High Desert Fade | Pioneertown | Homestead Modern, LLC

Location

Description

Summary

In an enchanting canyon, impressive boulder formations stand sentinel over Hi-Desert Fade-an innovative new home that fuses sleek architecture with artisan warmth. The light gauge steel frame allows the structure to float above the native landscape; the effect lends a sense of weightlessness to the home’s distinct character. The outdoor areas are optimized for enjoyment w/ a cowboy tub style pool, hot tub, bocce court & fire-pit.
Joshua Tree NP -->15 Min Drive
Pappy & Harriet’s -->8 Min Drive

Space

Brought to life with the help of Homestead Modern, Hi-Desert Fade sits in a rocky canyon among ancient pinyon pine trees whose roots sustain the trees by following — and further opening — cracks in the rock where water accumulates. Among the diverse fauna dotting the floor of the canyon are desert scrub oaks, Joshua trees, yuccas, cholla, and creosote.

The canyon is sparsely populated and largely undeveloped. The dirt road that leads to Hi-Desert Fade dead ends just to the west, where the canyon abuts on endless wilderness. Members of the small, private community share a deep regard for the serene remoteness and ecological vibrance of the area. The vistas and geologic formations rival the most striking destinations in the National Park.

Hiking opportunities abound and bird watching is remarkably worthwhile throughout the year. Listen carefully after a rain storm — you’ll notice a rare desert soundtrack as waterfalls and washes spring to life. Most winters bring at least a dusting of snow — a surreal sight to behold against the desert landscape.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO USE OF OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV) IN THIS AREA.

Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Recent Guests:

-”Beautiful, contemporary home nestled in the rocks. Top of the line outdoor kitchen, most comfortable bed & luxurious linens. Thoughtful touches everywhere. We enjoyed our stay & I would definitely come again.” -Adam

-”The location is perfect, totally secluded with beautiful scenic views. The house is absolutely incredible - so modern and very cozy!" -Amelia

-”You are surrounded by these giant rocks all around you. The cowboy tub and jacuzzi were perfect to spend some time in.The hammocks are great to lay on at night and watch the stars. The house has floor-to-ceiling windows with automatic shades. The views are stunning. It is a beautiful desert!” -Tina

-BEDS & BATHS-
This two bedroom home can comfortably sleep up to 4 guests. Private, adjoining patios and floor to ceiling windows encourage movement between indoor and outdoor spaces. Each bedroom features a California king bed, Parachute Linens, Blacksaw alpaca textiles, and a desk to write or work.
Both bathrooms include walk-in showers, and a washer and dryer are available for any laundry needs. For maximum privacy, the two bedrooms and baths are located on opposite ends of the house.

-KITCHEN & DINING-
The kitchen, dining area and living room are positioned in the open center of the house, where 13 foot ceilings and soaring walls of glass frame the majesty of the desert backdrop.

This kitchen is equipped with a Wolf Range, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher, and the drawers are stocked with dishes and utensils. With Le Creuset bakeware, a Kitchen-aid Mixer, and an abundance of serving trays, this kitchen is a chef’s dream! There’s also a coffee maker, french press and blender so you can whip up your morning beverage of choice.

The warm, wood dining table and Danish Raholt dining chairs accommodate six people. The outdoor dining table is located on the main deck, which extends the length of the house. We recommend at least one meal under the stars; with so little light pollution in the canyon, the night sky’s constellations are especially brilliant.

-LIVING SPACE-
Although you might be tempted to forgo technology during your stay, the living room has a smart TV and bluetooth speaker so you can stream your favorite shows. Prepare a drink at the bar, grab a Phaidon design book, and settle in among vintage bedouin pillows while the sun sets across the boulders.

-OUTDOOR SPACE-
The house offers generous shaded sitting areas outside for comfort, even at the height of summer. A propane fire feature invites guests to pull chairs close for magical nights, even when the weather turns cool.

After a day of activities, follow a short path to a secluded group of boulders where a hot tub awaits, along with a “cowboy tub” — a repurposed galvanized stock tank offering cool dips in warm weather. Hammocks and a Petanque court are scattered in different corners of the property! ATVs and dirt bikes are not allowed on this property and cannot be used off road in this neighborhood.

-ESSENTIALS-
Parking is available for at least 3 vehicles.

The property is equipped with 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 Hi-Desert Fade. 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..

You will have the entire house and property to yourself.

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 pharmacy: Rite Aid Pharmacy
• Closest bank: Wells Fargo Bank

Probably one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed in! Amazingly well equipped. Beautifully curated and stylish but comfortable. Location is private, beautiful and peaceful, which is what we wanted. Communication from Homestead was on point. Hope to come back!

We booked this for Christmas and it was perfect from start to finish. The host was very responsive and gave perfect instructions to get to the home. It is very secluded and peaceful. The kitchen was amazing and has everything you could possibly need to cook any meal. The bedrooms were so comfortable with high end sheets, which is such a plus when you rent an Airbnb. I would love to return someday and explore more of the beautiful Joshua tree area.
- Review Date: 12/28/2024

We’re so happy to hear your Christmas stay was perfect from start to finish. We’re also glad you found us responsive and the instructions helpful. We’d love to welcome you back anytime to explore more of the beautiful Joshua Tree area. Thank you again for choosing our home!

