a weekend getaway.

First off this place is so beautiful, very clean and easy to get to. It is accessible to local places but still far enough for the peaceful environment. We loved that the hot tub was hot and ready to go! I will advise for you to bring slippers and a robe! The floor is super cold! We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back! We also enjoyed the popcorn machine which was such a cute surprise! Highly recommend!

This bnb was a dream! Absolutely gorgeous, spotlessly cleaned with a wonderful and responsive host team… I honestly couldn’t get enough of this place! It was just what I needed. Prior to my check in date, I let the host know I would be arriving late at night and I was worried about the lonely drive up there from Palm Springs. They were receptive and guided me with the instructions on how to get there and reassured me that the road was perfectly safe and simple to navigate especially with the instructions they provided. It was a bit of a scary drive up but the instructions were useful and the gps was precise. I had no trouble finding the Airbnb (I almost drove by it as the road seems to go left and you might be tempted to follow, don’t, it’s just on the right). I’d love to see a King sized bed in the bedroom haha It’s such a beautiful spot, better than the pictures and the pictures are immaculate. It would be even more of a vibe in the summer 🤩

My wife and I stayed here and had a great time. Proximity to Joshua Tree National Park, Pioneertown, and main street Yucca Valley were perfect.

- Review Date: 12/11/2022

These accommodations are beautiful, thoughtful, super clean, and extremely well-appointed. I am very picky about AirBnBs, and Desert Diamond was one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. Looks just like the photos, every part of the home felt luxe, and the space encourages you to close your laptop and enjoy the surroundings. Management was terrifically helpful and responsive. Kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. All the trappings of a 5-star hotel but with the added benefit of total privacy and quietude. Had a very romantic and restful weekend here with my partner; we will 100% be back!

Desert Diamond is a beautifully designed home with lots of natural light and great views from pretty much every room. The location is quiet and provides easy access to all that the Joshua Tree area has to offer. The house is very well stocked with everything you need during your stay and the property has several fun amenities that just add to the overall charm. We absolutely loved watching all the birds come out for their morning feed. All of our communications with the host went smoothly and we are already planning our return visit.

Perfect weekend getaway for me, my husband, and small dog in October 2022. The house was super clean and provided all the basic kitchen supplies needed. We kept the glass sliding doors open during the day and enjoyed the outdoor breeze and the sound of birds flow through the house.
- Review Date: 10/19/2022

Incredibly detailed in their rules and check in. They even provide places to eat and go in their guide. The place was clean and they provide so much that you literally wouldn’t need to leave the place if you bought groceries for the weekend. They even provide you a dog bed and poop bags when you bring your dog. The Airbnb is close enough to drive to Joshua tree and other nearby restaurants.

My gf & I had an amazing stay at this peaceful home in Joshua Tree. The house had everything we needed—well-stocked, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. It truly felt like a home away from home. The surroundings were so quiet and serene, perfect for unwinding. The owners were also really helpful and responsive, answering all my questions quickly and thoroughly. I would definitely love to come back! 10/10!!!

Very nice, clean, comfortable, quiet, well-stocked home! Everything felt new, fresh and well-maintained. It’s a great location for dark sky stargazing, Joshua Tree national park access and day trips to Palm Springs. And we really enjoyed watching the bunnies and birds in the yard.

We made a last minute reservation to visit Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley and Homestead Modern's home was fantastic. The location is great and the house had everything we needed. The kitchen had every utensil we needed and we enjoyed the outdoor features including the hot tub and outdoor shower. The owner was super responsive and very proactive in reaching out to us to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely come back again.

Truly a diamond in the desert! We had a really great time! The place was lovely. Check in was super easy and the instructions were very clear. The place was so private yet close to the town. It had everything we needed with complete kitchen amenities. We got to see Joshua Tree’s wild life right at home (road runners, coyotes and other birds). Really loved the host’s boarding pass - it had all the information we needed especially local recommendations! We really liked the weekend markets and the little shops they recommended. Again it was a lovely experience - we hope to visit again soon!

Review Date: 1/13/2025

So glad we stayed in this chic, clean, charming house with desert views and total privacy. We had a fantastic time, using the hot tub which was sparkling clean, driving 10 minutes into town to eat at the fun restaurants like The Copper Room and Pappy and Harriet’s, gazing out the wall of windows at the beautiful surroundings. And we have never stayed at a better stocked rental. Everything we needed was at hand. This was exactly what we had hoped for. Highest recommendations.

