Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Recent Guests:

-DESIGN-
Famed architect Ron Radziner established the architectural design firm, Marmol Radziner and Associates, with Leo Marmol in Venice in 1989. By 2014, Radziner had worked on restoration projects originally designed by architects like Cliff May, John Lautner, and E. Stewart Williams. The firm also completed the restoration of Neutra's Kronish House in Beverly Hills that year. Over the course of his career, Radziner had helped design homes for clients like Tom Ford and Bradley Cooper and was honored as an inductee of the Interior Design Hall of Fame in 2009.

-ESSENTIALS-
The cabin has WiFi, heating, and air conditioning, plus parking for 2 vehicles.

Because of the remote location, please note that the WiFi is typically very strong, but can be a bit slower in difficult weather.

-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 Marmol Radziner's Modernist Cabin. 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.

The setting is so pristine! To bath under the moonlight and stars in total privacy in the wild boulder fields at night and then frolic endlessly by day in Joshua Tree was such a treat.
- Review Date: 4/21/2024

We found our stay delightful. The proximity to nature, literally on the other side of the window was special. Our morning coffee included a full show of birds, chipmunks, and bunnies feeding on their breakfast fair. I go to the desert for escape and reset and our stay checked that box. We also loved the architecture and style of the home and would return again.
- Review Date: 4/5/2024

They were amazing at accommodating us - extremely responsive and willing to work with you. 10/10 recommend.
- Review Date: 4/4/2024

This was a phenomenal experience. The property is gorgeous, you might as well be inside the park. The windows made it feel like camping but way better. Stunning views, waking up to the sunrise, bird song and landscape. Incredibly peaceful and quiet. An inspiring experience, worth the price tag. I intent to come back. Thank you.
- Review Date: 4/1/2024

Had a lovely stay. The space is beautiful. The location is perfect. The scenery is exactly what you want for an Airbnb in Joshua Tree. I particularly liked the outdoor tub, fireplace and comfy bed.
- Review Date: 3/28/2024

Our stay was wonderful. It’s so peaceful and relaxing. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but close to town for food and shopping. We enjoyed hiking the property and watching the sunrise and sunset. The outdoor tub was a great addition. Our only complaint is that the only available shower is outdoors. It got pretty cold because the wind was blowing. Everything else was great.
- Review Date: 3/26/2024

The cabin was super cute and nice for my two-night stay during my first visit to Joshua Tree. There were no extra blankets or washcloths and response was extremely slow from the host, so none were available the first night, which was a little disappointing. They simply messaged to look in the cabinets, which I had already done. They did finally bring some over the next day around 1p with some tea and cookies, which was a nice gesture. The surrounding environment was absolutely breathtaking! The only drawback was it didn't feel super clean, as there was a layer of dust above the bed area where books are stashed. It's lovely how the boulders can be lit up at night, and trails can be accessed directly from the back door.
- Review Date: 3/25/2024

Thank you for staying with us on your trip to the hi-desert and for your honest review. We've gone ahead and left extra blankets in the space for our future guests and will be sure our cleaning company checks the bookshelves for dust. Thank you again for staying with us and safe travels!

I loved this place ! Perfect for getting away and loved the location not too far away from everything ! Definitely will be coming back
- Review Date: 3/17/2024

The cabin was a destination in itself. Multiple days I debated whether to drive into Joshua Tree NP or just go exploring around the cabin, and when I chose the latter, I didn't regret it. Nice courtyard grill and lighting, a perfect getaway!
- Review Date: 3/7/2024

Gorgeous views. Feels private yet close to the town and National park. Cowboy tub and outdoor shower were a cherry on top.
- Review Date: 3/4/2024

Me and my partner had a lovely time here, the fact that Joshua tree park is literally the backyard to this cute little house made it that much more magical, would definitely return
- Review Date: 2/29/2024

Really good emplacement and services next to Joshua tree. Highly recommended
- Review Date: 2/19/2024

Thank you for amazing experience, place is beautiful, exactly like on the pictures, location breathtaking here, I’m talking about big boulders at the “backyard” , this is really unique place , you feel like inside Joshua park and you can start exploring right from the house. They did good job with lighting inside and around the house, especially light up some big boulders at night, good touch! Highly recommended getaway for 2 people!
- Review Date: 2/19/2024

Perfect journey, wonderful house, marvelous place
- Review Date: 2/18/2024

Exactly as described with the most beautiful location for a backyard and house was amazing. Highly recommend!
- Review Date: 2/15/2024

Awesome place check it out! Thanks for having us
- Review Date: 9/28/2023

Very cozy place and 10 mins drive to town and 20 mins to the park. The apartment has everything including coffee. The bed is a bit small but can manage regardless. Host communication is quite timely and easy as well.
- Review Date: 9/26/2023

Dream come true, thanks for this amazing experience!
- Review Date: 9/23/2023

Great place, with a proper balance of price, design and view! I really enjoyed my stay, will be back soon!
- Review Date: 9/11/2023

Amazing stay! Really a special place.
- Review Date: 9/1/2023

We had the most incredible time at the Modernist Cabin. The landscape is incredibly beautiful, the location is so peaceful, the home has every amenity you could need, and our hosts were so helpful. Would highly recommend wanting a great Joshua Tree experience, and hope to stay again!
- Review Date: 8/25/2023

Stunning place! Perfect for a desert getaway.
- Review Date: 8/24/2023

A lovely place to spend a quiet desert weekend
- Review Date: 8/14/2023

Good place to stay
- Review Date: 8/10/2023

The cabin was well appointed and as described. It was clean, comfortable and had a lot of charm. Great indoor and outdoor spaces. The location was excellent; beautiful scenery and easy to walk into the park. Communication with the property management company was not always easy and information regarding checking in and check out procedures were not clear and sent late.
- Review Date: 8/2/2023

Fernando, thanks for mentioning that the cabin was well appointed, clean, comfortable and had a lot of charm... and that there were great indoor and outdoor spaces. We also love the beautiful scenery and easy access to the park. However, we must take issue with your complaints about communication. Homestead Modern is known well for our responsiveness, professionalism and friendly rapport. We see that you asked about a fee after hours and we got right back to you the next morning. We sent the checkout details to you the night before your departure, but your late departure reduced our ability to serve others in a timely way. While we like the compliments, the criticism here is inaccurate and not helpful to others - as it is factually untrue.

