ACTIVITIES/ATTRACTIONS
Visitors come to the High Desert for its unique landscape, culture, and recreational opportunities, as well as for the weather - hot and dry summers and mild winters at our high altitude. Joshua Tree and the communities surrounding the Joshua Tree National Park include Flamingo Heights, Pioneertown, Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, and Landers. You’ll be close to all the action at Pause House. Some of our favorite options available to you:

–Joshua Tree National Park: 800,000 acres of mystical beauty - Joshua Tree National Park is one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures. Sweeping, grand in scale and populated by granite monoliths and voluptuous rock and boulder formations. This quiet land, conducive to meditation and roaming, was carved by extremes in climate - wind, rain and an ever-present, relentless sun. Diverse forms of plant life are found everywhere, but none as unique or prevalent as the park’s namesake: the Joshua tree, standing majestically across the vast topography.

–Pioneertown: Step back in time to thus rustic Old West-style village. Wander through the historic buildings, visit unique shops, catch a live music performance at Pappy & Harriets, and experience the Wild West charm.

• The Integratron: New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.

Very beautiful Airbnb! Isolated but close enough to stores/food/town. The stargazing was amazing! I would recommend this place & see myself going back! Everything was as listed & hosts were very responsive, 10/10.

I loved my stay! The place had everything we needed, was quiet and peaceful, and gave us the perfect space to recharge. It’s close to the Joshua Tree entrance but far enough from the hustle and bustle to feel serene. Overall, I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

If you want an escape, but not be so far away from amenities, this is it. The peace and solitude are enhanced by the beautiful sunsets. Morning wildlife activities were a real treat to watch right outside.

Great place for a little getaway.
- Review Date: 9/29/2024

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay at Homestead in Joshua Tree. The house was stunning, well-designed, and very secluded, perfect for a romantic weekend getaway.
- Review Date: 9/25/2024

Great stay! My partner and I had a great time relaxing and detaching. Hot tub sunset was a very memorable experience.
- Review Date: 9/16/2024

Il soggiorno è stato meraviglioso e qualsiasi piccolo problema è stato valutato dall' host per futuri miglioramenti. La natura vince su tutto ed il tramonto dall'idromassaggio non ha rivali. Il posto è selvaggio ma nella casa hai tutte le comodità per sentirti a tuo agio. Anche in pieno agosto con 45 gradi il vento ti permettere di stare bene...e la notte è fresca. Io tornerei domani stesso e se volete staccare la spina state almeno 3 giorni...e lo spirito rinasce.
- Review Date: 8/25/2024

Awesome place! Will definitely be coming back. The best airbnb I’ve stayed at by far.
- Review Date: 8/24/2024

Great place for a quick get away. Peaceful, quiet , amazing for sunset and only a 15-20 minute drive to Pioneer Town, Joshua Tree etc. Would definitely stay again?
- Review Date: 8/8/2024

Lovely home with incredible ambiance and feng shui. Lovely private remote location. Great amenities. Minimal. Clean. Peaceful.
- Review Date: 8/5/2024

It was just what I needed. Peaceful and secluded, but not in the middle of no-where. At the end of a road with other houses on it (beware -- the last 10th of a mile is bumpy!!). I was there for a 4 day mental/emotional reset, and it had just the right vibe for that. The nearest market is about 6-7 miles away so make sure you pick up your groceries first. It was about 20-30 minutes to the trails in Joshua Tree National Park, depending on where you wanted to go. The bed was comfortable, the ac worked well, and the cowboy tub was great. Perfect for when it's 103 degrees. Jackrabbits, lizards, chipmunks and birds will keep you company.

Everything was good.

This is a great place to stay for 1 or 2 people for a couple of nights.

The Pause AM house served as a fantastic getaway for three nights. I would highly recommend the house to anyone looking for some peace & quiet while also being very close to the park & restaurants.

Great stay, wonderful little house with fantastic views and amenities. Felt at home and safe the entire time. Hosts are very quick to respond and the electric charger on the property is a game changer!
- Review Date: 5/15/2024

An absolute stunning stay with memories to last a lifetime. I booked this stay for my sister and I as apart of a sisters getaway and we were instantly taken back by the beautiful of this location just driving up the driveway. We watched the sunset in the hot tub while being surrounded by the beautiful desert oasis and clear starry night. We had the best nights rest in the cozy as can be bed. Everything was beautifully put together, the home was gorgeous in every detail. We woke up early to do yoga as the sun rose and enjoyed our coffee by the fire pit. I cannot say enough, book this stay…you will not stop reminiscing once you have.

