Dog owners agree to the following additional rules: use protective sheets that we will leave out for you to cover any place where your dog may lie (we are not equipped to shampoo furniture or rugs or dry clean bedding after your departure); dogs must be leashed at all times when outside (there are coyotes in the High Desert, which present danger to unleashed dogs) and owners must immediately pick up after their dogs and deposit waste in a plastic bag and place it in the garbage bin; dogs are not to be left unattended in the property at any time. In addition to our additional dog cleaning fee, we will deduct the costs of extra cleaning (including at least $50 for pet fur left on furniture due to lack of use of the provided protective sheets) or repairs necessitated by the presence of your dog.

What a lovely stay we had for our anniversary. I use this platform often and I have to say this is one of the most thoughtfully curated spaces I’ve ever stayed in. It also looked just like the photos. I appreciated the small details, the minimalist style and design details were just impeccable. It was so relaxing and calming to the senses and had everything you needed. I also appreciate Homesteads customer service. 10/10 service.

Beautiful peaceful

I stayed in this house. I believe November and it’s such a beautiful home up in the mountain rock area. It’s a one bedroom studio. It kind of reminds me of the standard the way they decorated it but having floor to ceiling windows in the kitchen area there’s all these bunnies running around and you’ve got roadrunners and you got the quail. I even had a little bobcat, walked by me and didn’t even disturb me when I was barbecuing. It’s really cozy. It’s set up really lovely and you get both a beautiful sunrise and a beautiful sunset. I’m very private.
U from Ventura - Review Date: 6/1/2026

It was magical. Surrounded by a crescent moon shape, giant rock formations. Night sky. Bunnies. Roadrunners. Coyotes. Kitchen was more equipped than 90% of Airbnb’s. They had foil. Blender. Basic spices. Britta water. This location has 24 hour communication via this app. Very professional. Quick to respond. First time ever being able to fit in a bathtub (6’4”). My girlfriend loved it. The openness of the windows and the decorative lighting in the distance from the neighbour’s, shooting stars… nuff said. Super quiet. No TV. Verizon mobile works great here.

As a last-minute break to Joshua Tree, we were very happy to discover this Home on Airbnb! The pictures are a little deceiving, the space is smaller internally, but it was definitely very manageable and rather than finding space for suitcases, etc. we just move things around. Also, the outdoor shower, on the particularly windy and cold day we were there, it wasn’t that appealing, but I imagine in warmer weather it would be really amazing The entire home was spotless, the amenities were perfect for romantic desert break! If you have an electric vehicle, be mindful that it is just a regular 110 outlet / there is a Rivian supercharger station properly 10 minutes away Would stay here again, purely for the location and peace and quiet.

It felt like a dream house. Although it was a small cabin set in the middle of nature and built without going against its surroundings, the comfortable details inside the house and on the patio were outstanding. There was some noise from the toilet on the first evening, but the host communicated smoothly and had it fixed the very next day. It was only a short two-day trip, but it’s a place that stays in my mind.

My only complaint….we didn’t stay long enough😂. This place is truly spectacular and we will definitely be back. Cozy and romantic. The setting is stunning. The house was clean and uncluttered, yet had everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. The outdoor living room plus fireplace was a lovely way to spend the evening. Bravo!

Amazing, relaxing space with such a beautiful backyard filled with boulders you can walk up to and explore. Lots of jackrabbits in the area hopping around. It was so nice to see them running about in the mornings when we’d put the blinds up.. The space is so cozy and beautiful and perfect for what we needed. The flow of the house is so unique and relaxing. So open so you never feel claustrophobic or trapped. One of my favorite airbnbs for sure. Would book again! One thing I would flag is to be careful when turning on the fireplace if the igniter is not working. We almost burned our hair turning the fireplace on lol.. But apart from that, all the amenities were 10/10.

Cynthia - Review Date: 1/1/2026

We had a lovely stay for 3 nights. The view of the boulders was stunning to have. We loved the fireplace at night and I was obsessed with the outdoor tub. Furniture and decor is stylish and just like the photos. The kitchen is very well equipped and works well for cooking. The place is much smaller than it looks in the photos, however. It's 366 square feet in total according to a spread about the place in a design book. The bed is only a few feet from the fridge and the plumbing makes a strange squealing sound anytime you use it. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are other properties very close to the house and there are not really any trails or hikes from the property. But Joshua Tree NP entrance is a very short drive away. Also, EV drivers should note that the charger is L1, and charges at 1.8kW. So it’s great for exploring the area, but if you are on a longer road trip, you should plan accordingly.

This was such a cozy home to stay at, with beautiful surroundings and close proximity to Joshua Tree. The area around the home shares some features with the park itself, including large boulders and Joshua trees. The location is perfectly private, while not being too far away from civilization and tourist attractions, providing the perfect balance between feeling secluded in nature and being able to easily acquire food/groceries (we even got groceries delivered)! The host is super responsive and helpful, the kitchen is fully stocked, and they provide plenty of towels. We were incredibly comfy staying here!

Super stunning place! Loved my stay here. It's really beautifully designed, the outdoor living area is amazing, I spent most of my time there in the evenings in front of the fire.

This is the first time I've stayed in Joshua Tree where there is an actually hot water bath outside and that was a lovely bonus. Highly recommend.

The cabin was very nice and the location beautiful and quiet, however the amenities that were listed (jacuzzi and pool) were not at the property. I feel the price was very high without having these amenities. The hosts were very responsive and tried to help remedy the situation by discounting the cost of my stay and allowing for a late checkout.

Thank you for staying with Homestead Modern, and taking the time to leave us a review. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience at the property, and we sincerely appreciate you sharing your concerns about the amenities. To clarify, the listing includes a 2-person outdoor hot/cold water soaking tub rather than a traditional hot tub or pool, and we understand how this may have caused some confusion. Your feedback has been passed to our operations team for immediate review so we can help prevent similar issues in the future. We truly hope to have the chance to host you again and provide a much better stay in Joshua Tree.

It was good! There were some things I wish I'd known. First, it's not that private. The house is 50 feet away from three other properties in any direction and an active construction site. Cars passed to get to the construction site while I was in the outdoor tub and the glass shower is in view of some guy's window. Other stuff is the blinds are really dirty and there isn't access to a Joshua Tree TRAIL. You can just walk onto an unidentified, unmarked corner of Joshua Tree.

The cabin is such a unique space and the location is epic. It's a little less slick than the images suggest due to some general wear and tear, but overall it's stunning. Communication and check-in was smooth and easy to understand.

Homestead Modern offered a beautifully comfortable, clean, and well equipped space. The views of the night sky were incredible, too. A great “base” for Joshua Tree exploration.

This Joshua Tree Airbnb was everything we hoped for—and a few things we didn’t know we needed. The location is spot-on. Far away enough from the hustle and buzzing but close enough to the nearby towns. The place was sparkling clean with amenities were top-notch: plush towels, fancy toiletries, and not a single mystery stain in sight. Our host? Basically the Airbnb version of a concierge wizard. We got detailed info before arrival, including a local gazette that was so good it should be framed. Thanks to it, we ended up at the Copper Room on Sunday, sipping cocktails and vibing to live jazz. Messaging was smooth with fast replies, zero stress, and no awkward “seen” left hanging. Would I stay again? Absolutely. Would I recommend it? Only to people who appreciate good vibes, clean spaces, and the occasional jazz-induced epiphany with the amazing natural beauty of Joshua tree at your backyard.

Location out of this world and perfect for alien watching ;)

The location was great, secluded and private! Watching the stars from the outdoor tub was extraordinary and out of this world. The outdoor patio with couch and fireplace was amazing, and probably spent the most amount of time there. Grocery store only 15 minute drive away, very coinvent. Also probably saw the most beautiful sunsets of my life here. Would love to come back. Everything was amazing, however the blinds were covered in dead bugs and dust which I didn't like, especially by the kitchen where we were cooking. Small detail.

one of my favorite airbnbs, ever. the home is integrated with the desert — highly recommend for solo travelers or couples, whether as a base to explore the park from, or as a space to reflect and recharge. the sunsets are long and beautiful, the mornings are peaceful and vibrant with birds singing. and the days — hot as they may be — are made cooler with the outdoor bath and shaded lounge. at night, the stars are out in abundance (just like the home’s amenities… big fan of the binoculars and boulder lighting). looking forward to coming back. also, the host was super responsive, proactive, and caring.

Such a sweet little cabin! You can tell every detail has been thought about from the design to the extra fans to the hiking sticks the magic is in the details. 10/10 view of the valley from the outdoor patio/overhang (which had a beautiful breeze unlike the crazy wind in a lot of the valley floor). My favorite part was the view of the amazing boulders both from inside and outside of the cabin (especially at night). Also really great for stargazing! I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this property for someone looking for a little studio style cabin get away. On that note, it is truly a studio floor plan, if significant indoor square footage is important to you this may not be the stay for you. Can’t wait for my next opportunity to stay! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I did mine.

This cabin is in a great location. It is close to the west entrance of Joshua Tree NP. The cabin is secluded enough to enjoy the peaceful, beautiful surroundings. The hosts left good instructions on how to find the cabin, so read them carefully because it is a bit tricky. If Joshua Tree is your destination, then this is a perfect place to serve as a home base.

Spent two nights here and it was such a beautiful little getaway - we never wanted to leave! Super comfy bed, and as you can see in the photos it’s beautifully decorated. Perfect for a romantic getaway, and as a home base to explore Joshua Tree national park from. We had dinner at The Copper Room in Yucca Valley one night, did a guided tour of Joshua Tree National Park with a desert ecologist, and spent the rest of the time just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful space/surroundings!

One of my favorite stays in Joshua Tree yet! The modernist cabin is a designer and nature enthusiast dream. Tucked privately into beautiful boulders on the backside of the national park, you feel like you have a slice of the park all to yourself. The outdoor living spaces are so magical. I loved morning coffee by the fire watching the sunrise over the boulders and taking long baths at sunset under starry skies. The location is ideal - 10 minutes into town - and yet you feel so private and tucked away. I can’t wait to come back!

The cabin was cute and cozy and had everything you’d need for a stay with plenty of thought and care. The huge window / sliding door by the bed (with retractable drapes for privacy) allowed for viewing of sunsets and sunrises from the bed itself, or stars during the night. The soaking tub was also very nice. The host was extremely responsive, friendly, and polite. I would certainly love to stay here again in the future.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect – close to JTNP, yet tucked away enough to provide peace and quiet. The host was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone!

Jake - Review Date: 7/29/2024

We came in late and woke up to an incredible wonderland. The integration of the Joshua Tree's otherworldly beauty and the interior beauty of the design and furniture quality woodwork was animated by birds (including Road Runners), lizards, coyotes, bugs of all sorts and bunnies all living their lives just outside the windows was a peak life experience.
All the creature comforts are there - and beyond- such as the shower and the two outside sitting areas.
Amazingly, we were there on a work trip, so didn't have the time to get into the tub - our loss. And speaking of work - the WiFi was up to snuff, there were plugs aplenty and workspace for two.
Very, very special.

What a beautiful property! We appreciated the high end touches, including the Jenn Air gas range, Parachute bed linens and nice towels.
The mid century furniture fit so well with the design of the cabin. the Bluetooth speaker was easy to use, and the shower is amazing.
Kitchen was well stocked and appreciated the ice maker in the freezer as well as the full Brita water filter in the fridge.
Check in and out were simple, no overbearing clean up duties. and the location can't be beat. We'd stay again in a heartbeat.

I had an amazing time here! The cabin looks exactly like the pictures and it was very clean. The surrounding landscape and nature is the best part. If you are looking for peace and solitude, this cabin is perfect for you. I’m going through a challenge in life right now so this cabin was a great escape to slow down and enjoy quietness and nature. The hosts were responsive when I reached out. Also the cabin is only a couple miles to downtown Joshua Tree or a 15 min drive to Yucca Valley so you are close to restaurants, bars and grocery stores. I’d 100% stay here again.
Ian - Review Date: 5/31/2024

Exactly what I needed/wanted!! An architecturally significant tiny home on the edge (literally) of Joshua Tree. Loved my peaceful time there. Amazing vistas and some animal friends (bunnies and quail with babies) running around. Perfectly stocked kitchen. Lovely bathroom and super cool outdoor shower. Really just like the photos. Hope to return before too long.

Nathan - Review Date: 5/22/2024

10/10. If you’re looking for a perfect little quaint get away for 2 in Joshua Tree, this is the perfect location. It’s secluded up on the top of the hill right next to the national park, imo it’s even better because you have the privacy and you have multiple rock mountains to climb right behind the house. The house itself was kinda small but it was honestly perfect since we didn’t spend that much time inside anyways. Clean linens, sheets, dishes, coffee maker and more. Definitely going to stay at this spot next I’m in town with my gf.

Ryan - Review Date: 5/5/2024

Seeing the photos online come to life was amazing - if you are not an early riser - be intentional and watch the sun come up from your bed and see the colors change across the rocks! Outdoor Shower - yes please!
Walking out your door and into the "backyard" - was special.
Advise stocking up all your food and goodies and NOT leaving this place during your stay (unless of course going into the park).
We sat outside most of the time - and both patio areas were relaxing and peaceful during the morning, afternoon and evenings.
Comfortable bed - accessible kitchen and simple modern decorative treatments just added to the peacefullness.
We will be back for sure - for sure!
Samuel - Review Date: 4/30/2024

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.
Brian - Review Date: 4/16/2024

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.
Jade - Review Date: 4/2/2024

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.

Julia - Review Date: 3/30/2024

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.

They did good job with lighting inside and around the house, especially light up some big boulders at night, good touch!

This home exceeded all expectations. The perfect location to enjoy Joshua Tree park. But there was so much to enjoy at the house it was hard to leave.

AND the most adorable rabbits play outside the window. Can’t wait to come back!

Absolute perfection!! I had a thrilling couple of days on a silent retreat to meditate and hike and this place was THE BOMB!! Outstanding postmodern design. Spacious yet cozy. High end living with the outdoor bath which could be 7 feet long! The fireplace outside was easy to use and the landscape lights were sublime- but that landscape is pure divine. My GOD! What a view from every room and right outside the door!! The peace and quiet were out of this world and the feng shui is on the money with beautiful sacred olive trees and cedar pines- Stocked kitchen and modern nice bathroom and floor to ceiling windows- sublime sublime sublime!!

A lovely place to spend a quiet desert weekend
Maida - Review Date: 8/13/2023

Good place to stay
Bishop - Review Date: 8/6/2023

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.
Kendall - Review Date: 7/23/2023

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.
Fernando - Review Date: 7/20/2023

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.

small but beautiful. Perfect for a romantic getaway. Thank you for having us!
Patricia - Review Date: 7/16/2023

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.
Charles - Review Date: 7/14/2023

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!
David - Review Date: 7/11/2023

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.
Barak - Review Date: 7/7/2023

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

Great home , peaceful and the kitchen was fully stocked with all necessities.
Will definitely return.
Jose - Review Date: 7/2/2023

One of the most asthetic places we’ve ever stayed! Perfect amount of privacy while not feeling too far from restaurants/stores.
Danielle - Review Date: 6/29/2023

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.
Lauren - Review Date: 6/27/2023

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.
Kyle - Review Date: 6/2/2023

Great modern cabin, looks just like the photos. A nice place to relax and loved the surroundings. Had everything needed to feel at home.
Richard - Review Date: 5/30/2023

Beautiful surroundings in a peaceful desert setting.
Kevin - Review Date: 5/23/2023

Second stay at this property, perfect again!

We couldn't stop thinking about our first visit here, and so made another trip just over a year later. We enjoyed the cabin as much if not more this time around, and hope to return yet again in the future. It's such a uniquely beautiful space that really makes the most of the incredible location. Service from the host is outstanding and makes a relaxing retreat as easy as can be. Highly recommended!
Steve L. - Review Date: 5/22/2023

Thank you so much, Steve! We hope we can host you a 3rd time!

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
Capri - Review Date: 5/14/2023

Loved our stay here! Such a beautiful spot. Will hopefully be back!
Cole - Review Date: 5/5/2023

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.
Mike - Review Date: 5/2/2023

Beautiful space, comfortable and very thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed. Having JoshuaTree park at our doorstep was incredible. We would absolutely stay again!
Jenny - Review Date: 4/26/2023

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.
Renee - Review Date: 4/20/2023

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

We felt privileged to stay in such a wonderfully designed little home. The surrounding landscape is unbelievably beautiful.
Lynn - Review Date: 4/12/2023

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!
Natalie - Review Date: 4/9/2023

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.
Lindsey - Review Date: 3/24/2023

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!
Barry - Review Date: 3/2/2023

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!!!
Anna - Review Date: 2/22/2023

Amazing place. Great to be able to walk into what feels like your own private piece of the park. Loved the outdoor spaces and decor.
Ashley - Review Date: 2/20/2023

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.
Christy - Review Date: 2/12/2023

Small but beautiful modern cabin. Very comfortable. Outdoor shower and tub were highlights, as well as drinking coffee in front of outdoor gas fireplace.
Ian - Review Date: 2/10/2023

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!!
Lisa - Review Date: 2/6/2023

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.
Grant - Review Date: 2/1/2023

absolutely stunning place, great host communication!
Fabian - Review Date: 1/24/2023

Fantastic location, and the house is just as good as the photos! Very satisfied!
Wesley - Review Date: 1/18/2023

Highlight of our trip, wonderful place!
Rebecca - Review Date: 1/10/2023

Exactly as described… Great spot, convenient to the park and town. Very private and secluded. Awesome couples retreat.
Sean - Review Date: 1/7/2023

What a magical spot above the valley with incredible views, surrounded by ancient rocks and plant life. We hope to return!
Rose - Review Date: 1/4/2023

I enjoyed my brief stay! Small, quaint, beautiful and clean setting. Loved it. Will book again!
Buck - Review Date: 12/27/2022

Stunning. Private. Cozy. Thoughtful.
Alexandre - Review Date: 12/22/2022

My friend and I loved the place! Was peaceful and private with a beautiful landscape. Loved the nod to 60s-70s style inside and out!
Lindsay - Review Date: 12/20/2022

the surrounding environment is beautiful and the outdoor bath is very nice. inside is a bit small but we booked it for the outside and got what we wanted.
Matt - Review Date: 12/19/2022

We had a wonderful time and it was exactly what we needed! Relaxing, great views, and private.
Adam - Review Date: 12/16/2022

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.
Paytn - Review Date: 12/13/2022

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.
Davy - Review Date: 12/12/2022

Very nice space situated with high sierras basically in your backyard. Overall very nice experience !
Julien - Review Date: 11/27/2022

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!
Christine - Review Date: 11/24/2022

Quiet, comfortable, and relaxing, we loved out stay.
Theresa - Review Date: 11/21/2022

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.
Frank - Review Date: 11/18/2022

Homestead Modern at Joshua Tree was the perfect dreamy escape we were looking for.
Theresa - Review Date: 11/17/2022

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!
Noboru - Review Date: 11/13/2022

Really enjoyed our stay! great place
Antonio - Review Date: 11/11/2022

Gorgeous property!
Shauna - Review Date: 11/9/2022

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!
John - Review Date: 11/9/2022

Everyone should get to experience an air bnb like this. Truly unique, a stunning location and fabulous design. 10 out of 10.
Luke - Review Date: 11/2/2022

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!
Judith - Review Date: 10/31/2022

This place was amazing perfect place to spend my birthday truly magical 10/10
Priscilla - Review Date: 10/27/2022

Perfect cabin for two people in a very, very cool location for relaxing and exploring. Would stay here again!
Julia - Review Date: 10/23/2022

I loved everything about this place. It’s a real jewel in the desert
Mark - Review Date: 10/20/2022

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.
Molly - Review Date: 10/9/2022

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!
Jaz - Review Date: 10/2/2022

well appointed, cozy, great framed views, good hiking out the back door. would definitely stay again.
John - Review Date: 9/30/2022

Beautiful location! Exploring right in our backyard was so fun, the shower is awesome!
Jessica - Review Date: 9/11/2022

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.
David - Review Date: 8/24/2022

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.
Katie - Review Date: 7/29/2022

Awesome place exactly as advertised!! Great view and privacy. Perfect for my wife and I. Will definitely be back!
Jose - 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.
Portia - Review Date: 7/19/2022

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!! 🤤🪩✨
Kacey - Review Date: 7/17/2022

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.
Stephanie - Review Date: 7/13/2022

Great spot!
Edith - Review Date: 7/10/2022

The most amazing air Bnb for a solo traveler or couple! Was designed perfectly and in the most incredible location. Loved it!
Cathy - Review Date: 7/8/2022

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!
Justin - Review Date: 7/2/2022

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!
Kolja - Review Date: 6/15/2022

Spectacular!
Angelica - Review Date: 6/12/2022

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!
Alejandro - Review Date: 6/8/2022

This little house is the perfect spot to escape and enjoy pure nature. It is very lovingly created and a lot of thoughtful and loving details. I loved loved loved it there.
Jutta - Review Date: 6/3/2022

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 :)

Such a magical time, an epic location to spend time in. Thank you!
Marina - Review Date: 5/27/2022

this place is everything it is promising from the pictures - and as you can see - they are AMAZING
Sebastian - Review Date: 5/20/2022

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!
Shahzad - Review Date: 5/17/2022

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.
David - Review Date: 5/15/2022

beautiful inside out!!
Khoa - Review Date: 5/12/2022

Perfect location and ideal property for two

This was our first visit to the area and we would definitely like to return, but it would be difficult to stay anywhere else! The views from the cabin and proximity to the national park are incredible and unmatched. Every part of this property was thoughtfully designed and the kitchen was very well appointed. And as others have said, the shower is not to be missed!
Steve L. - Review Date: 5/11/2022

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
Mathias Nyholm - Review Date: 5/5/2022

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.
Ted - Review Date: 5/2/2022

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!
Olivia - Review Date: 4/24/2022

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.
Thomas Friedrich - Review Date: 4/23/2022

Beautiful stay! Would definitely recommend!
Maximillian - Review Date: 4/18/2022

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.
Adam - Review Date: 4/8/2022

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!
Jamie - Review Date: 4/1/2022

Incredible place. I wish I could stay here forever. Loved it so much.
Anna - Review Date: 3/22/2022

Beautiful cabin in a hard-to-beat location.
Daniel - Review Date: 3/20/2022

We loved our stay here!! It was perfect. Beautiful views. Quiet and private. Close to the park entrance. We loved it!! And will definitely be back.
Courtney - Review Date: 3/15/2022

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
Caleb - Review Date: 3/7/2022

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.
Kristie - Review Date: 3/4/2022

This is the perfect Joshua Tree getaway, you have the whole night sky as your backyard and I guarantee you have never seen anything as breathtaking.
Daniel - Review Date: 2/23/2022

A unique and relaxing experience.
Karen - Review Date: 2/18/2022

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.
Max - Review Date: 2/11/2022

Everything was perfect and the place is amazing!
Ryan - Review Date: 2/8/2022

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
Lana Jay - Review Date: 2/4/2022

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.
Luis-Ferdinand - Review Date: 1/30/2022

Incredible location, house was even better than expected. Will definitely stay again!
Dominic - Review Date: 1/28/2022

Amazing location with exceptional boulders and views.
Raymond - Review Date: 1/10/2022

Many of the other reviews stated it better than I can, but this place was simply perfect on every level. No complaints at all. Would love to return here.
George - Review Date: 1/6/2022

Wonderful

Just as advertised
Lawrence D. - Review Date: 1/3/2022

This is a space made to clear your head. It was peaceful, scenic and secluded. The perfect getaway.
Kawn - Review Date: 12/30/2021

Highly recommend. Beautiful spot
Neel - Review Date: 12/26/2021

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;)
Christy - Review Date: 12/21/2021

This place was pure magic. My husband and I stayed for our 5th wedding anniversary. Neither of us are morning people...not even close...but we willingly got up each day to see the sun rise over the beautiful boulders and Joshua Trees right outside. The outdoor tub fit both of us perfectly (we're both under 5'9 feet tall), the partially outdoor shower was dreamy even in winter, and the house itself was just so, so cool. Very clean, hip, and well-stocked with cooking supplies. Overall, the experience was exactly what we needed after an overly jam-packed November. We felt peaceful, rejuvenated, and inspired by both the property and setting. Couldn't have asked for more, and will treasure the memories.
Kendall - Review Date: 12/18/2021

Amazing tucked away spot for anyone who wants to truly feel in the desert! Cozy and incredibly clean with amazing views and outside space-highly recommend!
Sadie - Review Date: 12/15/2021

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.
Ryan - Review Date: 12/13/2021

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!
Carley - Review Date: 12/5/2021

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.
Frankie - Review Date: 11/19/2021

Beautiful modern architecture surrounded by stunning beauty! An experience you will not forget.
Matthew Michael - Review Date: 11/14/2021

Awesome views of the rocks and the stars, very secluded and quiet, a perfect get away in Joshua Tree
Megan - Review Date: 11/12/2021

Great location! Bed is a little small
Douglas - Review Date: 11/7/2021

You can walk right into the park, or lie in bed and feel like you're already there. The connection to the outdoors, and framing of the views, are perfect.
Michael And Jessica - Review Date: 10/31/2021

The view never gets old, feed the bunnies and enjoy the stars.
Oleg - Review Date: 10/22/2021

Quiet, peaceful, and stunning property. The boulder light was a surprising touch. 10/10 would stay here again!
Patrick - Review Date: 10/17/2021

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.
Brian - Review Date: 10/15/2021

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!
Stephanie - Review Date: 10/11/2021

We had a perfect stay! Already planning our trip back
Lena - Review Date: 10/9/2021

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.

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.
Tiara - Review Date: 10/1/2021

Amazing place, spotless and everything you need. Waking up and looking out at the views of the dessert rocks was incredible. If you want a true Joshua Tree experience with out camping, this is as good as it gets!
Jennifer - Review Date: 9/26/2021

Great place to soak in Joshua Tree. Outdoor shower and bath are amazing!
Alexie - Review Date: 9/16/2021

Easy and quick communication. Everything we needed was there. Great stay!
Jiwon - Review Date: 9/14/2021

Amazing spot for a little getaway! Stayed two nights in this cabin. Stargazing was unreal, kitchen had everything to be able to cookout and make breakfast. Directions were spot on. Felt so secluded but easy to get into town. Will be back!
Haleigh - Review Date: 9/6/2021

What a gorgeous place! I almost didn’t bother to tour the Joshua national park as I was only there 3 days and couldn’t imagine somewhere with a better view all to myself! I did go to the park and it was wonderful so don’t miss it but being at this special cabin was amazing. I also loved the area it was in! Very authentic desert 🌵 experience to me. Don’t miss it!
Dee Ann - Review Date: 8/30/2021

Amazing site, calming cabin, and inspiring views!
Nick - Review Date: 8/27/2021

This was a very magical place to stay. I loved how remote it felt despite being close to the town. I saw “shooting stars” (aka a meteor shower), a coyote, rabbits, and numerous birds. It was easy to climb the rocks right in my backyard and lovely to take an indoor/outdoor shower or cool off in the outdoor dipping tub.
The communication of Homestead was great. I was able to check in late no problem.
Two notes: It’s a very small space. Very doable for one… and depending on the people, definitely doable for two. But the bed and kitchen are in the same room. And there is no microwave. You can reheat things on the stove easily if needed, though.
Bose sound system was a big plus!!
Lauren - Review Date: 8/16/2021

Incredible property. There is enough to see and do just at the property. Factor in everything else that is within a couple hours drive and this place is perfect.
Beautiful views. Loved it most at night. The stars, the silence, the wildlife. BOOK NOW. You will not regret.
Trevor - Review Date: 8/4/2021

This house is great! While it is expensive, I think it’s worth it solely for the amazing bathtub and shower. There’s a little area behind the house to explore. It may seem super secluded, and it relatively is but there are still houses that are closer than you would guess from the photos. I would love to come stay another weekend hands down.
Jules - Review Date: 7/18/2021

This place is amazing. Perfect location in Joshua tree.
Ross - Review Date: 7/16/2021

Amazing cabin with an incredible view. Great location if you’re visiting Joshua Tree!
Charles - Review Date: 7/14/2021

As described. Incredible views. Clean as you would expect. Classy design and decor.
Philip - Review Date: 7/12/2021

Amazing stay in an amazing place! While this stay is a little pricy, I'd say it's really worth it from function to vibe. The outdoor/indoor shower is an amazing place to feel a part of nature any time of the day (especially at night with the lights shining on the rocks outside). Fully loaded with anything you'd need from the kitchen to the bathroom. Great location close to the Joshua West or North entrance to the park, but still isolated enough to feel private. Walk right off the porch to the outdoors and exploring with lots of wildlife right around the house. Plenty cool with a great AC system. Would highly recommend!
Jackson - Review Date: 6/27/2021

Perfect little home for the perfect little vacation! The views are insane and you can get into the park just by exploring the backyard. They have a stash of rabbit food at the back of the cabin - def toss a scoop out, the rabbits will come and hangout with you!
Erica - Review Date: 6/25/2021

This stay was stellar! And im not even talking about the sky ;)
The location is on top of the hill so the views of the desert are amazing.
The place is cute, modern, well equipped and well organized and very comfortable. The kitchen is huge, which we loved. The outside shower is definitely one of the best features of the house ; a warm shower in the desert breeze was just amazing and unique.
Rabbits came to eat the food that we put out so that was a nice little visit.
We didnt really venture that much around as we wanted to relax, but did some exploring around the house and it was beautiful. You’re literally in the park!
Communication was great and fast, which made our stay so much better.
Highly recommend this place for a quick, cozy, and memorable getaway.
Thank you so much for the stay!
Magali - Review Date: 6/20/2021

I can’t say enough about this space. It’s epic! The tub, the shower, and the access to the park are unmatched. I was looking for a place to be alone and I couldn’t have asked for more.
The space is clean and fully appointed. I highly recommend this space
Alejandro - Review Date: 6/9/2021

I'm Speechless. This property is insane!!! You have a piece of the park all to yourself!!
Stunning Beauty all around 360 degrees of it......
We had the most amazing time exploring and watching all the views, and the stars at night from the hot bathtub. We cannot wait to return!!
The cabin, the grounds, the property, just WOW!! Thank you so much for having us!!!

Wonderful and magical place to get away. The hosts were very thoughtful and accommodating down to every last detail.
Meredith - Review Date: 6/1/2021

Nestled right up to beautiful boulders. So clean and completely quiet and peaceful. The shower is to die for. Loved our stay
Isabella - Review Date: 5/29/2021

If you're in JT and there's availability, this place is AMAZING!! You will love everything and every minute you get to spend here.
Lexi - Review Date: 5/21/2021

insanity! my husband and i booked a last minute mini-moon and couldn’t be happier with this special place.
you are literally INSIDE the park! surrounded by nature and so relaxing. we used the tub every day to enjoy a morning coffee/evening glass of wine and beat the heat.
it was the perfect place for two people trying to enjoy joshua tree’s vibes and each other’s company.
Allison - Review Date: 5/19/2021

We had a great time at Homestead Modern! It’s a quaint modern cabin right on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. You truly can’t get a better location than this - the house is right on the edge of the park, with awesome views of the rocky landscape! It feels very private, too. We really enjoyed the lounge chairs outside and the outdoor shower, and the kitchen was very well stocked! We had some minor issues with our lights, but the host was very responsive and offered to send someone out right away. This Airbnb was certainly on the more expensive side, especially given how small the house was, but the location and indoor / outdoor feel make it worth it! Great way to experience Joshua Tree!!
Alexandra - Review Date: 5/16/2021

This place is absolutely incredible!After a delicious dinner with incredible views, I proposed to my beautiful Fiancé under the starry night sky by the lit Joshua tree and Boulder out back. It is the perfect getaway destination:) We wished this stay could’ve lasted longer!
Aviel - Review Date: 5/2/2021

Beautiful surroundings
Carole - Review Date: 4/25/2021

One of the best places we have stayed. Can’t recommend it enough!
Dave - Review Date: 4/20/2021

Great place to stay for a 2 day trip exploring Joshua tree!
Mark - Review Date: 4/16/2021

What a wonderful escape this little cabin was! I felt so far removed from the everyday busyness of life—it was perfect! It’s the perfect size for an individual to just hang out and be alone (like I was) or for an intimate stay for a couple — plan on booking in the future for my husband and I to escape to.
The outdoor shower situation was breathtaking. Being able to shower while you’re looking out onto the desert is almost otherworldly.
The house is furnished with all you need to be comfortable, and its location being so close to the National Park is perfection—It feels like you’re actually staying in the Park.
Highly recommend for any solo or couple’s retreat.
Arthur - Review Date: 4/14/2021

An extremely relaxing spot with some great views of the desert, and some awesome hikes from the cabin if you are feeling adventurous. The weather was awesome in mid March, cool breeze flowed right through the space. Felt as much like a mini spa retreat as a cabin in the desert.
Cody - Review Date: 3/21/2021

We had a fun relaxing stay. It’s perfect for a nature getaway. The rabbits living around are quite curious and a complete joy to watch while staring out north or south. 360 views, from inside and outside. The place was also close to Joshua Tree and groceries and restaurants. Highly recommend staying here! Can’t wait to come back!
Ashwin - Review Date: 3/15/2021

Location, location, location! Fantastic spot tucked in a one of a kind place, a stones throw from the park. Everything you need for a sweet break from the hustle and bustle. Refreshing, clean, revitalizing. Geology, wildlife, botany a few steps out the door.
Robert - Review Date: 3/12/2021

This place is fabulous. Very clean. The outdoor shower was awesome and even when the temperature outside was a brisk 40 degrees, the shower was nice and warm. The bed was comfortable and the house came with an extra blanket if needed. We felt the temperature of the house was perfect and did not need to turn on the heat even when the outside was in the 40s(and I turn the heat on all the time at home as I run cold). The kitchen had the basic pots pans and utensils needed. Bring any spices as there were none included. The Bose sound system was great! Easy to connect to. We had great WiFi connection too. The house is very quiet and a great place to get away. Communication with management company was easy and response time was very quick - my experience was that I usually received responses within 30 minutes or less. Highly recommend this place.
Karen - Review Date: 3/3/2021

Our stay was restorative and peaceful, just what we needed. The cabin is located in our favorite part of Joshua Tree, located very close to town or the park entrance. Perfect for couple or single occupancy. The bunnies were a highlight every day!
Sarvia - Review Date: 2/26/2021

Amazing stay at a truly special place. Beautiful design and spectacular location.
The hosts are so thoughtful and accommodating. Loved every second we were there and would love to go back soon!