This was my second stay in two years. This time I stayed for two nights. My friend, visiting from Tokyo, was blown away by the surroundings and the home interior. And the kitchen is quite nice, we cooked and enjoyed the nature. It is a special location that I comeback again and again when important friends visit me in Los Angeles. Highly recommended.
- Review Date: 12/18/2024

This home is absolutely beautiful and the location is so private and serene. We went with two couples and the house was perfect with two primary suites on opposite ends of the home. The kitchen was so well stocked. We all loved the home!
- Review Date: 11/18/2024

We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty and privacy of the home and that the layout worked perfectly for your group. It’s great to know the well-stocked kitchen added to your experience as well. We’d love to host you all again in the future!

Extremely beautiful and peaceful, our stay was beyond impressive. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Everything you could possibly need in a kitchen or appliances and amenities. You feel right at home just by showing up. Even gave us jugs of water to stay hydrated!

Great place! Would definitely rent again

Great stay ! Can’t recommend enough!
- Review Date: 8/11/2024

If you want to feel cut off from the world and learn what the sound of silence and nature is, this is the place for you! This home is very thoughtful. I loved all the ways you can BE in this space. And while the house itself is wonderful the real star of the show is the surrounding area. Everywhere you look is beauty. What a wonderful place to TRULY get away! We enjoyed every minute of it!
- Review Date: 7/28/2024

If you are looking for a great peaceful place to stay this is the place to be. The property was so beautiful inside and out. We enjoyed how peaceful it was during the day & how dark it got at night . The kitchen was full of things to use . I love making drinks and there was a bar cart with everything that I needed . The beds were super comfortable and all rooms had a great view of the outdoors . We will definitely be staying again next time we will bring our family. Be sure to use the cow boy pool & jacuzzi we didn’t get to use it because we loved being inside and just relaxing
- Review Date: 7/25/2024

We LOVED this house. It was an epic home base for a few short day trips to Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. The views are so beautiful and the quiet is pretty amazing. The house is full of amenities and super clean. We saw a fair amount of ants but we were expecting that based on the thorough description. They weren’t a problem but I would recommend keeping all food in the fridge to not attract them. It was 10/10 experience- highly recommend.
- Review Date: 7/22/2024

This place was a home away from home and extremely gorgeous, the decor was warm and welcoming. The location quiet and secluded enough to feel like your alone in the beautiful starry mountains. It was close by many stores and restaurants, the owners placed a binder at the entrance that was full of recommendations on different places to go nearby. Mostly we loved how CLEAN it was. The hot tub and cowboy pool we enjoyed the most! Oh and did I mention Joshua Tree is lol 15-20 min away from this place!! We didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit but loved that it was electric and in a great spot, will definitely coming back soon!!
- Review Date: 7/16/2024

Absolutely beautiful and unique location. This house is great for an escape from regular life. The kitchen was one of the most well equipped of any rental I’ve ever been to. There are many excellent restaurants nearby but we were just as happy to stay in and cook. There is a lot to love about this house but we especially enjoyed the cowboy and hot tubs in the evenings. If you want to enjoy all the comforts of modern life in the middle of the desert look no further.
- Review Date: 7/9/2024

The perfect peaceful weekend getaway. Beautiful property and amazing amenities! Thank you!
- Review Date: 7/3/2024

Wow, what a beautiful, tranquil and amazing house in an incredible location. We absolutely loved our time here and it has to be the best equipped house we have ever stayed in. We only wish our trip was longer, but we will be back!

Our two-night stay at Hi-Desert Fade was truly remarkable. Tucked away yet conveniently close to amenities, the property offered serene seclusion. The living spaces, sleeping quarters, and bathrooms were immaculate and clutter-free, providing a welcoming retreat. The well-stocked kitchen made cooking effortless. However, the highlight was undoubtedly stargazing from the hot tub, a mesmerizing experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Hi-Desert Fade for a tranquil desert getaway.

This place is awesome. The house was super clean, with comfortable beds and linens. The kitchen was amazing with quality appliances and utensils, that made cooking a joy rather than a task. Being so far away from stores and restaurants it was nice to have such a fully functioning kitchen/barbeque area. The setting is beautiful with large rock outcroppings on both sides of the house. The floor to ceiling windows enhanced the views and framed the natural environment nicely. We really enjoyed our stay. The satellite internet worked well, while we were there, but there was zero Verizon cell coverage, which I enjoyed, but maybe difficult for people who need to be totally connected to the outside world.

Amazing place. With a James Bond touch. A lot of material in the kitchen, cool surroundings and nice hikes. We will be back for several nights.

This was my favorite Airbnb I have EVER stayed in. Countless amenities, beautiful details and such an inspiring space. But what stood out to us the most was the LOCATION, nestled between epic rock formations • priceless views from every direction. It’s secluded, peaceful and truly otherworldly. Could not recommend this space enough. Book it!

We loved our stay here so much. Before we left we were already planning our next visit. The hosts are so thoughtful and have stocked the house with so many essentials. Their kitchen supplies are the most impressive I’ve ever seen. The host was responsive and helpful when we couldn’t figure out how to get the heater working when we first got there (it was working in no time). You will not regret choosing this as a place to stay especially if you plan to cook, bake, BBQ etc.. We can’t wait to visit again!

The perfect secluded sanctuary. Being from LA this was an ideal escape. Tranquil, quiet and very private. The surrounding environment was better than some of the national parks in that area in its remarkable beauty. Pics don’t do it justice. The home itself had everything you could possibly need to hunker down. As an avid cook I was thrilled with how equipped the kitchen was. I wrote down names of plates and tools so I can later buy the goods - it was that well curated. Thank you so much for this unforgettable trip. Bookmarking this Airbnb for sure and I’ve never said that about any Airbnb which is WILD.

