My wife and I had a most magical stay! The sunset was breathtaking, the sunrise was epic. Sitting by the fire under the stars with my soulmate was a memory I'll cherish forever. The morning jacuzzi and cold plunge topped off our stay. Playing the vinyl, and dancing in the house was super fun too! The view from the living room was INCREDIBLE. This was a perfect reset to what's really important in life.

Thanks for staying with us, Eric. Glad you and your wife had such a magical stay — the sunsets, sunrise, stars by the fire, and the morning hot tub and cold plunge all sound perfect. Love that the vinyl and dancing added to the fun and that the living-room view was incredible. So happy the visit served as a reset — we’d love to host you both again.

Beautiful property. Felt right at home. Stars were amazing. Unfortunately we couldn't use the pool or hot tub since it wasn't working properly but the sunrises made up for it. Bathrooms were larger than expected. Kitchen is huge, but still felt very homey and cozy. It was hard for us to locate the property in the dark, and the roads aren't fully paved so expect some uneven ground when driving in.
- Review Date: 2/13/2026
Thank you for your detailed review! We’re glad you felt at home and enjoyed the stars, sunrises, and the space inside the house. We sincerely apologize that the pool and hot tub were not working properly during your stay and truly appreciate your understanding. We also appreciate your feedback about finding the property and the road conditions. We’d love to welcome you back for another high desert getaway soon!

Such a beautiful stay in Joshua Tree. Hightail House was just as lovely and well-designed as the pictures made it out to be. You truly feel a world away, staring out at the gorgeous desert mountain view. There was a construction trailer off to the side of the house, but it was barely visible through he windows, and did not detract at all from the incredible experience. Homestead Modern was a fantastic host. The turntable and speakers were a little tricky to figure out (more detailed instructions on that would be a huge plus). But other than that, the communication and instructions were perfect. A couple small things: as others have noted, the pool is indeed small. Just know that it's more of a plunge pool than anything else. Still fantastic. Also, there isn't a pantry of cooking staples like they have at some Airbnbs. Just salt, pepper, and cooking oil. So you'll very much have to bring your own. Just a good thing to know! Can't wait to come back!

Nice place with a beautiful view. Wasn’t quite as secluded as we would have liked but still a stunning house. Shampoo and soap seemed to be watered down a bit, and don’t turn the air conditioner below 70 or it will leak. Other than that it had everything we needed. Nice table and grill outside. Hot tub and pool were amazing! Fireplace was wonderful too.

Beautiful home with a beautiful view! Modern space with clean and open feeling. The pool and hot tub are as wonderful as they look. We had fun learning and playing bocci ball and roasting marshmallows over the fire ring. There is a family of road runners that visits every morning along with a resident hummingbird. We very much enjoyed our peaceful stay.

We stayed here for a birthday getaway and absolutely loved it. The house is beautiful and super comfortable — everything felt really well thought out. We cooked a bunch in the kitchen, which had everything we needed, and the EV charger was a great surprise that made things super convenient. Spending time outside was the best part — soaking in the hot tub under the stars was unreal. The place is peaceful, stylish, and close enough to town and the park, but still feels totally private. Would 100% come back. One of our favorite stays yet!

This house is was amazing! Perfection! I work ALOT and needed solitude. I got it!! Loved the camp fire, the sauna, the pool(cover opens and closes easily). Host gave us gifts! The white bedding was cozy and soft with memory foam mattress(I usually am not a fan of memory foam but this mattress was excellent). The place looked exactly like it did in the pictures. Super clean! I've stayed in many rental homes throughout the years and this host knows whats important. Thank you!!

I wish we could have extended our trip! The house was very comfortable and clean. It was a great location for my first trip to Joshua Tree. I really like that we were located just a short ride to restaurants and shops, but at the same time in the middle of nature.

This location is absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway. I booked it for my 8 year anniversary and everything was wonderful. The location is easy to access I have a sports car and had no issue driving down the dirt road. The house is exactly how the pictures look but 100 times better. The Spa with the view is amazing at night and overall the property is very peaceful. Will definitely be booking again with Homstead Modern.

Homestead Modern was even more spectacular than we could have ever imagined! From the start, the host was super helpful and responsive, providing clear directions to the house and an easy check-in process. The moment we arrived, it felt like home! We settled in for the week and fully enjoyed everything this beautiful space had to offer. The surroundings were peaceful, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the décor was absolutely stunning!! We soaked up the sun during the day and enjoyed the true dark night skies. We’re already planning our return trip—mainly just to stay at Homestead Modern again! Thank you for such a restful and memorable vacation home.

