Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Recent Guests:

-”We really enjoyed this tranquil, private spot! Truly had everything - comfort, style, privacy, and proximity to the park.” -Zachary

-”Excellent Joshua Tree getaway peaceful and funky escape with tasteful decor and great amenities. Perfect location for exploring Joshua Tree or just chilling.” -Anne

-BEDS & BATHS-
The Desert Hideaway can comfortably accommodate up to four guests in two bedrooms, making it ideal for couples or friends. Both bedrooms, each located in their own private suite, include king-size beds and direct patio access.

The two bathrooms feature modern fixtures, including walk-in showers.

Need to do some laundry? Feel free to use the washer and dryer.

-KITCHEN & DINING-
In the larger suite, you’ll find a full kitchen with everything you need to whip up a desert-inspired meal. Appliances include an electric stove, oven, fridge, freezer (with ice maker!), microwave, and dishwasher.

When it’s time to eat, the larger suite includes a cozy dining area with a table for two and a seat at a small breakfast bar.

The smaller suite’s kitchenette has a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and microwave - just enough to prepare breakfast or an afternoon snack. We understand everyone has a unique coffee ritual, so the property comes equipped with a Keurig, a drip coffee maker, and a French press.

-LIVING SPACE-
The larger suite contains a lovely living area complete with two comfortable armchairs, a TV with a Roku, and exquisite views. Why not enjoy your morning coffee right here ♦

“This place was amazing. The location is perfect, extremely close to the park yet feels secluded. The landscaping and parcel of land is beautiful and gives you a little room to explore while at the house. There are two hot tubs which allows for variation (I found one was nice for the mornings and one was nice for the evenings).” -Recent Review

-OUTDOOR SPACE-
The larger suite offers a fabulous private patio with a propane barbecue and outdoor furniture — including a unique outdoor bed suspended on chains from overhead beams. It’s the perfect spot for a shaded afternoon nap!

From the smaller suite, you can step out through the sliding glass door to a separate private patio that features a hot tub and comfortable outdoor seating, including another “swing” bed.

The property is surrounded by a landscape of native vegetation, including numerous Joshua trees. Enjoy the magical vistas of the towering, rocky mountains rising up dramatically nearby in the park. Sit quietly outside and watch for desert birds — maybe a roadrunner will make an appearance!

-ESSENTIALS-
Parking is available for two vehicles in the driveway

The Desert Hideaway includes WiFi, heating, and air conditioning.

-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 The Desert Hideaway. 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.

** Cleaning Protocols ***
As the only professional management company in the area, we have always maintained exceptional cleaning standards. We pay above the living wage standards; 100% of your cleaning fee is paid to the cleaners (i.e. no profit to us) and we insist on a professional level of cleaning between guests. We love the High Desert for a lot of reasons - including the open spaces, lack of crowds, and dry weather that we believe make it a safe place to visit.

If you’re visiting Joshua Tree, stop looking at others and book this place! The desert hideaway is exactly how it looks in the pictures. It’s modern, clean, and well stocked with everything you’d want. Added bonus - the house separates into two units: both with separate bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen/kitchenette, so whether you’re a couple or two couples traveling together, this place is ideal. The patios in the pictures are great — and I didn’t appreciate until we arrived that there are two patios (one off each bedroom) both with swing beds, grills, and the like. You also can’t beat the location: turn right out of the driveway and after a quick few mile drive, you’re in the park! The place is also very private, yet easily accessible and convenient to the park and Joshua Tree restaurants (don’t miss Joshua Tree coffee, and give the Saloon a shot at night!). The hosts are very responsive and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Go book it now!!

Desert Hideaway Park Entrance was a great experience for by husband and I. The house was better in person than the photos showed. The surroundings are peaceful with great large windows to take in the beautiful view. I was able to do morning yoga each day and stargazing by night in the jacuzzi. The host was excellent with communicating and the place was well appointed with everything one could need and a few extra special touches such as the desert towels, toiletries and local books on the area. Joshua tree is just one mile away and it made it easy to go in the park to watch the sunset or be at the park for a long day and return to a wonderful retreat. Would definitely return!

We can't say enough about our stay over Memorial Day Weekend. The house was exactly as advertised. It was located at the perfect location in Joshua Tree literally five minutes from the main gate to get into the park and just up the road ten minutes from Sky High Pie, Joshua Tree Coffee Company and the JT Country Kitchen - all recommended as well. We're already looking at when we can go back to rent this same house again. The house was extremely clean, modern, the bed in the main master bedroom was really comfortable, the views were great and it was very private. You felt safe and not out in the middle of no where with neighbors near you but definitely not next to you - it was perfect for us. We didn't use much in the way of the kitchen but it was really well stocked with everything you may need. Thank you to all who take care of this property !!