A Chic Retreat for Cooking Enthusiasts! Great stay in a very stylish place. Location nestled in among the rocks felt very private, and the modern space was gorgeous. Never got tired of looking out of the giant windows at the fantastic landscape. Best of all -- EXTREMELY WELL APPOINTED KITCHEN. We love to cook, but on vacation it can be hard making do with the basics. Not the case here! This kitchen has everything, from cast iron, to meat thermometers, to cook's knives, to all sorts of mixing/measuring/serving dishes and utensils. Truly, we wanted for nothing, no making do. Overall, delightful and restful stay. Thanks!

We just returned from our second stay at HI Desert Fade & will be booking again for next year. This is our most favorite airbnb. The communication is within minutes if you have questions & is very easy to find when you follow their directions. So much to say about this space & I know I may not do it justice. While the pictures are perfect, you have to see it to believe it. The home is so well done & the surroundings are breathtaking. The views never get old. The kitchen is THE MOST well stocked kitchen you've ever seen. They truly have thought of everything! Appliances are top notch & literally have everything you could possibly need. The home is beyond clean & beautifully decorated!! We discovered so many more fun places to eat & drink this stay. There is a book with their suggestions- Pappy & Harriets, Red Dog Saloon, La Copine(OMG delicious!!! We had a reservation) & The Copper Room are all about a 20 minute drive. Thank you AGAIN! Cannot wait to return in 2024!

Easily one of my favorite places I’ve stayed. The surroundings were stunning and it felt private, peaceful, and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances, dishes, and everything we needed for cooking - loved the cocktail cart as well. We also loved that it was dog friendly.
- Review Date: 10/11/2023

This house is amazing! Finding it can be a little intimidating at first, but it is so worth the stay. We had some issues out of the control of the host such as the Wi-Fi and dishwasher being out of service due to a recent storm. The host was awesome and communicative about these issues before we arrived and even offered us other housing options which we greatly appreciated. We chose to stick with this house and we’re so happy we did. It is a magical place to stay and we were happy to unplug for a few days.

The Homestead Modern property, Hi-Desert Fade, was absolutely stunning . So peaceful, quiet and isolated. We had an issue with the WiFi not working at the property and some ants (which can be expected in the desert). But, they were quick to find a resolution for us and moved us to another Homestead Modern property nearby, which was just as lovely and peaceful. The homes are beautifully decorated in modern simple decor that creates an overall peaceful feeling in the home. There is a fully stocked kitchen, which we loved! I have never seen such a well stocked kitchen at an air bnb. The views from the hot tub are just spectacular during the day and evening. If you feel like you need to get away from the chaos of the city for some peace and rejuvenation but not have to travel too far, Pioneertown is the definitely the right place to be. The customer service was excellent overall. We plan on returning back again to stay at another homestead property soon.

Hi Showshan, We sincerely appreciate your understanding regarding the WiFi issue and the presence of desert ants. As you rightly mentioned, the desert environment does have its quirks, but we are committed to ensuring that such inconveniences do not disrupt your experience. Your patience and flexibility in allowing us to move you to another nearby property are greatly appreciated. We take these issues seriously and will work diligently to address and resolve them to ensure a smoother experience for future guests.

We only have good things to say about this place. The location of the house makes for a peaceful stay and the ability to disconnect and recharge. The surroundings are incredible and being able to stargaze from a hot tub was such a treat. The beds were super comfortable and the house was well equipped with everything we needed whilst staying there. The host was extremely responsive and super helpful when we had a last minute change of plans. We loved the location and design of the house. We really hope we can return soon!

The home was absolutely gorgeous both inside and out ! Felt as if it was built by a truly talented artist. Everything inside the home was super clean and organized. The home had everything we needed and than some , They literally thought of everything ! The surrounding nature of the home made us feel like we were inside a painting of the desert. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come again. Highly recommended!

if you're looking for an amazing place to rest and reset, then look no further. The house, the surroundings, and everything about our stay was exactly what we were looking for. Very responsive host, very clean, lots of amenities, beautiful setting. If there had to be a negative, the only one would be slightly low water pressure in the showers but did not take away from this place being 5/5 stars. My wife and I will be back!

Mollie & Homestead Modern Homes were amazing. They were fantastic hosts, and super responsive and kind. The home was an amazing slice of paradise. It's super modern and right in the middle of beautiful, natural surroundings. We had all the amenities we needed! My spouse and I were able to get away from our busy lives and just relax. I highly recommend Homestead Modern Homes!!

We had a peaceful few days at this property with our toddler. The home is well appointed and has such amazing views/amenities. The sand road on the way in was so much fun and set on a beautiful landscape. The house was exactly how we imagined based on the listing, no surprises. While the space wasn’t 100% toddler friendly (hard surfaces and corners) we made it work. Cell and WiFi were a little spotty but that’s the point of this place…to unwind! Wish we could have stayed longer.