This is a wonderful, magical place and the management was incredibly responsive and helpful. We would stay here again.
Mary R. - Review Date: 1/31/2021

LOVED IT. BEST AIRBNB THERE IS!!!!
Bret - Review Date: 1/12/2021

This AirBnB is a gem. It's nestled RIGHT next to Joshua Tree National Park with 360 degree views of nature. I honestly don't think you'll find a better located home. The house is small, but was totally fine for 2 women. However, I could see the bed being a little tight for anyone of a larger build. This AirBnB was also one of the cleanest homes I've stayed in & I find that I'm pretty anal when it comes to cleanliness. Everything in the house was great quality too - sheets had high threadcount, really quality soap, cookingware and coffee were all top notch. These thing aren't necessary, but they're nice touches and really made this place stand out from others.
There are a ton of adorable animals nearby, great if you want to catch some wildlife and still be indoors.
I will say - this might not be the place for you if you're trying to work remotely. The wifi was sufficient for general googling, but I had to take one work call & it was a bit of a struggle. To be honest though, it was a blessing to not have strong wifi as it forces you to enjoy the location.
Definitely recommend booking, don't think I'll look to stay anywhere else the next time I visit again.
Miranda - Review Date: 1/8/2021

This is a superb location to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of the Joshua Tree area. The house's design allows for spectacular views in every direction. While small, the house allows for a comfortable stay with a fully stocked kitchen, and enough storage to handle one's needs. One can literally walk out the door of this house and be in spectacular wilderness, and within about a 30 minute walk, be inside Joshua Tree National Park but away from the crowds seen in the more popular areas of the Park. If you are looking for a spot that allows you to appreciate fresh air, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets and a sky full of stars, this location will meet your needs.
John - Review Date: 1/3/2021

This house is the PERFECT ROMANTIC GETAWAY! The house is immersed in Joshua Tree nature. My husband and I took a mini honeymoon vacation away from the city and this house was magical. We felt relaxed, comfortable, and like we never wanted to leave. The outdoor/indoor shower was insanely gorgeous, and the outdoor space is incomparable especially to view the stars at night. We can’t wait to come back! This is a huge win!
Cindy - Review Date: 12/30/2020

Such a beautiful place in a perfect location. We hiked straight out of the backyard since it’s right on the edge of the National Park.
Butch - Review Date: 11/29/2020

Perfect place for a romantic getaway.
Sam - Review Date: 11/12/2020

Do not hesitate and book this place! This beautiful, quiet homestead with its perfect location left us speechless. We have stayed at our fair share of airbnbs, but no other has left us in complete awe as this one did. The location is insanely beautiful. We felt like we had a piece of Joshua Tree all to ourselves, and rightfully so. The cabin itself is beautiful, inside and out. Very clean, which made us happy. The patio was such a treat for star-gazing. The lights on the boulders and trees was such a perfect touch to this place. The outdoor/indoor shower was the best part. Nothing like getting up early, taking a hot shower with spectacular desert views. We are definitely bookmarking this homestead for future stays. Thank you for providing such a magical place to stay in one of our favorite places in the world.
Nancy - Review Date: 11/6/2020

It was a dreamscape. The windows with the views have legit Natural History museum diorama vibes. The bed is small but perfect for a solo trip. Loved it.
Summer - Review Date: 10/29/2020

Cabin is as advertised. Great, quiet weekend getaway. Would stay again.
Ryan - Review Date: 10/26/2020

Excellent space. Better than the description.
John - Review Date: 10/23/2020

This place is a gem! The location is so incredibly serene and relaxing, and very easy to pop over to downtown Joshua Tree or Yucca Valley. My husband and I stayed for 3 nights and we really enjoyed the trip. It’s a tight space, but it’s actually very comfortable. And the outdoor shower is even more magical than it looks! There were definitely some bugs and ants around, so I recommend putting food in the refrigerator/in airtight containers to keep the critters out.
Savanna - Review Date: 10/12/2020

This tiny cabin sure packs a big punch! Beautifully styled, thoughtfully appointed, spotlessly clean and the views in every direction are spectacular. John was a great host. Everything was well explained and he was very helpful and quick to respond to my questions. It's the perfect place to literally get away from it all. I wish I could have stayed longer!
Kim - Review Date: 10/8/2020

Gorgeous setting, beautiful space! Didn't need a couch bc of the covered patio. When we were not exploring during the day the ac was an oasis. Truly stunning location and the plethora of large windows made it feel like you were in the park, even inside. Easy to town and the park.
Keely - Review Date: 10/1/2020

This place is fantastic! Exactly how it looks in the pictures. It was very clean and we felt very safe being there. The property is beautiful. Very quiet and secluded. The outdoor cowboy tube was a great touch!! The cell service was great at the house, I didn’t even connect to the wifi. Check in was very easy. Would definitely recommended staying at this property!! Thank you!!
Tricia - Review Date: 9/24/2020

Wonderful stay. Highly recommend! Can't say enough about the view and the all glass windows surrounding you. We had a fun, peaceful, incredible time! Can't wait to visit again soon.

My husband and I had the most amazing time at this Airbnb we are absolutely in love with it. Perfect view, super cute place with all the amenities we could need. I can’t find one thing wrong about this place!! definitely will be back
Sam And Jackie - Review Date: 8/13/2020

A true gem and well worth the splurge. Very thoughtful in design, peaceful, and beautiful. The shower and tub were just as amazing as they look. You will not be disappointed with your stay.
Holly - Review Date: 8/10/2020

Really great place to stay for a quiet weekend away. The desert area behind the unit is perfect for evening walks.
Luke - Review Date: 8/6/2020

Excellent desert escape.
Exactly as described.
Definitely will be back.
Nicola - Review Date: 7/30/2020

Staying at The Modernist’s Cabin was such a wonderful experience. The outdoor bathtub and the indoor/outdoor shower made for an incredibly relaxing trip. The views of the beautiful dessert boulders and star gazing from relaxing in the tub were some of the highlights of our weekend. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay here and plan to return in the future!
Kristina - Review Date: 7/26/2020

Fantastic spot on the northern border of Joshua Tree. It has great views of the sunset and stars and its own rock and tree you can light up at night. About a 15-20 min drive to the West Entrance, a great place to use as home base to explore Joshua Tree National Park. The unit is clean and modern and made for a great vacation escape. Wife and I loved staying here! Highly recommend!
Brian - Review Date: 7/23/2020

This house and location is gorgeous and perfect! Located on the boarder of Joshua Tree National Park. From the house to 2 of the entrances is less than 5 minutes. The shower alone made me want to come back to this home! It was fantastic and thank goodness for the AC! I would highly suggest this home to a couple looking to get away for the weekend! Gorgeous views and the best sunset I have ever seen. The floor to ceiling windows make this space feel open and like the desert comes into the home.
Heather - Review Date: 7/19/2020

This is possibly one of the best rentals I've ever had. Beautifully designed, gem of a house situated in the most ideal setting imaginable. I don't think you could get any better views if you were inside the park. Every amenity was thought of, every convenience has been taken care of in the house. It's a tiny footprint of a house, but the open windows to views that are unparalleled make it feel very open. Imagine a private 5 star hotel room in Joshua Tree Park. Best indoor/outdoor shower ever. Spectacular spot. Incredible hosts.
Peter - Review Date: 7/12/2020

The location of the house is truly amazing— the desert is your backyard and there is nothing between you and nature! Wild bunnies, quails and lizards accompany you as you watch the amazing boulders in your own private space! The interiors are simple but just want you need.
Stefanie - Review Date: 7/6/2020

Great location and awesome experience
Stephanie - Review Date: 7/2/2020

We had an amazing stay at the Modernist cabin. From the beautiful scenery, proximity to JTNP, to the outdoor shower and cowboy tub, this is the real deal. We can’t wait to stay here again!
Ja Eun - Review Date: 6/30/2020

This place was great - they have everything you can expect and more. The location is awesome - super close to Joshua Tree "downtown" and right on the edge of the park. Everything is very clean and thoughtfully designed. The outdoor tub was awesome and easy to use. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there.
Sonja - Review Date: 6/26/2020

Excellent location for a quick remote getaway!
Daniel - Review Date: 6/18/2020

Beautiful, quaint place for 2 people!
Definitely stylish as expected and location was perfect.
One tip: be careful of crickets and moths at night time when opening any windows or doors.
Hye Min - Review Date: 6/14/2020

No detail was left out in the construction and design of this space. It’s serene and private. It is a quiet and romantic. We’ve been twice and will be back again.
Chandra Lee - Review Date: 6/11/2020

This cabin was absolutely amazing, stylish, and clean. We enjoyed every aspect of the trip. The outdoor shower in the morning was such an amazing touch to experience and the cowboy tub was a must for everyday and one soaking every night. Thank you
David - Review Date: 6/8/2020

Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get away for a few days. The outdoor space is so ideal. The tub, outdoor/ indoor shower, lounge chairs — is what was the highlight for me. Also loved the fact there was a Bluetooth connection for playing music. Had a great time!!

Lucia - Review Date: 3/19/2020

An incredible rental that we’ll never forget. Great for 1-2 people who want to disconnect from it all and enjoy the desert. Would rent again.
Doug - Review Date: 3/17/2020

Incredible spot in J tree, easy access to the park, totally serene, incredible location and views. Would definitely recommend
Nico - Review Date: 3/15/2020

Dreamy little place with fabulous architecture in the most incredible setting. The backyard is Joshua tree park, in an area called the wonderland of rocks - it’s spectacular. You can walk for miles on trails right out the back door, though if you go far you'll want good route finding skills - it’s an enormous maze of trails. The house is just the right size for a couple- like a beautiful shell that holds you. It was lovely.
Leslie - Review Date: 3/9/2020

Beautiful property and amazing location. Really special experience!
Alyssa - Review Date: 3/6/2020

My wife and I were the very first guests at the Modernist Cabin a number of years ago. We had wanted to return many times but work schedules prevented us from doing so. Finally, we spent three glorious days and night last week at the cabin. To our surprise, nothing had changed. It was in the same great condition as our initial stay and met all our expectations of cleanliness, comfort, and compatibility. And that's just indoors! The outside natural environment is still extraordinary and an accurate representation of the high desert experience. The outdoor cowboy tub and the semi-outdoor shower doesn't hurt either!
Day and night, our stay was filled with great joy and satisfaction. We wish we could live there!
Theo - Review Date: 2/22/2020

STUNNING! I think the biggest compliment you can give any airbnb is "not wanting to leave". We had planned on exploring JT restaurants, shops, and hikes but enjoyed the setting and home so much we canceled our plans, went grocery shopping and stayed at the home the entire weekend. The setting is absolutely gorgeous and peaceful. We hiked directly from our back yard, enjoyed many visits from bunnies, and soaked in the cowboy tub. Very romantic, restoritive, and serene. We will return!
Billy - Review Date: 2/18/2020

Don’t think twice on this one. What a fabulous few days to relax and enjoy the desert. I did a solo trip for my birthday and could not have been happier. The quiet, night sky, nature all around - just what I wanted. I felt isolated enough without being totally cut off. There are several homes within sight but no activity and no way to interfere with fabulous outdoor showers and evening tub time.
The cabin was incredibly clean, well appointed, and just right. I did not want for a thing. I grab simple groceries on my way in through 29 Palms and didn’t need to shop again. Just spent my time hiking, laying in the sun, taking outdoor baths (I’m afraid I used more than my share of the water in the desert), and reading under the stars.
Christy - Review Date: 2/14/2020

A perfect, peaceful cabin with direct access to the park. It is really set up for one or maybe two people if you can share the relatively small bed, but if you want to be in JT alone and really feel the place, this beautiful little modern cabin is absolutely perfect.
Steve - Review Date: 2/11/2020

Beautiful cabin set in a gorgeous location near the park!! We will be back for sure!!
Stephanie - Review Date: 2/3/2020

Beautiful space with equally beautiful location and views.

Small stylish cabin in a great secluded location. Amazing views.
Ed - Review Date: 1/25/2020

Incredible location, space and experience - I've been staying here for years and it's always a joy to come back to. This time there was an issue (a cleaning one - they were in between cleaners) but they sorted it out extremely fast and were very easy to deal with about it. Looking forward to coming back.
Julia - Review Date: 1/23/2020

THE PLACE TO STAY IN JOSHUA TREE! The location of the house was perfectly perfect at the top of the hill with an amazing view of huge boulders and trees with little bunnies hopping around as your backyard. My time in the tub was awesome with a glass of wine to enjoy the beautiful view and the stars at night. I recommend this gem to anyone!! .
Karla - Review Date: 1/19/2020

From a cottontail welcome committee in the morning to an owl calling as you soak under the stars in the cowboy tub, resident wildlife will visit if you sit still. And being still comes easily at this serene escape. An incredible location right on the edge of the park means unobstructed sunsets, privacy, and ever-changing light on the geology theatre. This “little house on the rocks” is well-equipped for home cooking, supplied with local guidebooks, and solid wifi. Hard to leave!
Mary - Review Date: 1/16/2020

Beautifully and simply decorated. Quiet, lovely space. A gem.
Lisa - Review Date: 1/8/2020

This is one of my favorite Airbnb experiences of all time. This house is literally right on the edge of Joshua Tree, located at the very edge of the neighborhood. Your backyard becomes a National Park if you walk far enough back. This is basically my ideal setup for a rental and it's not easy to find something like this. Thanks for a great experience.
Jeremy - Review Date: 12/27/2019

This is THE place if you are looking to feel like you are in the park. Great location at the end of the road right up against the park. Stylish space with everything you need. The views from every angle are terrific - including the outdoor shower! Easy keyless check-in. Very clean. Feeding the bunnies every morning a bonus. Note, per the description, it is a compact space, so make sure it's what you're looking for.
Alexandra - Review Date: 12/25/2019

What a great place to stay! John and Clea have done a great job with the house and it blends in perfectly with the outdoors. We were blown away by the views. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to enjoy Joshua Tree.
Maxwell - Review Date: 12/15/2019

John & Clea were lovely hosts, and I appreciated the thoughtfulness that went into creating this space. This oasis in the desert is so special, and it was truly the peaceful retreat surrounded by nature that I was hoping to experience. The outdoor shower is something extraordinary and a beautiful touch to such an elegantly efficient abode - I would enjoy staying here anytime!
Chauncey - Review Date: 12/10/2019

Had a great time here, so awesome how close it is to the park. Felt like we we had no one around us for miles
Jeff - Review Date: 12/2/2019

Great location right by Joshua Tree town and the natural park.
Nick - Review Date: 11/30/2019

Beautiful place for a beautiful weekend. Everything ran smoothly and we got to enjoy a very relaxing couple days without any hassle. We’ll be going back soon!
Georgios - Review Date: 11/25/2019

Wow. I’ve stayed at Joshua tree before but never anywhere as brilliant as John + Clea’s. Honestly perfect in every way. The location was just magical, sitting outside and watching the little rabbits each evening, and exploring the rocks towards the back, just amazing. Great communication and advice, beautiful space filled with local art, and we both loved the soaking tub. Such fun. Will definitely be back next time!
Clayton - Review Date: 11/19/2019

What a wonderful place, its just perfect for exploring Joshua Tree. The house and the surroundings were so great that we rushed back every afternoon to watch the sun set and feed the rabbits. Thanks for sharing this wonderful home, we'll be back

Great mid-century style cabin at a great and unique location. Highly recommendable for all seeking tranquility and nature.
Alexander - Review Date: 10/20/2019

Style and a location that can’t be beat. It is small and minimal,but it’s got everything you need.
Jeffrey - Review Date: 10/14/2019

Perfect Airbnb! Location, amenities, style were all exceptional. Beautifully designed modern space balanced with a cosy and wildlife feel. Encountered a lot of bunnies and birds daily which brought loads of smiles/laughter and comfort to our overall experience.
Definitely worth the visit!

Great spot. Loved the outdoor tub. And the bunnies!! Great to be able to explore right out the back.

Awesome place and hosts ! Would recommend to anyone.
Stephen - Review Date: 9/29/2019

I booked this as a surprise for my partner and it was everything we hoped for and more. She couldn’t stop gushing about how much she loved the place and location. I may have missed it in the description, but the boulder and tree lights were such a cool touch! We definitely hope to come back again
Jessica - Review Date: 9/15/2019

We had a lovely two nights at the Modern Cabin. Beautiful sunrises & sunsets, and lots of stars in the sky at night. We would have loved to stay longer as it’s a great jumping off point for exploring Joshua Tree National Park which is breath taking. We highly recommend cooling down in the outdoor bath, after a hot morning hiking in the desert!

We had the most wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy and functional. The hosts were thoughtful and easy to communicate with. And we even had little bunnies greeting us in the morning :) will definitely be back!

Great space & great location! Perfect little cabin for a weekend away in Joshua Tree. Loved it!
Madeline - Review Date: 8/25/2019

We had an amazing time at the Modernist house, everything was perfect and this comfort was much appreciated after day in Joshua tree! View is unique, Location is good, house fully equipped and very comfortable.
Noémie - Review Date: 8/17/2019

This place was great! It was very modern and clean, and felt like the perfect little getaway. The bunnies on the property were very cute! The bunny feed was such a great and thoughtful touch. Would gladly come back!
Megan - Review Date: 8/13/2019

Lovely space with an amazing view! Somehow the pictures, which are accurate, don’t do the view justice. It feels like you’re in Joshua Tree but can cook and take amazing outdoor showers and baths. Highly recommend!
Genevieve - Review Date: 7/20/2019

What a lovely little getaway. We truly enjoyed our stay here at the cabin. Loved seeing the wild quails, cotton tail bunnies, squirrels and birds. The cabin had everything we needed. Simple and perfect. Thank you John & Clea!
Monica - Review Date: 7/15/2019

John and Clea’s cabin is a peaceful, beautiful getaway. It’s comfortable and well-appointed with everything you might need. We enjoyed the stunning view and watching the bunnies around the cabin. The outdoor shower and tub were wonderful. Also, they were very responsive to our questions. We would highly recommend staying here!!
Amy - Review Date: 7/8/2019

This simple and stylish home in a stunning location is like a dream. It was so magical that we only left once to explore the National Park. John and Clea were so quick with responses and we can’t wait to visit again.
Prairie - Review Date: 6/27/2019

We loved staying at John & Clea’s. The location is incredible, close enough and convenient to town with nothing but national forest as your backyard. The mostly outdoor shower and cowboy tub were definitely highlights of my trip. I’d suggest this place to anyone in the area looking for relaxation, romance or just a comfortable, clean place to sleep!
Renee - Review Date: 6/24/2019

This is a special home and location. Every detail of this cozy cabin is pure design perfection... the windows highlighting the surroundings, the outdoor shower, seeing the moon rise from the bed, the shaded lounge area... it was perfection for a romantic and relaxing week.
We loved seeing the wildlife from the patio - the jack rabbits, road runners, desert cottontail bunnies, lizards, quail families, doves, crickets and beautiful desert ants hard at work. Our favorite moment was drinking a bottle of champagne while watching the day turn into night on the patio while bunnies snacked in the sand, with Joshua tree national park as the backdrop. BREATHtaking.
It was magical and we will be back.
Chandra Lee - Review Date: 6/21/2019

We had a wonderful stay in this very unique place and enjoyed every minute especially the outdoor ablutions! Very peaceful and an amazing spot to watch the wildlife.

The location and view is absolutely beautiful. The house is super clean and the amenities are great! The property was a huge component of a wonderful trip overall. We have already recommended this place to our friends. Thanks John & Clea!

This place is fantastic. You’ll love it.
Lucian - Review Date: 5/24/2019

Amazing place on the border to the national park. Comfortable and modern designed living. Highly recommended. Thank you for a great stay!
Elin - Review Date: 5/19/2019

John & Cleas place were absolutely insane. The house is light flooded with big windows on all sides. The view is so cool, we can see thousands of stars even from the bed! I thinks its a photographers paradise. Its located near the small town of joshua tree, but in a really quiet location directly boarded to joshua tree national park. There are hills and some joshua trees behind the house and you can walk from there directly in the np. The outdoor bathtub is awesome to cool down after a hot and sunny day! The house is fully equipped with everything you need. Just perfect.
David - Review Date: 5/14/2019

Christian - Review Date: 4/29/2019

Such a lovely piece of paradise. A quick and easy commute to Joshua Tree but isolated enough for a break. A gorgeous little place and lovely hosts. The place was also stocked with all you could need for a few days away.
Caroline - Review Date: 4/25/2019

Gorgeous location at the Northern border of Joshua tree national park! Quiet, peaceful. The cabin warmed up nicely during the day so we didn't even have to use the heat on the cool nights.
Wonderfully appointed interior. Perfect for 2 people.
Karen - Review Date: 4/17/2019

John and Cleo’s place is just as described. It was a wonderful getaway with beautiful surroundings!
Jessica - Review Date: 3/28/2019

John and Clea's Modernist Cabin was magical! We had a wonderful stay in style. The location is magnificent, we hiked into Joshua Tree on foot. Such a beautiful adventure!
Julia - Review Date: 3/22/2019

My husband and I loved John and Clea’s beautiful home. It was the perfect size for two. We enjoyed watching the jack rabbits and cotton tailed bunnies hop around the property and the outdoor shower was awesome. Highly recommend this gem of a spot. So close to Joshua Tree (technically right outside) but also a short drive to the main park entrances. We hope to have the chance to come back!
Emily - Review Date: 3/19/2019

The modernist cabin provided us with all the modern comforts we were accustomed to (AC, heater, full kitchen) while allowing us to enjoy the unique landscape of Joshua Tree (outdoor shower, soaking tub and feeding the wild bunnies!) Such a fun place, I would definitely stay here again.
Tracy - Review Date: 3/10/2019

Thanks for letting us know, Tracy! Had no idea. I will look into that right away.
Homestead Modern, LLC staff

John and Clea's place was amazing! Just as advertised and more beautiful and peaceful than I could imagine. The outdoors areas were great to hang out in both during the day and at night to stargaze. The indoor was well appointed and cozy. I am looking forward to another stay here in the future.
Cynthia - Review Date: 3/4/2019

This place is great, the logistics of checking in are explained very well and it was easy to do.
Great views, lovely surroundings.
The architecture and design is great.
Perfect for a couple.
Rahul - Review Date: 2/28/2019

Amazing location and space! Honestly better than the photos... will be back
David - Review Date: 2/21/2019

I've camped Joshua Tree a handful of times, but this was the first time I airbnb'd it. While camping has it perks, staying at John and Clea's home certainly raised the bar. The home is just as beautiful as pictured. the scenery is astounding, and the convenience is unparalleled! kitchen is well stocked with spices, oil, coffee, tea, cocoa, and all the pots/pans/utensils two people will ever need. the highlight of the house is definitely the outdoor shower and cowboy tub. I'd advise not to shower at night when the winds pick up and the sun is down because it gets very cold with the windchill, but shower at sunset or sunrise with the view of the park is well worth the slightly higher booking cost. Also recommend picking up some epsom salts or bath bombs for the cowboy tub. there was more than enough room for two people. overall it was an amazing house and experience, will definitely be back next year!
Joseph - Review Date: 2/18/2019

Amazing place! We loved it!
Brandon - Review Date: 2/9/2019

We literally could not have had a better stay. The cabin is beautiful and perfectly stocked. The semi-outdoor shower was a fun surprise, and we made ample use if the cowboy tub. And the view was EVERYTHING! We'll be back...hopefully for the Big Bloom next year Thank you so much.
Rachelle - Review Date: 2/3/2019

John & Clea's place is super for a weekend trip to Joshua Tree! The house is not only in a great location (you have a national park in your backyard), but also well designed and spotless. A great plus is the outdoor shower with views of the park (it is warm enough for all year round use)!
Renia - Review Date: 1/29/2019

This is one of the coolest Airbnb’s we have stayed in!
The home itself is great. It had all the basics and more in the kitchen, that allowed us to prepare and cook meals when we didn’t feel like going out.
We started each morning on the front patio chairs having coffee and breakfast while looking out at the stunning yard. Then ended the day with a soak in the back patio tub watching the sunset. It was the perfect way to sandwich a fun and busy day in the park. Not to mention, the location was perfect! It was approximately 15-25 minutes from either park entrance, as well as a variety of cute restaurants and shops. If you’re debating whether or not to book it, pull the trigger. We had an amazing time and really lucked out finding this space.
John & Clea were very responsive and made the whole experience a breeze. We cannot wait to come back. Thank you for having us!
Nina - Review Date: 1/22/2019

I stayed at John & Clea's place with my boyfriend. It is MAGICAL. Its nestled right up against the park so you wake up to 360 incredible views & bunnies hopping around the property. We will definitely be coming back.
Shannon - Review Date: 1/14/2019

simply amazing. perfectly situated and appointed. we had an amazing stay. the great sound system and outdoor shower added to the experience. love!!!
Eliza - Review Date: 1/10/2019

Both the home and the scenery are beautiful! The location is extremely quiet and peaceful. John and Clea were great hosts and were very easy to communicate with. All in all, it was a great experience!
Madeline - Review Date: 1/4/2019

Nice small quiet cabin like home right on the edge of the NP. Thought the shower would be very cold since we were there in December with highs in the 50s and lows near 30s however it was fine day and night. (If you like hot showers). Lots of amenities, including basic cooking ingredients. Overall was a good stay, wouldnt pay the same price to do it again though. Slightly expensive for a longer stay
Anthony - Review Date: 1/1/2019

This is one of the best Airbnb's I've had the pleasure of staying at. Incredible views from every angle of the cabin and to be able to experience the peace & beauty of Joshua Tree right from the backyard. The outdoor shower and tub were also really nice touches and made the overall experience one to remember. Thanks again and we'll be back soon!
Shaun - Review Date: 12/25/2018

Clean, modern small house with Joshua Tree National Park as the backyard. While the full-size bed may be a bit small for many couples, we really enjoyed this place. It has a very functional kitchen with an excellent range/oven and nice peninsula to use as an informal eating area, cooking prep space, or laptop work area. The outdoor shower was delightful: even though the nights were chilly in December, the warm water was plentiful. The house is at the end of a dirt road that is very sandy and rutted in spots, so a vehicle with a bit of ground clearance is advisable, but 4wd is not necessary. The setting is spectacular, with nighttime views of the lights of Joshua Tree to the north and beautiful granite rock formations and desert flora to the south. The house has great windows that let in lots of light, and it is thus a very cheerful place to hang out, and the proximity to the park entrance and the delightful Crossroads Cafe were things we valued highly.
Paul - Review Date: 12/18/2018

A hidden gem right next to Joshua Tree. Quiet, elegant, and perfect for a nice weekend away. Great hosts, super responsive, and the amenities were outstanding!
Ted - Review Date: 12/9/2018

This was the perfect place to spend our anniversary. The space is lovely with big windows looking out to the park, visiting desert bunnies every morning, a kitchen equipped with everything you could need. We loved the outdoor shower and the soaking tub, and the lovely outdoor spaces to enjoy the desert landscape by sunrise or starry night.
Caroline - Review Date: 12/3/2018

Beautiful modern cabin perfect for a quiet escape.
Amelia - Review Date: 11/27/2018

This was the perfect experience. So quiet. So serene. So magical. I was sad to leave! I hope to be back many, many times. Everything in the space is so well though out and tidy. Well designed. Perfect for a desert getaway. Absolutely beautiful view in the morning!
James - Review Date: 11/24/2018

A wonderful retreat from everyday worries. Clean and well equipped. Excellent hospitality !
Donna - Review Date: 11/21/2018

Amazing location. Close to the Park. Romantic getaway. This is the place you should stay.
Jennifer - Review Date: 11/12/2018

This place is a true gem! Especially for a couple looking to get away. Favorite parts included: the cowboy tub (perfect for a relaxing soak), gorgeous outdoor / glass enclosed shower, a fully equipped kitchen (including a gas stovetop oven, and all the utensils you’d need for cooking), tall beautiful windows, and cushioned lounge chairs. Also loved how the house is private - you can see some neighbors in the distance, but they’re not close - and yet the house is still close to the local attractions like JT Park. Can’t wait to come back!
Hilary - Review Date: 11/1/2018

The modernist cabin was beyond our expectations. It is a very well designed space with lots of windows and beautiful views. We enjoyed feeding the bunnies and the outdoor spaces. The outdoor shower and light design (boulders and trees) was just outstanding. We would love to come back.
Kathleen - Review Date: 10/30/2018

What an amazing stay in John and Clea's cabin. I dont think you can have a better view on the Joshua Tree 's landscape than from their place. It's so stylish with full windows to give a post card view from morning to evening. Great amenities in the cabin that allows us to cook there. We also loved the outside bathtub. A dream stay!
Laurent - Review Date: 10/25/2018

This was the cutest and most stylish little Joshua tree getaway. My future hubby and I (we got engaged that weekend in the park) were over the moon with the location, the size of the place, outdoor lounge areas, the outdoor tub, and the bunnies! The decor was just perfect and we ended up buying some local artwork they displayed in the cabin. We will be back for sure. Thank you!!
Bailey - Review Date: 10/14/2018

Stylish cabin, right at the border of Joshua Tree National Park. Perfect for couples who want to spend the day in the park and have a comfy place to return to in the evening. We enjoyed our stay quite a bit, the cabin is exactly as advertised, the setting is stunning. An extra little bonus were the cute cottontail bunnies running around the property. Clea and John and great hosts, good communication and very accommodating. Highly recommend.
Ahmed - Review Date: 10/10/2018

Very happy with our stay, this is a beautifully designed retreat and John & Clea are excellent hosts.
Mike - Review Date: 10/7/2018

Wow. I don’t even know where to begin... This place is incredible. The views are breath taking. We fed the little bunnies in the morning and sat and watched the sunrise. We saw so much amazing wildlife and it was so peaceful. If you’re thinking about booking this place, BOOK IT NOW! Honestly can’t explain how outstanding our whole trip was. 3 nights was not enough. We can’t wait to come back in the future! Thanks again John and Clea.
Stephanie - Review Date: 9/26/2018

Great basecamp to explore Joshua Tree from!
Bryce - Review Date: 9/22/2018

John & Clea have the perfect desert home. We stayed for a few days during our honeymoon and had the most amazing time. Not only was the cabin very well stocked and immaculately clean, but they have truly created a space where you can truly enjoy nature to its fullest. From the semi-outdoor shower to the outdoor tub, to the full length windows throughout, their home invites you to experience nature. We truly enjoyed every second of our stay and were sad to leave.
Also, my wife left her glasses behind and John was gracious enough to offer to send them to us. We were both so blown away by the kindness and generosity of our hosts.
If you’re on the fence about booking, stop thinking and just do it. You will not regret it. Trust me.
Sebastian - Review Date: 9/6/2018

Doesn’t get any better! If you are in Joshua Tree and want a sleek and modern house with amazing views, this is the spot. Gorgeous house with the cutest wild rabbits you will ever see.
Location was easy to get to and a close drive to town.
Everything was marvelously clean, safe and quiet! John and Clea are amazing hosts and we are sure to be back sometime soon :)
Karla - Review Date: 8/29/2018

Lovely place in Joshua tree in great location. Must stay and experience the stars at night
Jessy - Review Date: 8/19/2018

Second time staying here. Nice space, quiet, well maintained and equipped. Nice that there was coffee and even oats for breakfast. Used the lounges to see the night sky and even saw a few meteors. Looking forward to the next trip back.
Cedric - Review Date: 8/12/2018

Best Airbnb we have stayed at. Its location, cleanliness and comfort were exceptional. An unforgettable stay!
Gregory - Review Date: 8/10/2018

This little desert cabin was a beautiful escape from the city. Everything was exactly as described and more. The check in process was quite easy, and despite being down a bit of an extended dirt driveway (that can be navigated by any commercial vehicle) it was easy to find. The views, along with the fluffle of adorable bunnies that live on the property, absolutely made this trip. The location immediately adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park is an incredible benefit that facilitates easy access to beautiful hiking both a short drive away and immediately out the front door. The kitchen is well stocked and the bed is somewhat small for a couple, but comfortable. My absolute favorite feature was the indoor/outdoor shower with incredible Mojave desert views. Thanks to John and Clea for a fantastic stay!
Ben - Review Date: 7/31/2018

Wow. This was definitely a 5 star Airbnb experience in the most beautiful setting I’ve ever been in. John and Clea have thought of everything - and I mean everything! We loved the outdoor bath, and the complimentary yoga class (really good) but the best bit was have a private oasis in one of the most stunning places on earth. We hope to come back on day!
Alice - Review Date: 7/28/2018

The Modernist Jewel is a perfect couples retreat. You'll love the cowboy tub with hot and cold water and feeding the sweet bunnies as you gaze over the giant boulders into Joshua Tree. Just outstanding! Everything was seamless from start to finish and we can't wait to be back to relax and rejuvenate!
Jamie - Review Date: 7/13/2018

Amazing property with great views! John & Clea are great hosts. The place was very clean and exactly as described.
Jack - Review Date: 7/10/2018

This home is truly a gem. Central location, but very secluded. We enjoyed soaking in the outdoor tub and star gazing.
Eli - Review Date: 7/7/2018

We love staying at John and Cleo’s cabin. It’s stylish, intimate and minimal design fits in well with the surroundings. You really feel like you’re off the grid even though the town is a short drive below you. We enjoyed just sitting in the chaise lounges admiring the view, watching the desert bunnies and other wildlife set against the sun bleached boulders of Joshua Tree. The apartment is fully stocked with everything you’ll need. The outdoor shower is great, and we used the outdoor galvanized metal bathtub as a cold plunge pool. It’s definitely one of our favorite AirBnB experiences, out of many. In town we recommend the Saturday Farmers Market, Crossroads Cafe and The Station gift shop. Pappy and Harriet’s is worth the 30 min drive for a meal. Oh, and don’t miss Joshua Tree National Park!
Liza - Review Date: 7/3/2018

John & Clea have thought of everything to make sure your time spent in their home is memorable and relaxing.
This is our second time staying in Joshua Tree and I can’t imagine staying somewhere else should we come back a third time.
A few things to note: if you are traveling in a car equipped with Apple CarPlay and through the Airbnb app select Apple maps as your choice of directions 9 times out of 10 it will navigate you to the wrong address. Bypass this by manually putting in John & Clea’s address, or use google maps.
The coyotes serenaded us nightly with their lovely yip-howls, we loved it!! but if you’re sensitive sleeper maybe bring ear plugs.
Linda - Review Date: 6/22/2018

This cabin is in an amazing location, as close to the park border as possible. It was very relaxing to sit out on the patio chairs with all of the rabbits that hang out at the cabin.
Christopher - Review Date: 6/10/2018