5-Star Review for Homestead Modern Airbnb Our stay at Homestead Modern was absolutely wonderful! The property was incredibly clean and well-maintained, making it feel like a true home away from home. One of our favorite highlights was enjoying the fire pit at night—it was such a cozy and relaxing experience for our family. Every detail of the property was thoughtfully designed, and it exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a perfect getaway!

This property is so good to stay with beautiful scenery and clean furniture. And it has zero dust. Especially the pool and hot tub are so good to enjoy outdoor air/atmosphere without any privacy concerns. Lastly, its location is close to Main Street, so we can easily come and go to visit a restaurant. I strongly recommend this property as your vacation or stay.

The perfect place for a two-person getaway + dogs. Our second trip to Hightail House was as rejuvenating as the first. We took full advantage of the sparkling clean (!) pool and hot tub, and appreciated how dog-friendly the space is. Other highlights that will have us booking again in the future: super comfy beds, thoughtful decor, robust air conditioning in every room and a well-appointed kitchen.

Our stay at The Hightail House was spectacular. Before we even set foot into the house, the host was extremely communicative and sent us clear instructions and answered all of our questions right away. This 2 bedroom 2 bath home is stunning and possibly one of the most beautiful locations we have ever stayed at. The house is so thoughtfully decorated and includes an impeccable record collection and record player. My chef husband enjoyed cooking in the beautifully appointed kitchen. However the best thing about our stay here was the view. The outdoor living space allows for the perfect place to wake up in the morning, enjoy a coffee and watch the breathtaking sunrise, we did this every morning of our stay. The Hightail house is located only 8 mins from the park, and just down the road from downtown Joshua Tree. We will be coming back here for our next visit to Joshua Tree - Highly recommend!!!

The Hightail House was the perfect place for a peaceful 2-night 2-person work retreat. The dogs loved exploring the backyard area, while us humans took advantage of the amenities, namely the in-ground dipping pool and hot tub (would book again for that alone!). It was also very conducive to working: we were able to take multiple video calls without a problem. The kitchen is well-appointed, beds comfy, the scenery idyllic and the vibes top-notch. We can’t wait to return!

Hightail House is one of the dreamiest Airbnbs we have stayed at! It is exactly as described, the host was super responsive, the location is private and quiet, it was fully stocked (knives that are sharp, plenty of kitchen items - even ones we didn’t think of like plastic bags, and luxurious bathroom toiletries). Our favorite part was by far the pool and hot tub - early morning swims with coffee and late night dips under the stars was magical. It was the perfect place to relax, but also close to Joshua Tree National Park and restaurants/grocery stores. We would 100% stay here again!

We had a wonderful time at this property! The property is newer and has been thoughtfully designed and outfitted. The views are fantastic and wat hung sunset from the hot tub or pool, all you see is the beautiful pink and purple mountains. We appreciated that each bedroom is its own master suite with en suite bath. The property itself sits off the paved road and feels secluded without being isolated. Both members of our party felt the beds alone were worth the price of admission!! All in all, a peaceful, last minute stay and we’d recommend!

Loved my stay here July 12-14, 2023. AC works great. The pool and house were immaculate and spotless. I was thrown by the short dirt road, but it was easy to navigate. Took 4 access codes to finally get in the door. There was no hot water in the house but I didn’t notice it until I went to wash my hair and wanted some hot water. Cold showers had been great considering the outdoor temperatures were well over 110. Jacuzzi heats up fast. Fire pit was fun at night. One neighbor has a huge spotlight and kinda messes with the dark sky policy here. But the stargazing was cool, saw 2 shooting stars. I’m planning to stay here again during the meteor showers. The host responded to my text question quickly. The nearest market is 15 minutes away. The BBQ grill was nice and clean and had plenty of propane. The refrigerator had an ice maker and it was full of ice, a nice little thing to find in the summer heat. Beds were firm, sheets were crisp percale lovely.

Perfect desert hideaway. We left the city for peace and quiet and got much more. The interior has a great layout, the beds are sooooo comfy my goodness (I would love it if y’all could email the types of beds those are because I need to upgrade to them). The exterior has so much space to lounge around in from the pool to the hot tub to the surrounding space that makes you feel like you’re on your own planet Not far from local shops, but far enough away that you can sit outside and hear absolutely nothing. It’s pretty spectacular!

This is a really amazing property and I absolutely recommend booking this. The views are incredible and the place was very clean. The only thing I’d be aware of is that I asked for the pool to be heated super last minute which cost around $300. They told me it wouldn’t be warm enough till the evening however it only got colder since we arrived. For $300 I feel a little slighted given that if they’d told me that for the duration of the stay it would never get hot enough to use, I wouldn’t have paid the fee.