Review Date: 1/5/2025

A terrific getaway from it all place - private and a really beautiful house. If you want to be in the "middle" between Joshua Tree and Palm Springs this is the place. The hosts are super great and run a terrific operation - and the house is really fully "kitted out" - you'll want for nothing!

Review Date: 1/2/2025

This place was just incredible! The sunrise and sunsets alone were some of the best I've seen, but the my favorite part was watching the stars from the hot tub. Also, the inside of the house is beautiful, super clean, and thoughtful and the yard not only feels secluded but is also packed with amazing Joshua trees and plants! We would love to come back here :)

Review Date: 12/20/2024

We recently spent two magical weeks at Desert Diamond in Yucca Valley, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, the experience exceeded our expectations. The team at HomeStead Modern were absolutely incredible—so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. When we stopped by their office, they went out of their way to ensure our stay was seamless and memorable. The home itself is a dream. It’s even better than the pictures, which is saying a lot! The space is expansive, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully decorated with a perfect blend of modern design and cozy charm. Every little detail has been considered to make your stay comfortable, from the well-stocked kitchen to the plush bedding and thoughtful touches throughout. The grounds are breathtaking—it truly felt like we had our own private slice of paradise. Mornings were a delight, watching the sunrise as the desert animals stirred for the day, and the sunsets? Absolutely spectacular. Sitting around the fire pit, soaking in the stunning views, and feeling the magic of the desert was a highlight of our trip. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home (and more!), we cannot recommend Desert Diamond enough. It’s a place that stays with you long after you leave, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you, Desert Diamond and HomeStead Modern, for an unforgettable experience! 🌟

Review Date: 11/11/2024

Excellent on every level! I have gone to Yucca Valley / Joshua Tree many times and have stayed in some really wonderful places, and this place is one of my absolute favorites. I am a big fan of the location just above Yucca Valley, making it easy to cruise down the hill to get things, and an easy trip in either direction to Pioneer Town or to Joshua Tree. I loved that it was not down a long dirt road, just a short jaunt, but it was so private, peaceful and gorgeous. I felt totally on my own, while not feeling remote. Waking up in the morning is GORGEOUS with all the glass doors and Joshua Trees. And I absolutely love the multitude of outdoor sitting areas! I truly wanted for nothing and hope to go back again. Thank you for an excellent Airbnb experience.

Review Date: 11/4/2024

This was an absolutely beautiful, comfortable home with so many thoughtful and above and beyond touches. It was a great layout with slick decor and just the right amount of space for the two of us as we celebrated our anniversary in Joshua Tree. I was sold on the floor to ceiling windows and hot tub overlooking the desert landscape, and centrality to everything you would want to visit in the area, the record player with a cool selection of records, and the souvenir mug. I look forward to staying here again.

Review Date: 10/17/2024

Loved my experience staying here. So beautifully and thoughtfully decorated - they really thought of everything someone might need or want during their stay. So comfortable, clean, beautiful, easy to find everything, fun, and excellently curated interior. The outdoor space is amazing as well and incredible scenery. I really felt pampered and that the experience was a great value. It also is worth mentioning the ease of accessing the house and helpful instructions were such a relief when I suddenly had to book last-minute. I would definitely recommend and hope to be back some day. I forgot to tip the cleaning staff because I didn’t have cash and apologize for that but everything else - wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you!

A beautiful place to escape the city! The location is quiet and peaceful, you can't see or hear any neighbors.... just you and nature. The property was spotless and ready exactly at the check-in time. The amenities listed are accurate and are in working order. The fireplace outside is a nice touch to the property. I highly recommend staying here if you want a private escape from the city or just happen to be in the area exploring Joshua Tree National park.

Overall - fantastic stay in a great house. We had a relaxing time there. There were a few issues with check in, but the hosts were very accommodating to fix those issues (it was a one off situation so not worth going into detail). The house is so cozy and at night it gets so dark and while there are houses nearby you do feel quite isolated (which I know is what folks are looking for). Highly recommend. My only real gripe is that the cowboy tub wasn’t running and it was claimed to be a winter issue, but it was end of May.

We had a wonderful stay in Joshua Tree and the house was beautiful and clean. The private location allowed for peaceful days and evenings. We loved the floor to ceiling windows in the bedroom and living room. The hosts were responsive when we had questions. We would definitely come back and stay here again!