- Review Date: 6/24/2023

Hi-Desert Fade was absolutely perfect! From the secluded oasis, desert views, and attention to detail throughout the property, they did not skip a beat when designing this architecturally stunning home. I've stayed in several Airbnb's and nothing compares to the superior service of Homestead Modern. From the electric blinds, well-stocked pantry, abundance of cooking utensils, cozy beds, multiple private patios, floor-to-ceiling window views, welcome gift, dog-friendly bed, and bedding, ample outdoor seating, and lounging, private hiking trails in your backyard, outdoor amenities, great air conditioning, and rolling carts to carry your luggage inside they have thought of everything. I cannot say enough great things about this property and the outstanding service other than book extra nights because you will not want to leave this cozy haven. Thank you for the lovely stay, Homestead Modern. :)

Absolutely amazing place. The views of the rocks and landscape are wonderful. So quiet!! Everything was extremely clean and the beds are comfy! Stay here!!
- Review Date: 6/10/2023

The place and area was absolutely gorgeous. Had to wait a few minutes till the cleaning crew left but they left it immaculate and spotless. I brought my dog and they even left a little bed and a couple bowls for him! All the ameneities worked and looked like the pictures. The kitchen was stocked full with everything you need to cook an awesome meal. I’d say the only downside was the small pool was drained and was littered with dead bugs at the bottom so we didn’t care to fill it up. Anyways this is a perfect getaway if you’re looking for some peace and quiet. 10/10 would recommend.

We stayed for a week and the location was exactly what we were looking for: quiet, remote, beautiful. The house is designed and stocked with great attention to detail. The kitchen has everything, which I am always grateful for. The house is modern and beautiful; the outdoor eating and bbq area are lovely, with lights and heaters. I would have stayed another week if I could’ve. Exactly the kind of place to go if you’re looking for a luxurious getaway that is (almost) off the grid and away from the hustle and bustle.

Amazing location to get away and unwind. If you’re looking for solitude and to feel like you’re staying inside the park itself this is the spot. It is a decent drive to town or the park itself but we didn’t mind at all. Perfectly managed as well and stocked with everything you need. Hot tub was amazing, grill worked perfectly, bocce ball was surprisingly fun and relaxing, and we even used the cowboy tub to do cold plunges. Couldn’t recommend more.

This place was absolutely SURREAL. In the middle of Joshua Tree, with joshua trees and rocks completely surrounding you. The house is incredibly modern with floor to ceiling windows, a fantastic hot tub and fire pit. Everything you could imagine in Joshua Tree and built just like the pictures. Highly recommend!
- Review Date: 1/19/2023

Really gorgeous location, well appointed, and private. We had some issues checking in which were a bit annoying (the electric lock didn’t work, there’s no cell service, and we couldn’t communicate via wifi from inside the house). Additionally, one of the toilets was leaking and it took them three days to send someone to fix it, but they did. Would stay with them again because the house and surroundings were beautiful, but know that the little nuisances add up (like few towels and no hand towels, etc). We did let them know that there were no hand towels, but they didn’t send any new ones.
- Review Date: 1/15/2023

Glad this guest loved the property! Water conservation is very important in our region, so we supply our guests with 4 full sets plus additional pool towels, and just ask that if a guest desires more they let us know. We sent someone three times to assist with additional towels & the toilet but the first two times our team was not let into the house to assist by the guest. It was a bit strange for us, but glad we could get it fixed on our third visit and know we will always keep trying!

This is BY FAR the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. The pictures don't do it justice. It is even better in person! We have never seen such beauty. Every view is breathtaking. I couldn't stop taking pictures. You can watch the sunrise from the bed in the mornings and boulder on the other side. Hiking right out your front or backdoor. They have truly thought of every amenity! So much cookware, bar supplies, cheeseboards, spices, coffee etc. The host was super communicative! Easy to get to when you follow their exact instructions. This place is absolutely perfect in every way. We will 100% be returning. Thank you Homestead Modern for making our trip memorable. Booking again today!

Beautiful private setting, lovely house, the best amenities I have found on airbnb. Loved the house, hot tub, the firepit, decorations, even the dishes! The house was perfect. The stars were amazing!

Overall, my husband and I had a lovely stay at the High Desert Fade home. The location was amazing (BLM lands all around!) with abundant opportunities for outdoor activities. The home's architecture and interior design were beautiful and peaceful. We also appreciated the mini apple cranberry pie and delicious coffee. There were one or two things we would change about our stay to improve the quality. First, it would be nice if the Homestead Modern team would clean the hot tub after each usage, as we noticed debris in it. Second, the water pressure was very low, which made showering more of a nuisance and less of a pleasurable experience. We could come back to stay at High Desert Fade once these issues are addressed!
- Review Date: 11/28/2022

We are so glad you had a great stay and enjoyed the treats! We service the hot tub twice a week and provide all guests with the service dates, and allow them to adjust if needed. We serviced your hot tub on the second date of your stay but weren’t aware of your desire to have it serviced prior, we apologize. The pressure issue has been addressed and thanks for the feedback so we could make it better for future visits from other guests and hopefully you as well!

My 5 year old son and I had a lovely stay. The property was breathtaking. Once we were settled there was no need to go anywhere. We explored and climbed rocks right from the property. We enjoyed the hot tub, hammocks, bocce ball and board games. The home was very clean and the host was responsive. The kitchen was well stocked. The only issue we had was the hot water pressure was very low. So low that we really couldn’t shower without standing up against the wall and washing shampoo out of my hair was a challenge. Needless to say at this price point that was frustrating. I reached out the host and they apologized stating there was a power outage the week before and that may have affected it but they didn’t send anyone to look at it; although not sure what have could have been done that wasn’t disruptive to our peace. Hopefully it’s been fixed for future guests. Regardless of the water pressure issue we would absolutely stay here again! My only tip is to make sure you don’t forget any ingredients for meals. There is no delivery and it’s a a bit of a drive to the store if you need anything. Also if you think you might need extra towels for showers I suggest asking in advance as there is only 1 towel provided per guest. Heads up, the parking is a short walk to the front door. The hosts provide a wagon for your belongings but it was a surprise to me. It may have been listed in the description and I just missed it. We will be back!

