Parking is available for four vehicles and an EV charger is available. Hightail Home is equipped with high speed 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 Hightail House. 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.

Gorgeous view and amazing house.
- Review Date: 8/25/2024

Loved my stay here! Such a beautiful property. Can’t wait to come back!
- Review Date: 8/20/2024

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.
- Review Date: 8/10/2024

We really enjoyed the beautiful scenery and remote privacy. I would highly recommend and definitely stay here again
- Review Date: 8/4/2024

Clean modern architecture. The pool is fantastic. The water was clean and mildly chlorinated. The bed was comfortable. Kitchen is sufficiently stocked. Overall great experience.
- Review Date: 7/29/2024

Perfect desert getaway - the kind of Airbnb you dream about.
- Review Date: 7/25/2024

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!!!

Stargazing at night was a core memory to last
- Review Date: 7/14/2024

Staying here was surreal. Being in such a gorgeous home overlooking deep into the wilderness. No TV was needed in the living room. The glass doors facing the outside were more than enough to captivate.
- Review Date: 7/11/2024

Great place for privacy. Pool and exterior space were great! Family enjoyed the space. Completely fenced off and privacy panels so you can’t see neighbors and they can’t see you. Great views.
- Review Date: 7/5/2024

We loved our stay with Homestead Modern! The home was beautifully decorated and brought the desert inside. The view and area is peaceful making it an ideal place to relax in the pool and by the fire pit. The house had everything you could think of needing or waning - even yoga mats.
- Review Date: 7/2/2024

All I can say is this place is absolutely magical, even in the oppressive heat of summer. I hope we’re able to come back again someday when the weather is cooler to truly enjoy the beauty of the surroundings even more.
- Review Date: 6/28/2024

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!
- Review Date: 6/28/2024

Beautiful home! Great energy and the thought put into the stay was very appreciated. We will definitely be back!
- Review Date: 6/25/2024

This was another 5 Star Retreat at one of Homestead Modern’s Properties! Truly another memorable experience. I can’t say enough about this companies properties & I feel like the luckiest person alive to have found them! Their attention to every detail during your stay is above & beyond! A must stay!
- Review Date: 6/17/2024

We stayed at Hightail House and it was amazing! Beautiful property, private location, yet close to town. The views were spectacular. We will definitely return for a future stay.
- Review Date: 6/3/2024

Amazing place to stay! Everything was perfect - it is beyond obvious how much thought went into the house. Has everything you need, super comfortable beds and bedding, clean & spacious bathrooms - and all the tools in the kitchen you may need (and a wonderful grill!). A/Cs are awesome - especially in bedrooms.
- Review Date: 6/2/2024

Absolutely beautiful! Clean, spacious, and perfect for a quick getaway. We hope to come back some day! Probably my favorite bnb so far.

We had a great experience at this home! There were plenty of amenities and there were clear instructions to make sure everything was easily usable. Management was quick and responsive.

The home is peaceful and the view overlooking the town instantly puts you as ease. The host is proactive and always communicated thoroughly. My family and I appreciated all the amenities (pool, fire pit etc) and we look forward to coming back.

This location is IT. Somehow, this lot sits above the neighboring homes so it feels very private and offers unparalleled views from the whole backyard - you can see the whole valley floor and mountains for days. Absolutely gorgeous sunrise/sunsets. The pool/hot tub is the icing on the cake. We can’t wait to come back!

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!

Beautiful, roommate style home. AC unit in each room was wonderful. Everyone got to pick their cool. The pool/cuzzi in the front yard was magical. The views, amazing. The house was super clean, which I LOVE. Wall around, great vibes.
- Review Date: 7/9/2023

Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay here. It was peaceful and secluded but not to far from town. It’s up on a hill so it catches the breeze when it’s hot. The house itself was immaculate. It was an amazing space to relax. We spent most our times outside in the pool or sitting out an in awe of the mountains and stars. The wifi is great if you do plan on taking any meetings. The beds and bedding were so comfortable. It was breathtaking to wake up to sunrise. The kitchen was stocked and we made coffees and teas every morning! We are already planning another trip to come back to his house! Truly amazing experience. Thank you!!