Fantastic home in an amazing location! Perfect weekend getaway.
Jeff - Review Date: 6/3/2018

Can't say enough great things about this getaway. It was all very thoughtfully appointed with many basics for coffee and cooking provided, which made cooking for a couple days very practical and fun. We had a lovely visit to Joshua Tree and the windows to the back of the property bordering the park make it feel like you never left the park. Only regret is we didn't stay longer.
Casey - Review Date: 5/30/2018

Second time to Moderniat Jewel and it is one of the best places to stay in the area. Love it.
Katherine Haemee - Review Date: 5/28/2018

This cabin is absolute perfection. The cabin itself is gorgeous, well laid out, an amazing kitchen, and has all items you will need. The setting is breathtaking. There was abundant flora and fauna right outside and you have your own private Joshua tree park experience or your door. The windows are so well appointed and we spent time just staring out into the desert. The cabin feels much larger than its compact size. The covered deck is wonderful and provides a cool breeze on super comfy chairs. The location is private but yet close to town if you want something. It was our fave Airbnb experience! The hosts thought of everything and have great communication.
Capri - Review Date: 5/23/2018

This is a tiny paradise. The thing I like the least about Joshua Tree is having to leave the park, but by staying at Clea and John’s place I really never had to. This is a quiet, private slice of it. The amount of windows make it feel like outdoor living, with views of the stars from bed. Perfect in the warm Spring, the outdoor shower with its sunset views was a highlight. Every amenity one might need is stocked, including really nice towels (even on the outdoor lounge chairs). It is impeccably clean and John and Clea are very quick with communication. I hope to stay there again!
Nicole - Review Date: 5/16/2018

We had a fantastic time at John and Clea’s house. The location is outstanding, like you are in the National Park. We saw so much wildlife, all while sitting in the garden drinking a wine. The outdoor bath and shower are incredible and such a unique experience. Very close to town and the National Park, but secluded enough to find peace and quiet. Truly memorable.
Annelise - Review Date: 5/11/2018

John and Clea’s place was outstanding. This was my favorite Airbnb I’ve stayed at so far!!
The view is amazing! How many places have an outdoor shower with a view of a national park?
They were great hosts and I’d love to stay their again!
Danny - Review Date: 5/6/2018

Spectacular setting, modern minimalist interior and great privacy for a Joshua Tree getaway.
We stayed at the cabin for 3 nights as our final stop in a National Park tour of Southern California. The property borders the northern margin of the Park and every evening I would spend some time photographing the desert scenery. We were visited every morning and evening by the local cottontail rabbits as well as quail and jack rabbits.
The National Park entrance is nearby and if you’ve never been to Joshua Tree NP you are missing a gem.
We can highly recommend this property for a couple looking for a private desert retreat.
Lowrey - Review Date: 5/4/2018

Simply amazing!
Joel - Review Date: 4/29/2018

I’m hesitant to keep this amazing place close to my vest, as it is one of the most fabulous places on AirBnB! John and Clea have thought of everything to make your stay feel like you’re at a 5-star hotel, even though you’re out in the wilds! Loved our stay and and can’t wait to return to this utter gem!
Megan - Review Date: 4/26/2018

This is a very special place. We ended up delayed in our arrival so we got in well after dark, so waking up to the amazing views was a wonderful start to our first morning there. We had tons of bunnies, birds, and even a coyote visit us at the house. From the home you can just walk out the door and be in the midst of beautiful plants, animals, and scenery. It is a perfect and more private way to experience the Joshua Tree park.
The hosts are great communicators and provide tons of little extras that make the stay special, including featuring local art that you can buy right in the home!
The house itself is gorgeous and the views are everywhere, so it makes this smaller space feel expansive. The outside spaces are truly great. The kitchen is well appointed and the sound system is a nice addition.
The only things to be aware of are that the bed is a tad small (I think it is double?) if you are used to a queen or larger. The shower is an indoor/outdoor combo which provides amazing views but also means it can be a tad chilly. Also, I would suggest taking an SUV as the road in is not meant for tiny little rental cars. :)
Overall, you should definitely stay here. It is a comfortable, clean, and beautiful home in a spectacular setting with wonderful hosts.
Jamie - Review Date: 4/20/2018

A stunning place to stay and rejuvenate for a few days. The views are unmatched and the property is one of a kind!
Kristen - Review Date: 4/11/2018

The Modernist Jewel is one of the most magical places I have ever been. From the architecture of the building, to the majestic views from every angle! John was a superb communicator and quick to respond. We will be returning for sure!
Sara (Jahara) - Review Date: 4/7/2018

John & Clea's home in Joshua Tree is lovely! The house is nestled in the mountains, offering a serene panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The space was clean and cozy. They provided all of the essentials that made our stay feel like we were at home! The complimentary yoga session was an added bonus. Not to mention the fact that the house is located less than a 10 min drive from the park entrance! I would definitely stay at John & Clea's home again in the future. :)
Adrienne - Review Date: 4/2/2018

John and Clea have created a beautiful retreat on the edge of the Joshua Tree desert. Peaceful and comfortable, we watched the sun rise and set. They were very helpful with tips re restaurants. A perfect spot from which to explore the national park.
Cindy - Review Date: 3/30/2018

John and Clea's place is absolutely amazing! The location was great and the views from the house are gorgeous. We had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend staying here for a romantic and relaxing trip. John and Clea were also excellent hosts!
Helen - Review Date: 3/26/2018

This might have been our favorite Airbnb ever. Such a beautiful setting and a perfectly designed space for two people looking to relax in the desert, amidst bunnies and beautiful views :) Perfect spot to explore Joshua Tree for a few days and have a great place to come back and enjoy dinner and the night sky.
Lauren And Joe - Review Date: 3/15/2018

I can't recommend the cabin highly enough. The location is perfect, and includes your own boulders. It's close to Joshua Tree, but remote enough to feel like you're away from it all. I don't think a couple could find a better place to stay in Joshua Tree. Plus, there are friendly rabbits that come for dinner every day!
John and Clea are great hosts and really help you feel at home. If you and your partner want a place to stay in JT, look no further.
Stuart - Review Date: 3/9/2018

Great secluded spot! Easy access to the park and town. Watch and feed the jackrabbits early morning and evening on the Sun deck.
PS be sure to go to the Joshua Tree Saloon EARLY as the wait can be 2 hours on weekend evenings after 7!
Blake - Review Date: 3/6/2018

This cabin is a marvel in a gorgeous setting. I cannot start to describe the serenity and the beauty of the setting.
John and Clea are models of hosts: always one message or text away, never in your way.
I highly recommend.
Lalao - Review Date: 2/26/2018

This was one of my favorite Airbnbs anywhere in the world. The attention to detail was great!
Abhinav - Review Date: 2/18/2018

What an amazing spot! We had a wonderful long weekend in Joshua Tree at John and Clea's modernist cabin. The location is truly spectacular—Joshua Tree National Park is really is your back yard (complete with joshua trees and monzogranite boulders!), yet town and the park entrances are just a couple minutes away. Make sure you don't rent a super low-clearance car, though, because the road up to the cabin is not paved. Inside, the cabin is modern, clean and cozy (exactly as pictured) and intelligently laid out with lots of storage, and amazing views in every direction—we loved the outdoor soaking tub (which can be filled hot or cold) and sort-of-outdoor shower, especially at night with the neighboring boulders and joshua trees lit up. The Bose sound system was easy to use (bluetooth), and we really appreciated the selection of hiking books provided as well. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and John was communicative and a great host—we arrived to a personalized note, yoga passes (which we weren't able to use, sadly) and a bottle of wine. We can't wait to come back to the desert!
Aaron - Review Date: 2/13/2018

You can't beat the location, the views and how the space is made for enjoying the beauty of the area. Every window is a perfect view. The shower is fantastic! Everything was easy and communication was fast and clear. I would happily come back for longer.

Great private home in a great location. Can’t wait to go back.
Max - Review Date: 1/28/2018

We had the best weekend getaway to John and Clea’s amazing place. Pictures don’t do the place justice! The National Park is their backyard, the place is spotless, and we enjoyed cooking delicious meals in the fully stocked kitchen. We especially enjoyed the outdoor tub after long days of exploring and hiking the park. We would love to come back someday and highly recommend this lovely retreat!!!
Joyce - Review Date: 1/22/2018

The Modernist Cabin was wonderful. It's peaceful and secluded, but is quick drive to the town of Joshua Tree, Twentynine Palms, and the park. I can't wait to come back!

The place was perfect. I am afraid to write too much because I don't want them gem to be discovered ;)

Best hosts ever!
Domniki - Review Date: 11/26/2017

John & Clea’s modern cabin is just as advertised. Perfect for a couple’s getaway with scenic boulder views right out the back, even lit at night. Quiet location with easy access to the park. Highly recommend!
Jill - Review Date: 11/23/2017

This was our second time at the Modernist Jewel, and it was as good as we remembered! The home is clean, quiet, and relaxing. The dirt road up to the house is more filled in now and easier to get to in a low car. The house has all of the right details for a wonderful stay. Thank you John and Clea for being such fantastic hosts!
Colleen - Review Date: 11/13/2017

It’s pricey, but it’s something unique. It’s an amazing place to stay in an amazing part of the world. The level of luxury feels sort of absurd in the desert. This desert’s already pretty surreal, the yucca and cacti looking how they look and doing what they do and all, so you have to ask yourself how much you can handle. Is bathing outdoors under the stars, staring at a boulder, while a high-end stereo system competes against yips and howls of coyotes your definition of a good time? Or is it the best time? (Try yipping and howling back at the coyotes.)
All I wanted for was a couch. While there are cushioned deck chairs on the porch, there’s no comfortable place to sit inside. It’s between sitting on the bed, which wasn’t built for this, or at the dinner table in there. In late October when my wife and I were there, it was too brisk to enjoy being outside for long in the evenings. However, we made do.

This is a fantastic cabin in a stunning location. It is a wonderful place to use as home base for Joshua Tree adventures. I would highly recommend John & Clea’s cabin.
Kristi - Review Date: 10/28/2017

The location of and views from this home are just spectacular. The home is clean and comfortable and has everything we needed. We loved the easy access to the park and the constant wildlife. Such a special place!
Marisa - Review Date: 10/19/2017

This was an amazing cabin that had everything we were looking for. So close to Joshua Tree National Park and great vibe in town. Incredibly peaceful and hope to get back.
Suzanne - Review Date: 10/13/2017

What an unbelievable place. The cabin is just as beautifully designed and furnished as in the pictures, and every detail of our stay was thoughtfully provided for - from good towels to the outdoor shower to the loungers set up in just the right spot - but the location is even more breathtaking than we imagined. Sitting right at the edge of the park, the house is mostly windows, and they all frame a glorious view of the rocks and desert plants of Joshua Tree. It was the perfect size for the two of us, and it added immeasurably to our experience of visiting the park. We'll be back for sure.
Andrea - Review Date: 10/4/2017

The cabin is beautifully designed, with the essentials provided and clean surfaces everywhere. John and Clea were very helpful in setting up my visit. This is a special place to stay in JT.
Julia - Review Date: 9/29/2017

My wife and I loved the location of John and Clea’s cabin; so serene and peaceful yet close to town and the national park. A perfect place to relax and unwind after a day exploring. John and Clea were great hosts and kept in touch before our arrival and provided great instructions. We’d definitely stay here again!
Tom - Review Date: 9/23/2017

This place was great. Only a few miles outside of the town of Joshua. We were there on an odd weekend but it worked out perfect. We woke up from our first night to an incredible thunder and lightning storm and pounding rain. We just sat and watched as the desert lit up with every lightning strike. Unfortunately the storm knocked power out all morning but John and Clea checked in with us to make sure we were ok and offered to bring up lanterns, candles, an ice chest and ice if the power did not come back on by the evening.
We loved the outdoor shower and soaking tub, and were able to hook up our record player to the bose sound system. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking, except for the non functional stove top grill insert, but there is a charcoal grill outside to use.
We enjoyed laying in the lounge chairs on the patio watching the bunnies and quail running by and just staring out at the boulders. The place is pretty private, but there are some neighbors near by so its not complete privacy.
We would definitely book again. Thanks John & Clea for a great weekend.
Andrew - Review Date: 9/10/2017

This modern cabin truly was a gem! John and Clea obviously put tons of time and attention into every detail of this unique house. Although it is small, it has everything you need and never felt cramped.
Check in and check out were seamless and even though it's up a dirt road, we were able to make it without a problem in our Prius.
My husband and I had a wonderful weekend here and will absolutely recommend to our friends and family.
Amy - Review Date: 9/4/2017

It’s been a week since my husband and I stayed at the cabin and we are missing every minute of it. It was the perfect getaway to celebrate our anniversary. The cabin is fully equipped, clean and it was more than enough room for us. The shower is exactly how it’s described. It’s outside! But you won’t care once you see the view around you. The cowboy tub is another added bonus. The location is perfect! Far enough from the road noise, private and the backyard was unbelievable. You really don’t have to venture into the National Park when there’s plenty of boulders in the back to climb on. We decided on Joshua Tree mainly to see the stars and we weren’t disappointed. We have never seen so many stars before and it was truly breathtaking. We just sat outside in silence, admiring the night sky. We are definitely coming back. My only wish is one day they have a place just like this but for my family to enjoy. My daughter and son would love it.
John & Clea - we can’t thank you enough for being such great hosts and having such a perfect spot to share with others.
Jazper - Review Date: 8/20/2017

We had a great time at John and Clea's place. The view surrounding the cabin was amazing and we enjoyed looking out during the morning and enjoy the quiet and peacefulness of the place. The cabin is situated in a private area right next to JTNP. The cabin was fully stocked with everything you need for cooking as well. Overall, our stay was made very comfortable and we will definitely be booking again in the future. Thanks John and Clea!
Kervin - Review Date: 8/13/2017

This house is a gem! It's perfect on all aspects. The location is amazing with spectacular views. The structure is modern but not loud. It melts perfectly with the surrounding. The porch is covered to protect from the summer heat but gets the wind from the mountain. Inside it's lovely decorated and furnished and has everything you might need. Everything is new and studied in every detail. The courtyard with the stock tank is speechless. Thanks to john&Clea to share their gem with us!!!!
Melissa - Review Date: 7/24/2017

Had a great two days. Very thoughtfully furnished and equipped. Enjoyed laying out on the lounge chairs and watching the wild life walk and fly by. Have to make another trip soon. Outdoor shower was great in this weather. The ability to do an early morning hike without having to drive was a great. Evening viewing of the stars was the reason we came and was not disappointed. Thanks once again for sharing your place.
Cedric - Review Date: 7/18/2017

This is an amazing place! The large rock formations on the property make you feel like you are staying right in the park. The house is far enough out that it feels secluded and private, yet you are close to town. This is by far our favorite place in Joshua Tree.
John and Clea are wonderful hosts, communicating with them was easy and they were very responsive.
Ben - Review Date: 7/12/2017

This place is perfect for holiday. The cabin is small but it has everything you need. The location is incredible. You can just stay they and enjoy the landscape. Taking a bath in the cowboy bathtub under the sky is unforgettable. Thank you very much for this wonderful experience. We have to come back next time for longer.
Monika - Review Date: 7/5/2017

John & Clea's cabin at Joshua Tree is totally beautiful, and welcoming- set in a spectacular location , with views of nature all around. The cabin is extremely clean , & comfortable- with many amenities and a short ride to town & the park. We wish we could've stayed longer !
Rodica - Review Date: 6/30/2017

This space is absolutely gorgeous and the property is stunning. During my stay, there were adorable rabbits and chipmunks and a little partridge family all within view from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Totally private. Immaculately clean. Well-stocked kitchen. The outdoor shower is HEAVEN. The property backs onto the park and it is pure magic. I look forward to my next stay!
Cara - Review Date: 6/25/2017

This place is such a rare and amazing experience-- right on the edge of the park, we saw road runners, quail, and a family of bunnies everyday. It was over 100 degrees everyday that we were there, but the home was always cool and refreshing. At night, the stars and outdoor tub can't be beat!
Colleen - Review Date: 6/18/2017

John and Clea's place was incredible. The beautifully designed cabin had everything we needed, was super comfortable and the setting was spectacular. We never left the entire weekend. Went hiking straight from the cabin into the park and didn't see a single soul while scrambling over the rocks and boulders. Spent lots of down time lounging outside on the covered patio, reading and staring off into the landscape while watching the rabbits, quails, lizards and desert squirrels (or chipmunks?). Love the outdoor soaking tub and shower. The sunset and moon rising over the mountains were gorgeous, especially with the full moon. Wish we stayed another day - it ended too soon!
Jennifer - Review Date: 6/11/2017

Perfect. Simply perfect. The cabin is the best place I've ever seen that is perfectly situated to enjoy the natural surroundings. The windows look out to gorgeous views or rocks and flora and wildlife. There are two wonderful outdoor areas as week to enjoy lounging or drinking coffee I. The morning and listening to the birds. The cabin was sparkling clean and
Liz - Review Date: 6/6/2017

We absolutely loved John & Clea's place!! The cabin was right at the border of the Joshua Tree National Park, so these beautiful boulder rock formations are literally in your back yard. The house has these large glass windows, so this gorgeous view is present everywhere (even in the outdoor shower and tub!). John & Clea were very responsive and the house was extremely well appointed. They even provide bunny chow so that you can attract bunnies and other wildlife to your doorstep. We highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Joshua Tree. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!
Julia - Review Date: 5/28/2017

This little cabin made for the PERFECT stay in Joshua Tree. It's as close to the park as you can get, we loved exploring the "backyard". The cabin is incredible, by far the best place we've ever stayed. There is more than enough space to live in, and the patios are great spaces to hang out. The indoor/outdoor shower was so fun, and the soaking tub was a great way to watch the stars. Can't recommend it enough!
Emily - Review Date: 5/21/2017

What a wonderful place, calm and full of life at the same time. You can literally touch the national park and see how it changes. The cabin was very nice, clean and well-appointed. Hope we will come back at least once again.
Thanks!

Always wonderful.
Kyle - Review Date: 5/9/2017

This house really is a jewel--small, but it has everything you need, and is so beautifully designed and maintained. I would recommend having a somewhat bigger car than just a sedan, as the dirt road had some big pits, but we managed just fine in a small SUV. The views are stunning, the water pressure and outdoor shower are incredible--overall, a wonderful experience we can't wait to return to!
Laura - Review Date: 4/28/2017

I’m lost at words on how to even begin to describe how amazing our experience was staying at John & Clea’s cabin. We really didn’t have to do much exploring inside Joshua Tree National Park because of the amazing view that we got from the place. All we did was waking up at 6 AM to catch the sunrise right outside of the cabin and went back to sleep. What a perfect place to chill and relax for the weekend!!!!! And the floor to ceiling windows! Soaking tub under the stars!! Boulders!!!! ahhh I can’t wait to go back!!!
Irene - Review Date: 4/23/2017

Gorgeous and comfortable accommodation in the desert - the perfect oasis getaway! The cowboy tub was amazing. The inside/outside shower was a nice touch! The cabin has everything you need. Last but not least, THE BOULDER LIGHT! :)
Eric - Review Date: 4/9/2017

I don't think this place could get a single bad review. It is, like all the other reviews state, amazing. It is the perfect Joshua Tree experience. I've camped before, and would definitely recommend doing both. But if you are going the Airbnb rout, this is the best place to stay.
I went with my best friend for my 25th birthday. Easy 15-20 minute drive to everything you might want to get to in JT. We went to Pappy and Harriet's, Crossroads Cafe, JT Coffee and yes, we did the free yoga class offered with the stay. Easy to go to and from the Airbnb. I highly recommend all. The yoga class was the best I've been to, probably ever. Definitely find time for the yoga class! It's free and they offer yoga matts at the class for you to use, and those are free too!
The outdoor shower is amazing and connects right through the bathroom. We also took a warm soak at night to stargaze at night. Best soaking pool. We woke up for every sunrise and enjoyed the sunsets over Joshua Tree. Did I mention Joshua Tree is literally your back yard? What better than to walk around the park while the sun is rising?
They have everything you could possibly need for your stay. You are stocked up on coffee w/ a French press, hot chocolate packets (which were perfect with our outdoor soak) and tea bags w/ a hot water boiler, water bottles and more. They have a cute fire pit you can move around to the back or front of the house. You can buy firewood easily in town.
What really sold me was the Bose sound system. I'm a big advocate of Bose as a company. They do great things, they even do work for NASA! But I won't get into all that. All you need to know is that they make amazing sound systems. It was perfect. You can hear it indoor and out. Easily hooked up through Bluetooth or auxiliary.
It's beautiful here. I admire what these two are doing. It's worth every penny and then some. I feel lucky to have been able to stay here. And if you haven't been to Joshua Tree, prepare to have your heart won over. I'm deeply considering moving here one day. One of the most beautiful places I ever been. And I'm not saying that lightly.
Thanks for everything John and Clea.
London - Review Date: 4/5/2017

Thanks for this wonderful review, London. It was a pleasure hosting you. And if you ever want to noodle the issue of what it's like to live in Joshua Tree, give us a holler. Lots of people are doing it! It's a wonderful place to live with lots of small business opportunities if you're feeling entrepreneurial. Best regards.
Homestead Modern, LLC staff

This is our second trip to John and Clea's little gem. We Love being able to roll out of bed and step out into the park. It's the kind of environment and beauty you wake up early for. You can't beat yoga on the deck to the rising sun. Cowboy tub gets the victory after a long day of hiking. We used it every night. House is fully stocked and we prepared meals at the house.
Discovered this trip, that there is access to even more areas of the park just out the back door (west view loop, rocky view, burro). We can't wait to go back and explore more territories.
This place gives us an escape. It's a beautiful, peaceful retreat and an opportunity to just spend time with with your own thoughts, your partner, and the outdoors.
We love every minute we are here and can't wait to go back.
Kristin - Review Date: 4/2/2017

We were really blown away by John & Clea's place. Their home is beautifully designed - we loved "sleeping under the stars" thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and I know that we'll be dreaming of the view from the indoor-outdoor shower for years to come. They are also great hosts - the house was fully stocked, they provided a ton of information on the house and surrounding area, and were very responsive and easy to communicate with.
We would return to Joshua Tree just to stay here again.
Sarah - Review Date: 3/28/2017

If you want to be up close to Joshua Tree there is nothing better. Two wonderful patios and a small, perfect, architecturally interesting 'cabin' that has everything you need. But watch out, rabbits will come and sunbathe right next to you :-)
Robert - Review Date: 3/25/2017

Fantastic house! If you are a couple looking to explore the Joshua tree area this house is s must do. Beautiful views, private, aesthetic, very functional and overall gets the A grade.
Joel - Review Date: 3/20/2017

John & Clea's cabin is stunning. It's situated right on the border of the park, providing some seriously breathtaking views of Joshua Tree. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and perfectly equipped - from the lux soaking tub and indoor/ outdoor shower, to the covered patio with chaise lounge chairs, to the cabin's fully equipped kitchen... You'll never want to leave. We can't wait to go back!
Ron - Review Date: 3/16/2017

John & Clea's cabin is beautiful in the photos... it's even more perfect in person. Everything about our stay far exceeded expectations. We'll definitely be returning!
Ross - Review Date: 3/11/2017

Had a wonderful stay at John and Clea's Modernist Jewel! The location was fantastic and exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, scenic and backed right up into Joshua Tree National Park for some exploring. The outdoor shower and trough tub were a fun bonus! Hoping to make it back here for another visit someday!
Alissa - Review Date: 3/3/2017

John and Clea's modernist cabin was the perfect getaway. The space is clean, bright and modern. The location is secluded and yet so close to Joshua Tree. My wife and I did a few quick hikes into the park directly from the cabin. The kitchen was well stocked and they even left us a bottle of wine to enjoy. We can't wait to come back!
Nathan & Emily - Review Date: 2/27/2017

The best airbnb rental that we've ever stayed in by far. The photos do not do this place justice. It is a stunning home in the middle of the natural surroundings of Joshua Tree. The home was equipped with everything we needed - from kitchen supplies to books on hiking trails. Located a very short drive to the Park entrance. Had breakfast staring at the giant rock formations and star-gazed from the patio at night. This place is a balm for the soul.
Katherine - Review Date: 2/20/2017

Our second time back, this place is a piece of heaven. Amazing location, right on the edge of the Joshua Tree Park. Surrounded by boulders, desert and beautiful landscapes from every window. The perfect getaway. We needed it.
Daniel - Review Date: 2/16/2017

John and Clea's place was absolutely magical! It is a very close drive to restaurants and shopping in the town of Joshua Tree. It is a short drive to the park entrance, which you can also access by simply walking into the backyard. The house is modern and comfortable with a well-equiped kitchen. The outdoor tub is a wonderful place to view stars, which you can also see when lying in bed. I highly recommend this place as a romantic getaway or any kind of getaway. It is just gorgeous and we fell in love with it!
Marisa - Review Date: 2/12/2017

Stayed here with my boyfriend for our first trip to Joshua tree together and could not be happier with the space! The pictures don't do it justice, honestly. It was in a great location to get to the park and also to all the main attractions both in Joshua tree & Pioneertown. I have nothing but amazing memories looking back on our stay & we can't wait to go back and stay here again!
Stacy - Review Date: 2/6/2017

Wonderful location right against boulder mountains! Super clean, comfy. Just enough space for 1-2 people, and the outdoor tub is very relaxing too. We loved it.
Wendy - Review Date: 2/3/2017

Great location and wonderful respite after a day of hiking at Joshua Tree. We cooked every night and slept well. The cabin had everything we needed and the books provided info on hikes. John and Clea are generous hosts and a breeze to communicate with.
Joni - Review Date: 1/20/2017

What a place! We LOVED it here. The cabin is so well designed. We loved the indoor outdoor shower despite it being mid January. The bed was so comfortable and the atmosphere was romantic and cozy. We really enjoyed the rock formations in the yard and climbed around everyday, infact we only went into the park once because you have a park right in your yard. We didn't use the kitchen much but it has everything you could need. The cabin is in a great location, close to town and the park. Out of all the "entire home" Airbnb's we have stayed at this might be our favorite. John and Cleo were super kind and responsive. They left us a great bottle of wine too. We not only would stay here again but we intend to come back.
Rebecca - Review Date: 1/13/2017

Absolutely lovely house is a magical setting. Set up with everything one could wish for- maps of the area, charcoal for the grill, and coffee, tea etc.
David - Review Date: 1/9/2017

What a gem of a little home in the desert! My husband and I wanted a true getaway over the holidays. A place where we could refresh ourselves and rejuvenate. This was it. John and Clea's house is perfection. It is perfectly designed - from the big outdoor soaking tub to the windows looking at desert landscape in all directions. We would lie in bed at night and soak up the silence and gaze at the stars. Imagine taking a hot shower while having a panoramic outdoor view of the boulders, Joshua trees, and and birds that make this area so special. The house is immaculate and cozy, but minimalist in the best, most relaxing sense of the word. It is on a perfect little spot. We enjoyed the lounge chairs on the patio at night in front of a fire and listened to to the coyotes howl in the distance. In the morning we could hike right into the park from our doorstep. (One of our favorite things to do was watch the bunnies that hang around the front yard.) Our hosts could not have been more gracious or accommodating. They even provided us with a bottle of New Year's Eve champagne. My husband and I frequently stay in Airbnbs when we travel. This was among the best ever. Highly recommend.
Barbara - Review Date: 1/4/2017

The Modernist Jewel is aptly named. It was a perfect space for the two of us to get away from the daily grind. Clean, beautiful, simple and modern. The outdoor shower and tub were a lovely touch. Perfect for chilly December nights to warm our bones while sitting and enjoying the stars. The front and back patios have tables and chairs for guests to relax. The owners have installed twinkle lights in the front and uplights on the trees and boulders facing the property, which make the space even more beautiful. John and Clea were accommodating and responsive. Another great touch is a free pass to the local yoga studio. Sadly we didn't have enough time to attend, but will do so next time. A bonus for animal lovers: the locale makes it easy to spot critters including bunnies and bobcats. Wonderful and beautiful place. Cannot wait to return!
Esther - Review Date: 12/20/2016

This truly was a "jewel" in the heart of Joshua Tree. The views surrounding the property are stunning. It was difficult to want to leave the home and explore the rest of the park. We were so content and relaxed, enjoying the landscapes around us. We sat in the little soaking tub and watched the stars for hours. This is a place that will truly force you to slow down and relax. The bed was comfortable and everything we needed was provided. The hosts were communicative and friendly, so we were well taken care of. Can't wait to return here someday! It was stunning!
Cathy - Review Date: 12/11/2016

John and Clea's place was amazing and reflected exactly what was included in the listing. Located just outside of the Joshua Tree National Park, we were perfectly situated for adventure and fun. The accommodations were cozy and clean, and the bed was super comfortable. The added bonus of having a speaker system to hook up to was a really nice touch. We loved the outdoor shower and enjoyed sitting by the fire in the evening. John and Clea were super responsive and the entrance and exit was seamless. We will be back for sure!
Jennifer - Review Date: 12/6/2016

I want to thanks John and Clea for allowing us to have a small 8 person wedding in their backyard. Let me just say this is an amazing piece of property. It made the wedding ceremony absolutely beautiful and special. The Modern cabin is chic and sophisticated making the whole experience the rustic modern vision I had in mind. What a special day and compliments from all who attended. I recommend this place wholeheartedly. It exceeds expectations. We will definitely be back on our anniversary!
Jennifer - Review Date: 11/14/2016

I can't speak highly enough about John and Clea's Modernist Cabin. It was the perfect getaway for a too-short weekend right on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park... whereby "right on the edge", I mean you're staring at it out of the dining room window!

The cabin is beautiful and well-appointed, and we especially enjoyed the semi-outdoor shower and "cowboy tub". The kitchen is perfectly equipped and sized for cooking pretty much anything you'd want, and the dining area with the aforementioned amazing views is just the right size for a couple with friends.

As for the hosts, John was very helpful and extremely responsive, always responding to texts within minutes! They also left a nice hand-written welcome note with a bottle of wine and some free passes to the local yoga studio (which we were "unfortunately" having too much fun to take advantage of). All of which helped create a very welcoming atmosphere.

The house is located at the end of a dirt road with one neighbor to the side, a couple hundred yards away. Your backyard is the National Park and you therefore feel perfectly secluded without feeling isolated.

Again, my girlfriend and I couldn't have been happier with our time there, and we look forward to visiting again soon!
David - Review Date: 11/6/2016

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described - with nice touches such as a welcome bottle of wine, food for the local rabbits, and dramatic landscape lighting. It was great having Joshua Tree as our backyard.
James - Review Date: 10/30/2016

This is the second time that I've stayed at John and Clea's Modernist Cabin in Joshua Tree and I was just as amazed this time as I was the first time that I stayed several years ago. First, the property is incredible, perfectly laid out in an incredibly efficient and very attractive mid-century (but recently built) modernist style and meticulously maintained. It also comes stocked with all of the pantry essentials you might need during your stay (including some perishables such as milk) as well as the softest towels and linens. They have also provided for a built in Bose sound system that you can link to by Bluetooth for additional ambiance. Equally impressive, however, is the location of the property at the edge of the park. Coming home to enjoy a glass of wine on the private patio while gazing south at gigantic boulders lit by floodlights or north at the sun setting over the Mojave desert is an experience that is difficult to replicate. As long as I go to Joshua Tree, I will stay at John and Clea's modernist masterpiece.
Brenda - Review Date: 10/9/2016

Everything about this stay was beyond expectations. There was a welcome note, along with a bottle of champagne, cold waters in the fridge, and excellent descriptions on how to use everything in the house. It is tricky to get up to the cabin, but again, excellent directions that exceeded my expectations.
This place is magical and I can't wait for my next visit!
Anne - Review Date: 9/25/2016

We absolutely loved our experience staying at Modernist Jewel and our expectations were exceeded! The location is perfect, remote (yet just a short car ride to Joshua Tree town) and quiet with almost private access to Joshua Tree national park, beautiful rock formations right in front of the cabin! We enjoyed being surrounded by the desert and its wildlife (we were feeding the wild bunnies with the food left by the hosts so they kept coming back and were so close to us!)
The cabin itself was amazing, beautifully designed with modern minimal decor, had everything we needed from Bose sound system to kitchen stuff, BBQ, outdoor bathtub for us to cool down during the hot day and semi-outdoor shower with beautiful views. The cabin was super clean and well kept, the hosts made our stay super easy and we felt welcomed yet not intruded.
We hope to come back for a longer stay and we highly recommend this place to all the desert lovers who wish to spend some quiet time in the wild with all the modern comfort provided in this beautiful cabin.
Amandine - Review Date: 9/8/2016

Just wanted to take some time to say how amazing my stay was. John was very easy to communicate with and met every expectation I had. The house was very clean and situated in the heart of Joshua Tree. If ever traveling to Joshua Tree this place is a must to stay at! I know I'll be going back soon :)
Luke - Review Date: 9/6/2016

You can't beat the sunrise cup of coffee or stargazing at night at John & Clea's place! The outdoor shower was awesome too. And feeding the jack rabbits in the backyard! They provide a bunch of info about the park and surrounding hikes which we found really useful as well.

It was a great, relaxing stay. Definitely recommend!
Ben - Review Date: 8/29/2016

Wonderful stay! Property was beautiful, right on the edge of the park, offering a wonderful view of the Joshua Tree landscape. The AC and the outdoor bath offered relief from the heat and shops and restaurants were just a few minutes away. Would recommend to anyone visiting Joshua Tree. Hope to return soon!
Kai - Review Date: 8/15/2016

John and Clea communicated with us very effectively and promptly throughout. We did not actually meet them, however, they seemed very friendly, professional and always quick to respond.
We were well prepared with all the information needed for a smooth check-in! We found the cabin with ease following the clear directions and were wowed from the start!
The cabin is just as described- and our overall experience was better than we could have hoped for! The cabin is small, cosy, beautifully and stylishly done and so clean :)
The location is magical... with views overlooking the unique landscape out of all sides of the cabin, it really was incredible. The cabin gave you the feeling of being in nature that you seek from camping, but with the luxuries of staying in a hotel! Having lived in London most of our lives and now in New York City, this cabin gave us the ultimate escape we were looking for- listening to silence for the first time (probably ever) and looking at the stars for hours at night was therapeutic to say the least!
John and Clea provided all the necessities we could have needed... from nice quality towels, bedding, kitchen-ware, oil & spices and a BBQ for our lovely BBQ night in!
We stayed just two nights so were keen to mainly relax but we visited the National Park one morning and explored it by car, stopping off to do some short hikes along the way. It was an amazing experience for us, we'd never seen landscape like it before. We had a great lunch when we arrived at the local Crossroads Cafe and a fun dinner at Pappy & Harriet's in the nearby Pioneertown which are all definitely worth a visit if you have time! The rest of the time, we soaked in the surroundings and relaxed at the cabin.
All in all, this was one of the best trips of our lives and we'll definitely be returning when we have the chance and are in need of some time out :) Thank you to John and Clea for sharing their amazing little gem!