Spent the day exploring the backyard and driving down the road to Red Dog Saloon for afternoon tacos. Both morning and evenings were spent watching sunrise/sunset. We look forward to visiting this home again soon, as many memories were made…Thank you Homestead Modern for sharing this hidden gem near Pioneertown 🤠

This was such an awesome place beyond any words I could say or write. The owners thought of every thing in terms of amenities and comfort. The quality of everything in the house inside and out is top notch. The property is a private, magical canyon full of beautiful boulders and desert flora. We loved the architecture, furniture, indoor/outdoor feel (with all the windows) and peace and quiet. The special touches for guests were everywhere in the house...for example the hot tub was ready to use! We are looking forward to coming back to this beautiful property!

The home is great. We loved the area it sits in. You are surrounded by these giant rocks all around you. The cowboy tub and jacuzzi were perfect to spend some time in. The hammocks are great to lay on at night and watch the stars. The house has floor-to-ceiling windows with automatic shades. The views are stunning. It is a beautiful desert! Make sure you get all the house rules and instructions before arriving. Cell service is minimal, but you will have wifi available. Communication was great, they answered all my questions.

The location is epic, and you feel like you're in the National Park. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are incredibly comfortable. I second the other reviews about the house's privacy. From the pictures, it's hard to tell that the house is exposed and can be seen from the road, especially at night with lights on. The hottub/pool area is also visible. However, we were there on a holiday weekend and only a few cars drove by. Overall, it felt private and remote.

We booked this for Christmas and it was perfect from start to finish. The host was very responsive and gave perfect instructions to get to the home. It is very secluded and peaceful. The kitchen was amazing and has everything you could possibly need to cook any meal. The bedrooms were so comfortable with high end sheets, which is such a plus when you rent an Airbnb. I would love to return someday and explore more of the beautiful Joshua tree area.

This was my second stay in two years. This time I stayed for two nights. My friend, visiting from Tokyo, was blown away by the surroundings and the home interior. And the kitchen is quite nice, we cooked and enjoyed the nature. It is a special location that I comeback again and again when important friends visit me in Los Angeles. Highly recommended.

If you are looking for a great peaceful place to stay this is the place to be. The property was so beautiful inside and out. We enjoyed how peaceful it was during the day & how dark it got at night . The kitchen was full of things to use . I love making drinks and there was a bar cart with everything that I needed . The beds were super comfortable and all rooms had a great view of the outdoors . We will definitely be staying again next time we will bring our family. Be sure to use the cow boy pool & jacuzzi we didn’t get to use it because we loved being inside and just relaxing

We LOVED this house. It was an epic home base for a few short day trips to Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. The views are so beautiful and the quiet is pretty amazing. The house is full of amenities and super clean. We saw a fair amount of ants but we were expecting that based on the thorough description. They weren’t a problem but I would recommend keeping all food in the fridge to not attract them. It was 10/10 experience- highly recommend.

Review Date: 7/22/2024

This place was a home away from home and extremely gorgeous, the decor was warm and welcoming. The location quiet and secluded enough to feel like your alone in the beautiful starry mountains. It was close by many stores and restaurants, the owners placed a binder at the entrance that was full of recommendations on different places to go nearby. Mostly we loved how CLEAN it was. The hot tub and cowboy pool we enjoyed the most! Oh and did I mention Joshua Tree is lol 15-20 min away from this place!! We didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit but loved that it was electric and in a great spot, will definitely coming back soon!!

Absolutely beautiful and unique location. This house is great for an escape from regular life. The kitchen was one of the most well equipped of any rental I’ve ever been to. There are many excellent restaurants nearby but we were just as happy to stay in and cook. There is a lot to love about this house but we especially enjoyed the cowboy and hot tubs in the evenings. If you want to enjoy all the comforts of modern life in the middle of the desert look no further.

Wow, what a beautiful, tranquil and amazing house in an incredible location. We absolutely loved our time here and it has to be the best equipped house we have ever stayed in. We only wish our trip was longer, but we will be back!

This property is so beautiful and peaceful. We didn’t want to leave. Homestead Modern has thought of everything and the whole experience is first rate. We’d love to return someday.

Beautiful Airbnb in a beautiful area! Very peaceful - feels secluded. Kitchen amazingly well stocked. Checkin easy and communication with the host prompt and helpful! Would definitely stay here again when I return back to the area!

Our two-night stay at Hi-Desert Fade was truly remarkable. Tucked away yet conveniently close to amenities, the property offered serene seclusion. The living spaces, sleeping quarters, and bathrooms were immaculate and clutter-free, providing a welcoming retreat. The well-stocked kitchen made cooking effortless. However, the highlight was undoubtedly stargazing from the hot tub, a mesmerizing experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Hi-Desert Fade for a tranquil desert getaway.

This place is awesome. The house was super clean, with comfortable beds and linens. The kitchen was amazing with quality appliances and utensils, that made cooking a joy rather than a task. Being so far away from stores and restaurants it was nice to have such a fully functioning kitchen/barbeque area. The setting is beautiful with large rock outcroppings on both sides of the house. The floor to ceiling windows enhanced the views and framed the natural environment nicely. We really enjoyed our stay. The satellite internet worked well, while we were there, but there was zero Verizon cell coverage, which I enjoyed, but maybe difficult for people who need to be totally connected to the outside world.