I have only had tears in my eyes, leaving a review TWICE in my life on Airb&B, this being the second. We could not have asked for a better experience for our 10-year wedding anniversary. The homestead was even more spectacular in person than in the photos, and I truly mean that. From the sweet welcome postcard and wine bottle for our anniversary to the well thought out bedroom designs, everything was thought of. Hightail House had everything we needed to cook homemade meals. The AC worked wonderfully, which matters in Joshua Tree! The pool and hot tub, wow!!! I can not tell you how much we enjoyed it. We swam every day, we sat by the fire pit, showered in the outdoor shower, and on our last night we fell asleep on the loungechairs with blankets under the stars. INCREDIBLE experience! Do not hesitate to book your stay here. They even had a ton of sunhats to wear out in the pool! I could go on and I'm probably forgetting things. We love you, Hightail House!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

This was the second time we stayed. Since the first time we stayed 2 years ago, we always wanted to come back, finally we were able to take our daughter and mother there. They loved the place and had really good time. Clean, functional and has everything you need. The communication is super smooth. This is still our first choice when we come back to the desert.
- Review Date: 6/15/2023

Really wonderful stay. Beautiful scenery and wild life with great modern amenities. The drive in is very easy but has a brief dirt road at the tail end but even our low rear wheel drive car had no problems just go slow. Can’t wait to return! Truly magical place to stay.

Highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating retreat in Joshua Tree.
- Review Date: 6/9/2023

This is a very clean place. It’s down a dirt road and the pool is much smaller than it appeared in the pictures but it’s isolated and quiet and that’s probably what you are looking for if you are going to Joshua Tree.

Beautiful spot for a relaxing weekend. Highly recommend. Only downside was the limited water pressure!

Stayed at the Homestead for a last minute weekend trip from LA with my Gf. The location was beautiful and the home was very clean and exactly as expected. Having the pool was a game changer for the hot weather we experienced. Overall would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to get out of the city for a long weekend! We'll definitely be back

We had a wonderful time at the Hightail House.

The place was immaculate, it honestly regained my confidence in Airbnb. It was spotless, beautifully designed, and they were responsive to every question/message we had for them. I highly recommend staying here, as it's close to Joshua Tree and the downtown area with shops/restaurants but still private. I would stay here again for sure.

Homestead Modern was absolutely stunning. The pool was amazing and the EV charger was so clutch. Overall 10/10
- Review Date: 7/21/2022

This place is breathtaking. Inside & out. Such a beautiful home with everything you can possibly need. The pool was perfect for daytime swimming & the spa feels amazing and best for stargazing. The hosts were truly incredible throughout our stay. Very communicative and accommodating. I loved that I was able to bring my little Pomeranian too. Such a plus! My only recommendation for future guests is to follow the directions the hosts provides you. GPS might want to take you out of the house through a different way, and unless you have an AWD, definitely don’t recommend as we got u in the sand in my Lexus. Come in and back out the same way. I know you’ll love this place! Don’t think twice, just book it! We will definitely be back! Thank you HighTale House!!

This house was lovely. A perfect layout for 2 couples but it was just myself and my husband and that was nice too. The pool was like bath water which I love. The house was extremely clean. The main thing that stood out to me was just how stunningly quiet the house was. I am usually glued to my phone and I sat outside and just stared at the view for hours. The stars at night are so good. I had a question about the fireplace and they were quick to respond and answered my question perfectly. The appliances are extremely bad ass as well. No complaints. It was a lovely stay.

- Review Date: 7/3/2022

First time in Joshua Tree and our stay was excellent. Definitely a great place for couples or small families. It was also my first time staying in such a secluded place with surroundings half way open. I was probably just paranoid without enclosed walls but the stay was safe. Beautiful property. Note: Drove a stiffer suspension car and was probably a bad idea because some of the road leading up to the house the area is unpaved and quite uneven. Just keep that in mind.