The place was serene, beautifully-designed and totally immersed in the landscape. We had a lovely stay and plan to return again. John and Clea covered everything upon arrival and we were able to kick back with a drink and a book on the patio within minutes.

We love this Air BNB. Great cabin, minimal decor in a stunning isolated location with only bunnies and rock formations in view. Thoughtful hosts who leave you all the supplies you need including a welcome bottle of wine and bbq charcoal, yoga passes for in town and rabbit food for your new friends. Can't wait to get back to the tranquility of the Modernist Cabin. Check out Crossroads Cafe and JT Coffee Company nearby on highway 62

Vi träffade aldrig John och Clea personligen men hade tät kontakt via textmeddelande. och de hjälpte oss med alla eventuella funderingar vi hade. Vi välkomnades av en flaska gott vin och ett personligt brev. Boendet var precis lika underbart som det låter i beskrivningen. Fullt med fönster från golv till tak så var än man vänder sig har man utsikt över det fantastiska landskapet. Vår favorit var nog utebadkaret, det var magiskt att ligga i ett varmt bad och kolla in stjärnhimlen. Men uteduschen med utsikt över klipporna var också en speciell upplevelse. Boendet är väldigt välutrustat det fanns ett Bose ljudsystem och köket har allt du behöver för att laga mat. De tillhandahöll en del basvaror och kryddor. Det fanns ingen tv men vem behöver det med den fantastiska utsikten. För oss är det fem stjärnor rakt igenom. Vi stannade två nätter som en andningspaus mellan San Diego och Las Vegas. Vi var ute efter en "desert experience" och det fick vi verkligen. När det var som varmast mitt på dagen myste vi på de sköna solsängarna under den taktäckta altanen. Vi fick besök av söta små kaniner som mest var det sex stycken. Vi klättrade på klipporna på morgonen innan det blev för varmt. Det var väldigt roligt men svettigt. Om ni ska klättra så vill vi tipsa er om att ta med ett par handskar, vi hade inte det och det hade underlättat.

This place is very special. It is so peaceful and scenic. I would highly recommend staying here.

We loved our visit. The house is absolutely perfect. The hosts are welcoming and accommodating. The access to hikes/walks and rock scrambling is perfect. We hope to visit again!
Kris - Review Date: 5/16/2016

Beautiful place to stay with an amazing location! Best part was soaking in the cowboy bathtub, under the stars. Also an excellent bouldering spot for anyone who enjoys rock climbing. Loved it!
Angela - Review Date: 5/10/2016

Really couldn't have picked a more perfect place to stay for our first time in Joshua Tree! John and Clea made the cabin feel like home, but even better. Not everyday can I wake up and drink coffee while being surrounded by the beauty of Joshua Tree - or stargaze and lounge on the patio at night with a glass of wine (thanks to the awesome hosts).
Our stay was far too brief, but we hope to visit again very soon! Thank you so much! :)
Tina - Review Date: 4/20/2016

Spent a wonderful weekend at John & Clea's exquisite tiny house in the rocks of Joshua Tree. Really beautiful surroundings and the house is very well set up for cooking & BBQing at home. We didn't eat out once.
Mark - Review Date: 4/6/2016

From the bathtub under the stars to the sunrise over the rocks at the edge of the park, this place is amazing. We arrived as it was getting dark, and there at the end of the sandy desert road against the rocks was the "Jewel" shining in the night.

Everything you'd need for a few days away, with a very well-equipped kitchen and basics like oil and vinegar, and close to the main entrance of the national park.

We had a great stay and would definitely like to return some day. Thank you, John and Clea!

Great place and hospitality. Thank you!
Carol - Review Date: 3/22/2016

We LOVED our two nights in the "Modernist Jewel!" We felt bonded to nature, loved the big open windows with the lights we could turn on at night to shine on the boulders and tress and loved feeding the Jack Rabbits and being able to watch them from IN THE SHOWER :D The shower outside and the Bose sound system with fantastic acoustics in the house were probably our stand outs. The high quality in construction and overall architecture of the house we also loved however. It was great being so close to the park entrance and we studied up the night we arrived with the great books about the park and rock formations that were in the house waiting for us. The location is very secluded but that is exactly what we were expecting and hoping for. Nothing disappointed us!! Yippppeee, loved our first trip to Joshua Tree. It seemed like a totally different planet compared to our lake community back in NJ. This was our first Airbnb and now the bar is set very high for future destinations!!
Debbie - Review Date: 3/18/2016

Fantastic place with little details to take it from great to amazing! Perfect location for walk in access to the park for rock scrambling / hiking. Loved the outdoor shower and tub. We had a great weekend and visit Joshua Tree often, so will definitely stay here again!
Miranda - Review Date: 3/15/2016

Our stay at John and Clea's "Modernist Jewel" couldn't have been better. The space was as good or better than described in the listing - very clean with a well-stocked kitchen and every small detail thoughtfully addressed within such a wonderful and efficient space. The morning and afternoon light is incredible and the views mesmerizing. John was a great host - very responsive but not at all intrusive. We wished we could have stayed much longer and have only great things to say about our experience. Thank you!
Pamela T - Review Date: 3/10/2016

My wife and I spent four nights in late February at the Modernist Cabin. Our experience was wonderful. The cabin is perfect. Our hosts thought of everything.
James - Review Date: 3/1/2016

We felt completely welcomed. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us. The home was better then the pictures. Everything was very accurate and reasonably priced. John was quick to respond to texts with any questions. We would recommend this jewel and we hope to stay there again.
Kristen - Review Date: 2/19/2016

One of our favorite Airbnb stays to date! The beautiful home is situated on unique property that borders the park. The natural environment is peaceful and breathtaking. The home is just as described in photos and online. When we arrived, everything was spotless and perfectly situated. High quality towels and linens and basic necessities provided. The outdoor shower and tub were spectacular. The hosts were quick to respond to all of our questions and shared awesome recommendations on the trails and local area. They even welcomed us with a packet, yoga passes, and bottle of wine! My fiancé and I had a magical time. I highly recommend this listing!
Hanna - Review Date: 2/16/2016

This was my first AirBnB experience, and I have to say that all expectations were exceeded during our stay. The Modernist Jewel was the perfect get away. We only had three days out in Joshua Tree and left wanting to stay another week! We absolutely fell in love with the Modernist Jewel and Joshua Tree. People say that the desert, Joshua Tree in particular, is a magical place. After the weekend, I completely agree with much thanks to the accommodations.

John and Clea were wonderful hosts. The place was quaint, secluded and everything that you would hope for in a relaxing weekend in the desert. The listing was exactly as it reads. It’s perfect for two. The one thing I would say is that the photos don’t do the home justice. It’s absolutely adorable and you have far more space outside than expected. The view is beautiful as well. The outdoor shower and tub were the highlights, as to be expected. As was the personalized bottle of wine that John and Clea left for us which made the welcoming that much sweeter. The basic kitchen amenities are there at your disposal and they have a killer stereo system set-up that allows you to enjoy music and outside.

The neighborhood was secluded other than a few scattered houses that were not even in earshot of each other. The closest house was being worked on next to us, but again everything feels remote and secluded. The house backs up right to boulders that you can easily explore and access, making it a perfect way to enjoy the sunset. The place was close enough to town and far enough removed to feel secluded. It was also about an hour away from the entrance of the National Park, which made for a perfect day trip.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Modernist Jewel to any who is looking to get away. I hope to go back in the near future!
Erika - Review Date: 2/8/2016

John & Clea were wonderful hosts. The communicated well and gave me very good instructions. The Modernist Cabin is beautiful and spotless. All the amenities are there and are top quality. The views are amazing and no detail left unturned. A must stay place.
Doug - Review Date: 2/5/2016

The experience from start to finish was absolutely incredible! They had the lights on the front porch on when we drove up. The place is better then the pictures. John and Clea were so thoughtful providing a customized welcome note and a bottle of wine for my girlfriend and I making the whole vibe incredibly inviting. We never met John and Clea, but at all times felt like we were taken care of. They provided very clear instructions on how everything operates. The shower is incredible. Was very warm even in the cold night. The sound system is great, and with provided wifi it makes streaming music effortless. Hands down my favorite rental I've ever experienced. Thank you two for the best weekend of my life :)
Jace - Review Date: 1/25/2016

What can I say that has not already been said?! We found John & Clea's home to be perfect in every way. The property was just as described. Careful thought has been given to every aspect of the property ... a kitchen stocked with essential ingredients and cookware, artwork representative of local artisans, a Bose sound system and amazing views from every window. While we spent some time touring Joshua Tree National Park, the majority of our time was spent exploring the back yard and relaxing in the wonderful space of the house. Highlights would include soaking in the outside tub while gazing at a star studded sky (and, yes, it was fine in January!), the privacy and solitude found at the property, and the truly spectacular natural surroundings. John and Clea were helpful and immediately responded to any texts. The Modernist Jewel truly is a gem. It was hard to leave and we hope to one day return. Thank you, John and Clea, for providing a place filled with beauty and warmth for us to get some R&R.
Kim - Review Date: 1/15/2016

The host was warm and welcoming when we made our reservation and was very clear with communication. The house was a dream come true in a peaceful and remote area with wide and breathtaking views of the landscape.

Minimal sleek decore, windows galore, beautiful light, great layout, an extremely well equipped kitchen that was so fun to cook in (we made three meals a day during our stay), outdoor shower (accessed through bathroom) and a deep soaking tub outside!

I can not recommend this house highly enough and am excited to return.
Hannah - Review Date: 1/9/2016

We had a lovely (but too short stay) at John and Clea's place. It was perfectly located, beautiful and relaxing. We will be back.
Erin - Review Date: 1/2/2016

An amazing little cabin on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. The entrance itself (northern entrance) isn't too far from the place - if you want to leave the location anyway. Fully stocked kitchen. Even though the shower was outdoors - you don't notice the cold (we went during winter) as the scenery was breathtaking. Having your own rocks to climb and Joshua Trees/Chollas to look at was a great plus! John and Clea were very attentive despite the holiday season and were quick to respond to any questions we had. They even wished me Happy Birthday in the welcome letter. 10/10 will definitely stay here again.
Noel - Review Date: 12/27/2015

Second time here and won't be the last. The cabin always feels like a personal experience and has become an important part of annually refreshing myself in the beautiful desert. It really is a sacred place that is provided here.
Kyle - Review Date: 12/22/2015

We absolutely LOVED our stay in the Modernist Jewel Cabin. I was so excited to stay in Joshua Tree and I knew I wanted a place that felt like I was living right in the park. John & Clea have created this oasis. The cabin is gorgeous and absolutely perfect for 2 people! Even though the weather was unexpectedly cold during our trip we still took advantage of the soaking tub after a long day of hiking. It was fabulous! And there are cotton tail bunnies that live near the cabin!?! What's not to love? We will absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Joshua Tree. I could not recommend this location more.
Briana - Review Date: 12/1/2015

We absolutely loved the modern cabin! Feels very secluded with incredible views of Joshua Tree! The outdoor tub is fantastic and easily fits two. The outdoor shower is very cool! Just an all around incredible property. I would highly recommend it!
Timothy - Review Date: 11/19/2015

The Modernist Jewel was exactly what we were looking for-a true escape! The cabin was clean, comfortable and beautiful! I would recommend this airbnb to any couple looking to get away and re-connect !
Katherine - Review Date: 11/6/2015

Simply put… PERFECTION!

MAGICAL.

Stunning views any direction you look (inside and out, day or night).
A peacefulness that instantly fills your soul.

John & Clea have created a “cabin” that matches the property’s beauty & zen. Comfortable. Stylish. Beauty of design. Attention & perfection in every detail. Breathtaking views from every window.

From the minute you pull up, you won’t want to ever leave. Two comfortable chaise loungers are under the covered patio as you approach the door. Lounge chair towels were awaiting our arrival, so we immediately took our places & admired the stunning view of the granite boulders. Upon entering the spotless cabin, we found that our wonderful hosts had left us a personal note, a bottle of wine, a perfect list of all of the information we might need during our stay & a yoga pass (which sadly we didn’t have opportunity to use… but WILL be sure to on our next visit).

John & Clea made everything easy (every step of the way) & made us feel extremely welcome.

The photos online are gorgeous but in person… it is EVEN BETTER! After seeing the photos, staying at the Modernist Jewel was on our bucketlist. After staying, RETURNING to the cabin is on our bucketlist!

If we had to pick a favorite thing about the cabin, we’d say “The views… no. wait… the sound of the wind blowing through the quiet desert property… no. wait… feeding the bunnies that John & Clea left bunny chow for… no. wait… showering or soaking in truly stunning scenery… no. wait… the attention to detail in EVERY design choice… no. wait… how welcome we felt…” You get the idea.

Thank you John & Clea for a truly magical & memorable trip that will make our hearts smile each time we think of our time in the desert.

Jody - Review Date: 11/3/2015

My wife and I spent our three year anniversary in this lovely cabin. We have used AirBnB in Paris and Rome, but so far this one is our favorite! It was a beautiful cabin, literally right on the border of the national park with some of the most beautiful views you will ever see. The cabin has everything you need for a weekend or extended stay. John and Clea were excellent hosts, with great recommendations that made our stay even better. The cabin is immaculate, clean, and a perfect getaway spot for some solace and relaxation. I can't recommend this cabin enough! It was our first time in Joshua Tree, and it certainly won't be our last. We will definitely return, and we can't wait to stay in the Modernist Cabin again!
Aaron - Review Date: 10/26/2015

We had an absolutely magical time. The setting was completely breathtaking and the cabin was incredibly cool and modern while still feeling very cozy. Hope to come back again soon!
Juliette - Review Date: 10/22/2015

As advertised! John & Clea's was everything we could have imagined. The backyard was exactly like the interior of Joshua tree national Park. What a beautiful quiet place to hang out for the night after a long day of hiking in the heat. Wonderful hosts. Terrific exotic accommodations. Thank you!!! We'll be back!!!
Doug - Review Date: 10/16/2015

It's a perfect getaway for two! We really loved this place. Equipped with everything you need and done with lot of love. If you are looking for a quite and outstanding location, that's the place to be. Would recommend to everybody!
Alexander - Review Date: 10/13/2015

Made to feel very welcome with fresh flowers, wine and yoga vouchers. The jewel is perfectly set in the most beautiful of surroundings, and is a well designed space in which you can't help but be relaxed. If it's free, don't consider booking anything else.
Cheryl - Review Date: 9/24/2015

Upon arrival, we fell immediately in love with the Jewel. It is a beautiful contemporary building that manages to reflect its homestead roots, nestled perfectly into the gorgeous desert landscape. And this is its particular charm, the landscape surrounding the property is exquisite - if you want to experience a golden slice of the desert in serene comfort and privacy, then this is IT.
Of our extensive 20 year travels in the American South West staying in many different forms of accommodation, the Modernist Jewel is the most attractive, beguiling, comfortable and being so intimately connected with the desert through outdoor shower and tub, the oddly moving too.
Thank you John and Clea - very worthy owners of the Airbnb Super Host status. We will return!

Marianne - Review Date: 9/21/2015

Stop searching now. You have found THE BEST. John & Cleas Cabin is an outstanding and unique place. It was simply fantastic and comfortable to stay here. We loved it!
Silvia - Review Date: 9/15/2015

We loved this place. The location is amazing. Though there are a few houses nearby it felt isolated and very private. The views are stunning. The house is impeccable. Great attention to detail. Fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. Very clean, top of the line furnishings. BBQ and fire pit available. Loved the outdoor bath with a view. Joshua Tree Coffee and Crossroads Cafe are highly recommended. We hope to come back to JT and this rental soon
Liza - Review Date: 9/7/2015

It's a very stylish house absolutely near to the Joshua Tree National Park up in the hills of the desert. We liked the great views.
Rolf-Peter - Review Date: 8/19/2015

We never even considered going to the desert for our anniversary, but after seeing this listing, the Modernist Jewel became our destination. The house was so fresh and modern. The lines, inspiring. The silence, rejuvenating. The best part was the outdoor shower and bath. The host was so easy to talk to and was gracious enough to allow us to check in early. This place is truly a gem!
Gretchen - Review Date: 8/10/2015

This was a wonderful spot in a beautiful landscape. Everything was very well organized, clean and thought out. John and Clea went above and beyond to make it a great experience. They have a beautiful sense of style which is expressed in the design of the house. We would definitely recommend this to anybody interested in visiting Joshua Tree. Five stars.
Sepehr - Review Date: 8/3/2015

We came here for a mini retreat and a celebration of Dominic's birthday. This place was way more than what we had expected. As others put it, no amount of pictures could show how beautiful John and Clea's home is and of course, Joshua tree.

John and Clea made us feel right at home and was more than compassionate towards us. I even got a phone call a couple days before our trip because they had experienced heavy rain fall and Clea was worried about what car we were going to bring and if it will survive the dirt road. She provided suggestions and even offered to move our stay another time for safety but we couldn't move our days off so we just set out for our adventure and it was well worth it. Everything went by smoothly and we didn't have any issues (thankfully).

We were welcomed with a bottle of champagne, a very clean and beautiful cabin, and a warm welcome note for all questions that may need to be answered. Clea was very responsive and provided us with places to eat (although we made use of the kitchen the entire time) and hiking areas.

We hiked in the backyard majority of the time and it was nice to get lost for a little bit. It was indeed a relaxing trip and thanks to John and Clea for accommodating us and sharing with us their home.

It was a great first Airbnb experience.
Maria - Review Date: 7/28/2015

Photos can not capture the amazing experience it is to stay at the "Modernist Jewel." Thoughtfully designed home and yard to give you everything you need for a peaceful and relaxing weekend.
Ramin - Review Date: 7/20/2015

My boyfriend Shane and I had a wonderful time! John and Clea were super responsive to my questions about the place and local spots. Great hosts! It was so helpful. Everything was very clear about how to use appliances. We enjoyed the cowboy tub, loungers, outdoor shower, and amazing views. We were able to explore and take photos/play music...it was a very inspiring and relaxing trip. Would for sure come back! PS...even left a charger and Clea is mailing it back to us. So kind :)
Ashley - Review Date: 7/17/2015

My husband and I stayed in John and Clea's Modernist Cabin this past weekend over the 4th of July and had an incredible time. The cabin is beautiful, full of large picture windows that allow you to feel connected to the landscape during the hot hours of the day when you are relaxing inside sipping rose. The mattress (Casper I think) is very comfortable and perfect for long naps or crashing after a full day of hiking in Joshua Tree National Park. We brought groceries for the long weekend and used the house grill, pots and pans, as well as enjoyed a night out at Pappy and Harriet's (http://www.pappyandharriets.com/) for live music and a cool local vibe. The Integratron is not to missed, located aprox 30min from the cabin offering Sound Baths, an experience you will never forget. Make a reso in advance to ensure you are able to attend, it fills up fast (http://integratron.com/sound-bath/) and is worth it.

Overall there is not enough space to write how incredible our weekend was. We saw lots of wild life including bunnies, coyotes and lizards, and listened to the birds sing all day. The sunset and sky at night are breath-taking, perfect for star gazing or relaxing in the lounge chairs. John and Clea are very responsive and put a lot of care and personalization into our experience. Who doesn't want to be greeted at the door with a note, bottle of wine and complimentary yoga class pass wishing you a great stay? We already plan to come back in the future. Thank you John and Clea for everything.

Julia - Review Date: 7/7/2015

It's been a few days since we left the Modernist Jewel and I can't remember how many people I've already recommended it to. Our stay was incredible. It is the perfect Joshua Tree get away for 2. The outdoor tub and a private boulder are spectacular, and you are a few foot steps away from the National Park. John & Clea were both super receptive and very hospitable too.
Adam - Review Date: 6/30/2015

This is our second stay at the modernist jewel. John and Clea were excellent hosts. They remembered my fiancée and I got engaged in our last stay, they swapped the bottle of wine for champagne. Their attention to detail and nice personal touches really add to entire experience.
Ben - Review Date: 6/23/2015

My partner and I had an amazing time at John & Clea's home. It was absolutely perfect and the images, while amazing, do not do justice to the beauty of the surrounding area and the views. When we arrived there was a bottle of wine and a personalized note explaining everything to us. Each step of the way John and Clea were accessible and helpful. The home itself is exactly as the pictures show but somehow better. If you're looking for a quiet, secluded and extremely comfortable place to spend a weekend by yourself, with a friend or loved one then this place is absolutely perfect. We would happily go back anytime.
Sebastian - Review Date: 6/18/2015

Fantastic.
Eamonn - Review Date: 6/7/2015

The place was amazing. Even better than my wife and I expected. It was such a great experience I almost didn't want to write a review and keep this gem all to ourselves, but it's to good not to share. I can't imagine any place in Joshua Tree topping this location.
Josh - Review Date: 6/1/2015

This is such an amazing place to stay! We were greeted with a bottle of wine and free yoga classes when we arrived. The gourmet kitchen made every meal feel like we were eating at an expensive restaurant. I was telling my husband that our weekend was like going to a retreat without the added expense (or the extra people around). The property is very private and remote with all of the amenities provided. Such a beautiful nature escape with a well-appointed modern vibe!
Leila - Review Date: 5/26/2015

We spent 3 days at the Modernist Jewel and it was, indeed, a Gem in the desert. Wow! What an amazing location. You really can walk right out of the door into one of the most beautiful parts of Joshua Tree National Park. We hiked all 3 days and enjoyed the modern cabin completely. Cooked breakfast and dinner in the Gourmet Kitchen. Watched the wild life from the lounge chairs and the picture window. If you are up early, you may be fortunate to see coyotes strolling by on their way home. We saw three. Also saw cottontails, orioles, hummingbirds and a roadrunner. Comfortable bed? Yes! Great outdoor shower? Indeed! And if you love music, bring some along. Fantastic Bose sound system! We listened to the sound track of "The Great Beauty" while we watched the day light fade into night. it was magical.
Sandra Louise - Review Date: 5/15/2015

John & Clea made us feel welcome from the minute we booked by being so available to answer questions about both the house and the Joshua Tree area. We arrived to a bottle of wine and personal note, along with a thorough list of instructions that made our stay carefree. The house itself was perfect, and we had everything we could have needed. The bistro lights outside, the candles, the feed for the native rabbits, the artwork, the free yoga pass, plenty of maps, and the personal touches made us feel totally at home. The outdoor spaces were so lovely, we honestly never wanted to leave!
Dani - Review Date: 5/11/2015

I couldn't recommend this home more highly. Everything about it was perfect!
Sara - Review Date: 5/4/2015

This place is simply amazing. The lighting of the rocks right outside and privacy and area couldn't be better. The style of the place is great and it's just the perfect size for two. They obviously put tremendous care into making it perfect for every person that stays there, from cooking supplies to body soap to personalized notes and great communication.
Jen - Review Date: 4/30/2015

What an amazing cabin and area. Spectacular views and natural surroundings, the pictures couldn't ever do it justice. The place was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed to cook several awesome meals, relax and enjoy our weekend stay. Wouldn't hesitate to head back to stay here again in the future, in fact it would be really hard to stay anywhere else after staying here.
Joel - Review Date: 4/27/2015

This modernist jewel is even better than the photos and description depict! Every detail of the house is just perfect. You will be wanting for nothing. Equally as spectacular is the location - a living diorama of the desert is at your feet, and you will feel the energy of the desert every single minute you are in the house or on the grounds. Several mornings we headed straight out of the backyard and walked for hours without seeing another person. Early evening soaking in the outdoor tub, watching and hearing the life all around is just such a treat, how wonderful that John and Clea thought of the outdoor tub! John and Clea are GREAT hosts, they are organized, meticulous, welcoming and they go the extra mile. Clea arranged for us to have private yoga and energy sesssions/massages with Neysa - a magical, MUST-MUST-DO experience. Thank you John and Clea, we cannot wait to return!
Dianne - Review Date: 4/24/2015

We were blown away by this place, we honestly didn't want to leave! The location is unbelievable, your own private boulders and national park outside your window, lit up at night with their clever lighting. The semi outdoor shower is wonderful, watching this same view every time you shower! And the outdoor bathtub fantastic too! One of the most well equipped kitchens we've stayed in, including a brilliant Bose sound system, every tiny detail has been thought of at this place. Fluffy new white towels, and a black towel to wash your makeup off. Towels for the outdoor bathtub too! It's a perfect quiet, romantic retreat for two. If I had to pick one downfall it would be that the lighting inside is very dark, but seeing as that added to the romance all was forgiven. Many thanks, I hope we can return one day!
Sarah - Review Date: 4/18/2015

Had a fantastic stay in the Modernist Jewel and would highly recommend! The unit was extremely clean and had everything you could need including a well-stocked kitchen. Location is nicely secluded and literally borders the national park. Hope to be back!

Your place is truly amazing. Your attention to even the smallest detail is just so kind. You have thought of everything! Thank you so much for a perfect stay and thanks again for having us.
Sara - Review Date: 4/4/2015

The modernist cabin gracefully captures the essence of the desert surroundings. From the spectacular panoramic desert landscape views where you can watch sunrises and sunsets to the towering boulders just steps away, this cabin offers an immersive experience. We enjoyed the architectural details and incredible simplistic design. Every design detail was obviously considered. The floor to ceiling windows blur the boundaries between indoors and outside. We enjoyed sipping wine and star gazing in the outdoor galvanized tub. The cabin provides serenity yet is close to everything you need, and just a few miles from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance. We loved staying here and place this among the top rental experiences we have had through our global travels.
Angela Suzanne - Review Date: 3/23/2015

What an amazing time we had! The cabin is indeed a jewel, the peace and proximity to the park are unbelievable. The hosts were so thoughtful and have clearly spent a lot of time making sure that their guests will have everything they need and more. My husband and I are already looking for our next available weekend to go back to the cabin. Thanks so much, John and Clea!
Domniki - Review Date: 3/16/2015

Amazing desert getaway with gracious, kind hosts. We stayed here for two nights and had a great time. It will be a place to return to for sure. The space is small, but didn't end up feeling that way because of the set up and large windows. It seems connected with the beautiful surrounding landscape and had everything we needed while there.

Thank you John & Clea!
Michael - Review Date: 3/6/2015

This was my second stay in the cabin, and it was as lovely as ever. The weather was a bit cooler, which was nice for exploring the beautiful landscape. You can literally walk into Joshua tree from the backyard!
This is a super lovely, quiet, spot, and the cabin is clean, well-kept, beautifully designed. Every amenity you need (I especially enjoy the outdoor bathtub for bathing among the joshua trees).
John and Clea were accommodating and welcoming, and I look forward to returning soon.
Juliet - Review Date: 3/4/2015

Wow, this place is amazing! The house feels like it is right in the park. When you think of Joshua Tree, its about the amazing desert terrain, large boulders, cactus, and the Joshua trees that you find scattered about. This place has it all. The house is very secluded and it was a treat to wake up each day to amazing views of the landscape. This a place you will not soon forget. We can't wait to go back.

The hosts John and Clea were super attentive and ensured we had a great stay.
Ben - Review Date: 3/1/2015

The modernist jewel was aptly named! The small cabin had lots of thoughtful details, including a well-supplied kitchen and great sound system, and of course beautiful views of the desert during the day and stars at night. A perfect and peaceful getaway!

The Modernist Cabin is a meditation on the light, poetry, and style of this special place—Joshua Tree. This marvel has been sculpted with love and expert attention to detail including precise (and gorgeous!) lighting and windows, to an excellent sound system, and creature comforts like quality towels, lounge chairs, and linens. There exists a wonderful balance of indoor and outdoor living space, privacy, and spartan elegance. One of my favorite gestures is that the cabin is tastefully decorated with works from local artists. The National Park boundary is steps from the cabin and wildlife teems including sweet little rabbits, birds, and the occasional coyote howl in the late night. This place is perfectly suited to slow down, drink in the impressive landscape, retreat, and renew. The hosts are warm, welcoming, and take wonderful care to make sure all is right.

John and Clea were perfect hosts. They responded promptly to my inquires and were timely and direct about the schedule for our arrival and departure. Our stay included Valentines Day and we found some thoughtful welcoming treats upon our arrival that set the tone for a very private and relaxing week of birdwatching and reading on the patio chaises, exploring the park by walking directly into it and venturing further afield by car, and spending the evenings marveling at the sunsets and preparing tasty meals in the well stocked kitchen. The modernist cabin has what so many other places lack–clean, functional spaces that are a joy to inhabit. Our stay left us feeling revived and invigorated and so happy to be under the Joshua Tree sun rather than cold winter clouds back east. Kudos to Clea and John for sharing such a gem!

This place is amazing. We had a lovely stay, and the hosts were incredibly gracious. They thought of everything to make sure our stay was great.
Benjamin - Review Date: 2/13/2015

This place was absolutely amazing! The house had everything we needed and was totally charming. The views were beyond anything I could describe and I don't even think the photos fully do it justice. The view is just breathtaking. I think the best part is watching the sunset from the outdoor bathtub. Nothing like it. Super relaxing and romantic while being so so simple. Thank you for the most enjoyable weekend!

The Modernist Jewel is wonderfully designed and is in an ideal location for accessing Joshua Tree National Park. The property itself is beautiful, its feels like your in the park. We utilized the fully equipped kitchen to cook most of our meals (there is also a outdoor bbq grill). The outdoor shower and tub were an awesome . The Bose sound system was a nice touch. The owners were very accommodating All in all this is an amazing house at a great value. We will be back.

Spent an incredible couple of days at the Modernist Jewel. It was even more amazing in person than in photos. John and Clea are incredible hosts and provide all the essentials for an awesome trip. Hope to be back very soon!

I've stayed at some great places through AirBnB but this was my favorite so far. The cabin is beautiful, the view is gorgeous, and the privacy was nice.
The place is designed well with local art and it was super clean and well-stocked with anything we'd need.
Nick - Review Date: 1/24/2015

My wife and I stayed for two nights celebrating our 15th anniversary and our experience was wonderful! A beautiful space in a serene setting with complete privacy and breathtaking views combined with fantastic weather made for the perfect time. It was a nice surprise to find champagne and treats when we arrived and relaxing to sit out while the sun set on the patio visited by the birds and wildlife. We brought the telescope and got some star gazing in with clear skies at night. I wish I could have gotten down to the yoga studio in the morning, but it was relaxing to just sleep in and do a little hike right from the back door. I was really impressed by the restaurants in town and was happy with the vegan options - rare find in rural places. Thank you John and Clea!
Karl - Review Date: 1/20/2015

John and Clea were very helpful and communicative in arranging or visit to their fantastic cabin. We had a wonderfully quiet and peaceful stay at the cabin, just what we needed after a few days on the road. The place itself was beautifully furnished with the kitchen nicely equipped to cook a few simple meals, do your grocery shopping in advance if you don't want to drive down the dirt road to the nearby village for supplies! Thanks for a wonderful stay John and Clea, we would love to be back again soon
Wei - Review Date: 1/13/2015

This place is so incredibly special I'm a little reluctant to leave a review in order to keep the amazing-ness of this place to a minimum.

First of all, John and Clea we're really accommodating, quick to respond and very pleasant to work with.

Their place; fantastic. My girlfriend and I wanted to spend some intimate time somewhere reclusive and the Modernist Jewel perfectly fit this bill. We were there for three nights and I could have easily stayed longer just sitting and staring at their "backyard" which consists or larger boulders of monzonite granite. Very relaxing in a spectacular way.

At our arrival, we were greeted with a message and some goodies. What I really liked (besides the fully stocked kitchen in which my girlfriend and I became chef and sous-chef in every night) were the self guided tour books for the neighboring Joshua Tree National Monument Josh and Clea provided. We ended up using one and spending four hours driving through Joshua Tree, which we never originally intended. Side note; the high desert is extremely beautiful in its own way.

Best for last; this place will forever me a special place to my girlfriend-now-fiance. With a beautiful backdrop, reclusive aura and quiet space I was provided the perfect place to propose (which was a large reason why I chose the Modernist Jewel). After she said yes, we enjoyed the feeling over the next couple days of being engaged before telling family and friends when we departed.

In conclusion, this has all the bells and whistles of a modern hotel (loved the Bose surround sound) accompanied with the feel of outdoor camping and seclusion. Would definitely recommend this to others!

PS. But please don't book it when we decide to celebrate our engagement here in future years ;)
Jacade - Review Date: 1/8/2015

The modernist jewel was a great location for accessing the park. It was nice to have a fully stocked kitchen to cook meals. We stayed while it was very chilly outside (20 degrees) and the outdoorsy shower and tub were still pleasant to utilize. The owners answered our questions very quickly and were easy to work with. Loved our stay and would return the next time we are in the area. Our favorite place to go was Pappy and Harriet's. Great place to see awesome live music, drinks, food and people watching! A awd vehicle was nice to have going to/from the house as the sandy road was quite bumpy.
Karis - Review Date: 1/5/2015

The Modernist Jewel is absolutely perfect for a quiet escape to Joshua Tree. The space is perfect for a couple. It includes everything you need to be comfortable (nice towels, comfortable bed, well-stocked kitchen, etc) as well as some "extras" like the fantastic sound system and yoga passes. Do not be intimidated by the outdoor shower. We visited during a cold snap and found the shower totally refreshing. The cabin is ideally located for exploring Joshua Tree and manages to feel quite remote without actually being far from town. At night we could see billions of stars from the comfort of the warm, cozy bed. During the day, I spent hours on the back porch reading books in the sunshine.