Die Unterkunft ist ein Traum, alles war sehr sauber und wunderschön. Es wurde an wirklich alles gedacht. Es ist auch sehr privat und trotzdem sind noch häuser in der nähe, sodass man sich nicht komplett einsam fühlt. Wir werden aufjedenfall wiederkommen!

My husband and I made a last minute decision to stay in near Joshua tree and we were so happy the AM house was available!

Amazing place, great design. Pretty remote, only two other houses in view pretty far away. Good kitchen amenities. Super clean. Hot tub already hot and easy to use. Parking spot is a bit far from the house if you’re bringing a lot of stuff in it’s tricky, but isn’t a big deal. Overall very modern amazing place. Non instructive to the desert vibe.

Homestead Modern AM house is the perfect retreat for any one trying to reconnect with the world.

Absolutely loved our stay here. My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and this was the perfect getaway. Very private and peaceful and very well designed too. We loved all the amenities the BBQ, the cowboy tub and the hot tub too. Everything was very clean and organized. The directions were very clear on how to get there so we appreciated that very much. Perfect spot to get away and stargaze. Look forward to coming back in the future. ?

This place was amazing. Secluded with a beautiful landscape. Facing west, you can watch the sunset in the desert while sipping the drink of your choice. Even saw a rocket launch just after sunset. Thank you Homestead.
- Review Date: 9/20/2023

We loved the desert views and tranquility. The cowboy hot tub and AC helped to cool of us of from the extreme heat of the desert. Lots of critters outside too. We saw two black widows (they left us alone), a coyote, jackrabbits, a gopher snake, and tons of birds. That part made it feel like a real outdoor adventure!

We loved our stay in Yucca Valley. The house is perfect for everybody who loves to take a break from the stressful everyday life. There’s everything you need and we would love to come back!! ???

absolutely stunning location and viewpoint. Beautifully designed. There is both and indoor and outdoor shower but the indoor shower drainage is very shallow. When I stayed, the drain seemed to drain slowly and had to turn the water off every few minutes to avoid flooding
- Review Date: 8/18/2023

Exactly as described in the listing. I liked how remote and private the house was, but not so remote that it felt unsafe as a solo traveler. Thank you for having me and my dog, Sam!

- Review Date: 6/25/2023

I normally don’t write reviews but I need to leave one for this place. Truly such an incredible stay! It is so peaceful and secluded, there’s a few neighbors near by but far enough that you feel like you’re in total privacy. The location is so stunning with the most beautiful sunset and sunrise views. My husband and I stayed here for our three year anniversary and we couldn’t be happier, truly this place looks better than the photos and has everything you need. If we’re back in Joshua tree we will most definitely be going back here or to another homestead property. If you’re looking for a place in yucca/ Joshua tree area book this you will not regret it!

We had an incredible time at this beautiful property! The landscape was filled with plants and had good-sized Joshua trees in the distance, which could be enjoyed from all windows of the house and especially the hot tub. The property was in a private and quite location. Attention to detail was paid inside this home, it was very comfortable and felt like a luxury hotel. Thank you for such a peaceful and memorable experience!

We loved the tranquility and the relaxed home with pampered conveniences. V mellow, gorgeous views, privacy, and little details that created a luxurious stay. My fav were the coffee cups, from which we sipped the brew offering and, with a variety of seating, enjoyed the ample view of sun, moon, and Joshua trees.
- Review Date: 2/1/2023

Perched on the mountain side, I enjoyed coffee and wine at their respectable hours, watching the desert views in this beautiful and cozy neutral luxe home. This home inspired me to take a pause from the hustle and bustle of life, and I can't wait to come back.
- Review Date: 1/23/2023

Really beautiful place. There’s a washer and dryer which was great to use. 30 min drive to North Entrance of joshua tree. Great views for stars.
- Review Date: 1/1/2023

Was a great stay, had all the amenities and more! My husband and I utilized a few of their additional services they offer and it was the best! Directions getting to the location: I personally didn’t have any trouble with inaccurate directions while using my iPhone’s Apple Maps. It gave me 100% accurate directions. I’m not sure if overtime, the geographic location was able to update and pinpoint better digital directions, but I would still defer to homestead modern’s advisement of their directions just in case. Overall, it was a restful and quiet stay! And we hope to visit again!
- Review Date: 12/22/2022

Pause House: AM was exactly what I was looking for. Very private, gorgeous natural setting, perfect for some solitude! Loved the fir pit and hot tub. Home was very clean and well stocked. Host was extremely communicative and helpful. Highly recommended.