- Review Date: 5/22/2022

Nach der Buchung haben wir ein Mail mit allen notwendigen Angaben erhalten, es war gut verständlich und hat alle notwendigen Informationen enthalten. Die letzten 500 Meter der Strasse zum Haus sind nicht asphaltiert aber mit einem ‚normalen‘ Fahrzeug ist es sehr gut zu bewältigen. Das Check-In verläuft mittels erhaltenem Code und vor Ort trifft man niemanden an. Es war sehr einfach und unkompliziert. Das Haus ist sehr ruhig gelegen, hat eine schöne Aussicht über Joshua Tree und für die Nachbarn ist es fast nicht einsehbar. Es ist sehr modern, mit Klimaanlage und allen Küchengeräten, die man benötigt. Es hat eine grosse Küche mit offenem Wohnbereich und zwei schöne Schlafzimmer mit dazugehörigem Bad. Das Bett ist sehr bequem mit toller Bettwäsche, wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Der Aussenbereich ist ebenfalls sehr schön, der überdachte Sitzbereich ist gemütlich und Gold wert bei der heissen Sonne. Das Auto kann man direkt beim Haus abstellen und man hat es immer im Blickfeld. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermietung ist grossartig! Bei Problemen wird umgehend geantwortet und eine Lösung gesucht. Wir haben drei wunderbare Tage im Hightail House verbracht und können es nur weiterempfehlen.

Our neighbors back home have been doing construction for months on end. We really just needed a quiet weekend away with just a simple sense of peace. If this is also what you are searching for, we absolutely recommend this home! The home was spotless and everything was comfortable. We spent a great deal of time in the pool in the sunshine and then in the spa under the stars. The hosts had wonderful communication and were easy to reach. This was our first time visiting the desert and we look forward to returning.
- Review Date: 4/5/2022

Absolutely fabulous home! It’s a great stay with great views. The communication with the host was excellent! Heads up even though the home is advertised with heated pool, there is a $300 fee to have the pool heated. We paid the additional fee and unfortunately the pool was lukewarm but we made the best of it. And the road to the home is not paved so don’t bring your sports car! It was a great adventure.

The hightail house was nothing short of perfection. From the modern touches to the peacefulness the landscape brought, the whole stay was an absolute wonderful one. We love traveling and experiencing homes that appreciate the value of design, decor, and esthetic, and this home doesn’t fall short in any. We even stayed with our 2 young children, and they had a blast. We never even left the home. That’s how wonderful of a time we had. It just goes to show that if you stay in a place that has the amenities and surroundings that work for you and your family, you will be completely content. Plus the sunrises and sunsets will take your breath away! Enjoy :)

Amazing location. Close to the park and town but just far enough away and positioned in a way to feel secluded. Hosts are incredibly communicative and welcoming. We will definitely return.

This spot is even better than the photos. The sunrises and sunsets from the hot tub or under blankets in the lounge chairs was how I spent every morning! Saw so many quails in the brush and soaked up the sun! Joshua tree is so close for hiking or scenic drives and it is close enough to food and supplies while being far enough away to be private. We will be returning with friends next year with friends to share in the sunshine!

A perfect couple retreat! Had an amazing stay at this incredible home. Hosts were easy to work with which made the stay even more enjoyable.

Stunning property with beautiful design. Looks new and feels inviting with excellent design touches throughout. I enjoyed the books - there are some photo book and spiritual gems in there. The kitchen was out of the world. New appliances and utensils. BBQ was so clutch. We were so inspired by the jacuzzi and pool. We turned off all the lights outside and marveled at how friken beautiful this land is. Far enough from the business of the main street, yet close enough to get supplies easily. JT is one of my favorite spots on earth and this property does it justice. I think it's worth the price and is a delight to share with others if you are able. Real life magic! By the way, the relaxed nature of the owners was really cool to see. Usually companies that own airbnbs are a bit uptight with all the damn rules, it could make you feel crazy. But Homestead was really chill... and they got out of the way. I wouldnt hesitate to repeat our stay.

We had a really peaceful time at the home. Pool was perfect for chilling in and also perfect for my son as the first portion of it is only a few inches , so great for just lying or playing with a child . Looks beautiful peeking out of the tub and pool to see the mountains . Many comfortable furniture to lounge on . Kitchen is well stocked, loved the books they provided . The only thing I would recommend some drapes in the living room at night if felt a little exposed as the home is on a slight mountain.

We had the most wonderful stay at Hightail House; the place is spectacular, incredibly well appointed with thoughtful touches throughout. The views from all the rooms are incredible- expansive views across Joshua Tree National Park. All the appliances are modern and well designed, and the vast windows mean you can enjoy the beautiful setting even when you’re inside in the air conditioning! We enjoyed reading through the lovely art books, watching nature (especially the local Desert Hare) and playing in the pool. The hot tub is pretty special under the stars at night, and even has disco lights! Homestead Modern we’re super easy to communicate with and check-in/check-out was a breeze. We’d definitely stay here again!