What an incredible space! The property is surrounded by beautiful rock structures and full of wildlife. If you're traveling during hot season (like we did), I highly recommend this space. The exterior covered living room provided relief from the sun, while allowing us to experience the outdoors in an otherwise extreme environment. I would absolutely stay here again.
- Review Date: 7/25/2023

They’re on top of things. Amazing communication, directions, and it’s all done ahead of time. Place was immaculate and it felt like almost staying in the park. Will definitely return. Thanks so much for doing it right.
- Review Date: 7/17/2023

small but beautiful. Perfect for a romantic getaway. Thank you for having us!
- Review Date: 7/17/2023

Booked this cabin last minute and I’m so glad I did. The cowboy tub was the best feature of the house. I think I spent more time in it than anywhere else in the house, including the bed!
- Review Date: 7/12/2023

We had an amazing time staying there for two nights. The best part was the outside bath in the night with all of the stars surrounding.
- Review Date: 7/8/2023

This was the best airbnb stay my husband and I have ever experienced. The natural surroundings of the space were just breathtaking. It felt very remote but still had close proximity to everything we needed. The space itself was very thoughtfully appointed with all the kitchenware and linens we could want. Our every need was anticipated. Our favorite part was watching the stars in the evening in the bathtub. We suggest bringing a telescope to get the most out of the amazing stargazing. Thank you so much for sharing this space with us. We hope to return someday in the future.
- Review Date: 7/5/2023

Stunning. Can’t wait to come back asap.
- Review Date: 7/4/2023

Great home , peaceful and the kitchen was fully stocked with all necessities. Will definitely return.
- Review Date: 7/3/2023

One of the most asthetic places we’ve ever stayed! Perfect amount of privacy while not feeling too far from restaurants/stores.
- Review Date: 6/30/2023

The Modernist Cabin was a perfect place for us during our elopement. The views were incredible, the place was just the right size, and the design and decor was stunning.
- Review Date: 6/15/2023

Great modern cabin, looks just like the photos. A nice place to relax and loved the surroundings. Had everything needed to feel at home.

My husband and I enjoyed our two nights at the Homestead Modern. It was our first big trip since having our daughter so we decided to splurge a bit and stay here. While the location is beautiful, neighbors did walk through our backyard in the evening, so it’s not completely private. I’m just happy we weren’t in the tub or shower at the time. We also had some difficulty with the temperature controls on the shower (it was either really hot or cold), which was disappointing as this was a big reason for booking this place. Otherwise, it’s well-stocked and beautifully designed.

great place, we had a great stay, the outside shower was nice with the 70 degree weather but next day was a bit chilly when temps fell.

Beautiful space, comfortable and very thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed. Having JoshuaTree park at our doorstep was incredible. We would absolutely stay again!

If you are a perfectionist, like me, you will love Homestead. The house is absolutely perfect for two people and the outside spaces will leave you wanting to stay outside late. The cowboy tub was delightful for star-gazing. Homestead did not miss a thing, from outdoor blankets to keep you warm on a chilly night to a delightful yellow tea kettle which I already want to purchase. This house is abuts a beautiful landscape, great for walking and exploring. Couldn’t have asked for more. I’m picky, and I found no flaws. Sensational.

This modern cabin was exactly what I needed — a peaceful retreat with hiking and bouldering in the National park which is essentially the backyard.
- Review Date: 4/15/2023

We felt privileged to stay in such a wonderfully designed little home. The surrounding landscape is unbelievably beautiful.
- Review Date: 4/14/2023

We had a lovely and restful weekend at this cabin! The location is incredible, and being able to hike into the park was wonderful. There are neighbors fairly close on both sides, one is under construction and there was a godo amount of folks coming and going, but it's very quiet in the evenings. We were a bit surprised to see that the bed was quite small, but it was comfortable and we were able to make it work for a couple of nights. My husband is on the tall side, though, and I think any longer would've been too squishy!
- Review Date: 4/10/2023

Overall, it’s a nice spot, VERY small, not quite as private as we hoped (glass windows and outdoor shower are very much visible from neighbors property), we thought it wasn’t worth the money with the exception of being able to walk into the park. Would not recommend if you and your partner sleep/wake at different times as this is a TINY studio and would not recommend to stay for more than a night or two!

Hi Kea! Thanks for staying at our "Modernist Cabin". This unique property definitely takes coziness to another level! Most guests do enjoy this tranquil space for less than a week, but some are so charmed by the scenery that they stay longer. Hopefully the excellent weather inspired you to spend as much time outdoors... as inside.