The house was amazing. We stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. Our kids had a blast exploring outside, playing ping pong, and enjoying the hot tub! The grill was great, and we enjoyed the outdoor space and fire pit! The bed was also very comfortable. Additionally, the coffee that they had was PHENOMENAL! We will definitely be back!

Had a wonderful stay. I appreciated the amenities including the fireplace and well-appointed bathrooms. It felt secluded and relaxing. Would recommend to others and definitely would return.

This was a perfect short stay for my partner and I. The home is in a great location to get to Joshua Tree and the amenities and cozy features made it a perfect place to come back to to relax after a day of exploring the park

Really fun weekend getaway! Beautiful home, peaceful setting, well stocked amenities. We enjoyed the wildlife, natural light and quiet. Also, close enough to town if you need to grab anything. Would stay here again.

Review Date: 2/6/2024

This was a perfect desert getaway; easy to get to, yet off the beaten track. We marveled at the raw beauty of the location, the abundance of wildlife (serenaded by coyotes at night) from the comfort of a surprisingly modern and cozy home. Also, our hearts swelled as we walked in to see a dog bed for our boy Axel already waiting for him by the fireplace. If you're reading this and wondering if this is the place you've been looking for (whether as a romantic getaway in the desert or just to get away for some quiet R&R) I'm happy to say it is!

So first off the instructions on checking in were easy to understand and i got in very easily. The place was sooo beautiful! the details all around the house were so cute and comfy the fire place was great! but I did have a problem with the ac/heater in the bedroom so i txted them about it and they answered all of my messages very quickly and helped fix the issue. Also they supplied a great amount of towels and extra blankets which was nice, and the house smelt good (which is important to me) it was just so cozy and all around nice i will definitely be staying here many more times! :) Thank you homestead.

This place is a gem in the desert. We mostly enjoyed sitting in the hot tub at night while stargazing and listening to the coyotes howl. The kitchen is well stocked for making your own meals, but just a short drive to Yucca Valley (maybe 5 minutes?) you can find plenty of restaurants. We took a day trip to Joshua Tree National Park and really had a great time taking in the beauty of the area (bring water!). We definitely could have spent more time relaxing here, and would definitely return in the future.

Review Date: 10/29/2023

This place is amazing! So private and has all the best things within reach including a lovely fire place inside and fire pit outside perfect for evening hour into stargazing hour. Amazing animal sightings as well:) and The indoor bathtub is amazing as well, will be coming back for sure!!!

Review Date: 9/23/2023

Loved this place. Beautiful interior and furnishings. I didn’t want to leave but I’ll be back soon! We loved the record player and all the records they had. Kitchen has everything you need if you’re going to be cooking while staying there. It’s just sooooo chill. It was the perfect getaway. You won’t be disappointed

Review Date: 7/23/2023

This house was truly special. Nestled in a nice part of Joshua Tree, away from the city lights. The architecture is modern with lots of natural light and high ceilings. The pool and hot tub really make this place a nice relaxing getaway. Highly recommend staying here!

Review Date: 7/5/2023

Absolutely amazing stay. Loved every second. Would highly recommend. Stunning views, hot tub is perfect for star gazing on a night, loved seeing so much wildlife there too and the outdoor bbq area is a great addition. Home decorated amazing also, with everything you could ever need! Thank you for hosting us!

Review Date: 6/19/2023

We had a great stay at this Homestead Modern property. The location was nothing short of amazing. The house was in perfect condition and the hosts were responsive when we reached out with some minor issues we had. I would highly recommend this property if you are visiting the Joshua tree area!

Review Date: 6/9/2023

The place is absolute Heaven on earth… it was even better than the photos! Words cannot describe it… if you are looking for a romantic desert experience, look no further. My wife literally got teary-eyed when we arrived, it was so beautiful! I absolutely loved the bbq area, and the cowboy “plunge” pool. We spent every single night in the hot tub… and will be dreaming of the day we can come back until we actually do! The hosts were extremely responsive and answered all of our questions promptly. The property was easy to find, easy to access and honestly the entire experience could not have been smoother. Thank you for an amazing experience that we simply cannot wait to reprise!

Review Date: 5/29/2023

This place was amazing and honestly better than we expected. The pictures are very accurate but does not truly the reflect the feeling and experience you have while being there. If we go back to this area it’s definitely where we’ll stay. The hosts were extremely responsive. Can’t go wrong with this place. I’m just bummed we didn’t stay longer to enjoy all of the amenities it has to offer.