Homestead Modern was a great destination for our vacation. It was comfortable, clean and had great amenities. We spent nights in the hot tub watching the sunset and lounged on the day bed during the day. Fantastic location close to the park. Very quick to respond to messages and helpful.

We really enjoyed this tranquil, private spot! Truly had everything - comfort, style, privacy, and proximity to the park. Everything was quite easy to use - dishwasher, ac/heating, hot tub, etc. The full kitchen has everything you need to cook just like you would at home. JT and the surrounding area has plenty of restaurants, but they can get quite crowded during the peak season. The separate thermostat in the bedroom is actually brilliant - you can quickly dial in your preferred night time temp in a small space. This is a great spot for a group because there are two units that can be completely separated. This will be my go to next time we visit JTNP!

Perfect for playing in the park but sleeping in a real nice place. Bring a personal sized electric heater in cold months.... the heaters are new and nice but it was still pretty cold in the evenings inside. Beautifully done property you'll love it.

Hello, thank you for the feedback. We try not to leave the mini splits on between guests to conserve energy and know you arrived late so it took a bit to hear but, but we hear you that sometimes it is just so cold. We have added additional blankets on top of the multiple heaters in the home. Thanks for the feedback!

We had a fantastic stay! The guest house was clean and organized and perfect for our needs. Homestead Modern made everything clear and easy, were friendly and responsive. Thank you!!! We loved using the hot tub after our two days of walking through the magical rocks and cacti and joshua trees of the park. We ate dinner in all three nights as it was such a pleasureable place to hang out and it felt very private. The more remote location so close to the park entrance was a big plus to us!

The Desert Hideaway is a beautiful place--clean, quiet and offers amazing views. Appreciated the extra touches: delicious and plentiful coffee, hot tub, and outdoor bed swing. Unfortunately, the laundry code wasn't working and the staff were unable to problem-solve this glitch. I also encourage guests to read the house rules BEFORE arriving! As we unloaded our car to bring in our bags, we were unaware that the strong winds from an open door would cause a lamp to fall off of a nightstand and break! Upon reading the house rules, there was a warning about the wind--but alas, the damage had already been done when we got to the document! Nonetheless, the Desert Hideaway was true to the photos and well-deserved good ratings.

The Desert Hideaway is a beautiful and amazing home to stay in! Architecturally and design wise it’s gorgeously built and complements the desert perfectly. It’s clearly built with consideration and respect for the nature around it. Truly lovely and private. My partner and I loved and enjoyed our stay! It was my first time in Joshua Tree and I couldn’t have picked a better booking. We booked this stay for our four year anniversary and the Homestead Modern team were super sweet and generous; they gifted us wine to celebrate! In addition to all of this, the Homestead Modern team was great! They were super proactive and clear about instructions, details and check-in. They were also very proactive, responsive and helpful when we reached out about the wifi going down (caused by strong winds since it’s the winter months). Overall, we genuinely loved our stay and we would definitely book The Desert Hideaway again! We will certainly be booking with The Homestead Modern team again in the future!

This place is fantastic I looked at many options in the area and I'm so glad I selected this house, it is so well situated on the property very private even with the road 50 yards away. beautiful views inside and out. we went for hikes starting right out the front door. the beads were incredibly comfortable. the spaces inside are both modern and homey at the same time. I went with my wife and I but this is a perfect place for couples or if you have a grown child who might be married. It basically has two master bedrooms and one even is its own suite with a kitchenette. So glad we stayed here.

The place was great! Loved the design and cleanliness. You cann't beat the location. Especially super convenient with a toddler. However, the description is not entirely accurate. There is no pool and both beds are queen size, not king. For us those were key requirements and even though we managed without them, we did feel disappointed.

Hi Ewa! Thank you so much for your feedback, we always try to make our listings as accurate as possible. We are unsure why this listing states there is a pool, there is not, and we are working with Airbnb to correct this. However, the houses definitely has 2 king beds, not queens. Thank you again and we hope to host you again in the future!

A great property that is just one mile from the West entrance of JTNP. The property is as advertised in the photos. Check-in and finding the place was very easy. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house making it great for families and groups of friends. The kitchen comes well equipped, it even has a waffle maker. One of the bedrooms also has an en-suite kitchenette. Of course the views from around the home are outstanding, especially at night and sunset. Relaxing in one of the two jacuzzis is a must do under the stars.

Our stay was closer to a hotel experience than an Airbnb, which we really liked. They were very well stocked and had every amenities we needed. The location was great, super close to the West Entrance of the park, but far enough from everyone else. The Airbnb looked better in person than in pictures. The 2 sides are very private, would be great for a couple to travel with their parents so they can maintain privacy while still spending time together.