This was my favorite Airbnb I have EVER stayed in. Countless amenities, beautiful details and such an inspiring space. But what stood out to us the most was the LOCATION, nestled between epic rock formations • priceless views from every direction. It’s secluded, peaceful and truly otherworldly. Could not recommend this space enough. Book it!

We loved our stay here so much. Before we left we were already planning our next visit. The hosts are so thoughtful and have stocked the house with so many essentials. Their kitchen supplies are the most impressive I’ve ever seen. The host was responsive and helpful when we couldn’t figure out how to get the heater working when we first got there (it was working in no time). You will not regret choosing this as a place to stay especially if you plan to cook, bake, BBQ etc.. We can’t wait to visit again!

The perfect secluded sanctuary. Being from LA this was an ideal escape. Tranquil, quiet and very private. The surrounding environment was better than some of the national parks in that area in its remarkable beauty. Pics don’t do it justice. The home itself had everything you could possibly need to hunker down. As an avid cook I was thrilled with how equipped the kitchen was. I wrote down names of plates and tools so I can later buy the goods - it was that well curated. Thank you so much for this unforgettable trip. Bookmarking this Airbnb for sure and I’ve never said that about any Airbnb which is WILD.

A Chic Retreat for Cooking Enthusiasts! Great stay in a very stylish place. Location nestled in among the rocks felt very private, and the modern space was gorgeous. Never got tired of looking out of the giant windows at the fantastic landscape. Best of all -- EXTREMELY WELL APPOINTED KITCHEN. We love to cook, but on vacation it can be hard making do with the basics. Not the case here! This kitchen has everything, from cast iron, to meat thermometers, to cook's knives, to all sorts of mixing/measuring/serving dishes and utensils. Truly, we wanted for nothing, no making do. Overall, delightful and restful stay. Thanks!

We just returned from our second stay at HI Desert Fade & will be booking again for next year. This is our most favorite airbnb. The communication is within minutes if you have questions & is very easy to find when you follow their directions. So much to say about this space & I know I may not do it justice. While the pictures are perfect, you have to see it to believe it. The home is so well done & the surroundings are breathtaking. The views never get old. The kitchen is THE MOST well stocked kitchen you've ever seen. They truly have thought of everything! Appliances are top notch & literally have everything you could possibly need. The home is beyond clean & beautifully decorated!! We discovered so many more fun places to eat & drink this stay. There is a book with their suggestions- Pappy & Harriets, Red Dog Saloon, La Copine(OMG delicious!!! We had a reservation) & The Copper Room are all about a 20 minute drive. Thank you AGAIN! Cannot wait to return in 2024!

Easily one of my favorite places I’ve stayed. The surroundings were stunning and it felt private, peaceful, and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances, dishes, and everything we needed for cooking - loved the cocktail cart as well. We also loved that it was dog friendly.

Review Date: 10/11/2023

This house is amazing! Finding it can be a little intimidating at first, but it is so worth the stay. We had some issues out of the control of the host such as the Wi-Fi and dishwasher being out of service due to a recent storm. The host was awesome and communicative about these issues before we arrived and even offered us other housing options which we greatly appreciated. We chose to stick with this house and we’re so happy we did. It is a magical place to stay and we were happy to unplug for a few days.

The Homestead Modern property, Hi-Desert Fade, was absolutely stunning . So peaceful, quiet and isolated. We had an issue with the WiFi not working at the property and some ants (which can be expected in the desert). But, they were quick to find a resolution for us and moved us to another Homestead Modern property nearby, which was just as lovely and peaceful. The homes are beautifully decorated in modern simple decor that creates an overall peaceful feeling in the home. There is a fully stocked kitchen, which we loved! I have never seen such a well stocked kitchen at an air bnb. The views from the hot tub are just spectacular during the day and evening. If you feel like you need to get away from the chaos of the city for some peace and rejuvenation but not have to travel too far, Pioneertown is the definitely the right place to be. The customer service was excellent overall. We plan on returning back again to stay at another homestead property soon.

We only have good things to say about this place. The location of the house makes for a peaceful stay and the ability to disconnect and recharge. The surroundings are incredible and being able to stargaze from a hot tub was such a treat. The beds were super comfortable and the house was well equipped with everything we needed whilst staying there. The host was extremely responsive and super helpful when we had a last minute change of plans. We loved the location and design of the house. We really hope we can return soon!

A fantastic stay, the place is truly magical and felt like something out of a movie! Endless amenities and spectacular 360 degree views. It will be hard to beat on our future holidays/travels.

Review Date: 8/22/2023

The home was absolutely gorgeous both inside and out ! Felt as if it was built by a truly talented artist. Everything inside the home was super clean and organized. The home had everything we needed and than some , They literally thought of everything ! The surrounding nature of the home made us feel like we were inside a painting of the desert. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come again. Highly recommended!

Review Date: 8/18/2023

if you're looking for an amazing place to rest and reset, then look no further. The house, the surroundings, and everything about our stay was exactly what we were looking for. Very responsive host, very clean, lots of amenities, beautiful setting. If there had to be a negative, the only one would be slightly low water pressure in the showers but did not take away from this place being 5/5 stars. My wife and I will be back!

