Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests:

”This is one of the most gorgeous modern homes we’ve been in the high desert. The house was clearly built to admire the view 360 degrees around the house. Huge windows everywhere make let you see the sunsets and beautiful dark sky." Adam

-”After renting a number of houses in Joshua Tree this was the best ever! House is well equipped and very nicely furnished. The best view port outside for watching meteors shower. Don't forget your telescope for great stargazing” - Joshua

-BEDS & BATHS-
The home can comfortably sleep up to four guests in two bedrooms. The primary bedroom features a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom has a queen-size bed and funky furnishings. Both bedrooms have sliding doors that lead to the back patio.

Shelter 2 also has two bathrooms. The primary bathroom has dual sinks with wood accents and chrome features, plus a glass-enclosed walk-in rainfall shower and plenty of hotel-quality towels. Step through the door to enter the lovely private courtyard with an outdoor shower. The second bathroom, located across the hall from the second bedroom, includes a luxurious deep-soaking bathtub.

Need to do some laundry? There’s a washer and dryer available for your use.

-KITCHEN & DINING-
Natural elements meet modern technology in the kitchen, which features sleek stainless steel appliances and custom wood cabinetry. Appliances include a gas stove, oven, fridge, freezer, microwave, and dishwasher, and both a drip coffee maker and a French press are ready for your morning java ritual. The cabinets are stocked with dishes, cookware, and a blender.

When it’s time to eat, dine in style at the table for four - or opt for a meal outside on the patio.

-LIVING SPACE-
The kitchen opens up to a bright, airy living room with a comfortable sofa. After an invigorating hike (or a hearty meal at one of Joshua Tree’s delicious restaurants), you’ll want to kick back and relax in air conditioned comfort. Flip on the TV (DirecTV channels included), or just admire the spectacular views through the huge windows as your favorite tunes play through the Soundfreaq Bluetooth speaker.

-OUTDOOR SPACE-
Steps from the living room is your private patio, surrounded by gorgeous Joshua trees, which is an ideal place to relax. It’s up to you whether you’d prefer to soak up the rays in a lounge chair or sip a glass of California wine.

When the sun goes down, nothing beats sitting around the stone fire pit with a view of the mountains in the distance. End the day with a soak in the Jacuzzi hot tub (or a refreshing dip in the cowboy tub!) overlooking the mountains in the sunset.

When you’re in the mood for dinner with a view, just fire up the propane BBQ and pull up a chair at the outdoor dining table, which seats six.

-ESSENTIALS-
Parking is available for two vehicles: one in the carport and one in the driveway. There’s an electric vehicle charger in the carport.

Shelter 2 also 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 Shelter 2. 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.

(Fast) Alles wunderbar. Die Unterkunft ist schön gelegen, man hat absolute Ruhe und hat das Gefühl man ist im nirgendwo. Traumhafte Sonnenuntergänge und schöner Sternenhimmel. Es gab 2 technische Probleme mit Klimaanlage und Whirlpool. Das kann wohl leider mal passieren.

It was our first time to Joshua Tree and the house was perfect for that experience. It was really close to the national park entrance and just a few miles from restaurants and coffee, but it still felt private. It has a great view of the surrounding mountains, and as soon as the sun went down, we got good use out of the fire pit and hot tub. Love the clean, modern look in the house, which had everything we needed for a quick weekend trip.

One of the most peaceful airbnbs I’ve stayed at in the area. I was on a little writing retreat and the space was super conducive to creativity and communing with nature. The private patio with outdoor shower is amazing as is the view from the living room. I hope to return soon! Magical place.

