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 everything at Atomic Ranch. 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.

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. It was exactly as described and not far outside of town. The surroundings and view of the mountains were stunning, the the hot tub during sunrise, sunset or while the stars were out were to die for! It is on a fairly bumpy, sand road, however, we rented a 4x4 truck and had a great time doing some daily “off-roading” - it’s important to note that the bumpy/sand road is really only about ten minutes worth of your drive. Google finds the property easy and the drive in from Palm Springs was seamless. We didn’t feel comfortable driving the road at night due to the ruts/lack of lighting, so we made sure to get home before sunset every night - which wasn’t a problem as there is no better place to watch it. We came in November and were treated to great weather while being unbothered by any insects or animals. The host was very responsive and the kitchen was well stocked, even with ice ready made and a brita filter. Highly recommend!

Very grateful to have experienced this beautiful city in this top of the line property! Check-in was extremely simple and direct. When entering the property, the first words that came to my mind was high quality and intimate. Very rare for a place to look even better than the pictures, and this is that place!The furniture was extremely comfortable and their entertainment system exceeded expectations! On top of that, the host was warm and responsive! The pool / spa area has an aura of elegance and fun, making for a truly magical experience during your stay. The host also referred us to a personal chef (Luciana) who was excellent in every sense of the word! The privacy and scenery of this location is unrivaled. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, look no further.

We had a wonderful stay at Atomic Ranch. The location/views are really breathtaking - honestly one of the best places we have ever stayed. It feels so remote and tranquil, but with a really high quality finish. We really appreciated all the tech (iPad, speaker system, projector etc); everything was super easy to use. The full kitchen set up is spot on; the most equipped kitchen I’ve ever used in an air b n b. We cooked each night and used the BBQ which was really nice. The hot tub, outdoor shower and fire pit were also lovely, especially on cooler nights. As others have mentioned, the road was a bit bumpy on the way in (we are from the UK so just not used to it!). But we read the host advice and we were prepared for it. We rented a truck and were pleased we did. You can’t have remote and tranquil without the remote roads! Homestead Modern were a great host, really responsive and helpful. We felt reassured owning that they were local and on hand should we have needed any support.

Beautiful experience. Loved the stay here with my wife and our little schnauzer! Homestead made our stay here very easy, communication was always proactive. (even preparing a doggy corner with beds n little dog bits.) Private, has panaramic views, with modern amenities. Absolutely THE best sunrise we've ever experienced! A great get away from the city, perfect sized for any couple. Definitely make the drive out in the day if u can. the last 1/4 mi is dirt and can be a little sketch at night. recommend factory ride height cars. we had a lil tiny mazda 3 and did fine in the day. but know that it can take up to 20-25 min at speed. def don't recommend taking ur porsche or whatever lowered sports coupe/sedan. Fridge takes a little while to get cold so plan ur meals accordingly! Whatever our questions, homestead was always quick, friendly, and professional. Would come back again! Thnx homestead!

We absolutely loved our stay at Atomic Ranch. Clean with beautiful decor. The views were amazing. Super remote location, which Is what we wanted. It is a long dirt path to reach the home with some bumps and ruts, but we were able to make It in a ford mustang with no issues. We just had to drive slow. Definitely recommend driving up in day light. Overall, we had a blast.

My wife and I were genuinely happy by the tranquil atmosphere during our stay. The unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape were simply mesmerizing. The house has everything you need and was very nice. The property featured a split-level pool, with one section designed as a spa and the other perfect for lounging. The breathtaking view from the pool area and deck enhanced our experience, making it exceptionally memorable and incredibly relaxing. The drive up to the property was a bit long, so my recommendation would be to bring everything you need, as you definitely won't want to leave once you're there. I would definitely return!

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights to experience Joshua tree and the desert. It was perfect from start to finish. The home is professionally managed and everything is clean, maintained, organized. Everything was easy to use and understand. The bed was amazing and the views of the desert were incredible. It’s peaceful and totally private. We would definitely return. Only point to know is that it is quite the trek on a very bumpy sandy road to reach the property. Don’t do it at night.