Just wow. We were absolutely blown away by this house—from the insanely beautiful and functional kitchen (my wife and I take cooking very seriously) to the equally stunning two bedrooms (each with a super chic on-suite bathroom), every corner of this house is impeccably designed. The clean design carries on to the outside with an awesome pool and a cute covered patio/outdoor dining area. The fencing around half of the house is strategically placed to provide optimal privacy from neighbors while letting you enjoy uninterrupted panoramic views of Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley. It was super easy to drive to stores and the national park’s west entrance. 10/10 would recommend this house.

Our family loved everything about this spot. The pool was one of the highlights of our stay. Especially at night. The kitchen was beautiful and we made sure to use it. Make sure to plan a meal ahead of time. The view from the kitchen and the living room was so relaxing. Being so close to Joshua Tree was so convenient as well.

Had an amazing stay... the house was spotless and had all the amenities you could need. When I had a question the response was quick and helpful. Not to mention the location was quiet and beautiful... it felt secluded but was a quick drive into town. Would absolutely return!

This was a great place to relax and get away from the city. The Host was extremely accommodating and responsive. The accommodations was just as pictured and made you feel at home.

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.

Review Date: 8/10/2024

Clean modern architecture. The pool is fantastic. The water was clean and mildly chlorinated. The bed was comfortable. Kitchen is sufficiently stocked. Overall great experience.

Review Date: 7/29/2024

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!!!

Review Date: 7/25/2024

Staying here was surreal. Being in such a gorgeous home overlooking deep into the wilderness. No TV was needed in the living room. The glass doors facing the outside were more than enough to captivate.

Review Date: 7/11/2024

Great place for privacy. Pool and exterior space were great! Family enjoyed the space. Completely fenced off and privacy panels so you can’t see neighbors and they can’t see you. Great views.

Review Date: 7/5/2024

We loved our stay with Homestead Modern! The home was beautifully decorated and brought the desert inside. The view and area is peaceful making it an ideal place to relax in the pool and by the fire pit. The house had everything you could think of needing or waning - even yoga mats.

Review Date: 7/2/2024

All I can say is this place is absolutely magical, even in the oppressive heat of summer. I hope we’re able to come back again someday when the weather is cooler to truly enjoy the beauty of the surroundings even more.

Review Date: 6/28/2024

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!

Review Date: 6/28/2024

This was another 5 Star Retreat at one of Homestead Modern’s Properties! Truly another memorable experience. I can’t say enough about this companies properties & I feel like the luckiest person alive to have found them! Their attention to every detail during your stay is above & beyond! A must stay!

Review Date: 6/17/2024

We stayed at Hightail House and it was amazing! Beautiful property, private location, yet close to town. The views were spectacular. We will definitely return for a future stay.

Review Date: 6/3/2024

Amazing place to stay! Everything was perfect - it is beyond obvious how much thought went into the house. Has everything you need, super comfortable beds and bedding, clean & spacious bathrooms - and all the tools in the kitchen you may need (and a wonderful grill!). A/Cs are awesome - especially in bedrooms.

Review Date: 6/2/2024

We had a great experience at this home! There were plenty of amenities and there were clear instructions to make sure everything was easily usable. Management was quick and responsive.

Review Date: 12/26/2023

The home is peaceful and the view overlooking the town instantly puts you as ease. The host is proactive and always communicated thoroughly. My family and I appreciated all the amenities (pool, fire pit etc) and we look forward to coming back.

Review Date: 11/27/2023

This location is IT. Somehow, this lot sits above the neighboring homes so it feels very private and offers unparalleled views from the whole backyard - you can see the whole valley floor and mountains for days. Absolutely gorgeous sunrise/sunsets. The pool/hot tub is the icing on the cake. We can’t wait to come back!

Review Date: 10/28/2023

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!

Review Date: 10/4/2023

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!

Review Date: 9/27/2023

We had an amazing time. All the items worked as promised, the pool was fantastic. Cleanliness was on point. I would highly recommend this location to all. Worth every penny. Fox and the Owl.

Review Date: 8/21/2023

Hightail was a perfect place to have privacy and star gaze. the beds were super comfy and the kitchen was well stocked for making our dinners. the views were spectacular and the pool was perfect. All in all we were very happy with our stay.

Review Date: 8/14/2023

There was wonderful communication from our hosts. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The instructions were clear and all amenities were amazing. We especially loved the isolation and privacy. What an amazing few days.