John & Clea are excellent hosts. Everything was well-communicated and in good order. I highly recommend this place!
Danielle - Review Date: 12/29/2014

The Modernist Jewel is a great couples retreat in Joshua Tree! It's located far enough from other residents so you have privacy (we never saw a neighbor), yet it is not too far from the National Park. We cooked breakfast and dinner both days and they had everything we needed. The clear welcome instructions, bottle of wine and yoga passes were very thoughtful. The Joshua Tree information/hiking book was also helpful. We really enjoyed our weekend and would do it again. :)
Kristine - Review Date: 12/22/2014

Wow! The cabin is perfectly designed and is in the most spectacular location - just at the edge of Joshua Tree. We loved gazing out of the window at the landscape and also watching the super cute cottontails come to feed at dusk. We missed our flight and were delayed by 24 hours. John and Clea made the whole visit stress free and even let us check out late so we got to spend more time in the cabin. There is so much attention to detail - the house has everything you might need, clear instructions and even yoga vouchers. All in all - a perfect airbnb! Really hope to visit again. Thanks both!
Shema - Review Date: 12/18/2014

The property and location are lovely, and John and Clea were accommodating in every way. We stayed at the Modernist Jewel for 3 nights and our only regret is not having booked it for longer!
Cosme - Review Date: 12/14/2014

We loved it! The Modernist Cabin was even better than the heart photos, and the location and views are breathtaking. John and Clea were great hosts, very responsive and attentive, and they've appointed the cabin with everything you could need. The outdoor shower was such a nice experience and the cowboy bathtub was a very fun and unique amenity. Will be back and also be recommending to friends!
David - Review Date: 12/9/2014

An absolutely wonderful and magical experience. Every attention to detail was met and exceeded. My fiancée and I spent 3 nights there and every minute was a relaxing and enlightening desert experience. The cabin is near to town while at the same time being at the very border of the Joshua Tree park, so it was private and the whole desert felt like a big backyard to sit in and reflect. The kitchen was great and so much was provided. Coffee, tea, oatmeal and a bottle of wine were there for us and the kitchen came equipped with everything needed to make every meal that we wanted. If we had known it was so well equipped, we might have done even more grocery shopping! The outdoor tub was very relaxing and with the on-demand hot water heater was an instant perfect hot tub for the cold desert nights. Really, so much was taken care of that it's hard to even list off all the subtle details that made this place so perfect. You and yours owe yourself this perfect way to experience the high desert, and say hi to the bunnies for us.
Kyle - Review Date: 12/7/2014

Wonderful stay. The place was impeccable, John and Clea had every detail accounted for. An A+ experience!
Mike - Review Date: 11/14/2014

This was perhaps our best Airbnb experience. The space is beautiful and clean and provided everything we needed. John and Clea were really thoughtful from the minute we were accepted, we had excellent communication with them. The space is beautifully decorated, with a few great and unique amenities. The outdoor shower is amazingly refreshing, as was the outdoor bathtub! The location itself could not be better. As guests who value our privacy, we felt really alone at this place (except for the rabbits that come out at night). We enjoyed walking around the park area that was the "back yard" to this space, but the location is great to drive to the actual Joshua Tree Park entrance. The place is bright, beautiful and vibrant, with lots of bright windows and some great outdoor relaxation areas (the outdoor patio is a great touch!) We highly, highly, highly recommend the Modernist Jewel.
Steven - Review Date: 11/6/2014

My boyfriend and I just stayed at the cabin and had an amazing time. . The experience as a whole was magical. The views are incredibly beautiful. We will definitely be staying here next time we are in Joshua Tree. Thank you so much John and Clea for making our anniversary unforgettable!
Luz Alejandra - Review Date: 10/27/2014

Staying in John and Clea's cabin was an unforgettable experience.
The cabin is clean, beautifully designed, quiet, and the perfect size for me (a single traveler). Best of all, it offers unbelievable views of the magnificent desert landscape that surrounds it. I could not have imagined a more perfect way to experience Joshua Tree. The park is literally steps away! John and Clea were attentive, accommodating, and very thoughtful. I will definitely be returning again.
Juliet - Review Date: 10/11/2014

This place is incredible! We were delighted when we arrived to discover that this place was even more impressive than the photos. The design. The details. The lighting. The picture frame windows that make the desert seem like artwork on the walls. Very happy with the place and plan on making this a place to come back to as often as possible. This is an excellent Joshua Tree getaway if you are looking for quiet relaxation.
David - Review Date: 9/15/2014

I loved staying at the "Modernist Jewel"!!! So much thought and detail went into making this the perfect, romantic retreat! The design and architecture both were impressive. I loved the sound system, the fully equipped kitchen, the lounge chairs, and the view of the boulders as we ate breakfast outside. We did not want to leave! John & Clea were very communicative and helpful during our stay. This was our first time in Joshua Tree. I booked the cabin (and weekend trip) as a present for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. He loved it! This cabin definitely made this trip an unforgettable experience! I want to come back and stay here!
Davy - Review Date: 8/4/2014

This place is so wonderful and made for a peaceful introduction for my first trip to Joshua Tree. The cabin is clean, cool and beautiful. The note with the cabin details was personalized and that was a super nice touch. John and Clea were very communicative beforehand and answered all my questions.

This is one of the best AirBnBs that I've ever stayed in. I kinda don't want anyone to know how awesome it is, so it won't get so busy to come back in the future!

We will definitely be back!
Jenna - Review Date: 8/2/2014

I couldn't recommend this cabin highly enough. Beautifully laid out, very comfortable and everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The location is stunning and the novelty of the peace and quiet doesn't wear off.
Simon - Review Date: 7/4/2014

With very clear directions I was able to arrive at John & Clea's cabin with no issues at all (the road to the house is a dirt road, so it's probably best to bring your biggest vehicle, if not take it slow 10-15mph up the road).

The cabin itself is spectacular, with a shaded patio that opens directly into the home and ultimately leads out to a dining area with a soaking tub, BBQ and table for dining. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a ton of closet space. The bathroom is fully stocked and the enclosed outdoor shower is something to be experienced.

My favorite part of the property was how it literally sat on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. You can just start walking away from the home and before you know it you're in the park. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again.
Adrian - Review Date: 6/16/2014

A truly amazing getaway. Both for the view over the desert and for the cabin being a work of art itself. Worth every penny. We could have spent less and stayed in a nice place in Palm Springs or another home in the area. But the modernist jewel was what we needed and we will definitely come back. John and Clea are always amazing hosts. Top notch in every way. Thanks J/C!
Elton - Review Date: 5/13/2014

We loved staying at the Modernist Jewel in JT! The views from the house were spectacular, and we were just a short drive from the JT park entrance. John and Clea added the personal touch of a "happy birthday" bottle of champagne and yoga passes (from their studio). We loved the evening yoga class - much needed after a day of hiking! The kitchen was well equipped (we cooked all of our meals) and the full size bed was comfortable. Loved the bathroom and it's outdoor shower! We even made use of the tub outside and soaked in the sun! Check in / out was smooth (easy to follow directions on the counter) - although, you can't really trust an iPhone to find the address! haha! Cleo was very helpful with directions to the place, once we realized that the GPS was not an option! We arrived after dark and really appreciated the lights being on for when we arrived. Thank you for everything!
Victoria - Review Date: 5/8/2014

We had a fantastic time at the cabin, it was perfect for our needs. John and Clea were a total class act, the house and property were clean, there were fresh flowers out, wine, and a very handy clipboard with everything we needed to know. I'll admit my first action after reading everything was to throw a scoop of food out for the local bunnies :) The house and the scenery is better than the photos even depict, its remote while still being convenient. If we are in Joshua Tree again we would rent here again without hesitation. One small word of caution maybe ask for something better than the compact rental car, the road leading to the house is rough.
Katherine Megan - Review Date: 4/26/2014

John and Clea were absolutely amazing hosts, and honestly, the pics don't do the place justice. When we arrived, there was a personalized note for us and a bottle of wine. They were incredibly responsive throughout our stay and addressed all our questions before and during our stay. The kitchen was well equipped though not extensive. The scenery is beautiful and the sound from their bose was really impressive. It's such a romantic beautiful setting that my beau decided to propose to me earlier than what they were originally planning, "because it was too beautiful of a setting to pass up the opportunity". It was honestly the best airbnb experience to date, even if you don't count the proposal.
Alice - Review Date: 4/12/2014

The "Modernist Jewel" was absolute perfection. I cannot say enough nice things about this magical space. John and Clea thought of everything. The entire home from the kitchen to the bathroom to the outdoor areas were completely thought out and equipped with everything you could possibly need. We spent the majority of our days hiking right in our own backyard and nights under the stars bbq'ing and enjoying wine in our tub, but this place is just as great to lie out, take in the scenery and enjoy the warm desert sun during the day. We had an amazing time in this home and can't wait to come back!!
Tina - Review Date: 4/10/2014

Such a peaceful place to rest your head and refresh! The views are unbeatable...even the one from the shower! If you are heading to Joshua Tree, you really should stay at the "Modernist Jewel"! Everything you need is there...an outdoor bathtub for 2, a relaxing shower with amazing views, all of the kitchen amenities you could need so you can stay in and enjoy a relaxing evening and the Bose surround system is such a great perk!

We will definitely be back!
Carrie - Review Date: 4/7/2014

Beautiful cabin amongst the boulders. Very clean and well equipped. Lots of cottontail bunnies and Jackrabbits. Amazing views. Great place to unwind and take in nature.
Merika - Review Date: 3/31/2014

Our stay at the Modernist Jewel was perfect in every way! What an incredibly special, wonderful place. John & Clea were so helpful & thoughtful: they not only gave us detailed recommendations for places to hike, eat, and play but also supplemented the (already gorgeous) cabin with lovely surprises- everything from fragrant fresh lilies to a delicious bottle of wine. After a log day of exploring the park it was so delightful to come back to our cozy home away from hom, relax by the outdoor fire pit and grill up some dinner all the while taking in the magical desert landscape that surrounded us. We will be back for sure! Thank you for making our trip to Joshua Tree so memorable.
Amira - Review Date: 3/24/2014

We had an amazing weekend at the Modernist Jewel exploring Joshua Tree and the Palm Springs area. You can literally walk out into the Joshua Tree national park from the backyard of this place. The place is beautifully sunlight, well-decorated with local artwork, and even had fresh flowers in vases! It's a small space but perfect for two. We made breakfast, enjoyed the outdoor shower, and thoroughly enjoyed climbing the boulders outside.

Highly recommended! John and Clea were wonderful the whole way through.
Julie - Review Date: 3/17/2014

Simply magical! My husband and I stayed for 2 nights for our babymoon retreat and we wish we could have stayed for at least 3! The Joshua Tree area is one of beauty and serenity, and the Modernist Cabin capitalized well on that. The indoor accommodations were smartly laid out from clean lines and beautiful natural tones with a modernist edge, to incorporating the outdoors when inside (all the large windows!). We absolutely loved the outdoor shower and a nice soak in the cowboy tub under the stars. The lighting ideally placed outside to showcase the cactus' and boulders was such a unique touch! This location is remote enough to where we enjoyed visits from local birds (mtn quail), lizards, bunnies and jack rabbits. Coyotes were heard at night, but we sadly didn't see them. It was such a wonderful experience that we look forward to a future stay!
Angel Samolytz & Aaron - Review Date: 3/10/2014

We have never stayed anywhere like this before and probably never will again. Until our next stay an the Modernist Jewel of course! John and Clea were extremely easy to get a hold of and more than happy with any questions we had. We were a little concerned driving to the cabin after nightfall, but if us LA folk can manage it, anyone can! The drive from the main road up to the cabin is fairly bumpy, but doable. The cabin sits the farthest back into the beautiful desert backdrop compared to any of its closest neighbors. Making you feel wonderfully isolated, aside from little furry bunny friends that occasionally came by to say hello. The space is extremely intimate so having over 2 people would definitely be a squeeze. Although we visited during the winter the cabin kept a cozy temperature. But do remember that since the shower is exposed to the outside it will be quite brisk!

You are less than a 10 minute drive from the West entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. Or if you are adventurous, you can just explore your backyard which leads into the park.

The voucher for a free yoga class at the local studio in downtown Joshua Tree was an unexpected bonus! While in the desert, do yoga? It only added to the relaxed feeling of our entire weekend. We cannot thank both John and Clea so much for inviting us into this magical place they have carefully created and I am sure you will have the same experience!
Stephanie - Review Date: 3/3/2014

Wow, wow, wow! Such a find, amazing remote location on the edge of Joshua Tree....everything that you need is here, in the perfect house. Walls of windows, star lit skies at night, huge soaking tub and priceless views. Even outdoor lights to light up the view of the boulders at night. I'm still not over it, we loved our stay and I love every single thing about this place. Such sweet conversations with our hosts too, even after our stay we got recommendations of where to go at our next stop. Can't say enough great things, if you have the chance- go! It's heaven.
Daniel - Review Date: 3/1/2014

Amazing experience. My wife and I booked a few days to get away from the Canadian cold. My best AirBnB experience so far.
The hosts were gracious and replied instantly and checked in several times to keep communication flowing. The location of the cabin is reachable via google maps so no issues with finding it.

The space itself was magical. The photos are just a start. Cooking dinner during a desert sunset while listening to a whole-home Bose system was a highlight, along with the outdoor shower.

Wildlife count in 48 hours:
5 cottontail bunnies
3 coyotes
2 lizards
1 roadrunner
1 long-eared hare

Mark - Review Date: 2/19/2014

What a cute, clean fun cabin set in the backdrop of Joshua Tree National Park. A bottle of red and a box of chocolates were waiting for us upon arrival. Extra bonus! The cabin was perfect for a romantic getaway. Lots of great lighting, comfortable, well-stocked kitchen. Fun to take an outdoor shower under the stars. Close to town, shopping and Integratron. I would recommend this place and would stay here again if I come back.
Mary - Review Date: 2/17/2014

John and Clea are gracious hosts.
A ton of personal touches made our trip fantastic:
-Detailed directions and great communication
-Views from every window (even spotted a couple of roadrunners while showering)
-Welcome bottle of Cava to help celebrate our 10th anniversary
-Super soft towels (and water)
-Nice uplighting on the outdoor plants and boulder
-Fresh flowers
-Food for the jack rabbits
-Several different hiking trails from the house
-Well stocked kitchen for preparation of all our meals
-Flexible check in and out for our weekday stay
-Books about Joshua Tree
-Free wifi
-Free yoga class for 2 (unfortunately we didn't have enough time in our day to take)
-Sound system for your cds and/or iPhone iPod (with their supplied aux connector)
-Local artwork on the wall (avail for purchase)
-Charcoal bbq with chimney starter
-Moveable fire pit (bring/buy firewood and marshmallows)

One can tell a lot of thought and love went into this modern jewel. We hope to come back when it's a little warmer to appreciate the night sky and outdoor tub.
Christina - Review Date: 2/13/2014

We had a great stay at the Modernist Cabin. John and Clea were very communicative and responsive, which we always appreciate. The house is amazing, like being inside and outside at the same time. And right on the park border! Illuminated boulder/plant option in the evening is a great theatrical touch.
Would stay here again in a minute! Thanks!
John - Review Date: 2/6/2014

John and Clea were incredibly welcoming, providing maps for the park and very concise directions for how to find and use their tucked away cabin. I had a fantastic time enjoying their home and relaxing away from it all. Thanks again!
Brandon - Review Date: 2/2/2014

This place is so amazing. It's right on the park border, so feels remote, but it's actually close to everything. While I was there I felt so at peace and in harmony with nature. It was exactly what I wanted. The hosts were so accommodating. I was even surprised with a welcome bottle of wine. The organization and communication was perfect. I knew exactly where everything was and how to work it. There was even a Bose surround sound system for hooking up music. The place was spotless and clean and modern. It is so beautiful and I felt right at home, thanks to the wonderful hosts and their amazing little getaway spot on Joshua Tree. I will definitely go back!
Debra - Review Date: 1/23/2014

John and Clea have an amazing home on a completely unique property. Every part of the experience was thought out beforehand by the hosts, and their communication was wonderful! I would recommend the Modernist Jewel to anyone - BOOK THIS NOW - you will not regret it. One of the best weekends I've had!
Sarah - Review Date: 1/21/2014

My friend and I stayed in the Modernest Cabin for 2 nights!! Wish had booked more! What a wonderful experience! John and Clea had thought of everything!! We appointed kitchen, Bose sound system, ect ect. Highlights were views from every spot in the house, with total privacy!! We will definitely be back!
Aurora - Review Date: 1/15/2014

Our stay and experience at the Modernist Jewel was far beyond our expectations. The place is a modern slice of desert paradise. Bathtub under the star-littered sky, a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise on the east wing outdoor patio, glass of wine on the west wing outdoor patio, feeding and watching tons of rabbits mingle, hiking/bouldering straight out the backyard with nobody insight, all the kitchen supplies we needed to cook up a storm. The experience was priceless. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Perfect. Clean, great communication, great view, everything just as you see + more. Bose surround system hooks up to ipod/laptop/iphone, and is GREAT.
Muchas gracias!
Serge - Review Date: 12/19/2013

John & Clea are the sweetest people ever and communication before and during the trip was no problem at all. The house is a perfect getaway with abundant amenities. Including, speaker BOSE system, portable fireplace, great lounge chairs with cute lights outside, and outdoor shower. Take a walk out back and watch the sunset-it's gorgeous. Can't wait to come back and visit!
Katherine - Review Date: 12/16/2013

The Modernist Cabin is beautiful, and John and Clea are thoughtful and responsive hosts. It is gorgeously situated on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park, and a perfect retreat. We stayed over Thanksgiving, and the kitchen was more than amply stocked with all the pots and pans and utensils we needed for our two-person feast of turkey, stuffing mashed potatoes, and pie. We will certainly be back!
Claire - Review Date: 12/1/2013

The "Modernist Jewel" is almost beyond description. So cozy and thoughtfully designed, not to mention nestled in honestly one of the most unearthly landscapes in the US, Joshua Tree. You can literally walk out the back door into the park and loose yourself making your own path through the valleys and rock formations.
My husband and I celebrated his 30th birthday weekend here and are still completely in awe of how perfect it was.
We cooked delicious meals everyday, woke up to the sun and a ridiculously beautiful outdoor shower. Made fires at night and enjoyed the outdoor cowboy tub under a blanket of super clear stars.
John and Clea were helpful and super sweet leaving a bottle of champagne for us to celebrate another cycle around the sun. They were available for any questions we had but left us to explore and enjoy the environment ourselves.
We will absolutely be making our way back for another stay very soon. In the meantime, do not hesitate, this place will exceed all of your expectations!!
Sahra - Review Date: 11/26/2013

We loved our stay at the Modernist Jewell. It's a beautifully designed space in a perfect location and the setting is amazing. Floor to ceiling windows that look out directly to the park mean you never have to leave the space to feel connected to Joshua Tree. Giant boulder formations and cacti are illuminated both day and night thanks to well placed outdoor lighting operational from inside. It was far better than I expected. I was unsure whether I'd like the outdoor shower but I loved it. It's very private and has a fantastic view. The hosts are awesome and the place is appointed with pretty much anything you might need. I can't recommend this place enough!
Anne - Review Date: 11/20/2013

Trust me, you want to book this place! We could not have been more thrilled with the wonderful escape John and Clea have created!! I wasn't sure if the place would feel small, if the shower would feel weird, if the tub would be uncomfortable, if we would miss a living room...but once we arrived, I soon discovered that any worries I had were for naught - everything about this place is amazing! John and Clea are also wonderful hosts - they took the time to make some excellent recommendations for food and hikes since we were JTree virgins, and I really think it made our trip so much more enjoyable than if we had been left to our own devices. Thank you guys for a beautiful, memorable JTree weekend! I really cannot recommend this place enough!
Katie - Review Date: 11/11/2013

The Modernist Jewel is an amazing getaway and a great value. The home is gorgeous, and while small, it's so well laid out that we hardly noticed. The siting and orientation of the windows make the desert-scape feel immediate. It is tidy and well appointed, including interesting local art. And John and Clea were generous, responsive and wonderful to work with. We will go back!
Abigail - Review Date: 10/11/2013

My girlfriend and I loved John and Clea's home in Joshua Tree. There is this special energy about that space and general surroundings, and it makes for a perfect getaway. We loved the outdoor shower and how beautifully designed the home is. Communication with John & Clea was perfect and I couldn't recommend their place any more. Book it for sure!
Andres - Review Date: 10/2/2013

The absolute best way to experience Joshua Tree! John and Clea were extremely helpful building up to and during our stay, with flexible check in and check out especially. They left books and information for us when we got there which was really helpful to figure out the house and the area.
When we arrived we were astounded by the incredible view and impeccably kept house. Everything is very clean and well maintained and the design is amazing. The outdoor bath and shower are particularly wonderful!
It's so easy to experience the park from here, even if you just sit outside the property. Star gazing is great for the evenings too! Fully recommend this place if you want to get away and experience something breathtakingly beautiful and comfortable.
We are already planning when to go back!

Victoria - Review Date: 9/25/2013

Where to start? First off, this was our first time using airbnb.com. We had a weekend wedding to attend in Joshua Tree and wanted to try something new in the way of accommodations. I’m happy to say that we landed the perfect home away from home, in John & Clea’s “Modernist Jewel.” The cabin is perfectly situated with a beautiful view of the park, and has everything one needs for a relaxing stay. We were struck by the attention to detail and warmth when you first walk into the cabin. A bottle of wine and customized welcome letter was waiting for us on the kitchen counter. The Bose system sounded great and the overall state of the cabin was impeccable. We enjoyed the complimentary yoga classes on Saturday and loved the oversized tub out back. The floor to ceiling window in the dining area made for an incredible view while eating breakfast. We even saw a tortoise strolling by outside! For a couple wanting a cozy place to stay and relax, look no further. We highly recommend the “Modernist Jewel” and are happy to have dealt with such a gracious and warm couple in John & Clea.

The "Modernist Jewel" was even more amazing than what I expected! This special place oozes tranquility and defines the Joshua Tree experience to a "t". Also, John and Clea were excellent hosts - they were prompt in answering my questions about the area (ex. where's the closest grocery, restaurants, etc.), provided tourist books, and check in/out was easy breezy!

This place. The photos are really beautiful, but I was still really impressed when I saw it in person. It was the perfect space in this climate for a couple to spend a weekend. But I could have spent much longer.

The thing I don't think the photos capture is just how big the views are - or how you see them from every spot in the house. The boulders on the park side are right there across the yard - you really feel like you are in the park. But there are beautiful views from all sides: across the valley to the north, the "city lights" of Joshua Tree; the sunset behind the mountains.

I didn't miss a living room at all. In fact, even though it was summertime and in the upper 90's, I really didn't feel like I needed to be inside at all. The house is designed so well that it's not necessary. One side has a covered patio for day time, and on the other has an open courtyard for night.

The outdoor bathtub is what sold me on this spot and it didn't disappoint. I spent each night watching the amazingly clear stars you hear so much about from the bathtub. We watched for shooting stars and watched the resident bunnies until late at night. The outdoor shower had a spectacular view and was so private. Really the best outdoor shower I've ever used.

All of the amenities worked perfectly - the audio system, a/c, bathtub, ice maker (an ice maker in the desert is a really welcome luxury) - and John & Clea had left exhaustive notes that made staying here so easy. They really went above and beyond. I recommend this spot with no reservations. You really can't do better in Joshua Tree.

Thanks guys!

John and Clea were wonderful hosts. Check in and check out were a breeze. The house was impeccable. It was set in such a serene area. Truly relaxing. I'm looking forward to coming back.

Beautiful, private, excellent proximity to both Park Blvd & 29 Palms entrances to Joshua Tree National Park. A stone's throw from Joshua Tree Village. Cabin is well set up with all conveniences (towels, coffee maker, dishes, pans, stereo). John & Clea always responded to my queries quickly, provided detailed directions to the property, and left for us in the cabin excellent check-in / check-out guidelines and information about the surrounding area and local artists. Highly recommended.
Cat - Review Date: 6/17/2013

My boyfriend and I were in Joshua Tree and had a wonderful time at the cabin. We arrived late in the evening and felt instantly relaxed. It was nice to be in a house without a TV, the stereo system is great and easy to use - just plug in your ipod! The house is set back a little bit but close enough to town that it isn't a big hassle. I was skeptical about the outdoor shower at first, but it was really refreshing. I loved it.

I am a very particular person and highly recommend this place if you're staying in Joshua tree. It's perfect for a relaxing, weekend getaway.

This place is simply amazing. It is incredibly well-appointed and comfortable. Nothing beats sittnf on the patio and at gazing at the desert. John and Clea were great hosts- very easy to coordinate with and they left detailed instructions about the house and the area. And the bonus yoga class was excellent. We hope to return again someday soon!
Amy - Review Date: 6/2/2013

All the other reviews are spot on - it's beautiful, absolutely perfect for a couple. Amazing views, totally breath-taking. Only been gone a day, and already want to plan the next trip!

I will just add that we asked John and Clea if they could recommend someone to do a low-key wedding ceremony just for us on the property and not only did they help us find an amazing person, they left us with a bottle of champagne! Lovely people!
Stephanie - Review Date: 5/28/2013

Unbelievable cabin right at the edge of one of the most beautiful parks in the U.S. The cabin is not large but it is marvel of space efficiency with more than enough room for two people who are not romantically connected (romantically would be even easier). No TV or indoor sitting area (except for the dining room and a functional breakfast bar), but 2 extraordinary outdoor seating areas complete with portable fireplace from which to enjoy views of the heavens as well as illuminated rocks up close. Clea and John are amazing and thoughtful hosts and always reachable with any questions.

The cabin appeared brand new and was spotless with everything that you would want (sponges, kitchen towels) newly purchased. The cupboard pantry was stocked in a very stylish way with all of the necessities and it was a please taking showers semi-outside with newly purchased organic products.

I don't have enough words to describe how perfect thie modernist cabin was. You will not be disappointed!

Chris - Review Date: 3/4/2013

The Modernist Cabin was ideal for my purposes--a solo, five-day writing retreat in the desert--but it would be perfect for anyone looking for true beauty and even refinement in the Joshua Tree area. The photos don't do justice to the property's dramatic views, or to how John and Clea have enhanced them with window placement and outside lighting--it's like being in your own private national park. The amenities are nicely thought through, from a well-equipped kitchen to a cabin-wide Bose system with iPod/computer adapters to free class passes to a nearby yoga studio. Although it was very cold while I was in Joshua Tree, the cabin stays very warm; even the outside shower was totally fine once the hot water hit. As John and Clea make clear, the cabin is quite small--it was absolutely perfect for me, and I can imagine a couple enjoying the intimacy. Once the weather warms up, there are two very nice outdoor seating areas that open up the space options. As for me, I'll absolutely be back, either to get more writing done, or to explore more of the park in warmer weather. One of my top AirBnB experiences ever.

Now I understand why I everyone wants to stay at this desert getaway where fancy doorman and pesky tourists don’t inhabit. Not once during my trip did I have the opportunity to think about my busy life back home in Chicago. As soon as we drove half way up the driveway , before even seeing the house I was automatically at total peace and ready for compete relaxation . Everything said in other reviews reflect the modernist jewel very accurately and I was beyond pleased with all aspects of the home exceeding my expectations. The small Jewel and her small touches where the perfect contrast to the enormous expansive private desert surroundings. Imagine being dropped off on planet mars but having the luxury of hot water , electric and a great little town to provide you with anything and everything you will ever need . It was also comforting knowing that John and Clea live close by and know the area well. Their recommendations for places to take day hikes were great and the backyard is basically your own private desert where you are free to roam amongst the wildlife, boulders, assorted cactus and breathtaking views( all beautifully illuminated at night ) . Life is short. Time is what I value most. We thoroughly enjoyed every second of our stay. Don’t waste your time looking at other places and book the modernist jewel for a guaranteed perfect stay in the heart of Joshua Tree.

PS. Thank You for the Valentines Day Chocolates & Bubbles !!

John and Clea's cabin is absolutely magical, even better than we expected. My boyfriend and I decided to spend New Years here and it was just the escape we were looking for. Although you are a short drive from "downtown" Joshua Tree, when at the cabin you feel a million miles away. We arrived our first night just as the sun was setting and the view of the rock formations that make up the cabins backyard were breathtaking. The attention to detail in this place is superb and the two things that stood out most to us was the Bose audio system (so much fun to have good quality music playing while we cooked!) and the outdoor lighting that lit up one of the boulders and one of the trees, giving you a great view from the floor to ceiling windows even at night. Although it was freezing while we were there, we took advantage of the cowboy tub and had a star filled night soak. The hot water is abundant and the tub kept us warm enough that the cold air wasn't a problem. Same for the partially outdoor shower. Chilly for just a moment but the warm water and the incredible views made it an enjoyable experience. Plus the heater in the bathroom makes it nice and toasty for when you're done. All in all we hiked the area directly behind the cabin, ventured into Palm Springs for some vintage shopping, had a few drinks at the Joshua Tree Saloon (where everyone was nice and friendly), cooked in the well equipped kitchen and, due to my boyfriend unfortunately getting sick, spent our last day there nestled in the incredibly comfortable bed which ended up being just as enjoyable as anything else we did. No matter what you want for your vacation, adventure or just to rest and relax, John and Clea's cabin is the perfect spot to do it. We will definitely be back!

John and Clea's cabin in Joshua tree is absolutely lovely. Its basically brand new and no expense was spared. This is a very well thought out space, and a great retreat for the solo traveler or a couple. What you see in the pictures is even nicer in person. Every piece of furniture, every item in the space is quality and you feel like you are in a designer home. There are fabulous shades on the windows that give you total privacy if you desire - or keep everything open and let that sun shine in! The sound system for your ipod/phone is top of the line. (Warning: you will want to upgrade your sound system after staying here!) It was cold when I stayed there so I didn't get to make use of the outdoor areas as much as I would have liked, but I did get a chance to use the amazing soaking tub outside. The shower is partially outdoors but like they say, their tankless heater keeps you very warm. Also, like John and Clea advertise, the cabin is on the small side - it really is just for 1 or 2 adults who want an upscale type of retreat. It is also very close to town and close to JTNP so there is a lot to go check out and explore. I highly recommend this place - from the high end furnishings to the sweet little bunnies that scatter about the property its a very special find on AirBnB.

My boyfriend and I went to John and Clea's magical place over Thanksgiving, and we couldn't have asked for more. This place is perfect. Size, amenities, everything If you're looking to get out of the hustle and bustle, this is the place. NATURE! We went for 6 hour hikes, watched the sun come up with the bunnies and drank coffee on the outside patio, watched the sunset and cooked amazing meals with the brand new kitchen and soaked in the outdoor cowboy tub. The outdoor shower is unreal. Just massive rock structures all around you. This trip truly solidified our 4 years together. John & Clea were so accommodating, offering us discounts to yoga classes led by Clea, flexible to check-out times, etc. We truly cannot wait to go back. If you like to hike, love the powerful feeling of nature, and peace and quiet... this is the place for you. We are definitely going to be returning a few times a year. What a magic place. Thank you so much, John and Clea. Words just don't do justice for how special this place is. Can't wait to be back.

Wonderful spot from which to explore the park and experience the desert. Cabin is wonderfully sunny during the day and very cozy in the chillier evenings. Stillness abounds. Kitchen, bath, etc. are well-appointed and attention has been paid to every detail. Works by local artists adorn the walls and are available for purchase. Enjoyed exploring the property and relaxing in the cowboy tub while stargazing. If you're feeling adventurous, you can climb some of the impressive boulder piles on the outer edge of the park. For those who'd prefer to travel by car, the West Entrance of the park is a short drive away. John and Clea were extremely responsive and it was a breeze to book with them. Would definitely return and highly recommend to others.

What a lovely stay we had for our anniversary. I use this platform often and I have to say this is one of the most thoughtfully curated spaces I’ve ever stayed in. It also looked just like the photos. I appreciated the small details, the minimalist style and design details were just impeccable. It was so relaxing and calming to the senses and had everything you needed. I also appreciate Homesteads customer service. 10/10 service.

I stayed in this house. I believe November and it’s such a beautiful home up in the mountain rock area. It’s a one bedroom studio. It kind of reminds me of the standard the way they decorated it but having floor to ceiling windows in the kitchen area there’s all these bunnies running around and you’ve got roadrunners and you got the quail. I even had a little bobcat, walked by me and didn’t even disturb me when I was barbecuing. It’s really cozy. It’s set up really lovely and you get both a beautiful sunrise and a beautiful sunset. I’m very private.

It was magical. Surrounded by a crescent moon shape, giant rock formations. Night sky. Bunnies. Roadrunners. Coyotes. Kitchen was more equipped than 90% of Airbnb’s. They had foil. Blender. Basic spices. Britta water. This location has 24 hour communication via this app. Very professional. Quick to respond. First time ever being able to fit in a bathtub (6’4”). My girlfriend loved it. The openness of the windows and the decorative lighting in the distance from the neighbour’s, shooting stars… nuff said. Super quiet. No TV. Verizon mobile works great here.

As a last-minute break to Joshua Tree, we were very happy to discover this Home on Airbnb! The pictures are a little deceiving, the space is smaller internally, but it was definitely very manageable and rather than finding space for suitcases, etc. we just move things around. Also, the outdoor shower, on the particularly windy and cold day we were there, it wasn’t that appealing, but I imagine in warmer weather it would be really amazing The entire home was spotless, the amenities were perfect for romantic desert break! If you have an electric vehicle, be mindful that it is just a regular 110 outlet / there is a Rivian supercharger station properly 10 minutes away Would stay here again, purely for the location and peace and quiet.

Amazing, relaxing space with such a beautiful backyard filled with boulders you can walk up to and explore. Lots of jackrabbits in the area hopping around. It was so nice to see them running about in the mornings when we’d put the blinds up.. The space is so cozy and beautiful and perfect for what we needed. The flow of the house is so unique and relaxing. So open so you never feel claustrophobic or trapped. One of my favorite airbnbs for sure. Would book again! One thing I would flag is to be careful when turning on the fireplace if the igniter is not working. We almost burned our hair turning the fireplace on lol.. But apart from that, all the amenities were 10/10.

We had a lovely stay for 3 nights. The view of the boulders was stunning to have. We loved the fireplace at night and I was obsessed with the outdoor tub. Furniture and decor is stylish and just like the photos. The kitchen is very well equipped and works well for cooking. The place is much smaller than it looks in the photos, however. It's 366 square feet in total according to a spread about the place in a design book. The bed is only a few feet from the fridge and the plumbing makes a strange squealing sound anytime you use it. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are other properties very close to the house and there are not really any trails or hikes from the property. But Joshua Tree NP entrance is a very short drive away. Also, EV drivers should note that the charger is L1, and charges at 1.8kW. So it’s great for exploring the area, but if you are on a longer road trip, you should plan accordingly.

Beautiful small home with a spectacular view. The tranquility, peace and quietness the property has to offer is one of a kind . The property is surrounded by boulder rocks, so the view is stunning. The property comes with an outdoor freestanding bathtub. You get to enjoy the outdoor view while relaxing inside the bathtub. The bathroom has a shower with a glass enclosure so you get to see the view while taking a shower. The property is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the view that nature has to offer. The host is responsive and answered all my questions.