My wife and I’s stay at the Atomic Ranch was relaxing and needed. The drive to the property is VERY off the beaten path so plan accordingly because once you get there you won’t want to leave because of the property’s location. This clean and cozy home is the perfect size for the couple that wants to get away and have quality time together. The amenities such as the deck, hot tub, and pool were a great indulgence for spending hours of relaxation, with a spectacular 360 degree view of the valley and not a soul in site. The sunrises and sunsets are an unsaid main attraction of this property and well worth it. The operation of the home seemed intimidating at first, but the Homestead hosts gave such care in the step-by-step instructions, it was easy to get the hang of. We really appreciated the automated/networked functionality of the home, everything worked seamlessly. We would recommend this property for a secluded vacation that has luxury amenities that kept it simple.

The previous reviews and listing description for this property are totally accurate. I think this has been my best Airbnb stay so far - the place is very well maintained and outfitted. The surroundings are stunning! Nothing prepares you for the incredible feeling of being alone and surrounded by the vast desert landscape. The place was exactly as described - clean, contemporary, thoughtfully designed and comfortable. The drive up is best done before dark the first time - as previous reviews mentioned. We would definitely go back - hopefully for more time.

This was the dreamiest, most peaceful place I've ever stayed. We travel often and make sure to visit the Joshua Tree area around the same time every year (March/April); so it bears emphasizing that this was the most unforgettable stay I've had here – ever. The floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and position of the bed made waking up to the sunrise each morning absolutely breathtaking. The outdoor couch and fire pit area were perfect for morning coffee and sunset margaritas, and the layout chairs by the pool kept us in heaven throughout the day while reading books and enjoying the insane views. We also agreed that the Joshua Trees on this property (and on the way to the property) were even better than what you see inside the national park. The house is little further out of town, per se, but SO easy to get to and exactly what we wanted. The instructions were crystal clear and the Homestead Modern team was always on top of communication and just so incredibly kind. We will be back!

I've taken several similar trips to rentals in beautiful places, but this place is in a class by itself. The setting is incredibly beautiful, peaceful, and isolated. We didn't hear another thing the whole weekend, even the closest houses are out of view of one another. At night, the sky was an absolute light show. The house is full of modern amenities like remote control shades, great speakers, and a smart tv with a projector. Everything worked perfectly as described. On top of all that, the hosts were the most responsive hosts I've ever encountered. Communication was constant and always helpful from booking to checkout. Unreal. Arriving after dark was a little unnerving, the last few miles are a bumpy dirt road, but GPS was spot on. We never got turned around, and navigating in daytime is easy. Definitely recommend an SUV or a vehicle with some ground clearance just for peace of mind. I won't be looking for another AirBnB anytime soon. I'm just coming here.

Absolutely unforgettable! My husband & I had the pleasure of celebrating our 5th Wedding Anniversary here last week. We arrived on a Monday, everything was extremely easy to check in. By the time we were inside we checked out of reality and anything else from the outside world! ????The WiFi works perfectly, so you can of course do any work you need to do and watch any movie you haven’t seen on epic projector screen. Stay in bed as late as you’d like since all windows have screens and you can fully block out the Sun. We were having such a blast BBQ-ing & cooking, enjoying eating outside with THAT view! We cancelled our Dinner Reservations for the big night, and stayed in! The energy of this place is such a once in a life time, we didn’t want to leave. Nothing more intimate than cooking together, making cocktails & sitting in the hot tub looking at the stars. This place is sexy, chic, peaceful, romantic, relaxing, a full recharge. Shop ahead, clear your head. Enjoy the desert at this Ranch.

The house is super cozy and the giant projector tv is a great way to relax at night if you're not stargazing in the hot tub. Homestead Modern was super responsive to all questions we had during our stay. Make sure to leave the blinds open at night, so you wake you up to the incredible sunrise over the mountains. It's wild!