Review Date: 7/15/2023

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.

Review Date: 7/15/2023

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!

Review Date: 7/11/2023

Beautiful, roommate style home. AC unit in each room was wonderful. Everyone got to pick their cool. The pool/cuzzi in the front yard was magical. The views, amazing. The house was super clean, which I LOVE. Wall around, great vibes.

Review Date: 7/9/2023

Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay here. It was peaceful and secluded but not to far from town. It’s up on a hill so it catches the breeze when it’s hot. The house itself was immaculate. It was an amazing space to relax. We spent most our times outside in the pool or sitting out an in awe of the mountains and stars. The wifi is great if you do plan on taking any meetings. The beds and bedding were so comfortable. It was breathtaking to wake up to sunrise. The kitchen was stocked and we made coffees and teas every morning! We are already planning another trip to come back to his house! Truly amazing experience. Thank you!!

Review Date: 6/30/2023

I have only had tears in my eyes, leaving a review TWICE in my life on Airb&B, this being the second. We could not have asked for a better experience for our 10-year wedding anniversary. The homestead was even more spectacular in person than in the photos, and I truly mean that. From the sweet welcome postcard and wine bottle for our anniversary to the well thought out bedroom designs, everything was thought of. Hightail House had everything we needed to cook homemade meals. The AC worked wonderfully, which matters in Joshua Tree! The pool and hot tub, wow!!! I can not tell you how much we enjoyed it. We swam every day, we sat by the fire pit, showered in the outdoor shower, and on our last night we fell asleep on the loungechairs with blankets under the stars. INCREDIBLE experience! Do not hesitate to book your stay here. They even had a ton of sunhats to wear out in the pool! I could go on and I'm probably forgetting things. We love you, Hightail House!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

Review Date: 6/30/2023

This was the second time we stayed. Since the first time we stayed 2 years ago, we always wanted to come back, finally we were able to take our daughter and mother there. They loved the place and had really good time. Clean, functional and has everything you need. The communication is super smooth. This is still our first choice when we come back to the desert.

Review Date: 6/15/2023

Really wonderful stay. Beautiful scenery and wild life with great modern amenities. The drive in is very easy but has a brief dirt road at the tail end but even our low rear wheel drive car had no problems just go slow. Can’t wait to return! Truly magical place to stay.

Review Date: 6/11/2023

This is a very clean place. It’s down a dirt road and the pool is much smaller than it appeared in the pictures but it’s isolated and quiet and that’s probably what you are looking for if you are going to Joshua Tree.

Review Date: 6/9/2023

Stayed at the Homestead for a last minute weekend trip from LA with my Gf. The location was beautiful and the home was very clean and exactly as expected. Having the pool was a game changer for the hot weather we experienced. Overall would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to get out of the city for a long weekend! We'll definitely be back

Review Date: 5/23/2023

My wife and I enjoyed every minute of our stay. Typically there is not enough, pillows, towels or kitchen supplies in the many places we have staid. This place had everything I wanted and needed. We enjoyed the surroundings, privacy and all the property had to offer. Highly recommend!

Review Date: 5/19/2023

This place is absolutely stunning! I had the most relaxing stay in thus beautiful home. I booked this reservation the day of and they were extremely fast, responsive, and very kind. The house was spotless and everything you needed was there. This trip was so memorable and I can’t wait to be back soon!

Review Date: 4/25/2023

We had an awesome stay at this home. The space is beautiful, modern, and comfortable, with incredible views of the Joshua Tree landscape. The owners were very accommodating and communicative the entire stay. I would absolutely stay here again!

Review Date: 3/6/2023

We had a wonderful time at the Hightail House. The house was cozy and modern, the hot tub was so enjoyable on particularly chilly nights, and the view was amazing, especially the sunrises and sunsets. And we loved being so close to the entrance to the park! We’d recommend to anyone visiting Joshua Tree.

Review Date: 2/26/2023

Comfortable, bright and clean home. Hot tub and heated pool made our visit to Joshua Tree in the winter enjoyable, and it was just a short drive to the park and local restaurants.

Review Date: 2/3/2023

The place was immaculate, it honestly regained my confidence in Airbnb. It was spotless, beautifully designed, and they were responsive to every question/message we had for them. I highly recommend staying here, as it's close to Joshua Tree and the downtown area with shops/restaurants but still private. I would stay here again for sure.