We were happy from the start because of the cleanliness and new-ness. Stayed with my husband and chill dog for a few-day-getaway. It was perfect bc it was just far enough away from town, and super close to the entrance of the park. Loved it! Things which stood out for us: 1) cleanliness 2) modern 3) stuff left for the dog: poop bags, lint brush, couch sheet, dog bed (even though our boy wouldn’t sleep on the dog bed bc of the smells of other dogs- it’s ok bc we brought his own) 4) Britta 5) fire pit ?? 6) hot tub temp ?? 7) the bed sheets were so comfy and well made- no cheap sheets. And I slept very well on the mattress. Things that were missing or suggestions (but are NOT deal breakers… 1) no French press 2) hot water took forever to come out of showers and sinks…coming from drought in LA- it killed me to run the water for so long 3)TV- could have been easier to navigate btwn two controllers- maybe just get a smart tv? Can’t wait to go back w/ friends! Rent all 3 houses!

The house is clean, modern and very close to the park, which is a plus! A few minor issues: 1). The wifi is spotty at best, we had to restart the modem everyday in order to connect and was still slow if/ when it connected. 2). There was a recent winter storm and it took an entire night and the next day for the heat to warm the house (this was an issue mostly for our infant who we had to dress in 3 layers the first night because temp was barely 60 degrees with the heat on). After the house warmed it stayed warm and was no longer an issue. After messaging the host they told us that the system has a lag and that the winter storm likely affected the wifi, however it did not get any better when the weather improved. These are by no means deal breakers but with a higher price tag at $450/night we hoped for better.

Hello, thank you for the feedback. We are working to improve internet connectivity and storms in the desert are sometimes more likely to affect service than in urban areas of the state. Thankfully we have nature to supplement the experience! With overnight lows in the 30's, we also work hard to keep guests warm. Your reply helps us continually improve! Thank you!

The property is absolutely beautiful! Had a blast staying there for 4 nights. It’s kind of secluded and yet in a very close proximity to the park and dining options ( literally 5 min drive).

Highly recommend it for your gateway to Joshua Tree!!

Perfect couple getaway in Joshua Tree. The property is located on the way to the entrance to the park. The interior is modern yet functional. One king and one queen bed.

The shelter 2 was a well designed, thought out nicely appointed space. From the views to the furniture, top appliances and layout. It’s secluded yet very close to everything you need especially the park. They had pet supplies which made us feel even more welcome. There was a operator error issue that was addressed immediately. Highlights of our stay were Star gazing at night from the jacuzzi, grilling meals on the bbq with friends, & outside showers while taking on the desert breeze. We will definitely be coming back to stay.

My fiancé and I decided we wanted a last minute getaway so we found this spot and were beyond satisfied when we got here. Location is super close to the park entrance, very private, excellent for just sitting out on the porch listening to music (or just nature) and having some drinks while taking in the views. House had everything you could need, very clean and checking in and out was super easy. The hosts are easy to communicate with but barely any communication was needed. We drove a RWD car and had no trouble at all getting in and out of the property. Thanks again!

LOVED this house. The location is incredible for accessing the western side of Joshua Tree. The views are beautiful. The house is really well-designed for two couples or a family. The outdoor spaces are fantastic. Couldn't recommend it more highly

Shelter 2 was amazing! My wife and I had a great time stargazing in the hot tub, waking up to the sunrise from our big private patio window and not to mention the outdoor shower was everything we needed after a 6 mile hike in the park. Close to everything you need to enjoy Joshua Tree and the communication was great through the Shelter staff. We’ll definitely be staying here again when we visit Joshua Tree. Such a magical place!

We loved the property and how close it is to Joshua Tree! It had everything we needed and more. The 360 degree views were amazing and it had a good balance of privacy but not being too remote. The host was very quick to respond. We hope to be back again!

Place was nice! Was curious about the set up as there are 2 other Shelters on the property. It felt very private as the other places are far enough away with strategically placed privacy screens. We made use of the outdoor fire area & the grill. The home had everything we needed and the hosts were courteous & responsive.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location cannot be beat, it is SO close to the park and yet remote enough to feel very private and secluded. Also probably one of the cleanest airBNBs I’ve ever stayed at. Amazing views from every room. Everything was perfect and would 100% recommend staying here.

This place was so beautiful, we did not want to leave. It is immaculate and spacious. I could not get over the beautiful views. The hot tub is perfect for Desert mornings. We pretty much cancelled our Palm Springs itinerary and spent a majority of our time at this beautiful property.