The views are amazing. Bring your telescope if it had been a little warmer we would’ve enjoyed the outside a lot more, but it’s beautifully designed, and the kitchen is extremely well stocked.
- Review Date: 3/31/2023

This was our favorite Airbnb to date. An amazing spot!! The cabin looks just like the pictures. I would highly recommend for a couple looking to get away. Very romantic, cozy, and stunning scenery. Being able to walk out into the backyard and explore, rock scramble, & explore was priceless! We did astrophotography and it was the perfect setting.
- Review Date: 3/26/2023

Unbelievable views and quiet, private location near Joshua Tree National Park. Cabin is beautifully simple. Shower is outside, which was a bit chilly since the temperature was pretty cool during our stay but the view was incredible. Living spaces are also outside. We really enjoyed the fireplace and "cowboy tub". No sound system or rabbit food available during our stay but, otherwise, just like the description.
- Review Date: 3/13/2023

Magnifique logement: très bel intérieur, très soigné! On a beaucoup profité des 2 cours extérieures! Ça a vraiment été un plus pour notre séjour! L’emplacement est juste magnifique: un paysage à perte de vue et les boulders du Park joshua tree aux pieds du logement! Les couchers et les levers du soleil sont à tomber!!! Nous sommes très heureux d’avoir choisi ce logement et nous le conseillons vivement!!!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful weekend getaway here! Not only was the cabin spotless, it was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated inside and out.

- Review Date: 2/15/2023

This was my fourth stay at the modern cabin. I come every year for my birthday. I love the privacy and quiet, peaceful setting. My favorite things are the simple, clean interior, the huge windows, outdoor shower, and outdoor tub. The ‘backyard’ is infinitely hikable with the park right behind. Sunrises are spectacular. The night sky is mesmerizing as well. Soak it in.
- Review Date: 2/13/2023

absolutely stunning place, great host communication!
- Review Date: 2/7/2023

Really lovely stay, responsive host, and such a beautiful location. Backs directly up to the park, tons of hiking to directly from the property. The outdoor tub is large and has a great view. Only beef is that the shower is outdoors as well and can be chilly if you're there during the winter.
- Review Date: 2/4/2023

The modernist house was beautifully appointed with designer retro furniture in a great location. I was surprised when we arrived as I was expecting the house to be bigger. It is essentially a cabin that’s really suited to a summer stay. Because we were there in January it was cold which I knew it would be, but there was no- where comfortable to sit and relax inside, other than the bed. Suggestion for renting it out in the winter, would be to, either have more heating outside or put a couple of comfortable chairs inside. Otherwise, it was a lovely place to stay and explore Joshua Tree

What a magical spot above the valley with incredible views, surrounded by ancient rocks and plant life. We hope to return!
- Review Date: 1/5/2023

Generally, we enjoyed our stay. It’s a bit smaller than we anticipated—the pictures don’t accurately capture its size. Alas, it’s a beautiful place, fairly close to Yucca Valley and other attractions you might explore. Bring an extra blanket if it’s winter, as the one they provide is inadequate for two people. The place was well stocked for cooking, which we really appreciated it.
- Review Date: 1/3/2023

Happy to know you found our Modernist Cabin well stocked & beautiful. This is an architecturally significant home built as a small homestead retreat most find that it shows just as large as it photographs. The floor plan is included in the listing and extra blankets are provided in the closet next to the bed. Hope to see you again soon.

I'll definitely be back when it is a little bit warmer in California and I am able to enjoy the outdoor shower. Take that into account when doing a long term stay! **THE SHOWER IS OUTSIDE. Close to the national park and the location was beautiful.

Our stay was wonderful! I wanted to take my 9 year old son on a quick road trip before thanksgiving and I’m so glad we chose this home. We read books, played board games and I even cooked a sweet potato pie the night before thanksgiving! I love okie up at 4 am to look at stars right on the back patio. I saw 7 shooting stars! My son and I both took turns in the outdoor bath under a sunny windy sky. It was so relaxing! The place was so spotless and minimal but still beautiful. The giant windows were a plus because so much sunlight came through. They have long thick shades to block out the windows which we did in the evenings. I enjoyed every minute of being here. :) I would definitely love to stay here again sometime! As far as restaurants, We loved eating at the Crossroads cafe 5 minutes away. Everything was delicious! Thanks for a lovely stay!

Quiet, comfortable, and relaxing, we loved out stay.
- Review Date: 11/22/2022

Easy to find, modern design, clean room. The back of the house is surrounded by giant boulders as depicted. The house is away from light pollution so it’s an excellent location for stargazing. Note that the outdoor hot tub is not functional in winter months so if you are booking it for the hot tub, beware. The temperature mixer in the shower is a little difficult to fine tune as well.
- Review Date: 11/18/2022

We just loved it! This beautiful design house is right outside Joshua Tree National park and it was peaceful and the view was just stunning. In the morning your ordinary breakfast will somehow taste different and in the evening try the cowboy tub in the patio, it was just so relaxing. we would definitely come back again!

This was a great place to stay! The house was clean and cozy, and the view on all sides was amazing. We really enjoyed the outdoor space and we even saw a family of kit foxes running behind the house! Although the road up to the house is not paved, we had no issues in our small 2WD car. Conveniently located to the park entrance and shops/restaurants.

Super cute cabin at the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. Perfect for a couple. Location is great and quiet, but it takes a few minutes to get from the main road up the dirt road to the cabin. Small, but very clean and comfortable, with a fully-equipped kitchen (except no microwave that we could find). We loved the semi-outdoor shower and patio seating by the outdoor gas fireplace. You can also light up the nearby boulders for a cool night scene. With the lights off, the night sky is incredible! We would definitely stay there again if/when we go back.