Perfect little getaway! Nestled in the side of a hill, we enjoyed A beautiful sunset with great panoramic views, and the night sky was even more impressive. Everything we wanted and more!
- Review Date: 10/1/2022

We had the best time staying at the space — amazing views, amenities and close enough to the main part of Joshua Tree but secluded enough for privacy.
- Review Date: 9/15/2022

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at Pause House AM. The home/property looked exactly like it did in the listing and everything we needed (from kitchen items to spa towels) was there for us. If we had any questions, the host was great about getting back to us promptly. It was extremely hot outside when we stayed at Pause House, but the AC worked well and the cowboy tub was perfect to cool down in after spending mornings at Joshua Tree National Park. Stargazing from the hot tub or rocking chairs by the fire was amazing too! I would definitely recommend staying here and only wish we could have stayed longer.
- Review Date: 9/7/2022

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. We celebrated our anniversary and chose this place based on the privacy it appeared to have and atmosphere it offered. The house is perfect for a romantic getaway. The attention to detail is the reason I would look to possibly rent from them again, but will be reluctant due to the price. The nightly rate was reasonable but once the cleaning fee and service fee is added, it becomes pretty steep and I am unsure of what the service fee entailed. Overall we enjoyed ourselves. I recommend bringing food to cook for your stay.

We loved our stay! The fire pit, grill, and cowboy pool were a huge plus. Get ready for the most beautiful sunsets. During our stay the air conditioner needed a filter change and a property manager was sent to the house immediately to fix it.

We really loved our stay here! I highly recommend taking advantage of both the tub and the hot tub outside. The kitchen is really well organized and has everything that you need. The bed is super comfortable as well, felt like sleeping on a cloud. The room also gets a really great amount of light during the day which makes it look fantastic! Thank you so much for hosting us, we can’t wait to come back. :-)

Absolutely an amazing home to stay in. Everything was clean and tidy and the response time is very quick if you have any questions or concerns. Definitely a great place to isolate and disconnect from the world and can’t wait to come back soon!
- Review Date: 7/13/2022

If you want an escape from the noise both figuratively and literally, this is the place for you. My wife and I noted several times how the literal quite of the desert helped us literally feel ourselves wind down. That further improved the whole relaxing nature the minimal home offered. You can drink coffee on a 65° morning in the summertime, drive to a breathtaking National park in 15 minutes, and gaze at the Milky Way from a hot tub in a single day. Like what?? This place is awesome. Highly recommend

Perfect romantic gettaway for two. Everything was clean, clear instructions, and such a relaxing environment.
- Review Date: 7/4/2022

The property is absolutely beautiful. It’s private, but not too far from everything. We absolutely loved being outside in the evenings. The outdoor shower was such a plus, and the space altogether was the perfect size for the two of us. We had some hiccups when we checked in that were quickly taken care of by the host. We really enjoyed our stay!
- Review Date: 6/30/2022

This place was just as it appeared in the listing. It was easy to find with the directions provided by the host. 4.9 rating because nothing I’m life is perfect.

This is the perfect desert getaway (especially if you plan on traveling with a furry friend)! We had the best weekend hiking nearby trails, enjoying unobstructed views of the desert skies, and enjoying the amazing amenities.

- Review Date: 6/21/2022

5 stars all around. I wish I could give it 10 stars. This is a place of dreams. Everything is so well thought out. In June we were able to sit outside in the bean bag loungers and enjoy the breeze until at least 1pm without the desert sun bearing down on us. Super close to everything and nothing at the same time which was a GOOD thing. Cooking was an ease as they provided more than your $2 salt and pepper shakers....paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, etc. I could go on and on about how much we loved it here. My husband and I can't wait to get back here or another Homestead Modern property in the near future.
- Review Date: 6/15/2022

Pause AM is a perfect getaway, we had an amazing time here. Hot tub and stargazing are the highlight of the trip. It was very peaceful and secluded. The host is very responsive. Highly recommended!
- Review Date: 5/20/2022