This is one of the most gorgeous modern homes we’ve been in the high desert. The house was clearly built to admire the view 360 degrees around the house. Huge windows everywhere make let you see the sunsets and beautiful dark sky. We loved the outdoor fire, the jacuzzi, the location with privacy, and the spaciousness of the place. In addition little touches, like makeup wipes, nice high end soaps, very organized linen closets and clean and organized kitchen makes this place a nice spot for those who want R&R and inspiration. The only thing though, is the internet make sometimes need to be restarted; which was a quick fix for us.

We had a great week at the Shelter. Perfect location just minutes from the Joshua Tree park entrance. The unit was just what’s depicted in the pictures and had everything needed to cook our meals and relax outdoor next to the firepit. Would definitely stay again next time we visit Joshua Tree!

Shelter 2 was a great place to stay -- very clean and in a great location. The hosts were very responsive when I needed help with a couple things too. It's a perfect place to get away, and the outside areas were ideal for star-gazing. I will note that I had a little bit of trouble with my car on one of the roads on my way in, due to the flash floods they just had, so just be mindful of the weather if you don't have four-wheel drive. It had been smoothed out by the time I needed to get back, so it was only a temporary issue - and the hosts offered to escort me if I had issues or was worried, which was really great and very much appreciated. I'll definitely return soon!

After renting a number of houses in Joshua Tree this was the best ever! House is well equipped and very nicely furnished. The best view port outside for watching meteors shower. Don't forget your telescope for great stargazing. The hosts were very nice and helpful for any questions you might have.

The home was lovely! We loved the open space and the scenery was amazing. It’s only a mile away from Joshua Tree National Park which was very convenient for morning hikes. The biggest plus was the ability to stargaze right from the back yard.

The Shelter getaway was so peaceful and offered tons of amenities on the property. The views were beautiful and I especially enjoyed the outdoor fire pit in the evening with a clear view of the stars! Thank you so much for the hospitality, this bnb accommodated me perfectly in my need for my self-card getaway…will definitely be coming back.

Our first time visiting Joshua Tree was a success! Loved the modern feel of this place. It was perfect for 2 people plus a pup. The location was perfect; basically 10 minutes away from the front entrance, making access into the park a breeze. We were also about 15 minutes away from the main "town" area, so good access to groceries and restaurants. Overall, would book again!

If you’re looking for a getaway from the chaos of your day to day life, look no further! Shelter 2 is so cozy and private yet so close to town. The sunsets over the valley are breathtaking and it truly feels like a home away from home. Plus the Joshua Tree National Park entrance is literally 2 minutes down the road. Book this place ASAP! You won’t regret it.

Where to begin! My stay here was beyond words. I booked a weekend out for my boyfriend birthday and it was spectacular. From the very beginning, there was fast communication. My host at homestead was so accomodating in booking a private chef and a massage at my request. They booked us a private chef Justin, and it was the best food we’ve had. We were given a 4 course meal to choose from and he made it so personalised for us and such a wonderful experience. The following morning we had two massage ladies come and they were some of the best massages we’ve head. Homestead honestly went above and beyond to accomodate our needs . The place itself was so clean, neat and had such a gorgeous design to it. It was so quiet and peaceful and the night sky was breath taking. You’ve never seen stars light up the sky like here. They make it very clear that no one has lights on around you so you can enjoy the sky. Would come back again and highly recommend this place!

What a beautiful Joshua Tree retreat, the perfect launch pad for adventures in the park. The house was immaculate. The furnishings and decor unique and modern. (Love the art!). Comfortably appointed for two couples or a small family. We loved the small considerations that made it special: peepholes in privacy screen around outdoor shower and deck, seating and fire pit overlooking the small canyon leading to the park. Cowgirl tub and hot tub looked inviting but didn’t have time to enjoy. Best of all: a quick mile into Joshua Tree park and easy drive to conveniences of both Joshua Tree the town and Yucca Valley. Hope to visit again.