I don’t know if I can possibly find the words to describe this view from this magical cabin, but it is absolutely spectacular!! To see the boulders up close and personal while having coffee early in the morning and watching the sun rise or late at night with the lights illuminating them while sitting by the fire pit was everything! The cabin was my minimalistic dream come true. From the decor to the outdoor shower and Cowboy tub, *chefs kiss! Everything was clean and ready for my stay. My dog even loved all the zen vibes that this cabin exudes, there truly is nothing like it! The stars at night were so bright that you could literally see them twinkling. My tip would be to go in a full moon and slip into the Cowboy tub under the stars!! Simply breathtaking! I def look forward to coming back to this dreamy cabin in the very near future!! ???

We found a gem in this modern haven. As soon as we stepped through the door, the stress and anxiety of driving 3,000 miles faded away quickly. We found peace and tranquility. The 360 degree views were stunning as we sat perched upon the top of the hill. I don’t know what was better, watching the sunrise or watching the sunset. They both were out of this world. There were more than enough amenities, and you couldn’t have asked for a better host. We will return to this lovely little gem.
- Review Date: 7/20/2022

10/10 highly recommend!! What an incredible space to stay! I highly recommend if you are looking to escape the city and reconnect with nature to stay here. The instructions given to locate the space was clear and easy to follow. The space itself was incredibly clean and well looked after. The new modern tub was a dream to cool off or warm up in the sun. The fireplace and seating area is so comfy in the evening enjoying a glass of wine. The surroundings are stunning! The views and star watching was gorgeous. We saw lots of lizards, bunnies and even a few coyotes! I already cannot wait to come back to Joshua Tree and explore more.

Beautiful location and modern architecture with many nearby locations. The home has everything you need for the kitchen etc but does lack the little warm and personal touches of a mom ‘n pop shop or real home. However, you do get rapid replies and staff available to tend to any issues. The level of communication was clear and in integrity. We appreciated that when we realized there was no hot water during our stay. They took care of us and we got to enjoy our second day of our anniversary trip.
- Review Date: 6/22/2022

By far the best and most exclusive stay we had while touring through California. The cabin is perfectly located at the top of an unpaved road with a beautiful view over The Valley. The house itself is a little masterpiece, with top notch furnishing, BBQ, outside bathtub and even lightning for the hills you will look at while laying at the lounger next to the stylish fireplace. If you are looking for an exclusive getaway from the cities where there will be just you, the starts, and some cute little rabbits, look no further!

If you like remote, calm, and quiet stays in the desert, then you'll love the Homestead Modern. Gorgeous rock formations in the back yard and great patio space for stargazing. The house itself is much like a studio apartment - one room with everything you need: kitchen, bed, bath, dining area. Definitely recommend for a calming escape.

Staying at homestead modern was without a doubt the most memorable place we ever stays. Everything was so nice curated.. If you get the chance you have to try to stay here. Unforgettable
- Review Date: 5/9/2022

A really special home on a really special piece of land. The orientation of the house toward the massive rock outcroppings creates a feeling of complete solitude. The home itself is perfect for a solo traveler or a couple. I saw many jackrabbits, roadrunners, hummingbirds, doves, phainopepla and quail. The quail woke me up each morning and the local coyotes sang every night at dusk. There is a great trail up through the rocks and into the remote Northern region of the park, enter to the right of the large water tank on the hill, or climb the boulders directly behind the house and link up with the Burro Loop trail. I did a 5-mile loop up through there and didn't see another person.

Best Place. I love the mountains, I love the ocean and I love the desert. It’s the perfect hideaway for those who are looking for loneliness. It’s really quiet day and night. you can enjoy the light, the sun, the air. It’s unbelievable that these stone’s are there since millions of years. A place for thinking and no thinking.

This property is nestled near the rocks on one edge of the park, with beautiful views on the north and south sides. The space was impeccably clean when we arrived. The kitchen was well-appointed and we were able to cook several meals without too many obstacles. Overall, our stay was comfortable and pleasant. A minor complaint is that the space was a little smaller than anticipated from the pictures (like a studio apartment), but it didn't detract from our trip in any way.
- Review Date: 4/13/2022

The perfect get-away in Joshua Tree! The best location - you're practically in the park!! The house was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable.

This was my second stay here and I almost hesitate to write another great review for fear of more people finding it. I came alone the first year for a fabulous weekend of solitude. This year I brought a special friend and the solitude was shared. It was no less special, for sure. We cooked, bathed, hiked, lounged, etc. We enjoyed every minute in this perfect, quiet cabin. The proximity to the park is ideal but wandering out the back door is just as magical at sunrise or whenever the moment hits. There are a few places within a 10-20 min drive if you must eat out. We even ventured to Palm Springs for provisions the first day. Its less than an hour drive and has a wide range of bars and stores. The kitchen is well equipped for basic meal prep and large enough to move around. The bathroom, outdoor shower, and outdoor tub are just right. I dream of them when I am home in snowy Michigan. In a phrase - don't come here and suffer the same longings I have;)

This was truly one of the best experiences I have ever had with Airbnb. The location of this house is so incredible, at times it was almost hard to believe where you are. Joshua Tree national park is stunning enough, but being able to walk right into the park from the privacy of your own home with no cars or other tourists around is so wonderful. The sunrises and sunsets are the most magical experience, everything about this house is perfect. Definitely planning another stay, cant wait to go back. Thank you for providing such an unforgettable experience.

The setting is so pristine! To bath under the moonlight and stars in total privacy in the wild boulder fields at night and then frolic endlessly by day in Joshua Tree was such a treat.