The Pause House provided a once in a life time moment for us during our stay. We felt very secluded as how we liked it to be and since the distance to the neighboring houses was great, we couldn’t see or hear them. The instructions for the location and amenities were thoroughly provided and they were clear. If you have a lot of luggage, hike from the car-hut to the house could be a little challenge however the provided off-road dolly makes it super easy. There were huge trash bins provided near the garage area and it comes with an electric EV charger. The view out the patio is just magnificent. Words cannot describe how beautiful it can be. The jacuzzi during sunset was truly amazing. I would love to comeback here.
- Review Date: 5/16/2022

- Review Date: 4/13/2022

We absolutely loved our stay. Such an amazing and unique rental situated in the pristine high desert. We felt close enough to so much as well. We spent a week in total here, which felt like the perfect amount of time. We spent three half days in Joshua Tree National Park, spent a day in Newport Beach, spent a day in Palm Springs, and took many trips to the Red Dog Saloon in Pioneertown (do yourself a favor and treat yourself to their tacos). We also interspersed relaxing at the Pause AM house in the hot tub, star gazing at night, and cooking on the grill. The washer and dryer was an amazing bonus and it made packing light easy to do. Our recommendation would be to rent a 4 wheel drive car. We had a 4Runner and it was perfect. This also made Joshua Tree more accessible. Catch as many sunsets as possible from the lounge cushions, take as many outdoor showers as possible, and enjoy the peace and quiet of the desert. Definitely an amazing place to collect your thoughts and escape for a bit.

We absolutely loved our stay at Pause AM! The property is beautiful, well-kept, and has such a calming and pleasing aesthetic. The location is perfectly balanced with easy access to town and the feeling of privacy and remoteness. We found a new favorite coffee spot (Joshua Tree Coffee) and breakfast place (Boo’s Bakery). The hot tub was so relaxing and perfectly suited for our unseasonably chilly stay. I really hope we travel cross country again and get to spend more quality time at Pause AM!

Absolutely stunning interior! Had all the amenities needed from if you wanted to have a stay at home meal/pop a bottle of wine, to a washer and dryer if you were staying an extended period of time and need to do laundry. It's a studio, not a one bedroom though for those of you who like to have your sleeping and living space separate! I will be back and look forward to seeing those magical stars again!

If you want an escape, but not be so far away from amenities, this is it. The peace and solitude are enhanced by the beautiful sunsets. Morning wildlife activities were a real treat to watch right outside.

Review Date: 11/28/2024

Easy check in and perfect amenities - hot tub / fire pit / outdoor shower and blankets made for an oasis of a getaway :))) Would note that GPS directions worked just fine for us !

Possibly the most incredible air bnb I’ve ever stayed in. The setting is obviously amazing but the interior is also beautiful and so tasteful!! Couldn’t recommend more!

Review Date: 11/25/2024

Beautiful airbnb! Spa was apparently broken before we got there however they were able to take care of it before we got there! Will definitely consider Homestead Modern again.

Review Date: 11/22/2024

Absolutely wonderful in every way!!!!

Review Date: 11/9/2024

Homestead’s Modern’s place was lovely! Super private but at the same time, very close to stores like walmart which makes it very convenient. Good amount of restaurants nearby as well!

Review Date: 10/17/2024

Il soggiorno è stato meraviglioso e qualsiasi piccolo problema è stato valutato dall' host per futuri miglioramenti. La natura vince su tutto ed il tramonto dall'idromassaggio non ha rivali. Il posto è selvaggio ma nella casa hai tutte le comodità per sentirti a tuo agio. Anche in pieno agosto con 45 gradi il vento ti permettere di stare bene...e la notte è fresca. Io tornerei domani stesso e se volete staccare la spina state almeno 3 giorni...e lo spirito rinasce.

It was just what I needed. Peaceful and secluded, but not in the middle of no-where. At the end of a road with other houses on it (beware -- the last 10th of a mile is bumpy!!). I was there for a 4 day mental/emotional reset, and it had just the right vibe for that. The nearest market is about 6-7 miles away so make sure you pick up your groceries first. It was about 20-30 minutes to the trails in Joshua Tree National Park, depending on where you wanted to go. The bed was comfortable, the ac worked well, and the cowboy tub was great. Perfect for when it's 103 degrees. Jackrabbits, lizards, chipmunks and birds will keep you company.

Review Date: 7/17/2024

The Pause AM house served as a fantastic getaway for three nights. I would highly recommend the house to anyone looking for some peace & quiet while also being very close to the park & restaurants.

