Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests:

-”We absolutely LOVED our stay here! It's private, peaceful, secluded and a gorgeous architectural marvel perfect for a weekend of relaxing, hiking and stargazing.” -Katya

-”Breathtaking views and spectacular architecture and design. It’s far more beautiful than the photos. This is quite a special place.” -Susie

-”Beautifully sited and beautifully constructed. Peaceful and quiet. Hiking right outside door. Highly recommend!” -Debra

---------------

The property has no immediate neighbors, enhancing the profound sense of solitude. Flat-top mesas abound — including those in the nearby Sand to Snow National Monument. Hiking and stargazing are truly world-class in this desirable Pipes Canyon locale.

As seen in Travel + Leisure and Wallpaper Magazine, Hawk & Mesa offers stunning views in a serene location. Designer Jeremy Levine wanted to maximize the view from every room, creating a seamless flow from the house into nature. This iconic eco-friendly Pipes Canyon home is the perfect place for couples, friends, or families, with a spacious layout, impressive desert surroundings, and a pool and hot tub. As with all Homestead Modern Homes, Hawk & Mesa comes with a full-time local support team that is here to help you unplug, unwind, and engage with the desert

"Inspired by this beautiful natural landscape, the architect composed a home that acts as a flagship for sustainable living, both in terms of its building methods and its connection with its surroundings" - Wallpaper Magazine

" In order to minimize disturbance to the desert’s delicate ecosystem, the structure was designed with a zero-waste system with assembly akin to that of a giant erector set. This dramatically reduced the overall amount of construction waste and build time." - DesignBoom Magazine

The home can comfortably sleep up to six guests in two bedrooms, with an ensuite bathroom adjoining the primary bedroom. Both bedrooms offer California king mattresses from Saatva and direct patio access.

♦♦  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 Hawk & Mesa. 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.

Neighborhood Neighborhood
Pipes Canyon is one of the most sought-after locations in the High Desert. It’s close to everything – and yet very much set apart with next to no light or noise pollution. The area is surrounded by dramatic flat-top lava buttes, towering and weathered boulders, and an abundance of Joshua trees.

Pipes Canyon is immediately adjacent to the Sand to Snow National Monument as well as the Pioneertown Mountains Preserve, both offering endless hiking and exploring opportunities, and the West Entrance of Joshua Tree National Park is about 30 minutes away by car.

Although you may be tempted to spend your whole trip exploring Pipes Canyon, many more area highlights are accessible within a short drive:
• Pioneertown (10-minute drive) - Put on your ten-gallon hat and stroll down Mane Street of this Wild West-inspired town, also known for Pappy & Harriet’s, a notable restaurant and venue.
• Yucca Valley (20-minute drive) - Convenient stop for chain stores and local eateries, like Carla's Route 62 Diner and C & S Coffee Shop
• Joshua Tree Village (20-minute drive) - Quirky strip of boutiques and restaurants, including Coyote Corner, Space Cowboy Books, and the rustic Joshua Tree Saloon
• Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum (20-minute drive) - As far from a stuffy gallery as you can imagine, this outdoor sculpture garden contains a unique collection of folk-art.
• The Integratron (20-minute drive) - New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.
• Palm Springs (45-minute drive) - Artsy town known for vintage shopping, art galleries, and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.
• Mt. San Jacinto State Park (90-minute drive) - Expansive, hilly landscape with foot and horseback trails surrounding 10,834-foot Mount San Jacinto.

Of course, let’s not forget about the essentials. Everything you need is within about 15 minutes by car:
• Closest supermarket: Vons
• Closest liquor store: Yucca Valley Liquor
• Closest pharmacy: Rite Aid Pharmacy
• Closest bank: Wells Fargo Bank
• Closest gas station: Sinclair

We had such a wonderful stay at this property. The house and location are absolutely perfect. It's situated off of the main road and is super private, creating an amazingly peaceful stay. Homestead Modern also left out a doggie bed & bowls, among other things, for my pup. They were super easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions. I'd highly recommend a stay here! We will be back.

Although visiting the desert at the height of Summer is not ideal, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hawk and Mesa. We enjoyed sitting on the porch enjoying the view and the light breeze as the sun went down and the temperatures dropped considerably. We are in the market for a steel framed house and this beautiful home was a perfect example of what we want. We were also treated to a spectacular sight of Space X racing through the desert skyline. Thank you for making our stay a most pleasant one and anticipating our needs.