Review Date: 4/21/2024

We found our stay delightful. The proximity to nature, literally on the other side of the window was special. Our morning coffee included a full show of birds, chipmunks, and bunnies feeding on their breakfast fair. I go to the desert for escape and reset and our stay checked that box. We also loved the architecture and style of the home and would return again.

This was a phenomenal experience. The property is gorgeous, you might as well be inside the park. The windows made it feel like camping but way better. Stunning views, waking up to the sunrise, bird song and landscape. Incredibly peaceful and quiet. An inspiring experience, worth the price tag. I intent to come back. Thank you.

Our stay was wonderful. It’s so peaceful and relaxing. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but close to town for food and shopping. We enjoyed hiking the property and watching the sunrise and sunset. The outdoor tub was a great addition. Our only complaint is that the only available shower is outdoors. It got pretty cold because the wind was blowing. Everything else was great.

The cabin was super cute and nice for my two-night stay during my first visit to Joshua Tree. There were no extra blankets or washcloths and response was extremely slow from the host, so none were available the first night, which was a little disappointing. They simply messaged to look in the cabinets, which I had already done. They did finally bring some over the next day around 1p with some tea and cookies, which was a nice gesture. The surrounding environment was absolutely breathtaking! The only drawback was it didn't feel super clean, as there was a layer of dust above the bed area where books are stashed. It's lovely how the boulders can be lit up at night, and trails can be accessed directly from the back door.

The cabin was a destination in itself. Multiple days I debated whether to drive into Joshua Tree NP or just go exploring around the cabin, and when I chose the latter, I didn't regret it. Nice courtyard grill and lighting, a perfect getaway!

Review Date: 3/7/2024

Me and my partner had a lovely time here, the fact that Joshua tree park is literally the backyard to this cute little house made it that much more magical, would definitely return

Review Date: 2/29/2024

Thank you for amazing experience, place is beautiful, exactly like on the pictures, location breathtaking here, I’m talking about big boulders at the “backyard” , this is really unique place , you feel like inside Joshua park and you can start exploring right from the house. They did good job with lighting inside and around the house, especially light up some big boulders at night, good touch! Highly recommended getaway for 2 people!

Review Date: 2/19/2024

Very cozy place and 10 mins drive to town and 20 mins to the park. The apartment has everything including coffee. The bed is a bit small but can manage regardless. Host communication is quite timely and easy as well.

We had the most incredible time at the Modernist Cabin. The landscape is incredibly beautiful, the location is so peaceful, the home has every amenity you could need, and our hosts were so helpful. Would highly recommend wanting a great Joshua Tree experience, and hope to stay again!

Review Date: 8/25/2023

The cabin was well appointed and as described. It was clean, comfortable and had a lot of charm. Great indoor and outdoor spaces. The location was excellent; beautiful scenery and easy to walk into the park. Communication with the property management company was not always easy and information regarding checking in and check out procedures were not clear and sent late.

Review Date: 8/2/2023

What an incredible space! The property is surrounded by beautiful rock structures and full of wildlife. If you're traveling during hot season (like we did), I highly recommend this space. The exterior covered living room provided relief from the sun, while allowing us to experience the outdoors in an otherwise extreme environment. I would absolutely stay here again.

Review Date: 7/25/2023

They’re on top of things. Amazing communication, directions, and it’s all done ahead of time. Place was immaculate and it felt like almost staying in the park. Will definitely return. Thanks so much for doing it right.

Review Date: 7/17/2023

Booked this cabin last minute and I’m so glad I did. The cowboy tub was the best feature of the house. I think I spent more time in it than anywhere else in the house, including the bed!

Review Date: 7/12/2023

This was the best airbnb stay my husband and I have ever experienced. The natural surroundings of the space were just breathtaking. It felt very remote but still had close proximity to everything we needed. The space itself was very thoughtfully appointed with all the kitchenware and linens we could want. Our every need was anticipated. Our favorite part was watching the stars in the evening in the bathtub. We suggest bringing a telescope to get the most out of the amazing stargazing. Thank you so much for sharing this space with us. We hope to return someday in the future.

Review Date: 7/5/2023

My husband and I enjoyed our two nights at the Homestead Modern. It was our first big trip since having our daughter so we decided to splurge a bit and stay here. While the location is beautiful, neighbors did walk through our backyard in the evening, so it’s not completely private. I’m just happy we weren’t in the tub or shower at the time. We also had some difficulty with the temperature controls on the shower (it was either really hot or cold), which was disappointing as this was a big reason for booking this place. Otherwise, it’s well-stocked and beautifully designed.

Review Date: 6/2/2023

This is our second time visiting this property. It is a true gem. The architecture and location is amazing. Well equipped kitchen, gorgeous furnishings and very well kept. The check in and check out process was perfect. Terrific communication

Review Date: 5/18/2023

Beautiful space, comfortable and very thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed. Having JoshuaTree park at our doorstep was incredible. We would absolutely stay again!

Review Date: 4/28/2023

If you are a perfectionist, like me, you will love Homestead. The house is absolutely perfect for two people and the outside spaces will leave you wanting to stay outside late. The cowboy tub was delightful for star-gazing. Homestead did not miss a thing, from outdoor blankets to keep you warm on a chilly night to a delightful yellow tea kettle which I already want to purchase. This house is abuts a beautiful landscape, great for walking and exploring. Couldn’t have asked for more. I’m picky, and I found no flaws. Sensational.

Review Date: 4/20/2023

We had a lovely and restful weekend at this cabin! The location is incredible, and being able to hike into the park was wonderful. There are neighbors fairly close on both sides, one is under construction and there was a godo amount of folks coming and going, but it's very quiet in the evenings. We were a bit surprised to see that the bed was quite small, but it was comfortable and we were able to make it work for a couple of nights. My husband is on the tall side, though, and I think any longer would've been too squishy!