Super stunning place! Loved my stay here. It's really beautifully designed, the outdoor living area is amazing, I spent most of my time there in the evenings in front of the fire. They have "Bunny Chow" for you to sprinkle for the sweet bunnies and friends nearby which adds to the charm. This is the first time I've stayed in Joshua Tree where there is an actually hot water bath outside and that was a lovely bonus. Highly recommend.

Overall a really nice stay! The place was clean, cozy, cute, and in a great location. Very easy to get around and close to everything. The host was nice and check-in was smooth. Only small thing was the shower- the hot water didn’t stay consistent and ran out pretty fast. Other than that, everything was great and I’d totally come back.

This lovely mid-century cabin was truly an escape to nature. The home is nestled amongst beautiful rock piles and is about as private as it gets. The space is beautifully designed, with the highlight being the outdoor living area. Would recommend to everyone!

The cabin was very nice and the location beautiful and quiet, however the amenities that were listed (jacuzzi and pool) were not at the property. I feel the price was very high without having these amenities. The hosts were very responsive and tried to help remedy the situation by discounting the cost of my stay and allowing for a late checkout.

Review Date: 10/14/2025

It was good! There were some things I wish I'd known. First, it's not that private. The house is 50 feet away from three other properties in any direction and an active construction site. Cars passed to get to the construction site while I was in the outdoor tub and the glass shower is in view of some guy's window. Other stuff is the blinds are really dirty and there isn't access to a Joshua Tree TRAIL. You can just walk onto an unidentified, unmarked corner of Joshua Tree.

The cabin is such a unique space and the location is epic. It's a little less slick than the images suggest due to some general wear and tear, but overall it's stunning. Communication and check-in was smooth and easy to understand.

This Joshua Tree Airbnb was everything we hoped for—and a few things we didn’t know we needed. The location is spot-on. Far away enough from the hustle and buzzing but close enough to the nearby towns. The place was sparkling clean with amenities were top-notch: plush towels, fancy toiletries, and not a single mystery stain in sight. Our host? Basically the Airbnb version of a concierge wizard. We got detailed info before arrival, including a local gazette that was so good it should be framed. Thanks to it, we ended up at the Copper Room on Sunday, sipping cocktails and vibing to live jazz. Messaging was smooth with fast replies, zero stress, and no awkward “seen” left hanging. Would I stay again? Absolutely. Would I recommend it? Only to people who appreciate good vibes, clean spaces, and the occasional jazz-induced epiphany with the amazing natural beauty of Joshua tree at your backyard.

The location was great, secluded and private! Watching the stars from the outdoor tub was extraordinary and out of this world. The outdoor patio with couch and fireplace was amazing, and probably spent the most amount of time there. Grocery store only 15 minute drive away, very coinvent. Also probably saw the most beautiful sunsets of my life here. Would love to come back. Everything was amazing, however the blinds were covered in dead bugs and dust which I didn't like, especially by the kitchen where we were cooking. Small detail.

one of my favorite airbnbs, ever. the home is integrated with the desert — highly recommend for solo travelers or couples, whether as a base to explore the park from, or as a space to reflect and recharge. the sunsets are long and beautiful, the mornings are peaceful and vibrant with birds singing. and the days — hot as they may be — are made cooler with the outdoor bath and shaded lounge. at night, the stars are out in abundance (just like the home’s amenities… big fan of the binoculars and boulder lighting). looking forward to coming back. also, the host was super responsive, proactive, and caring.

Such a sweet little cabin! You can tell every detail has been thought about from the design to the extra fans to the hiking sticks the magic is in the details. 10/10 view of the valley from the outdoor patio/overhang (which had a beautiful breeze unlike the crazy wind in a lot of the valley floor). My favorite part was the view of the amazing boulders both from inside and outside of the cabin (especially at night). Also really great for stargazing! I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this property for someone looking for a little studio style cabin get away. On that note, it is truly a studio floor plan, if significant indoor square footage is important to you this may not be the stay for you. Can’t wait for my next opportunity to stay! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I did mine.

This cabin is in a great location. It is close to the west entrance of Joshua Tree NP. The cabin is secluded enough to enjoy the peaceful, beautiful surroundings. The hosts left good instructions on how to find the cabin, so read them carefully because it is a bit tricky. If Joshua Tree is your destination, then this is a perfect place to serve as a home base.

Perfect for a romantic getaway, and as a home base to explore Joshua Tree national park from. We had dinner at The Copper Room in Yucca Valley one night, did a guided tour of Joshua Tree National Park with a desert ecologist, and spent the rest of the time just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful space/surroundings!

One of my favorite stays in Joshua Tree yet! The modernist cabin is a designer and nature enthusiast dream. Tucked privately into beautiful boulders on the backside of the national park, you feel like you have a slice of the park all to yourself. The outdoor living spaces are so magical. I loved morning coffee by the fire watching the sunrise over the boulders and taking long baths at sunset under starry skies. The location is ideal - 10 minutes into town - and yet you feel so private and tucked away. I can’t wait to come back!

We came in late and woke up to an incredible wonderland. The integration of the Joshua Tree's otherworldly beauty and the interior beauty of the design and furniture quality woodwork was animated by birds (including Road Runners), lizards, coyotes, bugs of all sorts and bunnies all living their lives just outside the windows was a peak life experience.
All the creature comforts are there - and beyond- such as the shower and the two outside sitting areas.
Amazingly, we were there on a work trip, so didn't have the time to get into the tub - our loss. And speaking of work - the WiFi was up to snuff, there were plugs aplenty and workspace for two.
Very, very special.

What a beautiful property! We appreciated the high end touches, including the Jenn Air gas range, Parachute bed linens and nice towels.
The mid century furniture fit so well with the design of the cabin. the Bluetooth speaker was easy to use, and the shower is amazing.
Kitchen was well stocked and appreciated the ice maker in the freezer as well as the full Brita water filter in the fridge.
Check in and out were simple, no overbearing clean up duties. and the location can't be beat. We'd stay again in a heartbeat.

I had an amazing time here! The cabin looks exactly like the pictures and it was very clean. The surrounding landscape and nature is the best part. If you are looking for peace and solitude, this cabin is perfect for you. I’m going through a challenge in life right now so this cabin was a great escape to slow down and enjoy quietness and nature. The hosts were responsive when I reached out. Also the cabin is only a couple miles to downtown Joshua Tree or a 15 min drive to Yucca Valley so you are close to restaurants, bars and grocery stores. I’d 100% stay here again.

Exactly what I needed/wanted!! An architecturally significant tiny home on the edge (literally) of Joshua Tree. Loved my peaceful time there. Amazing vistas and some animal friends (bunnies and quail with babies) running around. Perfectly stocked kitchen. Lovely bathroom and super cool outdoor shower. Really just like the photos. Hope to return before too long.

10/10. If you’re looking for a perfect little quaint get away for 2 in Joshua Tree, this is the perfect location. It’s secluded up on the top of the hill right next to the national park, imo it’s even better because you have the privacy and you have multiple rock mountains to climb right behind the house. The house itself was kinda small but it was honestly perfect since we didn’t spend that much time inside anyways. Clean linens, sheets, dishes, coffee maker and more. Definitely going to stay at this spot next I’m in town with my gf.

Seeing the photos online come to life was amazing - if you are not an early riser - be intentional and watch the sun come up from your bed and see the colors change across the rocks! Outdoor Shower - yes please!
Walking out your door and into the "backyard" - was special.
Advise stocking up all your food and goodies and NOT leaving this place during your stay (unless of course going into the park).
We sat outside most of the time - and both patio areas were relaxing and peaceful during the morning, afternoon and evenings.
Comfortable bed - accessible kitchen and simple modern decorative treatments just added to the peacefullness.
We will be back for sure - for sure!

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.

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 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!

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!

This home exceeded all expectations. The perfect location to enjoy Joshua Tree park. But there was so much to enjoy at the house it was hard to leave. We saw the most beautiful sunrise from the rock formations behind the house. The fire place is so cozy. We could have spent all day in the outdoor tub. AND the most adorable rabbits play outside the window. Can’t wait to come back!

The desert is beautiful and right there outside every corner of this luxe little retreat. The outdoor tub in particular was unique and very relaxing.

We stayed here to celebrate 5 years of marriage. The cabin was exactly what we hoped it would be, a private and relaxing hide-away to spend some quality time away from work and the kids.
The host was very thorough in providing directions and instructions for amenities during our stay.
The outdoor cowboy tub was amazing and such a great way to do some star gazing.

Absolute perfection!! I had a thrilling couple of days on a silent retreat to meditate and hike and this place was THE BOMB!! Outstanding postmodern design. Spacious yet cozy. High end living with the outdoor bath which could be 7 feet long! The fireplace outside was easy to use and the landscape lights were sublime- but that landscape is pure divine. My GOD! What a view from every room and right outside the door!! The peace and quiet were out of this world and the feng shui is on the money with beautiful sacred olive trees and cedar pines- Stocked kitchen and modern nice bathroom and floor to ceiling windows- sublime sublime sublime!!

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.

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.

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.

We couldn't stop thinking about our first visit here, and so made another trip just over a year later. We enjoyed the cabin as much if not more this time around, and hope to return yet again in the future. It's such a uniquely beautiful space that really makes the most of the incredible location. Service from the host is outstanding and makes a relaxing retreat as easy as can be. Highly recommended!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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: 11/24/2022

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.

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.

This was a great place to stay! The house was clean and cozy, and the view on all sides was amazing.

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.

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.

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!! 🤤🪩✨

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.

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!

We’ve visited twice and it’s only gotten better

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.

Mathias Nyholm

Review Date: 5/5/2022

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.

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.

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: 12/21/2021

This place was pure magic. My husband and I stayed for our 5th wedding anniversary. Neither of us are morning people...not even close...but we willingly got up each day to see the sun rise over the beautiful boulders and Joshua Trees right outside. The outdoor tub fit both of us perfectly (we're both under 5'9 feet tall), the partially outdoor shower was dreamy even in winter, and the house itself was just so, so cool. Very clean, hip, and well-stocked with cooking supplies. Overall, the experience was exactly what we needed after an overly jam-packed November. We felt peaceful, rejuvenated, and inspired by both the property and setting. Couldn't have asked for more, and will treasure the memories.

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.

This was a very magical place to stay. I loved how remote it felt despite being close to the town. I saw “shooting stars” (aka a meteor shower), a coyote, rabbits, and numerous birds. It was easy to climb the rocks right in my backyard and lovely to take an indoor/outdoor shower or cool off in the outdoor dipping tub.
The communication of Homestead was great. I was able to check in late no problem.
Two notes: It’s a very small space. Very doable for one… and depending on the people, definitely doable for two. But the bed and kitchen are in the same room. And there is no microwave. You can reheat things on the stove easily if needed, though.
Bose sound system was a big plus!!

Incredible property. There is enough to see and do just at the property. Factor in everything else that is within a couple hours drive and this place is perfect.
Beautiful views. Loved it most at night. The stars, the silence, the wildlife. BOOK NOW. You will not regret.

This house is great! While it is expensive, I think it’s worth it solely for the amazing bathtub and shower. There’s a little area behind the house to explore. It may seem super secluded, and it relatively is but there are still houses that are closer than you would guess from the photos. I would love to come stay another weekend hands down.

Amazing stay in an amazing place! While this stay is a little pricy, I'd say it's really worth it from function to vibe. The outdoor/indoor shower is an amazing place to feel a part of nature any time of the day (especially at night with the lights shining on the rocks outside). Fully loaded with anything you'd need from the kitchen to the bathroom. Great location close to the Joshua West or North entrance to the park, but still isolated enough to feel private. Walk right off the porch to the outdoors and exploring with lots of wildlife right around the house. Plenty cool with a great AC system. Would highly recommend!

Perfect little home for the perfect little vacation! The views are insane and you can get into the park just by exploring the backyard. They have a stash of rabbit food at the back of the cabin - def toss a scoop out, the rabbits will come and hangout with you!

This stay was stellar! And im not even talking about the sky ;)
The location is on top of the hill so the views of the desert are amazing.
The place is cute, modern, well equipped and well organized and very comfortable. The kitchen is huge, which we loved. The outside shower is definitely one of the best features of the house ; a warm shower in the desert breeze was just amazing and unique.
Rabbits came to eat the food that we put out so that was a nice little visit.
We didnt really venture that much around as we wanted to relax, but did some exploring around the house and it was beautiful. You’re literally in the park!
Communication was great and fast, which made our stay so much better.
Highly recommend this place for a quick, cozy, and memorable getaway.
Thank you so much for the stay!

I can’t say enough about this space. It’s epic! The tub, the shower, and the access to the park are unmatched. I was looking for a place to be alone and I couldn’t have asked for more.
The space is clean and fully appointed. I highly recommend this space

I'm Speechless. This property is insane!!! You have a piece of the park all to yourself!!
Stunning Beauty all around 360 degrees of it......
We had the most amazing time exploring and watching all the views, and the stars at night from the hot bathtub. We cannot wait to return!!
The cabin, the grounds, the property, just WOW!! Thank you so much for having us!!!

insanity! my husband and i booked a last minute mini-moon and couldn’t be happier with this special place.
you are literally INSIDE the park! surrounded by nature and so relaxing. we used the tub every day to enjoy a morning coffee/evening glass of wine and beat the heat.
it was the perfect place for two people trying to enjoy joshua tree’s vibes and each other’s company.

We had a great time at Homestead Modern! It’s a quaint modern cabin right on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. You truly can’t get a better location than this - the house is right on the edge of the park, with awesome views of the rocky landscape! It feels very private, too. We really enjoyed the lounge chairs outside and the outdoor shower, and the kitchen was very well stocked! We had some minor issues with our lights, but the host was very responsive and offered to send someone out right away. This Airbnb was certainly on the more expensive side, especially given how small the house was, but the location and indoor / outdoor feel make it worth it! Great way to experience Joshua Tree!!

Review Date: 5/2/2021

What a wonderful escape this little cabin was! I felt so far removed from the everyday busyness of life—it was perfect! It’s the perfect size for an individual to just hang out and be alone (like I was) or for an intimate stay for a couple — plan on booking in the future for my husband and I to escape to.
The outdoor shower situation was breathtaking. Being able to shower while you’re looking out onto the desert is almost otherworldly.
The house is furnished with all you need to be comfortable, and its location being so close to the National Park is perfection—It feels like you’re actually staying in the Park.
Highly recommend for any solo or couple’s retreat.
Arthur

An extremely relaxing spot with some great views of the desert, and some awesome hikes from the cabin if you are feeling adventurous. The weather was awesome in mid March, cool breeze flowed right through the space. Felt as much like a mini spa retreat as a cabin in the desert.

We had a fun relaxing stay. It’s perfect for a nature getaway. The rabbits living around are quite curious and a complete joy to watch while staring out north or south. 360 views, from inside and outside. The place was also close to Joshua Tree and groceries and restaurants. Highly recommend staying here! Can’t wait to come back!

Review Date: 3/12/2021

This place is fabulous. Very clean. The outdoor shower was awesome and even when the temperature outside was a brisk 40 degrees, the shower was nice and warm. The bed was comfortable and the house came with an extra blanket if needed. We felt the temperature of the house was perfect and did not need to turn on the heat even when the outside was in the 40s(and I turn the heat on all the time at home as I run cold). The kitchen had the basic pots pans and utensils needed. Bring any spices as there were none included. The Bose sound system was great! Easy to connect to. We had great WiFi connection too. The house is very quiet and a great place to get away. Communication with management company was easy and response time was very quick - my experience was that I usually received responses within 30 minutes or less. Highly recommend this place.

Review Date: 2/20/2021

This AirBnB is a gem. It's nestled RIGHT next to Joshua Tree National Park with 360 degree views of nature. I honestly don't think you'll find a better located home. The house is small, but was totally fine for 2 women. However, I could see the bed being a little tight for anyone of a larger build. This AirBnB was also one of the cleanest homes I've stayed in & I find that I'm pretty anal when it comes to cleanliness. Everything in the house was great quality too - sheets had high threadcount, really quality soap, cookingware and coffee were all top notch. These thing aren't necessary, but they're nice touches and really made this place stand out from others.
There are a ton of adorable animals nearby, great if you want to catch some wildlife and still be indoors.
I will say - this might not be the place for you if you're trying to work remotely. The wifi was sufficient for general googling, but I had to take one work call & it was a bit of a struggle. To be honest though, it was a blessing to not have strong wifi as it forces you to enjoy the location.
Definitely recommend booking, don't think I'll look to stay anywhere else the next time I visit again.

This is a superb location to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of the Joshua Tree area. The house's design allows for spectacular views in every direction. While small, the house allows for a comfortable stay with a fully stocked kitchen, and enough storage to handle one's needs. One can literally walk out the door of this house and be in spectacular wilderness, and within about a 30 minute walk, be inside Joshua Tree National Park but away from the crowds seen in the more popular areas of the Park. If you are looking for a spot that allows you to appreciate fresh air, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets and a sky full of stars, this location will meet your needs.

This house is the PERFECT ROMANTIC GETAWAY! The house is immersed in Joshua Tree nature. My husband and I took a mini honeymoon vacation away from the city and this house was magical. We felt relaxed, comfortable, and like we never wanted to leave. The outdoor/indoor shower was insanely gorgeous, and the outdoor space is incomparable especially to view the stars at night. We can’t wait to come back! This is a huge win!

Do not hesitate and book this place! This beautiful, quiet homestead with its perfect location left us speechless. We have stayed at our fair share of airbnbs, but no other has left us in complete awe as this one did. The location is insanely beautiful. We felt like we had a piece of Joshua Tree all to ourselves, and rightfully so. The cabin itself is beautiful, inside and out. Very clean, which made us happy. The patio was such a treat for star-gazing. The lights on the boulders and trees was such a perfect touch to this place. The outdoor/indoor shower was the best part. Nothing like getting up early, taking a hot shower with spectacular desert views. We are definitely bookmarking this homestead for future stays. Thank you for providing such a magical place to stay in one of our favorite places in the world.

This place is a gem! The location is so incredibly serene and relaxing, and very easy to pop over to downtown Joshua Tree or Yucca Valley. My husband and I stayed for 3 nights and we really enjoyed the trip. It’s a tight space, but it’s actually very comfortable. And the outdoor shower is even more magical than it looks! There were definitely some bugs and ants around, so I recommend putting food in the refrigerator/in airtight containers to keep the critters out.

Staying at The Modernist’s Cabin was such a wonderful experience. The outdoor bathtub and the indoor/outdoor shower made for an incredibly relaxing trip.

Fantastic spot on the northern border of Joshua Tree. It has great views of the sunset and stars and its own rock and tree you can light up at night. About a 15-20 min drive to the West Entrance, a great place to use as home base to explore Joshua Tree National Park. The unit is clean and modern and made for a great vacation escape. Wife and I loved staying here! Highly recommend!

This house and location is gorgeous and perfect! Located on the boarder of Joshua Tree National Park. From the house to 2 of the entrances is less than 5 minutes. The shower alone made me want to come back to this home! It was fantastic and thank goodness for the AC! I would highly suggest this home to a couple looking to get away for the weekend! Gorgeous views and the best sunset I have ever seen. The floor to ceiling windows make this space feel open and like the desert comes into the home.

Review Date: 7/19/2020

This is possibly one of the best rentals I've ever had. Beautifully designed, gem of a house situated in the most ideal setting imaginable. I don't think you could get any better views if you were inside the park. Every amenity was thought of, every convenience has been taken care of in the house. It's a tiny footprint of a house, but the open windows to views that are unparalleled make it feel very open. Imagine a private 5 star hotel room in Joshua Tree Park. Best indoor/outdoor shower ever. Spectacular spot. Incredible hosts.

Dreamy little place with fabulous architecture in the most incredible setting. The backyard is Joshua tree park, in an area called the wonderland of rocks - it’s spectacular. You can walk for miles on trails right out the back door, though if you go far you'll want good route finding skills - it’s an enormous maze of trails. The house is just the right size for a couple- like a beautiful shell that holds you. It was lovely.

Review Date: 3/9/2020

My wife and I were the very first guests at the Modernist Cabin a number of years ago. We had wanted to return many times but work schedules prevented us from doing so. Finally, we spent three glorious days and night last week at the cabin. To our surprise, nothing had changed. It was in the same great condition as our initial stay and met all our expectations of cleanliness, comfort, and compatibility. And that's just indoors! The outside natural environment is still extraordinary and an accurate representation of the high desert experience. The outdoor cowboy tub and the semi-outdoor shower doesn't hurt either!
Day and night, our stay was filled with great joy and satisfaction. We wish we could live there!

Review Date: 2/22/2020

STUNNING! I think the biggest compliment you can give any airbnb is "not wanting to leave". We had planned on exploring JT restaurants, shops, and hikes but enjoyed the setting and home so much we canceled our plans, went grocery shopping and stayed at the home the entire weekend. The setting is absolutely gorgeous and peaceful. We hiked directly from our back yard, enjoyed many visits from bunnies, and soaked in the cowboy tub. Very romantic, restoritive, and serene. We will return!

Review Date: 2/18/2020

Don’t think twice on this one. What a fabulous few days to relax and enjoy the desert. I did a solo trip for my birthday and could not have been happier. The quiet, night sky, nature all around - just what I wanted. I felt isolated enough without being totally cut off. There are several homes within sight but no activity and no way to interfere with fabulous outdoor showers and evening tub time.
The cabin was incredibly clean, well appointed, and just right. I did not want for a thing. I grab simple groceries on my way in through 29 Palms and didn’t need to shop again. Just spent my time hiking, laying in the sun, taking outdoor baths (I’m afraid I used more than my share of the water in the desert), and reading under the stars.
Christy

Review Date: 2/14/2020

A perfect, peaceful cabin with direct access to the park. It is really set up for one or maybe two people if you can share the relatively small bed, but if you want to be in JT alone and really feel the place, this beautiful little modern cabin is absolutely perfect.

From a cottontail welcome committee in the morning to an owl calling as you soak under the stars in the cowboy tub, resident wildlife will visit if you sit still. And being still comes easily at this serene escape. An incredible location right on the edge of the park means unobstructed sunsets, privacy, and ever-changing light on the geology theatre. This “little house on the rocks” is well-equipped for home cooking, supplied with local guidebooks, and solid wifi. Hard to leave!

This is one of my favorite Airbnb experiences of all time. This house is literally right on the edge of Joshua Tree, located at the very edge of the neighborhood.

Wow. I’ve stayed at Joshua tree before but never anywhere as brilliant as John + Clea’s. Honestly perfect in every way.

This is a special home and location. Every detail of this cozy cabin is pure design perfection... the windows highlighting the surroundings, the outdoor shower, seeing the moon rise from the bed, the shaded lounge area... it was perfection for a romantic and relaxing week.
We loved seeing the wildlife from the patio - the jack rabbits, road runners, desert cottontail bunnies, lizards, quail families, doves, crickets and beautiful desert ants hard at work. Our favorite moment was drinking a bottle of champagne while watching the day turn into night on the patio while bunnies snacked in the sand, with Joshua tree national park as the backdrop. BREATHtaking.
It was magical and we will be back.

John & Cleas place were absolutely insane. The house is light flooded with big windows on all sides. The view is so cool, we can see thousands of stars even from the bed! I thinks its a photographers paradise. Its located near the small town of joshua tree, but in a really quiet location directly boarded to joshua tree national park. There are hills and some joshua trees behind the house and you can walk from there directly in the np. The outdoor bathtub is awesome to cool down after a hot and sunny day! The house is fully equipped with everything you need. Just perfect.

Review Date: 2/28/2019

I've camped Joshua Tree a handful of times, but this was the first time I airbnb'd it. While camping has it perks, staying at John and Clea's home certainly raised the bar. The home is just as beautiful as pictured. the scenery is astounding, and the convenience is unparalleled! kitchen is well stocked with spices, oil, coffee, tea, cocoa, and all the pots/pans/utensils two people will ever need. the highlight of the house is definitely the outdoor shower and cowboy tub. I'd advise not to shower at night when the winds pick up and the sun is down because it gets very cold with the windchill, but shower at sunset or sunrise with the view of the park is well worth the slightly higher booking cost. Also recommend picking up some epsom salts or bath bombs for the cowboy tub. there was more than enough room for two people. overall it was an amazing house and experience, will definitely be back next year!

The home itself is great. It had all the basics and more in the kitchen, that allowed us to prepare and cook meals when we didn’t feel like going out.
We started each morning on the front patio chairs having coffee and breakfast while looking out at the stunning yard. Then ended the day with a soak in the back patio tub watching the sunset. It was the perfect way to sandwich a fun and busy day in the park. Not to mention, the location was perfect! It was approximately 15-25 minutes from either park entrance, as well as a variety of cute restaurants and shops. If you’re debating whether or not to book it, pull the trigger. We had an amazing time and really lucked out finding this space.
John & Clea were very responsive and made the whole experience a breeze. We cannot wait to come back. Thank you for having us!

I stayed at John & Clea's place with my boyfriend. It is MAGICAL. Its nestled right up against the park so you wake up to 360 incredible views & bunnies hopping around the property. We will definitely be coming back.

Nice small quiet cabin like home right on the edge of the NP. Thought the shower would be very cold since we were there in December with highs in the 50s and lows near 30s however it was fine day and night. (If you like hot showers). Lots of amenities, including basic cooking ingredients. Overall was a good stay, wouldnt pay the same price to do it again though. Slightly expensive for a longer stay

This is one of the best Airbnb's I've had the pleasure of staying at. Incredible views from every angle of the cabin and to be able to experience the peace & beauty of Joshua Tree right from the backyard. The outdoor shower and tub were also really nice touches and made the overall experience one to remember. Thanks again and we'll be back soon!

Clean, modern small house with Joshua Tree National Park as the backyard. While the full-size bed may be a bit small for many couples, we really enjoyed this place. It has a very functional kitchen with an excellent range/oven and nice peninsula to use as an informal eating area, cooking prep space, or laptop work area. The outdoor shower was delightful: even though the nights were chilly in December, the warm water was plentiful. The house is at the end of a dirt road that is very sandy and rutted in spots, so a vehicle with a bit of ground clearance is advisable, but 4wd is not necessary. The setting is spectacular, with nighttime views of the lights of Joshua Tree to the north and beautiful granite rock formations and desert flora to the south. The house has great windows that let in lots of light, and it is thus a very cheerful place to hang out, and the proximity to the park entrance and the delightful Crossroads Cafe were things we valued highly.

This was the perfect place to spend our anniversary. The space is lovely with big windows looking out to the park, visiting desert bunnies every morning, a kitchen equipped with everything you could need. We loved the outdoor shower and the soaking tub, and the lovely outdoor spaces to enjoy the desert landscape by sunrise or starry night.

This was the perfect experience. So quiet. So serene. So magical. I was sad to leave! I hope to be back many, many times. Everything in the space is so well though out and tidy. Well designed. Perfect for a desert getaway. Absolutely beautiful view in the morning!

This place is a true gem! Especially for a couple looking to get away. Favorite parts included: the cowboy tub (perfect for a relaxing soak), gorgeous outdoor / glass enclosed shower, a fully equipped kitchen (including a gas stovetop oven, and all the utensils you’d need for cooking), tall beautiful windows, and cushioned lounge chairs. Also loved how the house is private - you can see some neighbors in the distance, but they’re not close - and yet the house is still close to the local attractions like JT Park. Can’t wait to come back!

The modernist cabin was beyond our expectations. It is a very well designed space with lots of windows and beautiful views. We enjoyed feeding the bunnies and the outdoor spaces. The outdoor shower and light design (boulders and trees) was just outstanding. We would love to come back.

What an amazing stay in John and Clea's cabin. I dont think you can have a better view on the Joshua Tree 's landscape than from their place. It's so stylish with full windows to give a post card view from morning to evening. Great amenities in the cabin that allows us to cook there. We also loved the outside bathtub. A dream stay!

This was the cutest and most stylish little Joshua tree getaway. My future hubby and I (we got engaged that weekend in the park) were over the moon with the location, the size of the place, outdoor lounge areas, the outdoor tub, and the bunnies! The decor was just perfect and we ended up buying some local artwork they displayed in the cabin. We will be back for sure. Thank you!!

Stylish cabin, right at the border of Joshua Tree National Park. Perfect for couples who want to spend the day in the park and have a comfy place to return to in the evening. We enjoyed our stay quite a bit, the cabin is exactly as advertised, the setting is stunning. An extra little bonus were the cute cottontail bunnies running around the property. Clea and John and great hosts, good communication and very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Wow. I don’t even know where to begin... This place is incredible. The views are breath taking. We fed the little bunnies in the morning and sat and watched the sunrise. We saw so much amazing wildlife and it was so peaceful. If you’re thinking about booking this place, BOOK IT NOW! Honestly can’t explain how outstanding our whole trip was. 3 nights was not enough. We can’t wait to come back in the future! Thanks again John and Clea.

John & Clea have the perfect desert home. We stayed for a few days during our honeymoon and had the most amazing time. Not only was the cabin very well stocked and immaculately clean, but they have truly created a space where you can truly enjoy nature to its fullest. From the semi-outdoor shower to the outdoor tub, to the full length windows throughout, their home invites you to experience nature. We truly enjoyed every second of our stay and were sad to leave.
Also, my wife left her glasses behind and John was gracious enough to offer to send them to us. We were both so blown away by the kindness and generosity of our hosts.
If you’re on the fence about booking, stop thinking and just do it. You will not regret it. Trust me.

Doesn’t get any better! If you are in Joshua Tree and want a sleek and modern house with amazing views, this is the spot. Gorgeous house with the cutest wild rabbits you will ever see.

This little desert cabin was a beautiful escape from the city. Everything was exactly as described and more. The check in process was quite easy, and despite being down a bit of an extended dirt driveway (that can be navigated by any commercial vehicle) it was easy to find. The views, along with the fluffle of adorable bunnies that live on the property, absolutely made this trip. The location immediately adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park is an incredible benefit that facilitates easy access to beautiful hiking both a short drive away and immediately out the front door. The kitchen is well stocked and the bed is somewhat small for a couple, but comfortable. My absolute favorite feature was the indoor/outdoor shower with incredible Mojave desert views. Thanks to John and Clea for a fantastic stay!

Wow. This was definitely a 5 star Airbnb experience in the most beautiful setting I’ve ever been in. John and Clea have thought of everything - and I mean everything! We loved the outdoor bath, and the complimentary yoga class (really good) but the best bit was have a private oasis in one of the most stunning places on earth. We hope to come back on day!

The Modernist Jewel is a perfect couples retreat. You'll love the cowboy tub with hot and cold water and feeding the sweet bunnies as you gaze over the giant boulders into Joshua Tree. Just outstanding! Everything was seamless from start to finish and we can't wait to be back to relax and rejuvenate!

We love staying at John and Cleo’s cabin. It’s stylish, intimate and minimal design fits in well with the surroundings. You really feel like you’re off the grid even though the town is a short drive below you. We enjoyed just sitting in the chaise lounges admiring the view, watching the desert bunnies and other wildlife set against the sun bleached boulders of Joshua Tree. The apartment is fully stocked with everything you’ll need. The outdoor shower is great, and we used the outdoor galvanized metal bathtub as a cold plunge pool. It’s definitely one of our favorite AirBnB experiences, out of many. In town we recommend the Saturday Farmers Market, Crossroads Cafe and The Station gift shop. Pappy and Harriet’s is worth the 30 min drive for a meal. Oh, and don’t miss Joshua Tree National Park!

John & Clea have thought of everything to make sure your time spent in their home is memorable and relaxing.
This is our second time staying in Joshua Tree and I can’t imagine staying somewhere else should we come back a third time.
A few things to note: if you are traveling in a car equipped with Apple CarPlay and through the Airbnb app select Apple maps as your choice of directions 9 times out of 10 it will navigate you to the wrong address. Bypass this by manually putting in John & Clea’s address, or use google maps.
The coyotes serenaded us nightly with their lovely yip-howls, we loved it!! but if you’re sensitive sleeper maybe bring ear plugs.

Can't say enough great things about this getaway. It was all very thoughtfully appointed with many basics for coffee and cooking provided, which made cooking for a couple days very practical and fun. We had a lovely visit to Joshua Tree and the windows to the back of the property bordering the park make it feel like you never left the park. Only regret is we didn't stay longer.

This cabin is absolute perfection. The cabin itself is gorgeous, well laid out, an amazing kitchen, and has all items you will need. The setting is breathtaking. There was abundant flora and fauna right outside and you have your own private Joshua tree park experience or your door. The windows are so well appointed and we spent time just staring out into the desert. The cabin feels much larger than its compact size. The covered deck is wonderful and provides a cool breeze on super comfy chairs. The location is private but yet close to town if you want something. It was our fave Airbnb experience! The hosts thought of everything and have great communication.
Capri

Review Date: 5/23/2018

This is a tiny paradise. The thing I like the least about Joshua Tree is having to leave the park, but by staying at Clea and John’s place I really never had to. This is a quiet, private slice of it. The amount of windows make it feel like outdoor living, with views of the stars from bed. Perfect in the warm Spring, the outdoor shower with its sunset views was a highlight. Every amenity one might need is stocked, including really nice towels (even on the outdoor lounge chairs). It is impeccably clean and John and Clea are very quick with communication. I hope to stay there again!

We had a fantastic time at John and Clea’s house. The location is outstanding, like you are in the National Park. We saw so much wildlife, all while sitting in the garden drinking a wine. The outdoor bath and shower are incredible and such a unique experience. Very close to town and the National Park, but secluded enough to find peace and quiet. Truly memorable.

Spectacular setting, modern minimalist interior and great privacy for a Joshua Tree getaway.
We stayed at the cabin for 3 nights as our final stop in a National Park tour of Southern California. The property borders the northern margin of the Park and every evening I would spend some time photographing the desert scenery. We were visited every morning and evening by the local cottontail rabbits as well as quail and jack rabbits.
The National Park entrance is nearby and if you’ve never been to Joshua Tree NP you are missing a gem.
We can highly recommend this property for a couple looking for a private desert retreat.