Review Date: 5/27/2024

Great stay, wonderful little house with fantastic views and amenities. Felt at home and safe the entire time. Hosts are very quick to respond and the electric charger on the property is a game changer!

Review Date: 5/15/2024

An absolute stunning stay with memories to last a lifetime. I booked this stay for my sister and I as apart of a sisters getaway and we were instantly taken back by the beautiful of this location just driving up the driveway. We watched the sunset in the hot tub while being surrounded by the beautiful desert oasis and clear starry night. We had the best nights rest in the cozy as can be bed. Everything was beautifully put together, the home was gorgeous in every detail. We woke up early to do yoga as the sun rose and enjoyed our coffee by the fire pit. I cannot say enough, book this stay…you will not stop reminiscing once you have.

Die Unterkunft ist ein Traum, alles war sehr sauber und wunderschön. Es wurde an wirklich alles gedacht. Es ist auch sehr privat und trotzdem sind noch häuser in der nähe, sodass man sich nicht komplett einsam fühlt. Wir werden aufjedenfall wiederkommen!

Review Date: 4/25/2024

My husband and I made a last minute decision to stay in near Joshua tree and we were so happy the AM house was available! It met all of our needs including having everything we needed to make the perfect dinner for Valentine’s Day. The host was extremely quick and helpful with anything we needed. Definitely recommend!

Review Date: 2/18/2024

Amazing place, great design. Pretty remote, only two other houses in view pretty far away. Good kitchen amenities. Super clean. Hot tub already hot and easy to use. Parking spot is a bit far from the house if you’re bringing a lot of stuff in it’s tricky, but isn’t a big deal. Overall very modern amazing place. Non instructive to the desert vibe.

Review Date: 12/26/2023

Highly recommend, and I would definitely stay here again. The space was great, clean, and plenty of room for two people. It's a great location to get away, enjoy the stars, and experience Joshua Tree!

Review Date: 12/19/2023

Homestead Modern AM house is the perfect retreat for any one trying to reconnect with the world. Staring at the vast stars while laying in the hot tub has got to be one of the prettiest/ most relaxing moments. They have curated a beautiful home with all the necessities. Will recommend to friends and will keep coming back to stay!

Review Date: 12/11/2023

Absolutely loved our stay here. My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and this was the perfect getaway. Very private and peaceful and very well designed too. We loved all the amenities the BBQ, the cowboy tub and the hot tub too. Everything was very clean and organized. The directions were very clear on how to get there so we appreciated that very much. Perfect spot to get away and stargaze. Look forward to coming back in the future. ?

Review Date: 10/25/2023

A beautiful space in a beautiful location – would happily stay here again! Host was communicative and helpful, and the space is exactly as it's described in the listing. Really great stargazing opportunities literally right outside the doorstep. Solid place to get away. Book it!

Review Date: 10/13/2023

This place was amazing. Secluded with a beautiful landscape. Facing west, you can watch the sunset in the desert while sipping the drink of your choice. Even saw a rocket launch just after sunset. Thank you Homestead.

Review Date: 9/20/2023

We loved the desert views and tranquility. The cowboy hot tub and AC helped to cool of us of from the extreme heat of the desert. Lots of critters outside too. We saw two black widows (they left us alone), a coyote, jackrabbits, a gopher snake, and tons of birds. That part made it feel like a real outdoor adventure!

Review Date: 8/28/2023

We loved our stay in Yucca Valley. The house is perfect for everybody who loves to take a break from the stressful everyday life. There’s everything you need and we would love to come back!! ???

Review Date: 8/25/2023

absolutely stunning location and viewpoint. Beautifully designed. There is both and indoor and outdoor shower but the indoor shower drainage is very shallow. When I stayed, the drain seemed to drain slowly and had to turn the water off every few minutes to avoid flooding

Review Date: 8/18/2023

Exactly as described in the listing. I liked how remote and private the house was, but not so remote that it felt unsafe as a solo traveler. Thank you for having me and my dog, Sam!

Review Date: 7/8/2023

I normally don’t write reviews but I need to leave one for this place. Truly such an incredible stay! It is so peaceful and secluded, there’s a few neighbors near by but far enough that you feel like you’re in total privacy. The location is so stunning with the most beautiful sunset and sunrise views. My husband and I stayed here for our three year anniversary and we couldn’t be happier, truly this place looks better than the photos and has everything you need. If we’re back in Joshua tree we will most definitely be going back here or to another homestead property. If you’re looking for a place in yucca/ Joshua tree area book this you will not regret it!