Review Date: 4/10/2023

Overall, it’s a nice spot, VERY small, not quite as private as we hoped (glass windows and outdoor shower are very much visible from neighbors property), we thought it wasn’t worth the money with the exception of being able to walk into the park. Would not recommend if you and your partner sleep/wake at different times as this is a TINY studio and would not recommend to stay for more than a night or two!

Review Date: 4/9/2023

The views are amazing. Bring your telescope if it had been a little warmer we would’ve enjoyed the outside a lot more, but it’s beautifully designed, and the kitchen is extremely well stocked.

Review Date: 3/31/2023

This was our favorite Airbnb to date. An amazing spot!! The cabin looks just like the pictures. I would highly recommend for a couple looking to get away. Very romantic, cozy, and stunning scenery. Being able to walk out into the backyard and explore, rock scramble, & explore was priceless! We did astrophotography and it was the perfect setting.

Review Date: 3/26/2023

Unbelievable views and quiet, private location near Joshua Tree National Park. Cabin is beautifully simple. Shower is outside, which was a bit chilly since the temperature was pretty cool during our stay but the view was incredible. Living spaces are also outside. We really enjoyed the fireplace and "cowboy tub". No sound system or rabbit food available during our stay but, otherwise, just like the description.

Review Date: 3/13/2023

Magnifique logement: très bel intérieur, très soigné! On a beaucoup profité des 2 cours extérieures! Ça a vraiment été un plus pour notre séjour! L’emplacement est juste magnifique: un paysage à perte de vue et les boulders du Park joshua tree aux pieds du logement! Les couchers et les levers du soleil sont à tomber!!! Nous sommes très heureux d’avoir choisi ce logement et nous le conseillons vivement!!!

Review Date: 3/7/2023

This place was everything we hoped for! Got to enjoy the quiet peaceful desert in a home designed to enhance our vacation. The property had amazing retro elements with all the modern upgrades for comfort. We will be returning soon and often!

Review Date: 3/3/2023

My fiancé and I had a wonderful weekend getaway here! Not only was the cabin spotless, it was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated inside and out. And oh my gosh…the views and sunsets were absolutely gorgeous!!! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a romantic and quiet weekend away. Thank you for hosting us!!

Review Date: 2/15/2023

This was my fourth stay at the modern cabin. I come every year for my birthday. I love the privacy and quiet, peaceful setting. My favorite things are the simple, clean interior, the huge windows, outdoor shower, and outdoor tub. The ‘backyard’ is infinitely hikable with the park right behind. Sunrises are spectacular. The night sky is mesmerizing as well. Soak it in.

Review Date: 2/13/2023

Really lovely stay, responsive host, and such a beautiful location. Backs directly up to the park, tons of hiking to directly from the property. The outdoor tub is large and has a great view. Only beef is that the shower is outdoors as well and can be chilly if you're there during the winter.

Review Date: 2/4/2023

The modernist house was beautifully appointed with designer retro furniture in a great location. I was surprised when we arrived as I was expecting the house to be bigger. It is essentially a cabin that’s really suited to a summer stay. Because we were there in January it was cold which I knew it would be, but there was no- where comfortable to sit and relax inside, other than the bed. Suggestion for renting it out in the winter, would be to, either have more heating outside or put a couple of comfortable chairs inside. Otherwise, it was a lovely place to stay and explore Joshua Tree

Review Date: 2/2/2023

Generally, we enjoyed our stay. It’s a bit smaller than we anticipated—the pictures don’t accurately capture its size. Alas, it’s a beautiful place, fairly close to Yucca Valley and other attractions you might explore. Bring an extra blanket if it’s winter, as the one they provide is inadequate for two people. The place was well stocked for cooking, which we really appreciated it.

Review Date: 1/3/2023

I'll definitely be back when it is a little bit warmer in California and I am able to enjoy the outdoor shower. Take that into account when doing a long term stay! **THE SHOWER IS OUTSIDE. Close to the national park and the location was beautiful.

Review Date: 12/20/2022

we had an incredible stay! isolated and quiet surrounded by desert. Kitchen was full of everything we needed, we cooked all our meals at home. Close to town and super cozy. Can't wait to stay again.

Review Date: 12/12/2022

Our stay was wonderful! I wanted to take my 9 year old son on a quick road trip before thanksgiving and I’m so glad we chose this home. We read books, played board games and I even cooked a sweet potato pie the night before thanksgiving! I love okie up at 4 am to look at stars right on the back patio. I saw 7 shooting stars! My son and I both took turns in the outdoor bath under a sunny windy sky. It was so relaxing! The place was so spotless and minimal but still beautiful. The giant windows were a plus because so much sunlight came through. They have long thick shades to block out the windows which we did in the evenings. I enjoyed every minute of being here. :) I would definitely love to stay here again sometime! As far as restaurants, We loved eating at the Crossroads cafe 5 minutes away. Everything was delicious! Thanks for a lovely stay!

Review Date: 12/6/2022

Easy to find, modern design, clean room. The back of the house is surrounded by giant boulders as depicted. The house is away from light pollution so it’s an excellent location for stargazing. Note that the outdoor hot tub is not functional in winter months so if you are booking it for the hot tub, beware. The temperature mixer in the shower is a little difficult to fine tune as well.

Review Date: 11/18/2022

We just loved it! This beautiful design house is right outside Joshua Tree National park and it was peaceful and the view was just stunning. In the morning your ordinary breakfast will somehow taste different and in the evening try the cowboy tub in the patio, it was just so relaxing. we would definitely come back again!