I’m hesitant to keep this amazing place close to my vest, as it is one of the most fabulous places on AirBnB! John and Clea have thought of everything to make your stay feel like you’re at a 5-star hotel, even though you’re out in the wilds! Loved our stay and and can’t wait to return to this utter gem!
Megan

Review Date: 4/26/2018

This is a very special place. We ended up delayed in our arrival so we got in well after dark, so waking up to the amazing views was a wonderful start to our first morning there. We had tons of bunnies, birds, and even a coyote visit us at the house. From the home you can just walk out the door and be in the midst of beautiful plants, animals, and scenery. It is a perfect and more private way to experience the Joshua Tree park.
The hosts are great communicators and provide tons of little extras that make the stay special, including featuring local art that you can buy right in the home!
The house itself is gorgeous and the views are everywhere, so it makes this smaller space feel expansive. The outside spaces are truly great. The kitchen is well appointed and the sound system is a nice addition.
The only things to be aware of are that the bed is a tad small (I think it is double?) if you are used to a queen or larger. The shower is an indoor/outdoor combo which provides amazing views but also means it can be a tad chilly. Also, I would suggest taking an SUV as the road in is not meant for tiny little rental cars. :)
Overall, you should definitely stay here. It is a comfortable, clean, and beautiful home in a spectacular setting with wonderful hosts.

John & Clea's home in Joshua Tree is lovely! The house is nestled in the mountains, offering a serene panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The space was clean and cozy. They provided all of the essentials that made our stay feel like we were at home! The complimentary yoga session was an added bonus. Not to mention the fact that the house is located less than a 10 min drive from the park entrance! I would definitely stay at John & Clea's home again in the future. :)

Review Date: 3/15/2018

I can't recommend the cabin highly enough. The location is perfect, and includes your own boulders. It's close to Joshua Tree, but remote enough to feel like you're away from it all. I don't think a couple could find a better place to stay in Joshua Tree. Plus, there are friendly rabbits that come for dinner every day!
John and Clea are great hosts and really help you feel at home. If you and your partner want a place to stay in JT, look no further.

What an amazing spot! We had a wonderful long weekend in Joshua Tree at John and Clea's modernist cabin. The location is truly spectacular—Joshua Tree National Park is really is your back yard (complete with joshua trees and monzogranite boulders!), yet town and the park entrances are just a couple minutes away. Make sure you don't rent a super low-clearance car, though, because the road up to the cabin is not paved. Inside, the cabin is modern, clean and cozy (exactly as pictured) and intelligently laid out with lots of storage, and amazing views in every direction—we loved the outdoor soaking tub (which can be filled hot or cold) and sort-of-outdoor shower, especially at night with the neighboring boulders and joshua trees lit up. The Bose sound system was easy to use (bluetooth), and we really appreciated the selection of hiking books provided as well. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and John was communicative and a great host—we arrived to a personalized note, yoga passes (which we weren't able to use, sadly) and a bottle of wine. We can't wait to come back to the desert!

We had the best weekend getaway to John and Clea’s amazing place. Pictures don’t do the place justice!

This was our second time at the Modernist Jewel, and it was as good as we remembered! The home is clean, quiet, and relaxing. The dirt road up to the house is more filled in now and easier to get to in a low car. The house has all of the right details for a wonderful stay. Thank you John and Clea for being such fantastic hosts!
Colleen

Review Date: 11/13/2017

It’s pricey, but it’s something unique. It’s an amazing place to stay in an amazing part of the world. The level of luxury feels sort of absurd in the desert. This desert’s already pretty surreal, the yucca and cacti looking how they look and doing what they do and all, so you have to ask yourself how much you can handle. Is bathing outdoors under the stars, staring at a boulder, while a high-end stereo system competes against yips and howls of coyotes your definition of a good time? Or is it the best time? (Try yipping and howling back at the coyotes.)
All I wanted for was a couch. While there are cushioned deck chairs on the porch, there’s no comfortable place to sit inside. It’s between sitting on the bed, which wasn’t built for this, or at the dinner table in there. In late October when my wife and I were there, it was too brisk to enjoy being outside for long in the evenings. However, we made do.

What an unbelievable place. The cabin is just as beautifully designed and furnished as in the pictures, and every detail of our stay was thoughtfully provided for - from good towels to the outdoor shower to the loungers set up in just the right spot - but the location is even more breathtaking than we imagined. Sitting right at the edge of the park, the house is mostly windows, and they all frame a glorious view of the rocks and desert plants of Joshua Tree. It was the perfect size for the two of us, and it added immeasurably to our experience of visiting the park. We'll be back for sure.

This place was great. Only a few miles outside of the town of Joshua. We were there on an odd weekend but it worked out perfect. We woke up from our first night to an incredible thunder and lightning storm and pounding rain. We just sat and watched as the desert lit up with every lightning strike. Unfortunately the storm knocked power out all morning but John and Clea checked in with us to make sure we were ok and offered to bring up lanterns, candles, an ice chest and ice if the power did not come back on by the evening.
We loved the outdoor shower and soaking tub, and were able to hook up our record player to the bose sound system. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking, except for the non functional stove top grill insert, but there is a charcoal grill outside to use.
We enjoyed laying in the lounge chairs on the patio watching the bunnies and quail running by and just staring out at the boulders. The place is pretty private, but there are some neighbors near by so its not complete privacy.
We would definitely book again. Thanks John & Clea for a great weekend.

This modern cabin truly was a gem! John and Clea obviously put tons of time and attention into every detail of this unique house. Although it is small, it has everything you need and never felt cramped.

My husband and I had a wonderful weekend here and will absolutely recommend to our friends and family.

It’s been a week since my husband and I stayed at the cabin and we are missing every minute of it. It was the perfect getaway to celebrate our anniversary. The cabin is fully equipped, clean and it was more than enough room for us. The shower is exactly how it’s described. It’s outside! But you won’t care once you see the view around you. The cowboy tub is another added bonus. The location is perfect! Far enough from the road noise, private and the backyard was unbelievable. You really don’t have to venture into the National Park when there’s plenty of boulders in the back to climb on. We decided on Joshua Tree mainly to see the stars and we weren’t disappointed. We have never seen so many stars before and it was truly breathtaking. We just sat outside in silence, admiring the night sky. We are definitely coming back. My only wish is one day they have a place just like this but for my family to enjoy. My daughter and son would love it.
John & Clea - we can’t thank you enough for being such great hosts and having such a perfect spot to share with others.

This place is such a rare and amazing experience-- right on the edge of the park, we saw road runners, quail, and a family of bunnies everyday. It was over 100 degrees everyday that we were there, but the home was always cool and refreshing. At night, the stars and outdoor tub can't be beat!

John and Clea's place was incredible. The beautifully designed cabin had everything we needed, was super comfortable and the setting was spectacular. We never left the entire weekend. Went hiking straight from the cabin into the park and didn't see a single soul while scrambling over the rocks and boulders. Spent lots of down time lounging outside on the covered patio, reading and staring off into the landscape while watching the rabbits, quails, lizards and desert squirrels (or chipmunks?). Love the outdoor soaking tub and shower. The sunset and moon rising over the mountains were gorgeous, especially with the full moon. Wish we stayed another day - it ended too soon!

This house really is a jewel--small, but it has everything you need, and is so beautifully designed and maintained. I would recommend having a somewhat bigger car than just a sedan, as the dirt road had some big pits, but we managed just fine in a small SUV. The views are stunning, the water pressure and outdoor shower are incredible--overall, a wonderful experience we can't wait to return to!

I’m lost at words on how to even begin to describe how amazing our experience was staying at John & Clea’s cabin. We really didn’t have to do much exploring inside Joshua Tree National Park because of the amazing view that we got from the place. All we did was waking up at 6 AM to catch the sunrise right outside of the cabin and went back to sleep. What a perfect place to chill and relax for the weekend!!!!! And the floor to ceiling windows! Soaking tub under the stars!! Boulders!!!! ahhh I can’t wait to go back!!!

Gorgeous and comfortable accommodation in the desert - the perfect oasis getaway! The cowboy tub was amazing. The inside/outside shower was a nice touch! The cabin has everything you need. Last but not least, THE BOULDER LIGHT! :)

I don't think this place could get a single bad review. It is, like all the other reviews state, amazing. It is the perfect Joshua Tree experience. I've camped before, and would definitely recommend doing both. But if you are going the Airbnb rout, this is the best place to stay.
I went with my best friend for my 25th birthday. Easy 15-20 minute drive to everything you might want to get to in JT. We went to Pappy and Harriet's, Crossroads Cafe, JT Coffee and yes, we did the free yoga class offered with the stay. Easy to go to and from the Airbnb. I highly recommend all. The yoga class was the best I've been to, probably ever. Definitely find time for the yoga class! It's free and they offer yoga matts at the class for you to use, and those are free too!
The outdoor shower is amazing and connects right through the bathroom. We also took a warm soak at night to stargaze at night. Best soaking pool. We woke up for every sunrise and enjoyed the sunsets over Joshua Tree. Did I mention Joshua Tree is literally your back yard? What better than to walk around the park while the sun is rising?
They have everything you could possibly need for your stay. You are stocked up on coffee w/ a French press, hot chocolate packets (which were perfect with our outdoor soak) and tea bags w/ a hot water boiler, water bottles and more. They have a cute fire pit you can move around to the back or front of the house. You can buy firewood easily in town.
What really sold me was the Bose sound system. I'm a big advocate of Bose as a company. They do great things, they even do work for NASA! But I won't get into all that. All you need to know is that they make amazing sound systems. It was perfect. You can hear it indoor and out. Easily hooked up through Bluetooth or auxiliary.
It's beautiful here. I admire what these two are doing. It's worth every penny and then some. I feel lucky to have been able to stay here. And if you haven't been to Joshua Tree, prepare to have your heart won over. I'm deeply considering moving here one day. One of the most beautiful places I ever been. And I'm not saying that lightly.
Thanks for everything John and Clea.

This is our second trip to John and Clea's little gem. We Love being able to roll out of bed and step out into the park. It's the kind of environment and beauty you wake up early for. You can't beat yoga on the deck to the rising sun. Cowboy tub gets the victory after a long day of hiking. We used it every night. House is fully stocked and we prepared meals at the house.
Discovered this trip, that there is access to even more areas of the park just out the back door (west view loop, rocky view, burro). We can't wait to go back and explore more territories.
This place gives us an escape. It's a beautiful, peaceful retreat and an opportunity to just spend time with with your own thoughts, your partner, and the outdoors.
We love every minute we are here and can't wait to go back.

We were really blown away by John & Clea's place. Their home is beautifully designed - we loved "sleeping under the stars" thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and I know that we'll be dreaming of the view from the indoor-outdoor shower for years to come. They are also great hosts - the house was fully stocked, they provided a ton of information on the house and surrounding area, and were very responsive and easy to communicate with.
We would return to Joshua Tree just to stay here again.

If you want to be up close to Joshua Tree there is nothing better. Two wonderful patios and a small, perfect, architecturally interesting 'cabin' that has everything you need. But watch out, rabbits will come and sunbathe right next to you :-)

John & Clea's cabin is stunning. It's situated right on the border of the park, providing some seriously breathtaking views of Joshua Tree. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and perfectly equipped - from the lux soaking tub and indoor/ outdoor shower, to the covered patio with chaise lounge chairs, to the cabin's fully equipped kitchen... You'll never want to leave. We can't wait to go back!

John and Clea's modernist cabin was the perfect getaway. The space is clean, bright and modern. The location is secluded and yet so close to Joshua Tree. My wife and I did a few quick hikes into the park directly from the cabin. The kitchen was well stocked and they even left us a bottle of wine to enjoy. We can't wait to come back!

The best airbnb rental that we've ever stayed in by far. The photos do not do this place justice. It is a stunning home in the middle of the natural surroundings of Joshua Tree. The home was equipped with everything we needed - from kitchen supplies to books on hiking trails. Located a very short drive to the Park entrance. Had breakfast staring at the giant rock formations and star-gazed from the patio at night. This place is a balm for the soul.

John and Clea's place was absolutely magical! It is a very close drive to restaurants and shopping in the town of Joshua Tree. It is a short drive to the park entrance, which you can also access by simply walking into the backyard. The house is modern and comfortable with a well-equiped kitchen. The outdoor tub is a wonderful place to view stars, which you can also see when lying in bed. I highly recommend this place as a romantic getaway or any kind of getaway. It is just gorgeous and we fell in love with it!

Stayed here with my boyfriend for our first trip to Joshua tree together and could not be happier with the space! The pictures don't do it justice, honestly. It was in a great location to get to the park and also to all the main attractions both in Joshua tree & Pioneertown. I have nothing but amazing memories looking back on our stay & we can't wait to go back and stay here again!

What a place! We LOVED it here. The cabin is so well designed. We loved the indoor outdoor shower despite it being mid January. The bed was so comfortable and the atmosphere was romantic and cozy. We really enjoyed the rock formations in the yard and climbed around everyday, infact we only went into the park once because you have a park right in your yard. We didn't use the kitchen much but it has everything you could need. The cabin is in a great location, close to town and the park. Out of all the "entire home" Airbnb's we have stayed at this might be our favorite. John and Cleo were super kind and responsive. They left us a great bottle of wine too. We not only would stay here again but we intend to come back.

What a gem of a little home in the desert! My husband and I wanted a true getaway over the holidays. A place where we could refresh ourselves and rejuvenate. This was it. John and Clea's house is perfection. It is perfectly designed - from the big outdoor soaking tub to the windows looking at desert landscape in all directions. We would lie in bed at night and soak up the silence and gaze at the stars. Imagine taking a hot shower while having a panoramic outdoor view of the boulders, Joshua trees, and and birds that make this area so special. The house is immaculate and cozy, but minimalist in the best, most relaxing sense of the word. It is on a perfect little spot. We enjoyed the lounge chairs on the patio at night in front of a fire and listened to to the coyotes howl in the distance. In the morning we could hike right into the park from our doorstep. (One of our favorite things to do was watch the bunnies that hang around the front yard.) Our hosts could not have been more gracious or accommodating. They even provided us with a bottle of New Year's Eve champagne. My husband and I frequently stay in Airbnbs when we travel. This was among the best ever. Highly recommend.

The Modernist Jewel is aptly named. It was a perfect space for the two of us to get away from the daily grind. Clean, beautiful, simple and modern. The outdoor shower and tub were a lovely touch. Perfect for chilly December nights to warm our bones while sitting and enjoying the stars. The front and back patios have tables and chairs for guests to relax. The owners have installed twinkle lights in the front and uplights on the trees and boulders facing the property, which make the space even more beautiful. John and Clea were accommodating and responsive. Another great touch is a free pass to the local yoga studio. Sadly we didn't have enough time to attend, but will do so next time. A bonus for animal lovers: the locale makes it easy to spot critters including bunnies and bobcats. Wonderful and beautiful place. Cannot wait to return!

This truly was a "jewel" in the heart of Joshua Tree. The views surrounding the property are stunning. It was difficult to want to leave the home and explore the rest of the park. We were so content and relaxed, enjoying the landscapes around us. We sat in the little soaking tub and watched the stars for hours. This is a place that will truly force you to slow down and relax. The bed was comfortable and everything we needed was provided. The hosts were communicative and friendly, so we were well taken care of. Can't wait to return here someday! It was stunning!

John and Clea's place was amazing and reflected exactly what was included in the listing. Located just outside of the Joshua Tree National Park, we were perfectly situated for adventure and fun. The accommodations were cozy and clean, and the bed was super comfortable. The added bonus of having a speaker system to hook up to was a really nice touch. We loved the outdoor shower and enjoyed sitting by the fire in the evening. John and Clea were super responsive and the entrance and exit was seamless. We will be back for sure!

I want to thanks John and Clea for allowing us to have a small 8 person wedding in their backyard. Let me just say this is an amazing piece of property. It made the wedding ceremony absolutely beautiful and special. The Modern cabin is chic and sophisticated making the whole experience the rustic modern vision I had in mind. What a special day and compliments from all who attended. I recommend this place wholeheartedly. It exceeds expectations. We will definitely be back on our anniversary!

Review Date: 11/14/2016

I can't speak highly enough about John and Clea's Modernist Cabin. It was the perfect getaway for a too-short weekend right on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park... whereby "right on the edge", I mean you're staring at it out of the dining room window!

The cabin is beautiful and well-appointed, and we especially enjoyed the semi-outdoor shower and "cowboy tub". The kitchen is perfectly equipped and sized for cooking pretty much anything you'd want, and the dining area with the aforementioned amazing views is just the right size for a couple with friends.

As for the hosts, John was very helpful and extremely responsive, always responding to texts within minutes! They also left a nice hand-written welcome note with a bottle of wine and some free passes to the local yoga studio (which we were "unfortunately" having too much fun to take advantage of). All of which helped create a very welcoming atmosphere.

The house is located at the end of a dirt road with one neighbor to the side, a couple hundred yards away. Your backyard is the National Park and you therefore feel perfectly secluded without feeling isolated.

Again, my girlfriend and I couldn't have been happier with our time there, and we look forward to visiting again soon!

This is the second time that I've stayed at John and Clea's Modernist Cabin in Joshua Tree and I was just as amazed this time as I was the first time that I stayed several years ago. First, the property is incredible, perfectly laid out in an incredibly efficient and very attractive mid-century (but recently built) modernist style and meticulously maintained. It also comes stocked with all of the pantry essentials you might need during your stay (including some perishables such as milk) as well as the softest towels and linens. They have also provided for a built in Bose sound system that you can link to by Bluetooth for additional ambiance. Equally impressive, however, is the location of the property at the edge of the park. Coming home to enjoy a glass of wine on the private patio while gazing south at gigantic boulders lit by floodlights or north at the sun setting over the Mojave desert is an experience that is difficult to replicate. As long as I go to Joshua Tree, I will stay at John and Clea's modernist masterpiece.

Everything about this stay was beyond expectations. There was a welcome note, along with a bottle of champagne, cold waters in the fridge, and excellent descriptions on how to use everything in the house. It is tricky to get up to the cabin, but again, excellent directions that exceeded my expectations.
This place is magical and I can't wait for my next visit!

We absolutely loved our experience staying at Modernist Jewel and our expectations were exceeded! The location is perfect, remote (yet just a short car ride to Joshua Tree town) and quiet with almost private access to Joshua Tree national park, beautiful rock formations right in front of the cabin! We enjoyed being surrounded by the desert and its wildlife (we were feeding the wild bunnies with the food left by the hosts so they kept coming back and were so close to us!)
The cabin itself was amazing, beautifully designed with modern minimal decor, had everything we needed from Bose sound system to kitchen stuff, BBQ, outdoor bathtub for us to cool down during the hot day and semi-outdoor shower with beautiful views. The cabin was super clean and well kept, the hosts made our stay super easy and we felt welcomed yet not intruded.
We hope to come back for a longer stay and we highly recommend this place to all the desert lovers who wish to spend some quiet time in the wild with all the modern comfort provided in this beautiful cabin.

You can't beat the sunrise cup of coffee or stargazing at night at John & Clea's place! The outdoor shower was awesome too. And feeding the jack rabbits in the backyard! They provide a bunch of info about the park and surrounding hikes which we found really useful as well.

It was a great, relaxing stay. Definitely recommend!

John and Clea communicated with us very effectively and promptly throughout. We did not actually meet them, however, they seemed very friendly, professional and always quick to respond.
We were well prepared with all the information needed for a smooth check-in! We found the cabin with ease following the clear directions and were wowed from the start!
The cabin is just as described- and our overall experience was better than we could have hoped for! The cabin is small, cosy, beautifully and stylishly done and so clean :)
The location is magical... with views overlooking the unique landscape out of all sides of the cabin, it really was incredible. The cabin gave you the feeling of being in nature that you seek from camping, but with the luxuries of staying in a hotel! Having lived in London most of our lives and now in New York City, this cabin gave us the ultimate escape we were looking for- listening to silence for the first time (probably ever) and looking at the stars for hours at night was therapeutic to say the least!
John and Clea provided all the necessities we could have needed... from nice quality towels, bedding, kitchen-ware, oil & spices and a BBQ for our lovely BBQ night in!
We stayed just two nights so were keen to mainly relax but we visited the National Park one morning and explored it by car, stopping off to do some short hikes along the way. It was an amazing experience for us, we'd never seen landscape like it before. We had a great lunch when we arrived at the local Crossroads Cafe and a fun dinner at Pappy & Harriet's in the nearby Pioneertown which are all definitely worth a visit if you have time! The rest of the time, we soaked in the surroundings and relaxed at the cabin.
All in all, this was one of the best trips of our lives and we'll definitely be returning when we have the chance and are in need of some time out :) Thank you to John and Clea for sharing their amazing little gem!

Vi träffade aldrig John och Clea personligen men hade tät kontakt via textmeddelande. och de hjälpte oss med alla eventuella funderingar vi hade. Vi välkomnades av en flaska gott vin och ett personligt brev. Boendet var precis lika underbart som det låter i beskrivningen. Fullt med fönster från golv till tak så var än man vänder sig har man utsikt över det fantastiska landskapet. Vår favorit var nog utebadkaret, det var magiskt att ligga i ett varmt bad och kolla in stjärnhimlen. Men uteduschen med utsikt över klipporna var också en speciell upplevelse. Boendet är väldigt välutrustat det fanns ett Bose ljudsystem och köket har allt du behöver för att laga mat. De tillhandahöll en del basvaror och kryddor. Det fanns ingen tv men vem behöver det med den fantastiska utsikten. För oss är det fem stjärnor rakt igenom. Vi stannade två nätter som en andningspaus mellan San Diego och Las Vegas. Vi var ute efter en "desert experience" och det fick vi verkligen. När det var som varmast mitt på dagen myste vi på de sköna solsängarna under den taktäckta altanen. Vi fick besök av söta små kaniner som mest var det sex stycken. Vi klättrade på klipporna på morgonen innan det blev för varmt. Det var väldigt roligt men svettigt. Om ni ska klättra så vill vi tipsa er om att ta med ett par handskar, vi hade inte det och det hade underlättat.

Really couldn't have picked a more perfect place to stay for our first time in Joshua Tree! John and Clea made the cabin feel like home, but even better. Not everyday can I wake up and drink coffee while being surrounded by the beauty of Joshua Tree - or stargaze and lounge on the patio at night with a glass of wine (thanks to the awesome hosts).
Our stay was far too brief, but we hope to visit again very soon! Thank you so much! :)

From the bathtub under the stars to the sunrise over the rocks at the edge of the park, this place is amazing. We arrived as it was getting dark, and there at the end of the sandy desert road against the rocks was the "Jewel" shining in the night.

Everything you'd need for a few days away, with a very well-equipped kitchen and basics like oil and vinegar, and close to the main entrance of the national park.

We had a great stay and would definitely like to return some day. Thank you, John and Clea!

We LOVED our two nights in the "Modernist Jewel!" We felt bonded to nature, loved the big open windows with the lights we could turn on at night to shine on the boulders and tress and loved feeding the Jack Rabbits and being able to watch them from IN THE SHOWER :D The shower outside and the Bose sound system with fantastic acoustics in the house were probably our stand outs. The high quality in construction and overall architecture of the house we also loved however. It was great being so close to the park entrance and we studied up the night we arrived with the great books about the park and rock formations that were in the house waiting for us. The location is very secluded but that is exactly what we were expecting and hoping for. Nothing disappointed us!! Yippppeee, loved our first trip to Joshua Tree. It seemed like a totally different planet compared to our lake community back in NJ. This was our first Airbnb and now the bar is set very high for future destinations!!

Our stay at John and Clea's "Modernist Jewel" couldn't have been better.

This was my first AirBnB experience, and I have to say that all expectations were exceeded during our stay. The Modernist Jewel was the perfect get away. We only had three days out in Joshua Tree and left wanting to stay another week! We absolutely fell in love with the Modernist Jewel and Joshua Tree. People say that the desert, Joshua Tree in particular, is a magical place. After the weekend, I completely agree with much thanks to the accommodations.

John and Clea were wonderful hosts. The place was quaint, secluded and everything that you would hope for in a relaxing weekend in the desert. The listing was exactly as it reads. It’s perfect for two. The one thing I would say is that the photos don’t do the home justice. It’s absolutely adorable and you have far more space outside than expected. The view is beautiful as well. The outdoor shower and tub were the highlights, as to be expected. As was the personalized bottle of wine that John and Clea left for us which made the welcoming that much sweeter. The basic kitchen amenities are there at your disposal and they have a killer stereo system set-up that allows you to enjoy music and outside.

The neighborhood was secluded other than a few scattered houses that were not even in earshot of each other. The closest house was being worked on next to us, but again everything feels remote and secluded. The house backs up right to boulders that you can easily explore and access, making it a perfect way to enjoy the sunset. The place was close enough to town and far enough removed to feel secluded. It was also about an hour away from the entrance of the National Park, which made for a perfect day trip.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Modernist Jewel to any who is looking to get away. I hope to go back in the near future!

The experience from start to finish was absolutely incredible! They had the lights on the front porch on when we drove up. The place is better then the pictures.

We never met John and Clea, but at all times felt like we were taken care of. They provided very clear instructions on how everything operates. The shower is incredible. Was very warm even in the cold night. The sound system is great, and with provided wifi it makes streaming music effortless. Hands down my favorite rental I've ever experienced.

What can I say that has not already been said?! We found John & Clea's home to be perfect in every way. The property was just as described. Careful thought has been given to every aspect of the property ... a kitchen stocked with essential ingredients and cookware, artwork representative of local artisans, a Bose sound system and amazing views from every window. While we spent some time touring Joshua Tree National Park, the majority of our time was spent exploring the back yard and relaxing in the wonderful space of the house. Highlights would include soaking in the outside tub while gazing at a star studded sky (and, yes, it was fine in January!), the privacy and solitude found at the property, and the truly spectacular natural surroundings. John and Clea were helpful and immediately responded to any texts. The Modernist Jewel truly is a gem. It was hard to leave and we hope to one day return. Thank you, John and Clea, for providing a place filled with beauty and warmth for us to get some R&R.

The host was warm and welcoming when we made our reservation and was very clear with communication. The house was a dream come true in a peaceful and remote area with wide and breathtaking views of the landscape.

Minimal sleek decore, windows galore, beautiful light, great layout, an extremely well equipped kitchen that was so fun to cook in (we made three meals a day during our stay), outdoor shower (accessed through bathroom) and a deep soaking tub outside!

I can not recommend this house highly enough and am excited to return.

An amazing little cabin on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. The entrance itself (northern entrance) isn't too far from the place - if you want to leave the location anyway. Fully stocked kitchen. Even though the shower was outdoors - you don't notice the cold (we went during winter) as the scenery was breathtaking. Having your own rocks to climb and Joshua Trees/Chollas to look at was a great plus! John and Clea were very attentive despite the holiday season and were quick to respond to any questions we had. They even wished me Happy Birthday in the welcome letter. 10/10 will definitely stay here again.

We absolutely LOVED our stay in the Modernist Jewel Cabin. I was so excited to stay in Joshua Tree and I knew I wanted a place that felt like I was living right in the park. John & Clea have created this oasis. The cabin is gorgeous and absolutely perfect for 2 people! Even though the weather was unexpectedly cold during our trip we still took advantage of the soaking tub after a long day of hiking. It was fabulous! And there are cotton tail bunnies that live near the cabin!?! What's not to love? We will absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Joshua Tree. I could not recommend this location more.

Simply put… PERFECTION!

MAGICAL.

Stunning views any direction you look (inside and out, day or night).
A peacefulness that instantly fills your soul.

John & Clea have created a “cabin” that matches the property’s beauty & zen. Comfortable. Stylish. Beauty of design. Attention & perfection in every detail. Breathtaking views from every window.

From the minute you pull up, you won’t want to ever leave. Two comfortable chaise loungers are under the covered patio as you approach the door. Lounge chair towels were awaiting our arrival, so we immediately took our places & admired the stunning view of the granite boulders. Upon entering the spotless cabin, we found that our wonderful hosts had left us a personal note, a bottle of wine, a perfect list of all of the information we might need during our stay & a yoga pass (which sadly we didn’t have opportunity to use… but WILL be sure to on our next visit).

John & Clea made everything easy (every step of the way) & made us feel extremely welcome.

The photos online are gorgeous but in person… it is EVEN BETTER! After seeing the photos, staying at the Modernist Jewel was on our bucketlist. After staying, RETURNING to the cabin is on our bucketlist!

If we had to pick a favorite thing about the cabin, we’d say “The views… no. wait… the sound of the wind blowing through the quiet desert property… no. wait… feeding the bunnies that John & Clea left bunny chow for… no. wait… showering or soaking in truly stunning scenery… no. wait… the attention to detail in EVERY design choice… no. wait… how welcome we felt…” You get the idea.

Thank you John & Clea for a truly magical & memorable trip that will make our hearts smile each time we think of our time in the desert.

My wife and I spent our three year anniversary in this lovely cabin. We have used AirBnB in Paris and Rome, but so far this one is our favorite! It was a beautiful cabin, literally right on the border of the national park with some of the most beautiful views you will ever see. The cabin has everything you need for a weekend or extended stay. John and Clea were excellent hosts, with great recommendations that made our stay even better. The cabin is immaculate, clean, and a perfect getaway spot for some solace and relaxation. I can't recommend this cabin enough! It was our first time in Joshua Tree, and it certainly won't be our last. We will definitely return, and we can't wait to stay in the Modernist Cabin again!

As advertised! John & Clea's was everything we could have imagined. The backyard was exactly like the interior of Joshua tree national Park. What a beautiful quiet place to hang out for the night after a long day of hiking in the heat. Wonderful hosts. Terrific exotic accommodations. Thank you!!! We'll be back!!!

Made to feel very welcome with fresh flowers, wine and yoga vouchers. The jewel is perfectly set in the most beautiful of surroundings, and is a well designed space in which you can't help but be relaxed. If it's free, don't consider booking anything else.

Upon arrival, we fell immediately in love with the Jewel. It is a beautiful contemporary building that manages to reflect its homestead roots, nestled perfectly into the gorgeous desert landscape. And this is its particular charm, the landscape surrounding the property is exquisite - if you want to experience a golden slice of the desert in serene comfort and privacy, then this is IT.
Of our extensive 20 year travels in the American South West staying in many different forms of accommodation, the Modernist Jewel is the most attractive, beguiling, comfortable and being so intimately connected with the desert through outdoor shower and tub, the oddly moving too.
Thank you John and Clea - very worthy owners of the Airbnb Super Host status. We will return!

We loved this place. The location is amazing. Though there are a few houses nearby it felt isolated and very private. The views are stunning. The house is impeccable. Great attention to detail. Fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. Very clean, top of the line furnishings. BBQ and fire pit available. Loved the outdoor bath with a view. Joshua Tree Coffee and Crossroads Cafe are highly recommended. We hope to come back to JT and this rental soon

We never even considered going to the desert for our anniversary, but after seeing this listing, the Modernist Jewel became our destination. The house was so fresh and modern. The lines, inspiring. The silence, rejuvenating. The best part was the outdoor shower and bath. The host was so easy to talk to and was gracious enough to allow us to check in early. This place is truly a gem!

This was a wonderful spot in a beautiful landscape. Everything was very well organized, clean and thought out. John and Clea went above and beyond to make it a great experience. They have a beautiful sense of style which is expressed in the design of the house. We would definitely recommend this to anybody interested in visiting Joshua Tree. Five stars.

We came here for a mini retreat and a celebration of Dominic's birthday. This place was way more than what we had expected. As others put it, no amount of pictures could show how beautiful John and Clea's home is and of course, Joshua tree.

John and Clea made us feel right at home and was more than compassionate towards us. I even got a phone call a couple days before our trip because they had experienced heavy rain fall and Clea was worried about what car we were going to bring and if it will survive the dirt road. She provided suggestions and even offered to move our stay another time for safety but we couldn't move our days off so we just set out for our adventure and it was well worth it. Everything went by smoothly and we didn't have any issues (thankfully).

We were welcomed with a bottle of champagne, a very clean and beautiful cabin, and a warm welcome note for all questions that may need to be answered. Clea was very responsive and provided us with places to eat (although we made use of the kitchen the entire time) and hiking areas.

We hiked in the backyard majority of the time and it was nice to get lost for a little bit. It was indeed a relaxing trip and thanks to John and Clea for accommodating us and sharing with us their home.

It was a great first Airbnb experience.

My boyfriend Shane and I had a wonderful time! John and Clea were super responsive to my questions about the place and local spots. Great hosts! It was so helpful. Everything was very clear about how to use appliances. We enjoyed the cowboy tub, loungers, outdoor shower, and amazing views. We were able to explore and take photos/play music...it was a very inspiring and relaxing trip. Would for sure come back! PS...even left a charger and Clea is mailing it back to us. So kind :)

My husband and I stayed in John and Clea's Modernist Cabin this past weekend over the 4th of July and had an incredible time. The cabin is beautiful, full of large picture windows that allow you to feel connected to the landscape during the hot hours of the day when you are relaxing inside sipping rose. The mattress (Casper I think) is very comfortable and perfect for long naps or crashing after a full day of hiking in Joshua Tree National Park. We brought groceries for the long weekend and used the house grill, pots and pans, as well as enjoyed a night out at Pappy and Harriet's (http://www.pappyandharriets.com/) for live music and a cool local vibe. The Integratron is not to missed, located aprox 30min from the cabin offering Sound Baths, an experience you will never forget. Make a reso in advance to ensure you are able to attend, it fills up fast (http://integratron.com/sound-bath/) and is worth it.

Overall there is not enough space to write how incredible our weekend was. We saw lots of wild life including bunnies, coyotes and lizards, and listened to the birds sing all day. The sunset and sky at night are breath-taking, perfect for star gazing or relaxing in the lounge chairs. John and Clea are very responsive and put a lot of care and personalization into our experience. Who doesn't want to be greeted at the door with a note, bottle of wine and complimentary yoga class pass wishing you a great stay? We already plan to come back in the future. Thank you John and Clea for everything.

It's been a few days since we left the Modernist Jewel and I can't remember how many people I've already recommended it to. Our stay was incredible. It is the perfect Joshua Tree get away for 2. The outdoor tub and a private boulder are spectacular, and you are a few foot steps away from the National Park. John & Clea were both super receptive and very hospitable too.

This is our second stay at the modernist jewel. John and Clea were excellent hosts. They remembered my fiancée and I got engaged in our last stay, they swapped the bottle of wine for champagne. Their attention to detail and nice personal touches really add to entire experience.

My partner and I had an amazing time at John & Clea's home. It was absolutely perfect and the images, while amazing, do not do justice to the beauty of the surrounding area and the views. When we arrived there was a bottle of wine and a personalized note explaining everything to us. Each step of the way John and Clea were accessible and helpful. The home itself is exactly as the pictures show but somehow better. If you're looking for a quiet, secluded and extremely comfortable place to spend a weekend by yourself, with a friend or loved one then this place is absolutely perfect. We would happily go back anytime.

The place was amazing. Even better than my wife and I expected. It was such a great experience I almost didn't want to write a review and keep this gem all to ourselves, but it's to good not to share. I can't imagine any place in Joshua Tree topping this location.