Review Date: 6/22/2023

We had an incredible time at this beautiful property! The landscape was filled with plants and had good-sized Joshua trees in the distance, which could be enjoyed from all windows of the house and especially the hot tub. The property was in a private and quite location. Attention to detail was paid inside this home, it was very comfortable and felt like a luxury hotel. Thank you for such a peaceful and memorable experience!

Review Date: 3/21/2023

I loved my stay. Everything was very clean, in order, intuitive and organized. The location was perfect for me to reflect and relax with the beautiful desert scenery. I would love to come back to this location to stay again.

Review Date: 3/6/2023

We loved the tranquility and the relaxed home with pampered conveniences. V mellow, gorgeous views, privacy, and little details that created a luxurious stay. My fav were the coffee cups, from which we sipped the brew offering and, with a variety of seating, enjoyed the ample view of sun, moon, and Joshua trees.

Review Date: 2/1/2023

Perched on the mountain side, I enjoyed coffee and wine at their respectable hours, watching the desert views in this beautiful and cozy neutral luxe home. This home inspired me to take a pause from the hustle and bustle of life, and I can't wait to come back.

Review Date: 1/23/2023

Was a great stay, had all the amenities and more! My husband and I utilized a few of their additional services they offer and it was the best! Directions getting to the location: I personally didn’t have any trouble with inaccurate directions while using my iPhone’s Apple Maps. It gave me 100% accurate directions. I’m not sure if overtime, the geographic location was able to update and pinpoint better digital directions, but I would still defer to homestead modern’s advisement of their directions just in case. Overall, it was a restful and quiet stay! And we hope to visit again!

Review Date: 12/22/2022

Pause House: AM was exactly what I was looking for. Very private, gorgeous natural setting, perfect for some solitude! Loved the fir pit and hot tub. Home was very clean and well stocked. Host was extremely communicative and helpful. Highly recommended.

Review Date: 12/19/2022

If you’re looking for quiet and peaceful in a private setting, this is the place to stay. I can’t say anything bad about this property. It was absolutely beautiful. The perfect weekend getaway to escape the hustle. I will be back!

Review Date: 12/19/2022

This beautiful home was an absolute EXPERIENCE!! On top of the amazing design/decor, the location, and amenities, the host was very responsive and benign! The stars look amazing from this location if that's something you're interested in viewing! 10/10 would stay again!

Review Date: 11/17/2022

Amazing place run by exceptional people. Everything that we needed was there when we arrived and the house was very clean. Get ready for beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Highly recommend the jacuzzi while soaking in the view. Will be back soon.

Review Date: 10/22/2022

Can’t recommend enough! It just feels like home! The house has everything you need, perfect location and the magical desert vibe. Homestead is a great host, looking forward to our next stay.

Review Date: 10/20/2022

We had such a peaceful stay here. It was so comfortable and relaxing. We enjoyed all of the amenities available, including the cowboy pool, hot tub, and outdoor shower. The sunrises/sunsets were amazing. Super close to Joshua Tree National Park, as well as some great restaurants and local shops.

Review Date: 10/17/2022

We love our stay, very calm and peaceful perfect getaway from everything with your couple. My wife and I enjoy every minute. The house is super well equipped and organize. Highly recommend if you want to relax.

Review Date: 10/4/2022

My wife and I visited for our anniversary with our puppy. We had an incredible time. The remoteness of the home, and stylist design, was such a treat. Sunsets were amazing in the jacuzzi and by the fire.

Review Date: 10/4/2022

Perfect little getaway! Nestled in the side of a hill, we enjoyed A beautiful sunset with great panoramic views, and the night sky was even more impressive. Everything we wanted and more!

Review Date: 10/1/2022

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at Pause House AM. The home/property looked exactly like it did in the listing and everything we needed (from kitchen items to spa towels) was there for us. If we had any questions, the host was great about getting back to us promptly. It was extremely hot outside when we stayed at Pause House, but the AC worked well and the cowboy tub was perfect to cool down in after spending mornings at Joshua Tree National Park. Stargazing from the hot tub or rocking chairs by the fire was amazing too! I would definitely recommend staying here and only wish we could have stayed longer.