This place was perfect for a weekend getaway. - Traffic getting out can be tricky so plan accordingly. - GPS navigation was easy - the location is so close to the Joshua Tree entrance, absolutely perfect. - It’s sort of close to the road so expect some car noise and lights passing by if it’s dark. - The home itself is perfect. Full kitchen and BBQ that we used with no issues. All utensils and cookware are provided! - 2 hidden jacuzzis which were perfect when the sun set and the temperatures dropped - Lots of space to yourself. We woke up early and took the dogs on walks around the land which was PERFECT. Be careful with the dogs because there are cactus and thorny bushes all around - Great communication by the property manager. Easy check-in and check-out process. Highly recommend this place! We’ll definitely be back.

This was such a lovely experience! I've never been to any desert, let alone the Joshua Tree area, and they mean it when they say this is two minutes from the West Gate. It's SO close and accessible, and only 6-ish minutes in the other direction from a souvenir shop, a great grab-and-go (Roadrunner Cafe) with fresh food, and a gas station; maybe 10 minutes from the "main" town. I found the property to be adorable and spacious, even bigger than I had anticipated - would be great for a family with kids to be able to split up the sleeping arrangements, or two couples to each have an area of the house to themselves. The views are beautiful at night and during the day, and there are hot tubs, BBQs and hanging beds on each "wing" of the house (again, perfect for two families or couples that may want some alone time in between group outings). The AC worked well, everything was clean and homey, and there were lots of windows with natural light and great views for the daytime, plus stocked cupboards (cups, silverware, plates, cookery, so forth), soaps, shampoo and conditioner, and body wash. I also want to note how grateful I am to the team for their awesome responsiveness and communication. I had some questions before I booked that they answered; I sent a quick note about getting a bit lost prior to check-in (my fault, not theirs) and they offered to help if needed (I figured it out), and all of the rules, requests, and information was clearly laid out and extremely reasonable. I didn't use a lot of the outdoor amenities because I was busy exploring the area all day/into the evening, so I can't speak to the instructions for the grill or hot tub. I honestly feel like the owners thought of everything they could, gave great advice and information on the surrounding area, and were very helpful and kind whenever I reached out. Not only would I recommend staying here to friends and family, but if/when I come back to the area in the future I will 100% book this same location. A quick note about the area: someone else has mentioned the lack of non-chain restaurants, and that's true. There are some local spots that are open during the day but not a lot of things are available after 5 or 6 pm (at least in March), so make sure you plan for that. I came in late and ended up going to one of the grocery stores nearby (Stater Bros, and there's also Vons and a Walmart) to get some food. This Airbnb has two fridges with freezers so I would recommend stocking up on some staples just in case, or if you want to grab crackers, popcorn, etc to take into the park with you for light snacking. (If you want to do a picnic, highly recommend the Roadrunner Cafe!) Also, as of March 2022, with the mask mandate lifted almost no one in the area is wearing masks or any other type of face covering. I am cautious and wear masks and eye protection at all times, so it was disheartening to see, but it's unavoidable - if you eat out anywhere, it's likely no one making your food will be masked, nor will the other patrons, etc. Just be prepared for that if it's a concern for you or your family members and arrange your outings accordingly. Luckily, you have a big beautiful national park with lots and lots of space just minutes away where you can spread out and enjoy the fresh air! It may mean that you want to do less shopping indoors at the boutiques, though.

This place is all about the proximity to the JTNP entrance. So close! Get the jump on all the most popular trails. The hot tubs and outdoor swing beds were cleaner than expected. A lovely place to stay with intelligently stocked amenities.

Enjoyed our stay so much! It is such a good location that is super close to town but then also super close to the park. Loved the fact that there were two hot tub and outdoor areas for each private room to enjoy! The outdoor bed and hot tubs were the best part. I’ve stayed in Joshua tree many times and this was such a good place. Check in was super easy, hosts were great. Definitely would recommend.

Our stay here was truly amazing, the house is gorgeous and extremely clean and modern, the property is quiet and secluded while still being very close to town. Being a mile away from the park was absolutely convenient. Especially if you’re trying to catch a sunrise or sunset. I really have no complaints at all. The hosts are generous and extremely communicative. They did their best to make us feel accommodated. The more i recount the past days the more i miss it. I am writing this at home and I really really wish I was back here on the bed swings staring into the night.

We had an absolutely perfect weekend here. The house is even nicer than it looks in pictures. There were so many thoughtful details and they had everything we needed and more. The hosts were very responsive and helpful too. We will definitely be coming back! The house is split into two sides with a kitchen/common area in the middle. It was perfect with the kids on one side and us on the other. There is literally duplicates of everything on each side. Our room even had its own kitchenette. It would be great for couples because you can shut the doors to the foyer and make it almost two separate houses. The house felt very secluded while still being close to town. It was so quiet and relaxing. One tip- they provide enough bath towels for 4 people, but we brought our own beach towels for the hot tub. Highly recommend this property!!!