Review Date: 8/6/2023

Mollie & Homestead Modern Homes were amazing. They were fantastic hosts, and super responsive and kind. The home was an amazing slice of paradise. It's super modern and right in the middle of beautiful, natural surroundings. We had all the amenities we needed! My spouse and I were able to get away from our busy lives and just relax. I highly recommend Homestead Modern Homes!!

Review Date: 7/26/2023

We had a peaceful few days at this property with our toddler. The home is well appointed and has such amazing views/amenities. The sand road on the way in was so much fun and set on a beautiful landscape. The house was exactly how we imagined based on the listing, no surprises. While the space wasn’t 100% toddler friendly (hard surfaces and corners) we made it work. Cell and WiFi were a little spotty but that’s the point of this place…to unwind! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Review Date: 7/12/2023

Hi-Desert Fade was absolutely perfect! From the secluded oasis, desert views, and attention to detail throughout the property, they did not skip a beat when designing this architecturally stunning home. I've stayed in several Airbnb's and nothing compares to the superior service of Homestead Modern. From the electric blinds, well-stocked pantry, abundance of cooking utensils, cozy beds, multiple private patios, floor-to-ceiling window views, welcome gift, dog-friendly bed, and bedding, ample outdoor seating, and lounging, private hiking trails in your backyard, outdoor amenities, great air conditioning, and rolling carts to carry your luggage inside they have thought of everything. I cannot say enough great things about this property and the outstanding service other than book extra nights because you will not want to leave this cozy haven. Thank you for the lovely stay, Homestead Modern. :)

Review Date: 6/19/2023

The place and area was absolutely gorgeous. Had to wait a few minutes till the cleaning crew left but they left it immaculate and spotless. I brought my dog and they even left a little bed and a couple bowls for him! All the ameneities worked and looked like the pictures. The kitchen was stocked full with everything you need to cook an awesome meal. I’d say the only downside was the small pool was drained and was littered with dead bugs at the bottom so we didn’t care to fill it up. Anyways this is a perfect getaway if you’re looking for some peace and quiet. 10/10 would recommend.

Great place surrounded by the beauty of the high desert. Modern well appointed clean home. Very peaceful and comfortable. We had a wonderful time and are excited to come back one day.

What a fantastic stay! This is an incredible home - great design, great quality and a perfect getaway. The location is fantastic and the surroundings are beautiful. Just bring provisions, check in and relax. So peaceful. Super responsive host! Thank you Homestead Modern!

Amazing experience and incredible host. If you need to disconnect from the daily grind, get away from it all and relax, then this is for you. We will be coming back for sure!

Review Date: 3/18/2023

We stayed for a week and the location was exactly what we were looking for: quiet, remote, beautiful. The house is designed and stocked with great attention to detail. The kitchen has everything, which I am always grateful for. The house is modern and beautiful; the outdoor eating and bbq area are lovely, with lights and heaters. I would have stayed another week if I could’ve. Exactly the kind of place to go if you’re looking for a luxurious getaway that is (almost) off the grid and away from the hustle and bustle.

Review Date: 2/13/2023

The house and surrounding location were both breathtaking. The house has everything you could possibly need; modern, clean, spacious, great wifi, amazing kitchen and cooking utensils, and awesome views from all around the house. Truly an incredible experience, we'll go back for sure!

Review Date: 2/6/2023

Amazing location to get away and unwind. If you’re looking for solitude and to feel like you’re staying inside the park itself this is the spot. It is a decent drive to town or the park itself but we didn’t mind at all. Perfectly managed as well and stocked with everything you need. Hot tub was amazing, grill worked perfectly, bocce ball was surprisingly fun and relaxing, and we even used the cowboy tub to do cold plunges. Couldn’t recommend more.

Review Date: 2/3/2023

This place was absolutely SURREAL. In the middle of Joshua Tree, with joshua trees and rocks completely surrounding you. The house is incredibly modern with floor to ceiling windows, a fantastic hot tub and fire pit. Everything you could imagine in Joshua Tree and built just like the pictures. Highly recommend!

Review Date: 1/19/2023

Really gorgeous location, well appointed, and private. We had some issues checking in which were a bit annoying (the electric lock didn’t work, there’s no cell service, and we couldn’t communicate via wifi from inside the house). Additionally, one of the toilets was leaking and it took them three days to send someone to fix it, but they did. Would stay with them again because the house and surroundings were beautiful, but know that the little nuisances add up (like few towels and no hand towels, etc). We did let them know that there were no hand towels, but they didn’t send any new ones.

Review Date: 1/15/2023

This is BY FAR the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. The pictures don't do it justice. It is even better in person! We have never seen such beauty. Every view is breathtaking. I couldn't stop taking pictures. You can watch the sunrise from the bed in the mornings and boulder on the other side. Hiking right out your front or backdoor. They have truly thought of every amenity! So much cookware, bar supplies, cheeseboards, spices, coffee etc. The host was super communicative! Easy to get to when you follow their exact instructions. This place is absolutely perfect in every way. We will 100% be returning. Thank you Homestead Modern for making our trip memorable. Booking again today!

We had an amazing stay and were very impressed with the quality of all the finishes and supplies. The owners clearly had great attention to detail and made it easy to make the most of your stay. Highly recommended!

Beautiful private setting, lovely house, the best amenities I have found on airbnb. Loved the house, hot tub, the firepit, decorations, even the dishes! The house was perfect. The stars were amazing! Our pup was welcomed with a dog bed, poop bags and dishes. It was really a wonderful stay- I would love to return someday. Homestead Modern is absolutely the best. Nicest stay we have ever had!