Review Date: 5/2/2023

This place is unreal!Gorgeous from the inside and out with all the amenities you need for a private get away. We stsyed for 3 days and regretted not staying longer. Be warned, this is not an area for people who are scared of snakes, coyotes, and other critters. There is wildlife here and coyotes are seen daily. We were eating outside and they walked down the hill at the property across from us so if you have small dogs, do not go outside without a leash. We loved it! This place does not disappoint. Many restaurants nearby within a few mins driving distance and delivery options for grocery and alcohol if you don’t want to leave. JTNP is so close and definitely worth the visit. Lots of shopping as well near by. Nothing but good things to say. We will always remember Dessert Diamond with fond memories ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Ty

This was a great place for a low key weekend in the desert. The location was easy to get to, but felt very private. Everything was sparkling clean and well stocked. Communication before the trip was very easy and professional. I would absolutely stay here again.

Review Date: 4/5/2023

The home was all that I thought it would be!! So many beautiful pictures and videos were taken of the beautiful grounds and the adorable cottontail bunnies running around. The home had so many beautiful and homey accents, loved the popcorn machine and the French press for great coffee!! Unforgettable trip!!

Review Date: 4/3/2023

This place was great! Quiet and private but close enough to all attractions and food deliveries! We worked remote here for a week and very little issue with wifi or power outages.

Review Date: 3/28/2023

We loved this place! Perfect comfortable place to hang out after hiking around Joshua Tree, or just hang out, very private and quiet. Stayed March 5-12 40's at night and 60's day--but strong California sun--only needed T shirt! Loved watching the sunset in the hottub listening to sounds of distant coyotes and scrub Jays. Bed too soft and small--did not match quality of the house --which is otherwise perfect otherwise. Photos online are deceiving and photographer visually blended the enormous BBQ outdoor lounge with the house itself --making it appear as one large and more elegant house.

One of the best AirBnB experiences we've ever had. Beautifully designed place, well furnished, fully stocked, and well thought-out. Zero hassles or confusion with the check-in/check-out process. Loved the fireplace and hot tub in particular, since we stayed on a cold February weekend. Also appreciated the close proximity to Joshua Tree. Highly recommend.

Review Date: 3/4/2023

We had a great time staying here! Everything was as described. Lovely stargazing from the hot tub. Kitchen well equipped for cooking. Loved the indoor fireplace. Hosts were responsive with our questions. Would definitely come back!

If you're looking for a serene getaway in Joshua Tree, look no further than this amazing Airbnb rental. The location is simply breathtaking, with beautiful surroundings and stunning interior. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible attention to detail that the hosts had put into the property. The rental was immaculately clean and well-stocked with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. One of the best parts of our stay was the incredible level of hospitality and support we received from the host. Not only were they incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our entire stay, but they went above and beyond to make our anniversary extra special. They even helped to arrange for flowers and other special touches that really made our trip unforgettable. We would highly recommend this Airbnb rental to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Joshua Tree. We can't wait to visit again!

Review Date: 2/18/2023

Lovely place, much like the listing and reviews. I'd love to give this five stars, but it didn't quite live up to what we'd hoped. Little things, like broken blinds in the bedroom, an inoperable record player (actually, a fun deciding thing in choosing a place for us), a pictured guitar in the living room was nonexistent. There was no offer to make up for these things, or even a bottle of wine. Personal touches nonexistent. But... overall a beautiful home and thoughtful surroundings with the hot tub, bird feeders, outdoor barbecue (we didn't use, too cold out!), and probably great in the Spring/Fall. Easy to get to our fave restaurants -- La Copine & Pappy & Harriet's. We're big fans of Joshua Tree. Loved staying in a house. Worth a visit, for sure.

Review Date: 2/16/2023

Great team; very hospitable, responsive and kind. We really enjoyed the stars and being outside at this property. Very convenient to access the park. Find Le Copine (restaurant) in Flamingo Heights ;)

Review Date: 2/16/2023

We had a beautiful day in this home. It was very welcoming, well appointed, and it had everything we needed, it was super clean, which is super important to us. It wasn’t quite as remote as I was expecting, which was good for me! You felt alone and private, and nobody was called ‘close’ to you, but you were close enough to town. We had an excellent day and would love to come back here sometime. A little bit out of our budget but maybe it was worth it. Thank you Homestead Modern for a great experience.