This is my second time in this house, to be honest is one of my favorite properties from homestead modern, its very peaceful, close to everything yet very private and the view is out of this world. Will be back for sure, I travel many times a year to Joshua Tree and always stay with homestead, their properties never disappoint and their service is the best.

This was by far one of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed in. The home is architecturally beautiful, comfortable, and well-stocked. The land on which the property sits is magical, with some of the best scenery and hikes you could imagine. Our stay was absolutely perfect. We even booked another night because we weren’t ready to leave. This place is a total gem that that you have to experience to believe. 10/10. There are no words that can do it justice. Just wow.

Book this! Had us thinking about buying in the area. “Relaxing” doesn’t really do this property justice…it’s a pure disconnect from day to day hectic life and something you must feel for yourself. Will be returning in the future.

My partner and I had an absolutely amazing evening, surrounded by the expansive natural setting that surrounds the property. Couldn’t have picked a better spot to disconnect and not look at other houses or cars. We honestly spent more time outside than in, but the home is very cozy and everything you need. I would definitely stay again.

The hi desert is magical and this home fits perfectly into the surroundings. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place. Incredible sunsets and if the moon is full, you can hike out with the coyotes at night with no flashlights. Beautiful spot I highly recommend.

Great location and beautiful house. Exactly like the pictures. We were stuck inside most of the time with bad weather but the house and location were so nice, we were happy. Very responsive support and thorough instructions. Secluded but everything you need is 10 to 15m away including the Red Saloon and Pappy and Harriets.

We cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was. Having booked rather last-minute and never having traveled to that area, we really relied on the prior reviews and abundance of photos. It’s amazing to have such honest and thorough representation. This is the perfect place to disconnect and take advantage of the peace and remote surroundings. The home and setting is stunning, well-equipped, and the amenities are just as described. Amazing place to take in the sunrise, sunset, and stargazing in a truly tranquil space. We were sad to leave, but will be delighted to return again soon. Thank you!

We drove over from LA to work from home in the Joshua Tree area (Yucca/Pioneertown) and caught the tail end of the first meteor shower of 2024. The Hawk & Mesa house was perfect in every way. The design of the house is impeccable, positioned perfectly to view every colorful hue of the sunrise as it peaks over the eastern mountains from the wide windows of the living room. It was 30-40 deg F outdoors during our stay, but we saw a few shooting stars while stargazing all night from the warm jacuzzi. We also meandered around the canyon area for a sunset hike. If you take a moment to disconnect and be present in the outdoor environment of Hawk & Mesa, the tranquility and serenity of the space will surely heal and recharge. The house came with everything, as described. Check out Pappy & Harriet’s nearby for fire BBQ. We would definitely return when we need another local retreat.

Solid homebase from where to explore the surroundings. The house borders something like a personal Joshua Tree Park right outside your door, ready for exploration. Boulder scrambling, ambling among groves ofJoshua trees and other spectacular geologies like large volcanic mesas. Add to that a well stocked house, the hot tub and the modern architecture and you will find that there is no need to go anywhere else, other than the occasional visit to Pappy and Harriet’s.

The Hawk and Mesa house was wonderful! My husband and I stayed here for just over a week and had the most relaxing time. We put 18 miles of hiking/running on that week, between the neighboring land and Joshua Tree National Park. The house was perfect and the view was beautiful - and our little coyote friend who showed up on the patio one morning was an added bonus! We would highly recommend Hawk and Mesa for anyone looking to get away from the noise and busyness of city life!

Best stay in the area, hands down. Beautiful grounds for hiking, it’s private, secluded, has modern amenities, and the listing looks just like the photos. Great location!!! The views out the back porch are insane. The mornings are great, Sunsets are beautiful and nights under the stars in the hot tub are probably as good as it gets. It’s truly an amazing spot. Clean and minimal space. Loved it. Plus it’s not far from town. Responsive hosts also made the trip that much better! Just book it already..