Review Date: 12/2/2022

Overall, my husband and I had a lovely stay at the High Desert Fade home. The location was amazing (BLM lands all around!) with abundant opportunities for outdoor activities. The home's architecture and interior design were beautiful and peaceful. We also appreciated the mini apple cranberry pie and delicious coffee. There were one or two things we would change about our stay to improve the quality. First, it would be nice if the Homestead Modern team would clean the hot tub after each usage, as we noticed debris in it. Second, the water pressure was very low, which made showering more of a nuisance and less of a pleasurable experience. We could come back to stay at High Desert Fade once these issues are addressed!

Review Date: 11/28/2022

My 5 year old son and I had a lovely stay. The property was breathtaking. Once we were settled there was no need to go anywhere. We explored and climbed rocks right from the property. We enjoyed the hot tub, hammocks, bocce ball and board games. The home was very clean and the host was responsive. The kitchen was well stocked. The only issue we had was the hot water pressure was very low. So low that we really couldn’t shower without standing up against the wall and washing shampoo out of my hair was a challenge. Needless to say at this price point that was frustrating. I reached out the host and they apologized stating there was a power outage the week before and that may have affected it but they didn’t send anyone to look at it; although not sure what have could have been done that wasn’t disruptive to our peace. Hopefully it’s been fixed for future guests. Regardless of the water pressure issue we would absolutely stay here again! My only tip is to make sure you don’t forget any ingredients for meals. There is no delivery and it’s a a bit of a drive to the store if you need anything. Also if you think you might need extra towels for showers I suggest asking in advance as there is only 1 towel provided per guest. Heads up, the parking is a short walk to the front door. The hosts provide a wagon for your belongings but it was a surprise to me. It may have been listed in the description and I just missed it. We will be back!

Wow 🤩 words cannot describe how phenomenal this home is. It was an awesome reset for both my partner and I and we felt right at home. Spent the day exploring the backyard and driving down the road to Red Dog Saloon for afternoon tacos. Both morning and evenings were spent watching sunrise/sunset. We look forward to visiting this home again soon, as many memories were made…Thank you Homestead Modern for sharing this hidden gem near Pioneertown 🤠

Review Date: 11/8/2022

This was such an awesome place beyond any words I could say or write. The owners thought of every thing in terms of amenities and comfort. The quality of everything in the house inside and out is top notch. The property is a private, magical canyon full of beautiful boulders and desert flora. We loved the architecture, furniture, indoor/outdoor feel (with all the windows) and peace and quiet. The special touches for guests were everywhere in the house...for example the hot tub was ready to use! We are looking forward to coming back to this beautiful property!

Beautiful, contemporary home nestled in the rocks. Top of the line outdoor kitchen, most comfortable bed & luxurious linens. Thoughtful touches everywhere. We enjoyed our stay & I would definitely come again.

This Airbnb is AMAZING! The views, the house, the location are all worth it. The host was great at communicating the check in and check out process. The family had an amazing time! Perfect place to get away from the city.

My boyfriend and I had the best time here! The location is perfect, totally secluded with beautiful scenic views. The house is absolutely incredible - so modern and very cozy! The beds are so comfortable, hadn’t slept that well in a while. The hosts were so helpful and answered any questions we had in under an hour. We booked our next stay while we were at the house, literally fell in love with it. We can’t wait to come back again! Highly recommend!!

Review Date: 8/29/2022

The home is great. We loved the area it sits in. You are surrounded by these giant rocks all around you. The cowboy tub and jacuzzi were perfect to spend some time in. The hammocks are great to lay on at night and watch the stars. The house has floor-to-ceiling windows with automatic shades. The views are stunning. It is a beautiful desert! Make sure you get all the house rules and instructions before arriving. Cell service is minimal, but you will have wifi available. Communication was great, they answered all my questions. I will be coming back for sure.

Review Date: 8/15/2022

Amazing getaway for the weekend. Surroundings and view are breathtaking. This place comes fully stocked with great gear, kitchen appliances and high quality drink/cookware. BBQ and outdoor area are well thought out an functional. Cowboy pool is a must try. Bocce ball court was super fun too. Will come back soon.

Review Date: 8/3/2022

This is an outstanding property surrounded by truly spectacular scenery. The light at sunrise and sunset against the backdrop of boulders and Joshua Trees is breathtaking. We can’t wait to return!

Review Date: 7/25/2022

Amazing accomodation with a lot of space and very well equipped, especially the kitchen, but we also enjoyed the barbeque, the cowboy tub and the hammocks around the house. The communication with the host was also great, they quickly replied when we had troubles with the water supply and they even gave us a refund.

Review Date: 7/10/2022

The location is epic, and you feel like you're in the National Park. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are incredibly comfortable. I second the other reviews about the house's privacy. From the pictures, it's hard to tell that the house is exposed and can be seen from the road, especially at night with lights on. The hottub/pool area is also visible. However, we were there on a holiday weekend and only a few cars drove by. Overall, it felt private and remote.

Review Date: 7/5/2022

Everything was seriously perfect. This home has everything you need and more. I stayed with my boyfriend and another couple, perfect size for a party of 4 - spa, pool, full kitchen. Hosts are so attentive and want you to have the most comfortable stay. You are surrounded by the most beautiful scenery and boulders - there are full length windows in every spot of the house. Just amazing. :) It was so remote and peaceful, the home is truly secluded. Just you and the views. The pictures show it all, but it’s even more beautiful in person. Thank you for our stay!