Review Date: 1/11/2023

Amazing, stylish house in a great location close to Joshua Tree National Park. Comfy with everything we needed. Only issue was pool and spa heater wasn’t working, otherwise perfect.

Review Date: 12/30/2022

We had a wonderful time at this house. It is simply gorgeous! And filled with top quality amenities. I recommend staying here… the views are tremendous, the pool and spa are great, and loved the indoor fireplace. We hope to come back again next year!

Review Date: 12/16/2022

Please DO NOT USE OUR NAMES on the site. We had a great time. The communication and access/instructions for the home were flawless. It was a wonderful place to return to after hiking in the National Park and we enjoyed all the amenities - pool/spa/bocce/fire pit. Sunrise and evening stars were both incredible.

Review Date: 10/18/2022

Excellent experience all around. Will definitely be trying to stay here again. House is clean, spacious, and gorgeous. Pool, hot tub, lounge areas, bocce court make for great entertaining. Views are insane. Easy access to town and the National Park. Highly recommend!

Review Date: 9/28/2022

What a beautiful home! Indoor/outdoor living at its best! The views are spectacular, the beautiful breeze, the pool and hot tub perfection and the interior decor and amenities second to none! Thank you Homestead!

Review Date: 7/24/2022

This place is breathtaking. Inside & out. Such a beautiful home with everything you can possibly need. The pool was perfect for daytime swimming & the spa feels amazing and best for stargazing. The hosts were truly incredible throughout our stay. Very communicative and accommodating. I loved that I was able to bring my little Pomeranian too. Such a plus! My only recommendation for future guests is to follow the directions the hosts provides you. GPS might want to take you out of the house through a different way, and unless you have an AWD, definitely don’t recommend as we got u in the sand in my Lexus. Come in and back out the same way. I know you’ll love this place! Don’t think twice, just book it! We will definitely be back! Thank you HighTale House!!

Review Date: 7/19/2022

This house was lovely. A perfect layout for 2 couples but it was just myself and my husband and that was nice too. The pool was like bath water which I love. The house was extremely clean. The main thing that stood out to me was just how stunningly quiet the house was. I am usually glued to my phone and I sat outside and just stared at the view for hours. The stars at night are so good. I had a question about the fireplace and they were quick to respond and answered my question perfectly. The appliances are extremely bad ass as well. No complaints. It was a lovely stay.

Review Date: 7/8/2022

First time in Joshua Tree and our stay was excellent. Definitely a great place for couples or small families. It was also my first time staying in such a secluded place with surroundings half way open. I was probably just paranoid without enclosed walls but the stay was safe. Beautiful property. Note: Drove a stiffer suspension car and was probably a bad idea because some of the road leading up to the house the area is unpaved and quite uneven. Just keep that in mind.

Review Date: 6/28/2022

This is an amazing brand new home. If you’re on the fence about it just book it now. It’s worth it. The host company Homestead Modern does an amazing job. This was our third time staying at one of their properties. They are all great but this one stands out.

Review Date: 5/22/2022

Nach der Buchung haben wir ein Mail mit allen notwendigen Angaben erhalten, es war gut verständlich und hat alle notwendigen Informationen enthalten. Die letzten 500 Meter der Strasse zum Haus sind nicht asphaltiert aber mit einem ‚normalen‘ Fahrzeug ist es sehr gut zu bewältigen. Das Check-In verläuft mittels erhaltenem Code und vor Ort trifft man niemanden an. Es war sehr einfach und unkompliziert. Das Haus ist sehr ruhig gelegen, hat eine schöne Aussicht über Joshua Tree und für die Nachbarn ist es fast nicht einsehbar. Es ist sehr modern, mit Klimaanlage und allen Küchengeräten, die man benötigt. Es hat eine grosse Küche mit offenem Wohnbereich und zwei schöne Schlafzimmer mit dazugehörigem Bad. Das Bett ist sehr bequem mit toller Bettwäsche, wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Der Aussenbereich ist ebenfalls sehr schön, der überdachte Sitzbereich ist gemütlich und Gold wert bei der heissen Sonne. Das Auto kann man direkt beim Haus abstellen und man hat es immer im Blickfeld. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermietung ist grossartig! Bei Problemen wird umgehend geantwortet und eine Lösung gesucht. Wir haben drei wunderbare Tage im Hightail House verbracht und können es nur weiterempfehlen.