Breathtaking views! What a fabulous home to reconnect with nature, stargaze, and enjoying some peace and quite. Be sure to bring plenty of groceries and snacks, once you’re there you likely won’t want to leave. The space is clean, organized, has fantastic amenities, and the hosts are kind and responsive. We drove a small sedan and made it just fine, but if you have a truck or jeep, it would be better. Highly recommend arriving with some daylight, we made the drive after sunset and it was quite the adventure getting to the home in the dark.

Duuuuuude- this place was beyond magical. My wife and I stayed 4 days and we were both in awe of this little gem. How did the homeowners pack this much into a place that is completely off the grid? They thought of everything! Granted- if you need a store nearby or hate being completely alone this NOT the place for you. It is remote. But if you just want to enjoy solitude, nature, each other, incredible sunrises/ sunsets, chill to some good tunes in a hot tub overlooking a gorgeous vista…you’re Gucci. You will LOVE this place. We loved the place so much we didn’t even leave the property one day. Just soaked it all in. One tip- the listing says you can easily access the home with a 2 wheel drive vehicle. Technically this is true- but it should not be recommended. The road is full of ruts, rocks and very harsh bumps in the sand and dirt. We booked a BMW convertible and barely made it up there. Book a truck/jeep. But def book this place!!

We understand that the remoteness of our location might not be for everyone, but we are delighted that it resonated with you and provided the perfect setting for a peaceful retreat. Your description of chilling in the hot tub while enjoying the vista and soaking in the overall experience is exactly what we hope our guests will take away from their stay.We appreciate your feedback about the road conditions. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced with the accessibility. It's true that the road to our property is rustic, and we appreciate your honesty about the challenges it presented, especially with a 2-wheel drive vehicle. One of our wonderful team members often travels to and from the property in a Tesla sedan without much drama, but we value the comment nonetheless!

This place was epic to say the least. It's secluded, but not so remote that you feel far from civilization. The home had an easy check in/out process, everything you would need in the kitchen, comfortable bedding, and amazing views. The hosts were so friendly and very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. It's the perfect mix of luxury and rustic with modern touches and amenities. It's 10000% worth the money. Did I mention the views?

Really nice place in a very private, secluded location. Tons of amenities and an unbelievable view. Great pool and hot tub, amazing grill. Can get instacart so you can stock up on food with it leaving. Incredible movie / sound system and a guitar too! My only minus is the house has a bunch of human skull decor that feels like you’re in a horror movie a bit, haha. Can be a bit disturbing that far out in the desert alone. But I had a great time, and the hosts are very communicative and friendly.

We are so happy that you loved your stay here John. There are a lot of "ranch style" items at the house, but no human skulls, just a cattle skull the owner loves because of what it symbolizes! With that said, we removed one painting that could be startling for someone arriving at night at the ranch in hopes we don't scare anyone else in the future! To quote Georgia O'Keeffe "bones are as beautiful as anything I know. They are strangely more living than the animals walking around. The bones seem to cut sharply to the center of something that is keenly alive in the desert even though it is vast and empty and untouchable.“ For O’Keeffe, the pinnacles and hollows of the weathered cow’s skull were a powerful image of American strength at a time when depression, economic instability and drought were threatening to undermine the very essence of the nation. We love that imagery and hope others do too, and we will try to tell that story better so we don't scare future guests away :) We are excited to welcome you back soon, with some different artwork on the wall. Safe travels!

Our stay at Homestead Modern in Pioneertown was nothing short of magical. We travel frequently for work and find ourselves staying in Airbnb’s on a regular basis all around the country. Within the first few moments of arriving we instantly agreed it was our favorite Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in and we knew we would need to come back. The space is CLEAN and so well thought out. The kitchen is fully stocked allowing you to cook at any capacity. The amenities provided are off the charts. Everything they’ve done is very intentional and contributes to an amazing stay for their guests. Can’t recommend highly enough! We will be back!!