Review Date: 9/7/2022

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. We celebrated our anniversary and chose this place based on the privacy it appeared to have and atmosphere it offered. The house is perfect for a romantic getaway. The attention to detail is the reason I would look to possibly rent from them again, but will be reluctant due to the price. The nightly rate was reasonable but once the cleaning fee and service fee is added, it becomes pretty steep and I am unsure of what the service fee entailed. Overall we enjoyed ourselves. I recommend bringing food to cook for your stay.

Review Date: 8/29/2022

We loved our stay! The fire pit, grill, and cowboy pool were a huge plus. Get ready for the most beautiful sunsets. During our stay the air conditioner needed a filter change and a property manager was sent to the house immediately to fix it. Would highly recommended this place to anyone looking to find accommodation in Joshua tree!

Review Date: 8/7/2022

We really loved our stay here! I highly recommend taking advantage of both the tub and the hot tub outside. The kitchen is really well organized and has everything that you need. The bed is super comfortable as well, felt like sleeping on a cloud. The room also gets a really great amount of light during the day which makes it look fantastic! Thank you so much for hosting us, we can’t wait to come back. :-)

Review Date: 7/18/2022

Absolutely an amazing home to stay in. Everything was clean and tidy and the response time is very quick if you have any questions or concerns. Definitely a great place to isolate and disconnect from the world and can’t wait to come back soon!

Review Date: 7/13/2022

If you want an escape from the noise both figuratively and literally, this is the place for you. My wife and I noted several times how the literal quite of the desert helped us literally feel ourselves wind down. That further improved the whole relaxing nature the minimal home offered. You can drink coffee on a 65° morning in the summertime, drive to a breathtaking National park in 15 minutes, and gaze at the Milky Way from a hot tub in a single day. Like what?? This place is awesome. Highly recommend

Review Date: 7/9/2022

The property is absolutely beautiful. It’s private, but not too far from everything. We absolutely loved being outside in the evenings. The outdoor shower was such a plus, and the space altogether was the perfect size for the two of us. We had some hiccups when we checked in that were quickly taken care of by the host. We really enjoyed our stay!

Review Date: 6/30/2022

This is the perfect desert getaway (especially if you plan on traveling with a furry friend)! We had the best weekend hiking nearby trails, enjoying unobstructed views of the desert skies, and enjoying the amazing amenities.

Review Date: 6/22/2022

We loved staying here! It was very clean and just as pictured! We used all the amenities, loved the outdoor shower and cooling off in the cowboy tub! Can’t wait to stay here again soon.

Review Date: 6/21/2022

5 stars all around. I wish I could give it 10 stars. This is a place of dreams. Everything is so well thought out. In June we were able to sit outside in the bean bag loungers and enjoy the breeze until at least 1pm without the desert sun bearing down on us. Super close to everything and nothing at the same time which was a GOOD thing. Cooking was an ease as they provided more than your $2 salt and pepper shakers....paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, etc. I could go on and on about how much we loved it here. My husband and I can't wait to get back here or another Homestead Modern property in the near future.

Review Date: 6/15/2022

Absolutely loved the stay here. Design aesthetic was perfect! Such an amazingly unique property that is super comfortable and is well equipped. Will definitely return to stay here.

Review Date: 6/6/2022

Had a small problem with check in the code provided was incorrect but was immediately resolved with great communication from Homestead Modern. Overall was a really nice stay and vacation away from the NYC. The house was beautiful and it was a great birthday w my boyfriend :)

The PERFECT stay in Joshua tree. Pause House has everything needed to relax after a busy day at the park. Short drive to the national park and town. Host is very responsive. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area.

Review Date: 5/22/2022

This was the perfect stay in Joshua Tree! Located not far from town and all the shops and restaurants, but it would feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere. We hope to come back again!!

Review Date: 5/22/2022

Pause AM is a perfect getaway, we had an amazing time here. Hot tub and stargazing are the highlight of the trip. It was very peaceful and secluded. The host is very responsive. Highly recommended!

Review Date: 5/20/2022

The Pause House provided a once in a life time moment for us during our stay. We felt very secluded as how we liked it to be and since the distance to the neighboring houses was great, we couldn’t see or hear them. The instructions for the location and amenities were thoroughly provided and they were clear. If you have a lot of luggage, hike from the car-hut to the house could be a little challenge however the provided off-road dolly makes it super easy. There were huge trash bins provided near the garage area and it comes with an electric EV charger. The view out the patio is just magnificent. Words cannot describe how beautiful it can be. The jacuzzi during sunset was truly amazing. I would love to comeback here.