This is a beautiful desert getaway that did not disappoint in any way. The light at sunrise and sunset was gorgeous, and the living spaces—indoors and out—are perfectly arranged to enjoy it. We left feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. Wonderful experience.

Review Date: 5/14/2022

All 5*! Stayed here with my husband, parents and fur baby and had the best time. We’ve all agreed that we never stayed at a more beautiful and clean Airbnb before. So beautiful that my mom and I took various photos of the interior because we felt inspired by how cozy and modern it looked. We will be back. Thank you!

Review Date: 4/6/2022

Our neighbors back home have been doing construction for months on end. We really just needed a quiet weekend away with just a simple sense of peace. If this is also what you are searching for, we absolutely recommend this home! The home was spotless and everything was comfortable. We spent a great deal of time in the pool in the sunshine and then in the spa under the stars. The hosts had wonderful communication and were easy to reach. This was our first time visiting the desert and we look forward to returning.

Review Date: 4/5/2022

Absolutely fabulous home! It’s a great stay with great views. The communication with the host was excellent! Heads up even though the home is advertised with heated pool, there is a $300 fee to have the pool heated. We paid the additional fee and unfortunately the pool was lukewarm but we made the best of it. And the road to the home is not paved so don’t bring your sports car! It was a great adventure.

Review Date: 4/2/2022

This property is just as you see in the pictures. New construction and very clean. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. We enjoyed looking through all the books and probably listened to all the records. Cant wait to come back.

Review Date: 3/26/2022

Great getaway if you’re looking for a quiet, serene time by the pool while enjoying the sun set and rise. Even if any issues arise, the staff is very responsive. We’re already planning another trip for one of Homestead Modern’s other properties.

Review Date: 3/24/2022

We had a wonderful stay at Hightail House. The house is clean, updated, private, has amazing light and views. It was perfect for our family of 4. Star gazing under the full moon, in the hot tub at night, was dreamy. We look forward to going back soon.

Review Date: 3/18/2022

The hightail house was nothing short of perfection. From the modern touches to the peacefulness the landscape brought, the whole stay was an absolute wonderful one. We love traveling and experiencing homes that appreciate the value of design, decor, and esthetic, and this home doesn’t fall short in any. We even stayed with our 2 young children, and they had a blast. We never even left the home. That’s how wonderful of a time we had. It just goes to show that if you stay in a place that has the amenities and surroundings that work for you and your family, you will be completely content. Plus the sunrises and sunsets will take your breath away! Enjoy :)

Review Date: 2/25/2022

An incredible home overlooking the Joshua Tree Valley. Immaculate attention to cleanliness. High quality throughout the property. Stargazing and planet watching came at no extra charge. Will be sure to visit next year.

Review Date: 2/20/2022

Amazing location. Close to the park and town but just far enough away and positioned in a way to feel secluded. Hosts are incredibly communicative and welcoming. We will definitely return.

Review Date: 2/9/2022

This spot is even better than the photos. The sunrises and sunsets from the hot tub or under blankets in the lounge chairs was how I spent every morning! Saw so many quails in the brush and soaked up the sun! Joshua tree is so close for hiking or scenic drives and it is close enough to food and supplies while being far enough away to be private. We will be returning with friends next year with friends to share in the sunshine!

Review Date: 1/28/2022

We had a wonderful time here. Everything was perfect and the amenities and design were so thoughtful. The photos just don’t do it justice, one of the most beautiful Airbnb’s we have stayed at. We wish we had stayed longer! The home was isolated enough but the shops were still conveniently located. Thank you for hosting us and we hope to come back soon!

Review Date: 12/23/2021

The home is absolutely stunning. Watching the sunrise by the fire from the living room was magical. Staying at this house was definitely the highlight of our visit to Joshua Tree!

Review Date: 12/23/2021

This home is absolutely perfect! Incredibly clean, comfortable and cozy with the fireplace. We enjoyed the hot tub every night while it was nice and chilly outside. The kitchen is immaculate and we enjoyed making dinner here. Very nice and easy drive into Joshua Tree . We all loved it and hope to return soon

Had a wonderful time at Hightail House. Everything was very professionally managed and communication was effortless and smooth. It's a wonderful location to unwind and disconnect. Extremely close to Joshua Tree NP, did not disappoint!