This was our second trip to Yucca Valley. The Hawk+Mesa was the better venue in my personal opinion. It definitely feels more expensive than the other listings at first. However, when we saw the moon rising behind the mountains from the patio during our first night, it was totally worth it. I never saw a moon rise that beautiful in my whole life. The place is so private and quite that you can just relax doing nothing just lying in the lounge bed. We had minor problems, but the host was very responsive and helpful to make us feel comfortable. I’d definitely try to visit the place again if I get a chance ??

We absolutely LOVED our stay here! It's private, peaceful, secluded and a gorgeous architectural marvel perfect for a weekend of relaxing, hiking and stargazing. Huge windows, comfy bed, the views were perfection. If you love nature and are looking for a true getaway from city life to enjoy the desert in complete privacy, this is what you're looking for. I only wish we stayed longer and had more time to hike the property because there is so much to see!!

Lovely stay, beautiful location, well appointed and maintained property! We had a wonderful time - and wanted to share that if the wind is getting in the way of grilling, use some aluminum foil to block the vents at the back of the BBQ. Worked like a charm for us so we could keep cooking outdoors even during the strongest winds in the afternoon!

A truly lovely home that was a much needed escape from city life. A serene stay complemented by beautiful scenery and a pristine house. We booked Hawk & Mesa last minute for a change of scenery and were pleased with our decision. Rather than stay in the mix of everything in Joshua Tree or Palm Springs, the home offered a bit of peaceful seclusion, which we were looking for in this particular case. We went on a hike, utilized the grill, watched a movie, and sat by the fire outside to enjoy the surroundings. Big plus was they not only welcomed us, but our well-trained dog. They were prepared inside with a dog bed, bowls, and other things. Beautifully well-kept interior and exterior, we felt right at home. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful location (down a dirt road), very private with beautiful views. Comfy layout and beds. Very tiny bathrooms. Could have been a 4+ star stay but the home needed maintenance - master shower would not produce water and sink didn't drain, washing machine was filled with mold, two stove burners were broken, oven and hand appliances weren't clean. Some areas were quite clean - pretty concrete floor, inside fridge. Good array of kitchen tools. We didn't try out the spa.

This may be my favorite rental that I've ever got.. in my entire life! So peaceful So beautiful! The house itself was modern, clean, and so well equipped that we really just needed to bring clothes. The sunrise from the back patio was mesmerizing. The sunset through the window in the kitchen was just as amazing. It's close enough to town to get what you need, but far away to have complete silence when you want. I can't say enough about how beautiful the desert landscape at the house, and in the entire area, is. I can't wait to come back...with the kids next time!

I loved my stay at Hawk & Mesa! Already can't wait to go back. The pictures speak for themselves - this place is absolutely as gorgeous as it looks. The home itself and surrounding backyard/nature feel completely remote despite being a mere 20 min drive from civilization and basic needs like groceries and gas. The place was spotless upon check in and has every amenity you could need - towels, linens, soaps, shampoo, lotion, hair dryer, kitchen appliances, utensils, wine opener, cleaning supplies - you name it. Everything is very clearly labeled or with instructions on how to use it. I could not get enough of the patio area, everything was so serene and peaceful. There was even a hiking trail that runs directly from the backyard for a few miles into the hills. A perfect place to come escape the chaos of every day life and get in touch with nature. Would recommend to anyone looking for a remote, relaxing stay.

It is also super comfortable and felt like home. The wifi works great even though there is no cell reception, the kitchen is SUPER well equipped with bonuses like a panini maker and blender, and the house stays cool throughout the day with minimal AC usage even in high-90 degree weather due to the large overhangs that keep the whole house cool. We saw hawks, two coyotes. On the last day, we saw a young bobcat that walked right through the back patio about 10 feet from the house (watch your dogs!). SO COOL! Can’t wait to come back.