Review Date: 2/15/2023

My girlfriend and I stayed here for the weekend and everything was perfect! The place is amazing and perfect for a weekend getaway. The location is great and really private and the amenities and jacuzzi were amazing! The finishes and quality of the home were very high-end and exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be staying here again soon! The host was extremely responsive and answered any questions we had as well.

Review Date: 2/1/2023

The home is well equipped to make you immediately feel at home. It has everything you might need with no unnecessary clutter. The hosts have thought of everything to ensure the most comfortable stay. We look forward to returning again soon!

Review Date: 1/27/2023

First off this place is so beautiful, very clean and easy to get to. It is accessible to local places but still far enough for the peaceful environment. We loved that the hot tub was hot and ready to go! I will advise for you to bring slippers and a robe! The floor is super cold! We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back! We also enjoyed the popcorn machine which was such a cute surprise! Highly recommend!

Review Date: 1/11/2023

This was the perfect place for a couple get away! Everything is perfect about this house. Close to town and Joshua tree park. Hot tub was great even on a cold cloudy day. Definitely recommend to anybody looking for a romantic get away.

Review Date: 1/3/2023

This bnb was a dream! Absolutely gorgeous, spotlessly cleaned with a wonderful and responsive host team… I honestly couldn’t get enough of this place! It was just what I needed. Prior to my check in date, I let the host know I would be arriving late at night and I was worried about the lonely drive up there from Palm Springs. They were receptive and guided me with the instructions on how to get there and reassured me that the road was perfectly safe and simple to navigate especially with the instructions they provided. It was a bit of a scary drive up but the instructions were useful and the gps was precise. I had no trouble finding the Airbnb (I almost drove by it as the road seems to go left and you might be tempted to follow, don’t, it’s just on the right). I’d love to see a King sized bed in the bedroom haha It’s such a beautiful spot, better than the pictures and the pictures are immaculate. It would be even more of a vibe in the summer 🤩

My wife and I stayed here and had a great time. Proximity to Joshua Tree National Park, Pioneertown, and main street Yucca Valley were perfect. The house itself is perfectly designed with tons of stuff both inside and out. Once we checked in, we really didn't want to leave. We will definitely stay here again.

Review Date: 12/12/2022

Extremely pleased with our stay at this property. Newly constructed and very posh, high ceilings, beautiful kitchen, fireplace, jacuzzi, and great light and space around the house. Would definitely stay here again.

Review Date: 12/11/2022

These accommodations are beautiful, thoughtful, super clean, and extremely well-appointed. I am very picky about AirBnBs, and Desert Diamond was one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. Looks just like the photos, every part of the home felt luxe, and the space encourages you to close your laptop and enjoy the surroundings. Management was terrifically helpful and responsive. Kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. All the trappings of a 5-star hotel but with the added benefit of total privacy and quietude. Had a very romantic and restful weekend here with my partner; we will 100% be back!

Review Date: 11/28/2022

Beautifully curated home in Joshua Tree. Very modern feel ... we were trying to guess and we came up with Mid Century Modern Eclectic - LOL. The place is very comfortable and integrates beautifully with the nature surrounding it. Also the place is well stocked.

Review Date: 11/25/2022

Desert Diamond is a beautifully designed home with lots of natural light and great views from pretty much every room. The location is quiet and provides easy access to all that the Joshua Tree area has to offer. The house is very well stocked with everything you need during your stay and the property has several fun amenities that just add to the overall charm. We absolutely loved watching all the birds come out for their morning feed. All of our communications with the host went smoothly and we are already planning our return visit.

Review Date: 11/5/2022

Perfect weekend getaway for me, my husband, and small dog in October 2022. The house was super clean and provided all the basic kitchen supplies needed. We kept the glass sliding doors open during the day and enjoyed the outdoor breeze and the sound of birds flow through the house.

Review Date: 10/19/2022

Incredibly detailed in their rules and check in. They even provide places to eat and go in their guide. The place was clean and they provide so much that you literally wouldn’t need to leave the place if you bought groceries for the weekend. They even provide you a dog bed and poop bags when you bring your dog. The Airbnb is close enough to drive to Joshua tree and other nearby restaurants.

Review Date: 10/16/2022

Great getaway! Place was just as described and better in person. Birds and quails was a highlight of our stay in the morning when we had coffee. Would definitely recommend this place.

Review Date: 10/13/2022

There are many great places to stay in this area. This is one of them. Also, the managers of this property are stellar. Very responsive and supportive. One of my smoothest Airbnb experiences.
