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.

We’ve been visiting the area for the past ten years, and this home easily ranks among our top three stays of all time! It’s completely secluded, surrounded by beautiful rock formations, with total peace and quiet and no neighbors in sight. The house is stylishly designed, with modern appliances, thoughtful details, and gorgeous views from every room. The outdoor space is just as special, especially the outdoor shower and soaking tub. It was an absolute joy from beginning to end. We would give it more than five stars if we could, and we’ll definitely be back!

Such an incredible experience! Total isolation (no neighbors or cars), soaking in the outdoor tub under shooting stars—a perfect balance of rustic and luxurious. Everything felt calm and intentional—the white/red/black palette, polished concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling windows & sliding doors, top-tier appliances. Little details like restoration efforts in an old driveway & the bullet-riddled old truck shell show genuine care about stewardship & the land’s history. The surroundings—full of roadrunners, Joshua Trees, boulders, quails, cactus wren, horned lizards—was so captivating we never left! We hiked and even rock climbed in the backyard—everything from barefoot scrambles to more technical routes. What makes it not ideal for day-outings to attractions is exactly what made it HEAVEN for a couple who loves camping but wanted to focus on soothing connection and a healing reset. Just stock up on groceries before you head out—no easy store runs out here if you forget butter or ketchup!

I’ll never forget this visit to Rock Cove Modern!
After flying from Rhode Island to Los Angeles and spending a long day traveling, arriving at Rock Cove Modern was exactly what I needed. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away. This is one of the most beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed places I've ever stayed. Every detail has been carefully considered. I especially loved that everything is clearly labeled—it makes you feel right at home and takes all the guesswork out of your stay. The surrounding landscape is absolutely stunning, creating the perfect place to relax and unwind. Our favorite feature was the outdoor shower and soaking tub. They were spotless, refreshing, and unlike anything we've experienced before. It truly felt like having a private luxury spa surrounded by nature. The amenities are exceptional—honestly better than many luxury hotels I've stayed in. The value for what you receive is incredible, and every part of our stay exceeded our expectations. Rock Cove Modern has officially become my go-to place whenever I visit the West Coast. I can't recommend it enough to my friends, family, or anyone looking for the perfect combination of luxury, peace, comfort, and natural beauty. Thank you, Rock Cove Modern, for such an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to come back!

Overall an incredible stay and probably the best value that I’ve seen in the Joshua tree market for a high end 1 bdr. (I’ve stayed at a bunch of places here.) A couple things to consider when considering booking. If your goal is to be secluded and surrounded by the most breathtaking landscapes you will struggle to find a place better than this, not just in Joshua tree but across the entire US. Hands down the most gorgeous place I’ve stayed. With that said be prepared that it is a far drive from town (35 min for an average driver) and you will spend roughly 20 of that on a dirt road that is a bit precarious at times. To be clear it’s not necessarily a bad thing, it was a very cool drive for me, but if I you want to go into town multiple times a day or don’t like bumps, it’s probably not the place. Also I would highly recommend arriving during daylight if possible, due to the dirt road, and would not recommend anything smaller than a SUV.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We're so glad the privacy, landscape, and overall experience made such an impression. We also appreciate the helpful notes about the remote location and road conditions, which can be especially useful for future guests. It was a pleasure hosting you!

I’d give it 100 stars if I could! It might have been one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had. And we’ve been to a lot of places, many of which were magical. But this place was something else—very off the beaten path. Once you’re there, you don’t really need to leave and can be entertained for days by hiking around the property, enjoying the house, and watching the sunset from a different spot each night. It’s so beautiful. The place is well-equipped, and we cooked easily in the kitchen, which was stocked with all the essentials. The BBQ works great, and the market lights at night added a fun touch. My partner and I really enjoyed the outdoor shower and bathtub. I thought we’d be disappointed that there wasn’t a hot tub, but I couldn’t have been more glad after this experience. The tub is fantastic—the water is hot, and there’s plenty of space for two. If you need to disconnect, this is your place. At night, wrapped in blankets, outside under the stars. Perfection. Seriously.

Exceptionally private expanse of beauty. We absolutely loved our stay here. It felt as though we were immersed in our own private national park. A particular highlight is the bath and shower area under the stars. Everything is very well thought out, with all the amenities and supplies that we needed. Host is very accommodating. We loved it here so much we extended our stay. One note to be mindful of is the last 20 minutes of the drive are on dirt roads, but nothing our SUV couldn’t handle. It just lends itself to the private atmosphere we loved so much. Can’t wait to return to this truly magical retreat!

Really loved our stay here. The place looked exactly like the photos and had such a good vibe from the moment we arrived. Super peaceful, private, and perfect for a relaxing desert getaway. The outdoor setup was a great spot to hang out during the day and at night. Everything felt really clean and well thought out too. Hosts were great and communication was easy the whole time.