The place was exactly what we needed and wanted and solving two things would have made it 100% perfect. First with the good - the place is as advertised with the interior and exterior better than or just as good as the photos show. It's a beautiful place to spend a few days (or longer). We were working remotely there and the internet was reliable and fast for multiple people to be on Zoom at the same time. The kitchen was very well stocked and the cooking facilities were all working great. The grocery store (Von's, Walmart) is a 15-20min drive away so it's not that bad and there's even a Starbucks ;-). The linens and beds were all super comfortable and soft. The outdoor space was beautiful and well-maintained. Super happy the place was dog friendly and we got a chance to stay there. I would absolutely go back multiple times if it weren't for the pretty big issue we had on check-in that tarnished a bit of the experience. If you are considering it and are good with the price I would highly recommend you go and just hope that nothing goes wrong because it's perfect if nothing does. Now for the only negatives (and 1 nitpick): - When we arrived on a 110 degree day the A/C was not working. It took multiple hours of property manager, then technician, coming out to fix it. This was not an insignificant nuisance and while I understand that it happens I was hoping for Homestead to do more for us than fix the problem. The first day was essentially a wash as the A/C didn't get fixed until dinner (imagine sitting at 90 degrees inside and outside finally cooling down to about the same temp around 6-7p), which meant interruptions to almost a full day of the time we were hoping to spend away from other people and alone. I loved the place so want to come back but knowing 1) how long it takes for something to get fixed, 2) how bad it can be given you're operating in extremes if something breaks (i.e., very very hot out, far from help) , and 3) after the fact, Homestead did not try and make it right (e.g., partial refund) I'm not sure this is the place we will choose to come back to. - The water pressure in one of the bathrooms (sadly, the master bathroom) was too low (barely enough for a comfortable shower) so we never used it and ended up using the second (guest) bathroom instead to shower since it was far better. If water pressure is critical for you consider wisely which room you choose if you have 4 people here. - The couch is shallow and not particularly cozy/comfy. If you like to lounge on couch in the living room with a movie just FYI this won't be super satisfying :)

We definitely recommend this to all travelers who are thinking of a mountain getaway in Joshua tree area. That house is really special and you feel like you are completely surrounded on all sides by the most gorgeous scenery. The glass windows make you feel like you’re outdoors.The cowboy tub is really great.we felt serene and relaxed after our stay. The host would respond to any question right away. There are many services that they offer such as desert flowers, vegetarian barbecue basket for the grill and special cowboy blankets that you can buy… The road is A little rough and it is a little rocky so you may want to rent a jeep. We had a sprinter van and it made it fine but it was a little bit bumpy. If you are looking for a rustic getaway he will absolutely love this and there are a lot of amazing things nearby to do. We went horseback riding and we took an amazing tour of the Joshua tree area. This is a hidden gem.

This place is really legit. Clean, gorgeous, secluded. Truly delivers on everything promised and imagined in ways that most places just do not.

Hawk + Mesa was an amazing getaway and the perfect base for exploring the Joshua Tree area. It was my first time, and the home was an incredible introduction to the Mojave desert. The views, landscape and accommodations were perfect, with so many details well considered and attended to. Communication with the hosts was great — good details and very responsive. There was definitely no phone signal, but the WiFi worked great. Every evening we spent lounging out in the patio, watching local wildlife and the multicolored skies. I would definitely stay again!

This place is truly outstanding. The patio and fire pit are awesome at night, and you can see all the stars really clearly. The hot tub and cowboy tub were really cool and very fun too. The place was beautifully designed and had really nice appliances/silverware/towels etc.. very high quality! We can’t wait to go back.

Hawk & Mesa was an amazing place to stay. Besides the amazing house, the views from the back are beyond amazing watching the sun and moon rises was awesome. The house itself is design great and all the kitchen tools were a joy to cook in. Highly recommend!

You absolutely cannot go wrong with this wonderful spot. If it’s available—take it! From the style of the home, to the dinnerware, everything is so thoughtful, clean, and comfortable. I was there for 3 days and I’m still not over how gorgeous it was! If you’re looking for peaceful getaway, this is it. I could go into more detail but it’s not necessary— everything was PERFECT.

An absolutely BEAUTIFUL home, inside and out. That happens to be located on a stunning piece of property with a 360* view of tranquilly serene desert landscape. Everything provided in the home is high end and top notch. The amenities are some of the better I have run across, from the cookware and appliances, to the finishes of the bathrooms, and the furniture.

We had an amazing time at this one of a kind property. The views are unparalleled. You have Ntl Park quality scenery all around you, and you can hike right out the back door. The house itself is just as gorgeous as the views and amenities like the picturesque fire pit and spa mean that you can enjoy the outdoors even in the winter. It snowed while we were there and it was nothing short of magical!