This house is BEAUTIFUL and the photos don't do it justice! The decor was wonderful, the beds were SO comfy, and it was so relaxing hanging out on the couch and watching the sunset over the mountains. The area directly around the house is empty so we enjoyed walking our dog nearby. The hot tub was incredible and the grill worked really well too! The perfect place to unwind with the people you love. Our only note was that the heat didn't work super well, so we were bundled up most nights.

Wow! Wow! Wow! This place by far was the highlight of our cross country adventure! All the Airbnb’s have been great along the way but this on a whole new level. The peacefulness at this property was just what we needed for 5 days after driving a little more then 3 weeks. The pictures are very accurate, better in person. It is so modern but so comfortable. Beds were amazing, shower very nice, but our favorite thing was a afternoon tub outside looking out at the desert with an unobstructed view. If your looking to relax and regroup this is it. Perfect place if there were two couples or 2 friends. Two separate suits with a great common room/kitchen. Very convenient to grocery. We found the local JTree restaurants were delicious. We just can’t say enough about this place. Since we were there at holiday time, they dropped off a very lovely package with goodies and wine! 5 ?????????? all the way. Our pups loved it too! Thank You again!

The girlfriend and I decided to take a trip to Joshua Tree. This place was extremely close to the park’s west entrance. The home itself was great. It had the space for two couples/4 people. The house was very modern in design. It had tall ceilings and great lighting throughout the rooms. Tall ceilings with an AC unit in both rooms. The front door lock was easy to use. The kitchen fit our needs and was spacious. The tv was simple had Netflix access and a free shows/movies option. The town was only 5-10 minutes from the place and a lot of food options. Most were fast food. Some restaurants. We tried to go to local places. Weather was hot when we went. The hot tub was essentially no use for us because it was still hot at night. A lunge pool would have been nice in the heat. We didn’t have to deal with any critters/bugs. Just some moths outside. The place was quiet, secluded but was also easy to find. Other than that we enjoyed the place and would recommend.

We (mom, boy age 10 and girl age 9) came from NY to California to meet up with my husband on in west coast business trip. While in LA we decided to head to Joshua Tree because my husband has been there several times and we have not. This house was perfect for our family. The kids stayed on one side and parents on the other! The hot tubs were perfect at night and early morning. My husband loved the swinging bed on one patio and my daughter used the one on the other! No WiFi issues and our cell service worked fairly well. Video calling was grainy. We are at the Joshua Tree Saloon and Pappit and Harriets (totally awesome for kids!). We hiked in Joshua tree and generally enjoyed the quiet time at the house. My son binge watched some marvel movies while my husband golfed nearby. Excellent experience.

The hideout was the perfect getaway! The house was very unique, nicely decorated and very spacious with a trendy mid-century vibe. The place was clean and had all the necessary amenities, including for pets. We really enjoyed the outdoor swinging beds in the patio, they were perfect for enjoying the stars at night. The location was great, very close to the national park and you get an amazing view of the sunset. We really enjoyed our stay with our dog and highly recommend the hideout to anyone visiting Joshua Tree!

The Modern Homestead combines both the convenience to accessing natures natural beauty and plush comfort in a home. Sitting in a hot tube while the sun sets and watching a million stars populate the night sky is but one of many enchanting features of this home. Additionally there is a well stocked kitchen and other cooking amenities that allowed us to prepare some amazing meals and share some great wines and conversation while mesmerized by the views of the valley and mountains from the picture windows framing the kitchen and living room area. The bedrooms and baths were luxurious well appointed and also stocked with soaps, shampoos and even a first aid kit. Although the winds can reach 20-30 miles an hour which is typical for this area the bedrooms were quiet and the bedding allowed you to become ensconced and warm on cool windy nights. Overall this was an amazing place to stay in a great location.

this place was less "modern" then some their other properties but equally as good. The location is great. super close to the entrance to the park. easy access to roads. This was the second time we stayed in Joshua this year and the second time at one of their Airbnb's. we had our dog and two kids (ages 6 and 9). space was great for all of us. In one room a mini kitchen and then a full kitchen in the center of the home. Very easy to have two families stay here. Looking forward to another stay at a homestead modern property in the future.

You can expect a very quiet night stargazing out in the hot tub or laying on the floating bed. Homestead Modern was very quick with responses and made sure all Covid-19 Pre Cautions were being taken. The property is very close to Joshua Tree National park and it was a breeze to go to and from. Finding the property was very easy as well. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a warm home feeling getaway.