This is such an amazing place to stay! We were greeted with a bottle of wine and free yoga classes when we arrived. The gourmet kitchen made every meal feel like we were eating at an expensive restaurant. I was telling my husband that our weekend was like going to a retreat without the added expense (or the extra people around). The property is very private and remote with all of the amenities provided. Such a beautiful nature escape with a well-appointed modern vibe!

We spent 3 days at the Modernist Jewel and it was, indeed, a Gem in the desert. Wow! What an amazing location. You really can walk right out of the door into one of the most beautiful parts of Joshua Tree National Park. We hiked all 3 days and enjoyed the modern cabin completely. Cooked breakfast and dinner in the Gourmet Kitchen. Watched the wild life from the lounge chairs and the picture window. If you are up early, you may be fortunate to see coyotes strolling by on their way home. We saw three. Also saw cottontails, orioles, hummingbirds and a roadrunner. Comfortable bed? Yes! Great outdoor shower? Indeed! And if you love music, bring some along. Fantastic Bose sound system! We listened to the sound track of "The Great Beauty" while we watched the day light fade into night. it was magical.

John & Clea made us feel welcome from the minute we booked by being so available to answer questions about both the house and the Joshua Tree area. We arrived to a bottle of wine and personal note, along with a thorough list of instructions that made our stay carefree. The house itself was perfect, and we had everything we could have needed. The bistro lights outside, the candles, the feed for the native rabbits, the artwork, the free yoga pass, plenty of maps, and the personal touches made us feel totally at home. The outdoor spaces were so lovely, we honestly never wanted to leave!

This place is simply amazing. The lighting of the rocks right outside and privacy and area couldn't be better. The style of the place is great and it's just the perfect size for two.

What an amazing cabin and area. Spectacular views and natural surroundings, the pictures couldn't ever do it justice. The place was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed to cook several awesome meals, relax and enjoy our weekend stay. Wouldn't hesitate to head back to stay here again in the future, in fact it would be really hard to stay anywhere else after staying here.

This modernist jewel is even better than the photos and description depict! Every detail of the house is just perfect. You will be wanting for nothing. Equally as spectacular is the location - a living diorama of the desert is at your feet, and you will feel the energy of the desert every single minute you are in the house or on the grounds. Several mornings we headed straight out of the backyard and walked for hours without seeing another person. Early evening soaking in the outdoor tub, watching and hearing the life all around is just such a treat, how wonderful that John and Clea thought of the outdoor tub! John and Clea are GREAT hosts, they are organized, meticulous, welcoming and they go the extra mile. Clea arranged for us to have private yoga and energy sesssions/massages with Neysa - a magical, MUST-MUST-DO experience. Thank you John and Clea, we cannot wait to return!

We were blown away by this place, we honestly didn't want to leave! The location is unbelievable, your own private boulders and national park outside your window, lit up at night with their clever lighting. The semi outdoor shower is wonderful, watching this same view every time you shower! And the outdoor bathtub fantastic too! One of the most well equipped kitchens we've stayed in, including a brilliant Bose sound system, every tiny detail has been thought of at this place. Fluffy new white towels, and a black towel to wash your makeup off. Towels for the outdoor bathtub too! It's a perfect quiet, romantic retreat for two. If I had to pick one downfall it would be that the lighting inside is very dark, but seeing as that added to the romance all was forgiven. Many thanks, I hope we can return one day!

The modernist cabin gracefully captures the essence of the desert surroundings. From the spectacular panoramic desert landscape views where you can watch sunrises and sunsets to the towering boulders just steps away, this cabin offers an immersive experience. We enjoyed the architectural details and incredible simplistic design. Every design detail was obviously considered. The floor to ceiling windows blur the boundaries between indoors and outside. We enjoyed sipping wine and star gazing in the outdoor galvanized tub. The cabin provides serenity yet is close to everything you need, and just a few miles from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance. We loved staying here and place this among the top rental experiences we have had through our global travels.

Amazing desert getaway with gracious, kind hosts. We stayed here for two nights and had a great time. It will be a place to return to for sure. The space is small, but didn't end up feeling that way because of the set up and large windows. It seems connected with the beautiful surrounding landscape and had everything we needed while there.

Thank you John & Clea!

This was my second stay in the cabin, and it was as lovely as ever. The weather was a bit cooler, which was nice for exploring the beautiful landscape. You can literally walk into Joshua tree from the backyard!
This is a super lovely, quiet, spot, and the cabin is clean, well-kept, beautifully designed. Every amenity you need (I especially enjoy the outdoor bathtub for bathing among the joshua trees).
John and Clea were accommodating and welcoming, and I look forward to returning soon.

Wow, this place is amazing! The house feels like it is right in the park. When you think of Joshua Tree, its about the amazing desert terrain, large boulders, cactus, and the Joshua trees that you find scattered about. This place has it all. The house is very secluded and it was a treat to wake up each day to amazing views of the landscape. This a place you will not soon forget. We can't wait to go back.

The hosts John and Clea were super attentive and ensured we had a great stay.

The Modernist Cabin is a meditation on the light, poetry, and style of this special place—Joshua Tree. This marvel has been sculpted with love and expert attention to detail including precise (and gorgeous!) lighting and windows, to an excellent sound system, and creature comforts like quality towels, lounge chairs, and linens. There exists a wonderful balance of indoor and outdoor living space, privacy, and spartan elegance. One of my favorite gestures is that the cabin is tastefully decorated with works from local artists. The National Park boundary is steps from the cabin and wildlife teems including sweet little rabbits, birds, and the occasional coyote howl in the late night. This place is perfectly suited to slow down, drink in the impressive landscape, retreat, and renew. The hosts are warm, welcoming, and take wonderful care to make sure all is right.

John and Clea were perfect hosts. They responded promptly to my inquires and were timely and direct about the schedule for our arrival and departure. Our stay included Valentines Day and we found some thoughtful welcoming treats upon our arrival that set the tone for a very private and relaxing week of birdwatching and reading on the patio chaises, exploring the park by walking directly into it and venturing further afield by car, and spending the evenings marveling at the sunsets and preparing tasty meals in the well stocked kitchen. The modernist cabin has what so many other places lack–clean, functional spaces that are a joy to inhabit. Our stay left us feeling revived and invigorated and so happy to be under the Joshua Tree sun rather than cold winter clouds back east. Kudos to Clea and John for sharing such a gem!

This place was absolutely amazing! The house had everything we needed and was totally charming. The views were beyond anything I could describe and I don't even think the photos fully do it justice.

Thank you for the most enjoyable weekend!

The Modernist Jewel is wonderfully designed and is in an ideal location for accessing Joshua Tree National Park. The property itself is beautiful, its feels like your in the park. We utilized the fully equipped kitchen to cook most of our meals (there is also a outdoor bbq grill). The outdoor shower and tub were an awesome . The Bose sound system was a nice touch. The owners were very accommodating All in all this is an amazing house at a great value. We will be back.

My wife and I stayed for two nights celebrating our 15th anniversary and our experience was wonderful! A beautiful space in a serene setting with complete privacy and breathtaking views combined with fantastic weather made for the perfect time. It was a nice surprise to find champagne and treats when we arrived and relaxing to sit out while the sun set on the patio visited by the birds and wildlife. We brought the telescope and got some star gazing in with clear skies at night. I wish I could have gotten down to the yoga studio in the morning, but it was relaxing to just sleep in and do a little hike right from the back door. I was really impressed by the restaurants in town and was happy with the vegan options - rare find in rural places. Thank you John and Clea!

John and Clea were very helpful and communicative in arranging or visit to their fantastic cabin. We had a wonderfully quiet and peaceful stay at the cabin, just what we needed after a few days on the road. The place itself was beautifully furnished with the kitchen nicely equipped to cook a few simple meals, do your grocery shopping in advance if you don't want to drive down the dirt road to the nearby village for supplies! Thanks for a wonderful stay John and Clea, we would love to be back again soon

This place is so incredibly special I'm a little reluctant to leave a review in order to keep the amazing-ness of this place to a minimum.

First of all, John and Clea we're really accommodating, quick to respond and very pleasant to work with.

Their place; fantastic. My girlfriend and I wanted to spend some intimate time somewhere reclusive and the Modernist Jewel perfectly fit this bill. We were there for three nights and I could have easily stayed longer just sitting and staring at their "backyard" which consists or larger boulders of monzonite granite. Very relaxing in a spectacular way.

At our arrival, we were greeted with a message and some goodies. What I really liked (besides the fully stocked kitchen in which my girlfriend and I became chef and sous-chef in every night) were the self guided tour books for the neighboring Joshua Tree National Monument Josh and Clea provided. We ended up using one and spending four hours driving through Joshua Tree, which we never originally intended. Side note; the high desert is extremely beautiful in its own way.

Best for last; this place will forever me a special place to my girlfriend-now-fiance. With a beautiful backdrop, reclusive aura and quiet space I was provided the perfect place to propose (which was a large reason why I chose the Modernist Jewel). After she said yes, we enjoyed the feeling over the next couple days of being engaged before telling family and friends when we departed.

In conclusion, this has all the bells and whistles of a modern hotel (loved the Bose surround sound) accompanied with the feel of outdoor camping and seclusion. Would definitely recommend this to others!

PS. But please don't book it when we decide to celebrate our engagement here in future years ;)

The modernist jewel was a great location for accessing the park. It was nice to have a fully stocked kitchen to cook meals. We stayed while it was very chilly outside (20 degrees) and the outdoorsy shower and tub were still pleasant to utilize. The owners answered our questions very quickly and were easy to work with. Loved our stay and would return the next time we are in the area. Our favorite place to go was Pappy and Harriet's. Great place to see awesome live music, drinks, food and people watching! A awd vehicle was nice to have going to/from the house as the sandy road was quite bumpy.

The Modernist Jewel is absolutely perfect for a quiet escape to Joshua Tree. The space is perfect for a couple. It includes everything you need to be comfortable (nice towels, comfortable bed, well-stocked kitchen, etc) as well as some "extras" like the fantastic sound system and yoga passes. Do not be intimidated by the outdoor shower. We visited during a cold snap and found the shower totally refreshing. The cabin is ideally located for exploring Joshua Tree and manages to feel quite remote without actually being far from town. At night we could see billions of stars from the comfort of the warm, cozy bed. During the day, I spent hours on the back porch reading books in the sunshine.

John & Clea are excellent hosts. Everything was well-communicated and in good order. I highly recommend this place!

The Modernist Jewel is a great couples retreat in Joshua Tree! It's located far enough from other residents so you have privacy (we never saw a neighbor), yet it is not too far from the National Park. We cooked breakfast and dinner both days and they had everything we needed. The clear welcome instructions, bottle of wine and yoga passes were very thoughtful. The Joshua Tree information/hiking book was also helpful. We really enjoyed our weekend and would do it again. :)

Wow! The cabin is perfectly designed and is in the most spectacular location - just at the edge of Joshua Tree. We loved gazing out of the window at the landscape and also watching the super cute cottontails come to feed at dusk. We missed our flight and were delayed by 24 hours. John and Clea made the whole visit stress free and even let us check out late so we got to spend more time in the cabin. There is so much attention to detail - the house has everything you might need, clear instructions and even yoga vouchers. All in all - a perfect airbnb! Really hope to visit again. Thanks both!

An absolutely wonderful and magical experience. Every attention to detail was met and exceeded. My fiancée and I spent 3 nights there and every minute was a relaxing and enlightening desert experience. The cabin is near to town while at the same time being at the very border of the Joshua Tree park, so it was private and the whole desert felt like a big backyard to sit in and reflect. The kitchen was great and so much was provided. Coffee, tea, oatmeal and a bottle of wine were there for us and the kitchen came equipped with everything needed to make every meal that we wanted. If we had known it was so well equipped, we might have done even more grocery shopping! The outdoor tub was very relaxing and with the on-demand hot water heater was an instant perfect hot tub for the cold desert nights. Really, so much was taken care of that it's hard to even list off all the subtle details that made this place so perfect. You and yours owe yourself this perfect way to experience the high desert, and say hi to the bunnies for us.

This was perhaps our best Airbnb experience. The space is beautiful and clean and provided everything we needed. John and Clea were really thoughtful from the minute we were accepted, we had excellent communication with them. The space is beautifully decorated, with a few great and unique amenities. The outdoor shower is amazingly refreshing, as was the outdoor bathtub! The location itself could not be better. As guests who value our privacy, we felt really alone at this place (except for the rabbits that come out at night). We enjoyed walking around the park area that was the "back yard" to this space, but the location is great to drive to the actual Joshua Tree Park entrance. The place is bright, beautiful and vibrant, with lots of bright windows and some great outdoor relaxation areas (the outdoor patio is a great touch!) We highly, highly, highly recommend the Modernist Jewel.

I will definitely be returning again.

I loved the sound system, the fully equipped kitchen, the lounge chairs, and the view of the boulders as we ate breakfast outside. We did not want to leave! John & Clea were very communicative and helpful during our stay. This was our first time in Joshua Tree. I booked the cabin (and weekend trip) as a present for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. He loved it! This cabin definitely made this trip an unforgettable experience! I want to come back and stay here!

Review Date: 7/4/2014

With very clear directions I was able to arrive at John & Clea's cabin with no issues at all (the road to the house is a dirt road, so it's probably best to bring your biggest vehicle, if not take it slow 10-15mph up the road).

The cabin itself is spectacular, with a shaded patio that opens directly into the home and ultimately leads out to a dining area with a soaking tub, BBQ and table for dining. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a ton of closet space. The bathroom is fully stocked and the enclosed outdoor shower is something to be experienced.

My favorite part of the property was how it literally sat on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. You can just start walking away from the home and before you know it you're in the park. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again.

A truly amazing getaway. Both for the view over the desert and for the cabin being a work of art itself. Worth every penny. We could have spent less and stayed in a nice place in Palm Springs or another home in the area. But the modernist jewel was what we needed and we will definitely come back. John and Clea are always amazing hosts. Top notch in every way. Thanks J/C!

We loved staying at the Modernist Jewel in JT! The views from the house were spectacular, and we were just a short drive from the JT park entrance. John and Clea added the personal touch of a "happy birthday" bottle of champagne and yoga passes (from their studio). We loved the evening yoga class - much needed after a day of hiking! The kitchen was well equipped (we cooked all of our meals) and the full size bed was comfortable. Loved the bathroom and it's outdoor shower! We even made use of the tub outside and soaked in the sun! Check in / out was smooth (easy to follow directions on the counter) - although, you can't really trust an iPhone to find the address! haha! Cleo was very helpful with directions to the place, once we realized that the GPS was not an option! We arrived after dark and really appreciated the lights being on for when we arrived. Thank you for everything!

We had a fantastic time at the cabin, it was perfect for our needs. John and Clea were a total class act, the house and property were clean, there were fresh flowers out, wine, and a very handy clipboard with everything we needed to know. I'll admit my first action after reading everything was to throw a scoop of food out for the local bunnies :) The house and the scenery is better than the photos even depict, its remote while still being convenient. If we are in Joshua Tree again we would rent here again without hesitation. One small word of caution maybe ask for something better than the compact rental car, the road leading to the house is rough.

John and Clea were absolutely amazing hosts, and honestly, the pics don't do the place justice. When we arrived, there was a personalized note for us and a bottle of wine. They were incredibly responsive throughout our stay and addressed all our questions before and during our stay. The kitchen was well equipped though not extensive. The scenery is beautiful and the sound from their bose was really impressive. It's such a romantic beautiful setting that my beau decided to propose to me earlier than what they were originally planning, "because it was too beautiful of a setting to pass up the opportunity". It was honestly the best airbnb experience to date, even if you don't count the proposal.

The "Modernist Jewel" was absolute perfection. I cannot say enough nice things about this magical space. John and Clea thought of everything. The entire home from the kitchen to the bathroom to the outdoor areas were completely thought out and equipped with everything you could possibly need. We spent the majority of our days hiking right in our own backyard and nights under the stars bbq'ing and enjoying wine in our tub, but this place is just as great to lie out, take in the scenery and enjoy the warm desert sun during the day. We had an amazing time in this home and can't wait to come back!!

Such a peaceful place to rest your head and refresh! The views are unbeatable...even the one from the shower! If you are heading to Joshua Tree, you really should stay at the "Modernist Jewel"! Everything you need is there...an outdoor bathtub for 2, a relaxing shower with amazing views, all of the kitchen amenities you could need so you can stay in and enjoy a relaxing evening and the Bose surround system is such a great perk!

We will definitely be back!

Our stay at the Modernist Jewel was perfect in every way! What an incredibly special, wonderful place. John & Clea were so helpful & thoughtful: they not only gave us detailed recommendations for places to hike, eat, and play but also supplemented the (already gorgeous) cabin with lovely surprises- everything from fragrant fresh lilies to a delicious bottle of wine. After a log day of exploring the park it was so delightful to come back to our cozy home away from hom, relax by the outdoor fire pit and grill up some dinner all the while taking in the magical desert landscape that surrounded us. We will be back for sure! Thank you for making our trip to Joshua Tree so memorable.

We had an amazing weekend at the Modernist Jewel exploring Joshua Tree and the Palm Springs area. You can literally walk out into the Joshua Tree national park from the backyard of this place. The place is beautifully sunlight, well-decorated with local artwork, and even had fresh flowers in vases! It's a small space but perfect for two. We made breakfast, enjoyed the outdoor shower, and thoroughly enjoyed climbing the boulders outside.

Highly recommended! John and Clea were wonderful the whole way through.

Simply magical! My husband and I stayed for 2 nights for our babymoon retreat and we wish we could have stayed for at least 3! The Joshua Tree area is one of beauty and serenity, and the Modernist Cabin capitalized well on that. The indoor accommodations were smartly laid out from clean lines and beautiful natural tones with a modernist edge, to incorporating the outdoors when inside (all the large windows!). We absolutely loved the outdoor shower and a nice soak in the cowboy tub under the stars. The lighting ideally placed outside to showcase the cactus' and boulders was such a unique touch! This location is remote enough to where we enjoyed visits from local birds (mtn quail), lizards, bunnies and jack rabbits. Coyotes were heard at night, but we sadly didn't see them. It was such a wonderful experience that we look forward to a future stay!

We have never stayed anywhere like this before and probably never will again. Until our next stay an the Modernist Jewel of course! John and Clea were extremely easy to get a hold of and more than happy with any questions we had. We were a little concerned driving to the cabin after nightfall, but if us LA folk can manage it, anyone can! The drive from the main road up to the cabin is fairly bumpy, but doable. The cabin sits the farthest back into the beautiful desert backdrop compared to any of its closest neighbors. Making you feel wonderfully isolated, aside from little furry bunny friends that occasionally came by to say hello. The space is extremely intimate so having over 2 people would definitely be a squeeze. Although we visited during the winter the cabin kept a cozy temperature. But do remember that since the shower is exposed to the outside it will be quite brisk!

You are less than a 10 minute drive from the West entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. Or if you are adventurous, you can just explore your backyard which leads into the park.

The voucher for a free yoga class at the local studio in downtown Joshua Tree was an unexpected bonus! While in the desert, do yoga? It only added to the relaxed feeling of our entire weekend. We cannot thank both John and Clea so much for inviting us into this magical place they have carefully created and I am sure you will have the same experience!

Wow, wow, wow! Such a find, amazing remote location on the edge of Joshua Tree....everything that you need is here, in the perfect house. Walls of windows, star lit skies at night, huge soaking tub and priceless views. Even outdoor lights to light up the view of the boulders at night. I'm still not over it, we loved our stay and I love every single thing about this place. Such sweet conversations with our hosts too, even after our stay we got recommendations of where to go at our next stop. Can't say enough great things, if you have the chance- go! It's heaven.

Amazing experience. My wife and I booked a few days to get away from the Canadian cold. My best AirBnB experience so far.
The hosts were gracious and replied instantly and checked in several times to keep communication flowing. The location of the cabin is reachable via google maps so no issues with finding it.

The space itself was magical. The photos are just a start. Cooking dinner during a desert sunset while listening to a whole-home Bose system was a highlight, along with the outdoor shower.

Wildlife count in 48 hours:
5 cottontail bunnies
3 coyotes
2 lizards
1 roadrunner
1 long-eared hare

What a cute, clean fun cabin set in the backdrop of Joshua Tree National Park. A bottle of red and a box of chocolates were waiting for us upon arrival. Extra bonus! The cabin was perfect for a romantic getaway. Lots of great lighting, comfortable, well-stocked kitchen. Fun to take an outdoor shower under the stars. Close to town, shopping and Integratron. I would recommend this place and would stay here again if I come back.

We had a great stay at the Modernist Cabin. John and Clea were very communicative and responsive, which we always appreciate. The house is amazing, like being inside and outside at the same time. And right on the park border! Illuminated boulder/plant option in the evening is a great theatrical touch.
Would stay here again in a minute! Thanks!

This place is so amazing. It's right on the park border, so feels remote, but it's actually close to everything. While I was there I felt so at peace and in harmony with nature. It was exactly what I wanted. The hosts were so accommodating. I was even surprised with a welcome bottle of wine. The organization and communication was perfect. I knew exactly where everything was and how to work it. There was even a Bose surround sound system for hooking up music. The place was spotless and clean and modern. It is so beautiful and I felt right at home, thanks to the wonderful hosts and their amazing little getaway spot on Joshua Tree. I will definitely go back!

Our stay and experience at the Modernist Jewel was far beyond our expectations. The place is a modern slice of desert paradise. Bathtub under the star-littered sky, a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise on the east wing outdoor patio, glass of wine on the west wing outdoor patio, feeding and watching tons of rabbits mingle, hiking/bouldering straight out the backyard with nobody insight, all the kitchen supplies we needed to cook up a storm. The experience was priceless. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

The Modernist Cabin is beautiful, and John and Clea are thoughtful and responsive hosts. It is gorgeously situated on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park, and a perfect retreat. We stayed over Thanksgiving, and the kitchen was more than amply stocked with all the pots and pans and utensils we needed for our two-person feast of turkey, stuffing mashed potatoes, and pie. We will certainly be back!

The "Modernist Jewel" is almost beyond description. So cozy and thoughtfully designed, not to mention nestled in honestly one of the most unearthly landscapes in the US, Joshua Tree. You can literally walk out the back door into the park and loose yourself making your own path through the valleys and rock formations.
My husband and I celebrated his 30th birthday weekend here and are still completely in awe of how perfect it was.
We cooked delicious meals everyday, woke up to the sun and a ridiculously beautiful outdoor shower. Made fires at night and enjoyed the outdoor cowboy tub under a blanket of super clear stars.
John and Clea were helpful and super sweet leaving a bottle of champagne for us to celebrate another cycle around the sun. They were available for any questions we had but left us to explore and enjoy the environment ourselves.
We will absolutely be making our way back for another stay very soon. In the meantime, do not hesitate, this place will exceed all of your expectations!!

We loved our stay at the Modernist Jewell. It's a beautifully designed space in a perfect location and the setting is amazing. Floor to ceiling windows that look out directly to the park mean you never have to leave the space to feel connected to Joshua Tree. Giant boulder formations and cacti are illuminated both day and night thanks to well placed outdoor lighting operational from inside. It was far better than I expected. I was unsure whether I'd like the outdoor shower but I loved it. It's very private and has a fantastic view. The hosts are awesome and the place is appointed with pretty much anything you might need. I can't recommend this place enough!

Trust me, you want to book this place! We could not have been more thrilled with the wonderful escape John and Clea have created!! I wasn't sure if the place would feel small, if the shower would feel weird, if the tub would be uncomfortable, if we would miss a living room...but once we arrived, I soon discovered that any worries I had were for naught - everything about this place is amazing! John and Clea are also wonderful hosts - they took the time to make some excellent recommendations for food and hikes since we were JTree virgins, and I really think it made our trip so much more enjoyable than if we had been left to our own devices. Thank you guys for a beautiful, memorable JTree weekend! I really cannot recommend this place enough!

The Modernist Jewel is an amazing getaway and a great value. The home is gorgeous, and while small, it's so well laid out that we hardly noticed. The siting and orientation of the windows make the desert-scape feel immediate. It is tidy and well appointed, including interesting local art. And John and Clea were generous, responsive and wonderful to work with. We will go back!

The absolute best way to experience Joshua Tree! John and Clea were extremely helpful building up to and during our stay, with flexible check in and check out especially. They left books and information for us when we got there which was really helpful to figure out the house and the area.
When we arrived we were astounded by the incredible view and impeccably kept house. Everything is very clean and well maintained and the design is amazing. The outdoor bath and shower are particularly wonderful!
It's so easy to experience the park from here, even if you just sit outside the property. Star gazing is great for the evenings too! Fully recommend this place if you want to get away and experience something breathtakingly beautiful and comfortable.
We are already planning when to go back!

Where to start? First off, this was our first time using airbnb.com. We had a weekend wedding to attend in Joshua Tree and wanted to try something new in the way of accommodations. I’m happy to say that we landed the perfect home away from home, in John & Clea’s “Modernist Jewel.” The cabin is perfectly situated with a beautiful view of the park, and has everything one needs for a relaxing stay. We were struck by the attention to detail and warmth when you first walk into the cabin. A bottle of wine and customized welcome letter was waiting for us on the kitchen counter. The Bose system sounded great and the overall state of the cabin was impeccable. We enjoyed the complimentary yoga classes on Saturday and loved the oversized tub out back. The floor to ceiling window in the dining area made for an incredible view while eating breakfast. We even saw a tortoise strolling by outside! For a couple wanting a cozy place to stay and relax, look no further. We highly recommend the “Modernist Jewel” and are happy to have dealt with such a gracious and warm couple in John & Clea.

The "Modernist Jewel" was even more amazing than what I expected! This special place oozes tranquility and defines the Joshua Tree experience to a "t". Also, John and Clea were excellent hosts - they were prompt in answering my questions about the area (ex. where's the closest grocery, restaurants, etc.), provided tourist books, and check in/out was easy breezy!

This place. The photos are really beautiful, but I was still really impressed when I saw it in person. It was the perfect space in this climate for a couple to spend a weekend. But I could have spent much longer.

The thing I don't think the photos capture is just how big the views are - or how you see them from every spot in the house. The boulders on the park side are right there across the yard - you really feel like you are in the park. But there are beautiful views from all sides: across the valley to the north, the "city lights" of Joshua Tree; the sunset behind the mountains.

I didn't miss a living room at all. In fact, even though it was summertime and in the upper 90's, I really didn't feel like I needed to be inside at all. The house is designed so well that it's not necessary. One side has a covered patio for day time, and on the other has an open courtyard for night.

The outdoor bathtub is what sold me on this spot and it didn't disappoint. I spent each night watching the amazingly clear stars you hear so much about from the bathtub. We watched for shooting stars and watched the resident bunnies until late at night. The outdoor shower had a spectacular view and was so private. Really the best outdoor shower I've ever used.

All of the amenities worked perfectly - the audio system, a/c, bathtub, ice maker (an ice maker in the desert is a really welcome luxury) - and John & Clea had left exhaustive notes that made staying here so easy. They really went above and beyond. I recommend this spot with no reservations. You really can't do better in Joshua Tree.

Thanks guys!

Beautiful, private, excellent proximity to both Park Blvd & 29 Palms entrances to Joshua Tree National Park. A stone's throw from Joshua Tree Village. Cabin is well set up with all conveniences (towels, coffee maker, dishes, pans, stereo). John & Clea always responded to my queries quickly, provided detailed directions to the property, and left for us in the cabin excellent check-in / check-out guidelines and information about the surrounding area and local artists. Highly recommended.

My boyfriend and I were in Joshua Tree and had a wonderful time at the cabin. We arrived late in the evening and felt instantly relaxed. It was nice to be in a house without a TV, the stereo system is great and easy to use - just plug in your ipod! The house is set back a little bit but close enough to town that it isn't a big hassle. I was skeptical about the outdoor shower at first, but it was really refreshing. I loved it.

I am a very particular person and highly recommend this place if you're staying in Joshua tree. It's perfect for a relaxing, weekend getaway.

Unbelievable cabin right at the edge of one of the most beautiful parks in the U.S. The cabin is not large but it is marvel of space efficiency with more than enough room for two people who are not romantically connected (romantically would be even easier). No TV or indoor sitting area (except for the dining room and a functional breakfast bar), but 2 extraordinary outdoor seating areas complete with portable fireplace from which to enjoy views of the heavens as well as illuminated rocks up close. Clea and John are amazing and thoughtful hosts and always reachable with any questions.

The cabin appeared brand new and was spotless with everything that you would want (sponges, kitchen towels) newly purchased. The cupboard pantry was stocked in a very stylish way with all of the necessities and it was a please taking showers semi-outside with newly purchased organic products.

I don't have enough words to describe how perfect thie modernist cabin was. You will not be disappointed!

The Modernist Cabin was ideal for my purposes--a solo, five-day writing retreat in the desert--but it would be perfect for anyone looking for true beauty and even refinement in the Joshua Tree area. The photos don't do justice to the property's dramatic views, or to how John and Clea have enhanced them with window placement and outside lighting--it's like being in your own private national park. The amenities are nicely thought through, from a well-equipped kitchen to a cabin-wide Bose system with iPod/computer adapters to free class passes to a nearby yoga studio. Although it was very cold while I was in Joshua Tree, the cabin stays very warm; even the outside shower was totally fine once the hot water hit. As John and Clea make clear, the cabin is quite small--it was absolutely perfect for me, and I can imagine a couple enjoying the intimacy. Once the weather warms up, there are two very nice outdoor seating areas that open up the space options. As for me, I'll absolutely be back, either to get more writing done, or to explore more of the park in warmer weather. One of my top AirBnB experiences ever.

Now I understand why I everyone wants to stay at this desert getaway where fancy doorman and pesky tourists don’t inhabit. Not once during my trip did I have the opportunity to think about my busy life back home in Chicago. As soon as we drove half way up the driveway , before even seeing the house I was automatically at total peace and ready for compete relaxation . Everything said in other reviews reflect the modernist jewel very accurately and I was beyond pleased with all aspects of the home exceeding my expectations. The small Jewel and her small touches where the perfect contrast to the enormous expansive private desert surroundings. Imagine being dropped off on planet mars but having the luxury of hot water , electric and a great little town to provide you with anything and everything you will ever need . It was also comforting knowing that John and Clea live close by and know the area well. Their recommendations for places to take day hikes were great and the backyard is basically your own private desert where you are free to roam amongst the wildlife, boulders, assorted cactus and breathtaking views( all beautifully illuminated at night ) . Life is short. Time is what I value most. We thoroughly enjoyed every second of our stay. Don’t waste your time looking at other places and book the modernist jewel for a guaranteed perfect stay in the heart of Joshua Tree.

PS. Thank You for the Valentines Day Chocolates & Bubbles !!

John and Clea's cabin is absolutely magical, even better than we expected. My boyfriend and I decided to spend New Years here and it was just the escape we were looking for. Although you are a short drive from "downtown" Joshua Tree, when at the cabin you feel a million miles away. We arrived our first night just as the sun was setting and the view of the rock formations that make up the cabins backyard were breathtaking. The attention to detail in this place is superb and the two things that stood out most to us was the Bose audio system (so much fun to have good quality music playing while we cooked!) and the outdoor lighting that lit up one of the boulders and one of the trees, giving you a great view from the floor to ceiling windows even at night. Although it was freezing while we were there, we took advantage of the cowboy tub and had a star filled night soak. The hot water is abundant and the tub kept us warm enough that the cold air wasn't a problem. Same for the partially outdoor shower. Chilly for just a moment but the warm water and the incredible views made it an enjoyable experience. Plus the heater in the bathroom makes it nice and toasty for when you're done. All in all we hiked the area directly behind the cabin, ventured into Palm Springs for some vintage shopping, had a few drinks at the Joshua Tree Saloon (where everyone was nice and friendly), cooked in the well equipped kitchen and, due to my boyfriend unfortunately getting sick, spent our last day there nestled in the incredibly comfortable bed which ended up being just as enjoyable as anything else we did. No matter what you want for your vacation, adventure or just to rest and relax, John and Clea's cabin is the perfect spot to do it. We will definitely be back!

John and Clea's cabin in Joshua tree is absolutely lovely. Its basically brand new and no expense was spared. This is a very well thought out space, and a great retreat for the solo traveler or a couple. What you see in the pictures is even nicer in person. Every piece of furniture, every item in the space is quality and you feel like you are in a designer home. There are fabulous shades on the windows that give you total privacy if you desire - or keep everything open and let that sun shine in! The sound system for your ipod/phone is top of the line. (Warning: you will want to upgrade your sound system after staying here!) It was cold when I stayed there so I didn't get to make use of the outdoor areas as much as I would have liked, but I did get a chance to use the amazing soaking tub outside. The shower is partially outdoors but like they say, their tankless heater keeps you very warm. Also, like John and Clea advertise, the cabin is on the small side - it really is just for 1 or 2 adults who want an upscale type of retreat. It is also very close to town and close to JTNP so there is a lot to go check out and explore. I highly recommend this place - from the high end furnishings to the sweet little bunnies that scatter about the property its a very special find on AirBnB.

My boyfriend and I went to John and Clea's magical place over Thanksgiving, and we couldn't have asked for more. This place is perfect. Size, amenities, everything If you're looking to get out of the hustle and bustle, this is the place. NATURE! We went for 6 hour hikes, watched the sun come up with the bunnies and drank coffee on the outside patio, watched the sunset and cooked amazing meals with the brand new kitchen and soaked in the outdoor cowboy tub. The outdoor shower is unreal. Just massive rock structures all around you. This trip truly solidified our 4 years together. John & Clea were so accommodating, offering us discounts to yoga classes led by Clea, flexible to check-out times, etc. We truly cannot wait to go back. If you like to hike, love the powerful feeling of nature, and peace and quiet... this is the place for you. We are definitely going to be returning a few times a year. What a magic place. Thank you so much, John and Clea. Words just don't do justice for how special this place is. Can't wait to be back.

Wonderful spot from which to explore the park and experience the desert. Cabin is wonderfully sunny during the day and very cozy in the chillier evenings. Stillness abounds. Kitchen, bath, etc. are well-appointed and attention has been paid to every detail. Works by local artists adorn the walls and are available for purchase. Enjoyed exploring the property and relaxing in the cowboy tub while stargazing. If you're feeling adventurous, you can climb some of the impressive boulder piles on the outer edge of the park. For those who'd prefer to travel by car, the West Entrance of the park is a short drive away. John and Clea were extremely responsive and it was a breeze to book with them. Would definitely return and highly recommend to others.