Review Date: 11/14/2022

A beautifully designed cabin on a spectacular spot above Joshua Tree. The fireplace and outdoor bath made the stay extra special. Incredible rock formations to explore right at your door step. We will be back!

Review Date: 11/9/2022

AMAZING VIEWS! Loved the privacy! Very clean! The lit boulders in the yard at night was my favorite! Very close to the park and town, food, etc. LOVED our stay, wish I was still there!

Review Date: 10/31/2022

This was a great place to stay! The house was clean and cozy, and the view on all sides was amazing. We really enjoyed the outdoor space and we even saw a family of kit foxes running behind the house! Although the road up to the house is not paved, we had no issues in our small 2WD car. Conveniently located to the park entrance and shops/restaurants.

Review Date: 10/12/2022

My husband and I had such an amazing weekend here! The outdoor shower and tub are definite highlights, as is the proximity to the park and the overall minimalist desert vibes. Definitely worth a visit!

Review Date: 10/5/2022

Super cute cabin at the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. Perfect for a couple. Location is great and quiet, but it takes a few minutes to get from the main road up the dirt road to the cabin. Small, but very clean and comfortable, with a fully-equipped kitchen (except no microwave that we could find). We loved the semi-outdoor shower and patio seating by the outdoor gas fireplace. You can also light up the nearby boulders for a cool night scene. With the lights off, the night sky is incredible! We would definitely stay there again if/when we go back.

Review Date: 9/2/2022

Thoughtfully designed to spotlight the beauty of the surrounding area. Everything was perfect, from the lighting, to the outdoor tub, carefully selected furniture and cozy patio area with comfortable seating and fireplace. Spending time here was the highlight of our time in Joshua Tree.

Review Date: 8/1/2022

I don’t know if I can possibly find the words to describe this view from this magical cabin, but it is absolutely spectacular!! To see the boulders up close and personal while having coffee early in the morning and watching the sun rise or late at night with the lights illuminating them while sitting by the fire pit was everything! The cabin was my minimalistic dream come true. From the decor to the outdoor shower and Cowboy tub, *chefs kiss! Everything was clean and ready for my stay. My dog even loved all the zen vibes that this cabin exudes, there truly is nothing like it! The stars at night were so bright that you could literally see them twinkling. My tip would be to go in a full moon and slip into the Cowboy tub under the stars!! Simply breathtaking! I def look forward to coming back to this dreamy cabin in the very near future!! ???

Review Date: 7/21/2022

We found a gem in this modern haven. As soon as we stepped through the door, the stress and anxiety of driving 3,000 miles faded away quickly. We found peace and tranquility. The 360 degree views were stunning as we sat perched upon the top of the hill. I don’t know what was better, watching the sunrise or watching the sunset. They both were out of this world. There were more than enough amenities, and you couldn’t have asked for a better host. We will return to this lovely little gem.

Review Date: 7/20/2022

10/10 highly recommend!! What an incredible space to stay! I highly recommend if you are looking to escape the city and reconnect with nature to stay here. The instructions given to locate the space was clear and easy to follow. The space itself was incredibly clean and well looked after. The new modern tub was a dream to cool off or warm up in the sun. The fireplace and seating area is so comfy in the evening enjoying a glass of wine. The surroundings are stunning! The views and star watching was gorgeous. We saw lots of lizards, bunnies and even a few coyotes! I already cannot wait to come back to Joshua Tree and explore more.

Review Date: 7/14/2022

Was an amazing first time in Joshua Tree! Any issues I had they resolved and answered with quickness and the property was beautiful. Definitely going to return and I can’t wait to!

Review Date: 7/6/2022

Beautiful location and modern architecture with many nearby locations. The home has everything you need for the kitchen etc but does lack the little warm and personal touches of a mom ‘n pop shop or real home. However, you do get rapid replies and staff available to tend to any issues. The level of communication was clear and in integrity. We appreciated that when we realized there was no hot water during our stay. They took care of us and we got to enjoy our second day of our anniversary trip.

Review Date: 6/22/2022

By far the best and most exclusive stay we had while touring through California. The cabin is perfectly located at the top of an unpaved road with a beautiful view over The Valley. The house itself is a little masterpiece, with top notch furnishing, BBQ, outside bathtub and even lightning for the hills you will look at while laying at the lounger next to the stylish fireplace. If you are looking for an exclusive getaway from the cities where there will be just you, the starts, and some cute little rabbits, look no further!

Review Date: 6/19/2022

We highly recommend this place. We’ve visited twice and it’s only gotten better The location is the best you’ll find for privacy and convenient activities - hiking straight into the park. It is close to the west park entrance as well if you want to drive in. The place and amenities are the best, bare none. We’ll be back!

Review Date: 6/8/2022

fantastic, wonderful, superb! i’ve been to a few airbnbs in joshua tree, and this one WINS on location with its own little elevated cove. no light pollution, stargazing was 11/10 (come on a new moon ?)! also they have bunny chow :)

Review Date: 6/1/2022

Real experiencial stay! Perfect location, walking amongst the stone formations and flora right there. Everything thought of, easy check in and out, great communication and pristine. Will come again if I can!

Review Date: 5/18/2022

If you like remote, calm, and quiet stays in the desert, then you'll love the Homestead Modern. Gorgeous rock formations in the back yard and great patio space for stargazing. The house itself is much like a studio apartment - one room with everything you need: kitchen, bed, bath, dining area. Definitely recommend for a calming escape.