Review Date: 11/16/2021

A perfect couple retreat! Had an amazing stay at this incredible home. Hosts were easy to work with which made the stay even more enjoyable. There was clearly tremendous attention to detail when designing the space because the home was beautiful and functional. The pool was a tad smaller than we expected but it was plenty of space and we were able to completely enjoy it. Not sure if it’s possible to recommend more highly!

Review Date: 10/22/2021

This place was perfect and just what we were looking for our first time in Joshua Tree. The host was super responsive with any questions we had. The beds were super comfortable and I used the pool and hot tub every single morning. It was a super relaxing trip for us and we can’t wait to stay here again! Thank you again.

Review Date: 10/18/2021

Stunning property with beautiful design. Looks new and feels inviting with excellent design touches throughout. I enjoyed the books - there are some photo book and spiritual gems in there. The kitchen was out of the world. New appliances and utensils. BBQ was so clutch. We were so inspired by the jacuzzi and pool. We turned off all the lights outside and marveled at how friken beautiful this land is. Far enough from the business of the main street, yet close enough to get supplies easily. JT is one of my favorite spots on earth and this property does it justice. I think it's worth the price and is a delight to share with others if you are able. Real life magic! By the way, the relaxed nature of the owners was really cool to see. Usually companies that own airbnbs are a bit uptight with all the damn rules, it could make you feel crazy. But Homestead was really chill... and they got out of the way. I wouldnt hesitate to repeat our stay.

Review Date: 10/13/2021

We had a really peaceful time at the home. Pool was perfect for chilling in and also perfect for my son as the first portion of it is only a few inches , so great for just lying or playing with a child . Looks beautiful peeking out of the tub and pool to see the mountains . Many comfortable furniture to lounge on . Kitchen is well stocked, loved the books they provided . The only thing I would recommend some drapes in the living room at night if felt a little exposed as the home is on a slight mountain.

Review Date: 10/6/2021

Had such a peaceful, wonderful time at this house! Everything about it is perfect! The lay-out is amazing, spacious but cozy and beautifully decorated. The couch and beds are sooo comfortable, the showers are awesome, and we had so much fun enjoying the outdoor amenities (pool, hot tub, fire-it, bbq, AND bocce ball!). We never wanted to leave and can't wait to come back. Thank you so much Homestead Modern!

Review Date: 9/19/2021

A perfect modern home on a secluded lot tucked with reasonable access to all the necessary amenities. We made all our meals at home and lounged around all day before lying outside under the stars with the warm summer breeze. It was precisely what we were looking for.

Review Date: 9/11/2021

We had the most wonderful stay at Hightail House; the place is spectacular, incredibly well appointed with thoughtful touches throughout. The views from all the rooms are incredible- expansive views across Joshua Tree National Park. All the appliances are modern and well designed, and the vast windows mean you can enjoy the beautiful setting even when you’re inside in the air conditioning! We enjoyed reading through the lovely art books, watching nature (especially the local Desert Hare) and playing in the pool. The hot tub is pretty special under the stars at night, and even has disco lights! Homestead Modern we’re super easy to communicate with and check-in/check-out was a breeze. We’d definitely stay here again!

Review Date: 8/29/2021

This home is the perfect weekend getaway. The pool was fantastic during the day and night. Cleanliness was a 10/10, the views are perfect, and communication with the host was seamless. Can’t wait to visit again!

Review Date: 8/9/2021

Just wow. We were absolutely blown away by this house—from the insanely beautiful and functional kitchen (my wife and I take cooking very seriously) to the equally stunning two bedrooms (each with a super chic on-suite bathroom), every corner of this house is impeccably designed. The clean design carries on to the outside with an awesome pool and a cute covered patio/outdoor dining area. The fencing around half of the house is strategically placed to provide optimal privacy from neighbors while letting you enjoy uninterrupted panoramic views of Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley. It was super easy to drive to stores and the national park’s west entrance. 10/10 would recommend this house.

Review Date: 8/8/2021

Our family loved everything about this spot. The pool was one of the highlights of our stay. Especially at night. The kitchen was beautiful and we made sure to use it. Make sure to plan a meal ahead of time. The view from the kitchen and the living room was so relaxing. Being so close to Joshua Tree was so convenient as well.

Review Date: 7/29/2021

Had an amazing stay... the house was spotless and had all the amenities you could need. When I had a question the response was quick and helpful. Not to mention the location was quiet and beautiful... it felt secluded but was a quick drive into town. Would absolutely return!