Review Date: 5/16/2022

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Pause House AM. A short drive away from Joshua Tree National Park and other site seeing in the area. Beautiful sunrises, sunsets, AND stargazing from this location. Would absolutely book again.

Review Date: 5/15/2022

Magical Experience just book it you won’t regret it not far from town! Loved the tiny night lights walking up to the property Super KUTE Great Job on the Design! Arigato Grazie Mahalo will be Back ??????????

Review Date: 4/21/2022

We absolutely loved our stay. Such an amazing and unique rental situated in the pristine high desert. We felt close enough to so much as well. We spent a week in total here, which felt like the perfect amount of time. We spent three half days in Joshua Tree National Park, spent a day in Newport Beach, spent a day in Palm Springs, and took many trips to the Red Dog Saloon in Pioneertown (do yourself a favor and treat yourself to their tacos). We also interspersed relaxing at the Pause AM house in the hot tub, star gazing at night, and cooking on the grill. The washer and dryer was an amazing bonus and it made packing light easy to do. Our recommendation would be to rent a 4 wheel drive car. We had a 4Runner and it was perfect. This also made Joshua Tree more accessible. Catch as many sunsets as possible from the lounge cushions, take as many outdoor showers as possible, and enjoy the peace and quiet of the desert. Definitely an amazing place to collect your thoughts and escape for a bit.

Review Date: 4/4/2022

It was such a memorable and incredible stay. I wished we stayed longer! We enjoyed the hot tub with its gorgeous view. Everything was perfect. Will definitely be back again!

Homestead Modern's AM House is ideal for a weekend getaway. Great design and location! Close enough to explore all the local sights while removed enough that you can disconnect.

Review Date: 3/24/2022

We absolutely loved our stay at Pause AM! The property is beautiful, well-kept, and has such a calming and pleasing aesthetic. The location is perfectly balanced with easy access to town and the feeling of privacy and remoteness. We found a new favorite coffee spot (Joshua Tree Coffee) and breakfast place (Boo’s Bakery). The hot tub was so relaxing and perfectly suited for our unseasonably chilly stay. I really hope we travel cross country again and get to spend more quality time at Pause AM!

Review Date: 3/1/2022

This place is AMAZING in every way. The design, the view, the seclusion... you can't beat it. And don't forget about the hot tub. My fiancé and I had a VERY relaxing getaway here for her birthday. This place is just perfect.

Awesome little getaway in the desert. The house is exactly as you see in the pictures, everything is so well designed and thought out. We had a great experience and we’d definitely go back.

Review Date: 2/11/2022

My husband, our dog and I had a wonderful 3 night stay. The space was clean, quiet and private with incredible views. We enjoyed the proximity to amenities in town as well as the national park. The hot tub was a peaceful and perfect way to wind down and take in the sunset after a day at the park. We plan to return since we had such a great time and loved the space and property!

Looking for a desert getaway but like comfort and style? This is the place for you! The house was perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and enjoyed all the amenities. Very clean and well thought out. No complaints at all.

Review Date: 1/25/2022

Amazing stay. Great communication. The place we stayed at is not what was listed, they were having some issues with their plumbing so they offered us another property, it was gorgeous. We kept in frequent contact, they were prompt with their messages, they're understanding and easy going. Highly recommend.

Review Date: 12/31/2021

I can't say enough good things. The absolute most relaxing stay ever! The coziest, modern space to unplug and reset. Distant enough from other neighbors too. I HIGHLY recommend booking a stay here. You'll leave feeling relaxed and inspired.

Review Date: 12/23/2021

Absolutely stunning interior! Had all the amenities needed from if you wanted to have a stay at home meal/pop a bottle of wine, to a washer and dryer if you were staying an extended period of time and need to do laundry. It's a studio, not a one bedroom though for those of you who like to have your sleeping and living space separate! I will be back and look forward to seeing those magical stars again!

Review Date: 12/11/2021

spent a week at pause house with my dog. the house is just as pictured, very comfortable. the kitchen is fully stocked. a great location, far enough away that you feel remote but less than 10 minutes to town. it was so quiet you could hear the birds' wings every time they flew by! the outdoor shower and hottub were nice features.

Review Date: 12/5/2021

The Pause House was a phenomenal getaway. The views were stunning and the house was beautifully designed. We loved sitting in the hot tub to watch the sun set! Our hosts were so efficient and easy to communicate with; we'd love to come back!