Review Date: 5/17/2022

Staying at homestead modern was without a doubt the most memorable place we ever stays. Everything was so nice curated.. If you get the chance you have to try to stay here. Unforgettable

Review Date: 5/9/2022

A really special home on a really special piece of land. The orientation of the house toward the massive rock outcroppings creates a feeling of complete solitude. The home itself is perfect for a solo traveler or a couple. I saw many jackrabbits, roadrunners, hummingbirds, doves, phainopepla and quail. The quail woke me up each morning and the local coyotes sang every night at dusk. There is a great trail up through the rocks and into the remote Northern region of the park, enter to the right of the large water tank on the hill, or climb the boulders directly behind the house and link up with the Burro Loop trail. I did a 5-mile loop up through there and didn't see another person.

Review Date: 5/4/2022

This is such a wonderful place to stay. The views are spectacular at night, and we thoroughly enjoyed the intimate cabin, especially the gas fireplace. We didn't want to leave!

Review Date: 4/25/2022

Best Place. I love the mountains, I love the ocean and I love the desert. It’s the perfect hideaway for those who are looking for loneliness. It’s really quiet day and night. you can enjoy the light, the sun, the air. It’s unbelievable that these stone’s are there since millions of years. A place for thinking and no thinking.

Review Date: 4/24/2022

This property is nestled near the rocks on one edge of the park, with beautiful views on the north and south sides. The space was impeccably clean when we arrived. The kitchen was well-appointed and we were able to cook several meals without too many obstacles. Overall, our stay was comfortable and pleasant. A minor complaint is that the space was a little smaller than anticipated from the pictures (like a studio apartment), but it didn't detract from our trip in any way.

Review Date: 4/13/2022

The perfect get-away in Joshua Tree! The best location - you're practically in the park!! The house was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. The outdoor areas are essentially extensions of the house, so it feels very spacious. Easy check-in and check-out, and great communication with the host. Will definitely be coming back!

Review Date: 4/3/2022

Look no further for an amazing place to stay in Joshua tree. Amazing place in an amazing location. Literally walk out the back and you’re in Joshua tree. Lots of wildlife and amazing landscape. Perfect getaway

Beautiful! Perfect jumping off place for some great hiking in Joshua Tree or in your backyard. Modern, clean lined desert architecture. Kitchen well stocked. Enjoyed every minute.

Beautiful home and location. Loved the quaintness and views of the location backing up to Joshua Tree National park. Great location to the park entrance and other activities.

The house was absolutely perfect and the setting could not have been more gorgeous. The support provided by the owners was also excellent -- they were extremely responsive and helpful. Could not recommend more highly.

Review Date: 2/11/2022

The most magical cabin and land. Otherworldly. The view of the rocks is unbelievable. Beautifully designed, the shower is indoor with a outside covered sky view. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in such a special place, and will return. Note that the bed is a double so we prepared for that

Review Date: 2/5/2022

The scenery is gorgeous. The home makes for a great quick get-away. Especially nice was the outdoor tub and outdoor shower. You see bunnies, hawks, and other birds around the property. Very quite and peaceful.

Review Date: 2/3/2022

This was my second stay here and I almost hesitate to write another great review for fear of more people finding it. I came alone the first year for a fabulous weekend of solitude. This year I brought a special friend and the solitude was shared. It was no less special, for sure. We cooked, bathed, hiked, lounged, etc. We enjoyed every minute in this perfect, quiet cabin. The proximity to the park is ideal but wandering out the back door is just as magical at sunrise or whenever the moment hits. There are a few places within a 10-20 min drive if you must eat out. We even ventured to Palm Springs for provisions the first day. Its less than an hour drive and has a wide range of bars and stores. The kitchen is well equipped for basic meal prep and large enough to move around. The bathroom, outdoor shower, and outdoor tub are just right. I dream of them when I am home in snowy Michigan. In a phrase - don't come here and suffer the same longings I have;)

Review Date: 12/23/2021

Beautiful spot! Looks just like the pics and there are rocks to climb around on close by and Joshua trees. Feels like you’re in the park almost. And the hot water tub outside is the best Highly recommend.

Review Date: 12/17/2021

Such a magical place. The hikes behind the property were more incredible than any other hike we drove to do while in Joshua Tree. We had a busy trip and the only regret was not booking more downtime to stay in and enjoy this beautiful cabin. Can't wait to go back!

Review Date: 12/7/2021

The atmosphere created by the proximity to the park and the space itself was beyond my expectations, will be returning! The host was excellent.. very attentive and helpful. Perfect place to seek tranquillity in solitude.

Review Date: 11/20/2021

Cleanliness is next to godliness. When you’re in a homestead modern establishment, you get both. Excellent interaction with the host from recommendations in the area to providing a seamless transition from traveling to walking in the front door and feeling like you are truly home.

Review Date: 10/16/2021

Amazing house just as described! Perfectly clean and great location. The house was exactly as described and had everything we needed for a great vacation. Highly recommend!

Review Date: 10/12/2021

This was truly one of the best experiences I have ever had with Airbnb. The location of this house is so incredible, at times it was almost hard to believe where you are. Joshua Tree national park is stunning enough, but being able to walk right into the park from the privacy of your own home with no cars or other tourists around is so wonderful. The sunrises and sunsets are the most magical experience, everything about this house is perfect. Definitely planning another stay, cant wait to go back. Thank you for providing such an unforgettable experience.

Review Date: 10/8/2021

This place amazing! Good location for easy access to the park although I could’ve just hung out at the property all day. I mean, the area behind it is just stunning. Also LOVED the outdoor shower! Definitely a place you don’t wanna miss if you’re in the area and have the opportunity.
