-- 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 everything at Casa La Stella 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 this 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 w/ a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel w/ the goal of reversing the aging process.

Neighborhood

The 320-acre private community of Rock Reach is technically in the Town of Yucca Valley, but it feels like the middle of Joshua Tree National Park – without the crowds. Most of the landscape is an untouched wonderland of weathered boulders, pinon pines, desert oak and juniper trees.

Rock Reach provides the perfect blend of pristine desert and easy access to amenities in town. The West Entrance of Joshua Tree National Park is a 20-minute drive away, and the shops, restaurants, and things to do in Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree Village. A few of favorite spots in Joshua Tree Village include Space Cowboy Books, the World Famous Crochet Museum, and the Joshua Tree Saloon.

• Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum (20-minute drive) - As far from a stuffy gallery as you can imagine, this outdoor sculpture garden contains a unique collection of folk-art.
• The Integratron (20-minute drive) - New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.

Amazing stay Peaceful and private We hope to return
- Review Date: 9/24/2024

Overall the experience was great. The location with the boulders is beautiful. The house was clean and nice. There are a couple things in the house that would use with a bit of fixing up, but nothing too major. I would stay again.
- Review Date: 9/18/2024

This home was a beautiful oasis in the desert. Spectacular views no matter where you are on the property. Felt very at home and at peace during our stay. We can’t wait to go back and stay longer!
- Review Date: 9/10/2024

Another WONDERFUL, MAGICAL stay! This is our second time and definitely will not be our last! This is our favorite place to stay out of the many (including out-of-country) AirBnBs we've utilized over the years. Everything is always clean and neat and the decor is wonderfully Mexican and just beautiful. Can't wait for our next visit!
- Review Date: 7/17/2024

Amazing!

Awesome home!

Amazing taste in decorum.
- Review Date: 7/2/2024

I have no notes. Everything was great!
- Review Date: 6/24/2024

I couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay for a reset/relaxing vacation. I honestly thought the pictures were too good to be true but it is even better in person. I’d argue it is on the best piece of land in the neighborhood as it is private, and has a lot of scenery/huge boulders to look at. The home was extremely comfortable. The artwork everywhere meant it was never boring and always something cool to look at. Extremely clean and had everything I needed/forgot at home. I just can’t get over this place. Such a great home. I hope to visit again.
- Review Date: 6/14/2024

We stayed for two nights while on a California road trip (to be close to Joshua Tree) and the space was so unique! We really enjoyed spending time relaxing in the well appointed space after some long days and would definitely stay again just to enjoy the home and it’s amenities more.
- Review Date: 5/29/2024

My family and I loved this beautiful house and its surroundings! There were so many beautiful art pieces throughout the home. It was super clean, comfortable, and felt like home. The backyard and jacuzzi were awesome and we saw a lot of wild life, which was so cool. Would definitely recommend and book again.
- Review Date: 5/15/2024

Absolutely beautiful property. So unique. Nothing like that in Australia. Had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.
- Review Date: 4/26/2024

Peaceful stay! Beautiful home with lots to do
- Review Date: 4/7/2024

We had a wonderful stay. The host was very responsive and this is an absolutely Fabulous Property. Kudos to the interior decorator. We look forward to coming back. Thank you.
- Review Date: 4/6/2024

This Casa is absolutely delightful!! The themed artwork and aesthetic touches are so beautiful. As it was a bit chilly, we didn’t spend time in the back garden but it looks like the perfect place to relax and soak up the views. A lovely home stocked with everything you could need. The heating system is superb. Responsive host and well worth spending more than a night here. Highly recommended!
- Review Date: 4/4/2024

Great home with beautiful artwork throughout surrounded by wonderful scenery. Would stay again!
- Review Date: 4/3/2024

Very relaxing. Felt like home. We truly enjoyed our stay.
- Review Date: 3/26/2024

I have stayed in quite a few Airbnb’s, and this one was by far an exception in my mind. The unmatched tranquility and beauty of the nature and surrounding area elevates the spirit. The home had character and was very clean and safe. It’s also very close to some of the best dining, and most unique attractions in the area.
- Review Date: 3/21/2024

Thank you for the beautiful stay! The house was immaculate and everything was thought of. The Homestead folks were very responsive and welcoming! We will definitely be back! Thank you Thank you!

A spectator place! Unique/ art filled/ serene
- Review Date: 3/3/2024

Clean, artful, pristine setting to enjoy the desert! We had a fantastic stay and will certainly come back.
- Review Date: 2/25/2024

Exactly what we hoped for from a retreat away from the busy-ness of the Palm Springs area. Quiet and quaint and easy access to Joshua Tree. Very communicative and responsive team.
- Review Date: 2/20/2024

The perfect stay! This place had so much character without feeling too cluttered. Great location and amenities. Would absolutely come again.
- Review Date: 2/12/2024

We had a great experience with Homestead Modern and with the property itself. The pictures do not do it justice! The place was immaculately clean and every little detail was thought out, from the outdoor blankets, fully stocked kitchen utensils, to the large amount of quality ground coffee. For coffee heads, they got you covered with a drip coffee machine. They even have a cute set up for those who bring dogs! As many have mentioned, the art work is amazing! We spent some time walking around and admiring each piece. The true spectacle is when you walk in and see the massive boulders from the yard! The surroundings were quiet and felt private for the most part. The hot tub is next level! Of course outdoor towels were provided too. Would highly recommend and we would love to come back soon! Thank you for sharing your space with us!
- Review Date: 2/12/2024

Beautiful and peaceful with some much charm.
- Review Date: 2/9/2024

We loved our stay at this super cute house. It is very private and there is so much character! The beds were comfortable, everything was clean, the fireplace was a really nice touch, and hot tub was private and under the stars. Will definitely come back!
- Review Date: 1/31/2024

Such a wonderful place to stay! Can’t wait to return!
- Review Date: 1/26/2024

This place is a jewel in the desert. If the boulders and desert plants are what you come to see in the Joshua Tree area, this has it all in the yards. Gives an authentic flare for the stay.
- Review Date: 1/13/2024

so beautiful!!!!
- Review Date: 1/8/2024

This place is incredible. The surroundings were so magical and serene. The artwork throughout the home is amazing and lends to such a peaceful energy. The hot tub and outdoor fireplace are a great touch. The home was clean and beds were comfortable. I have stayed in a lot of Airbnbs and this may be the best one yet. If you are thinking about booking with them you should.
- Review Date: 1/2/2024

Fabulous spot! Loved all the artwork in the house and the outdoor space. We would definitely return!

- Review Date: 12/22/2023

We had an absolutely incredible stay. The house is filled with such beautiful artwork and decor. The natural scenery was perfect, with lovely boulders right in the backyard. A superb place to relax in the jacuzzi and stargaze. The hosts were very responsive and amenable. I definitely recommend this to anyone and I intend to return again soon.
- Review Date: 12/15/2023

Spent a few days here with friends on a birthday trip. Loved the home and how well maintained it is. Host was very responsive to all questions I had prior to trip. Hot tub was great for the cold mornings and nights. Would love to visit again.
- Review Date: 11/5/2023

We LOVED our stay! The location was so perfect and we just adored all of the art throughout. It just made us so happy! We didn’t s lot of time sight seeing that when we left we wished we had spent more time just at the property! Can’t wait to come back again
- Review Date: 11/4/2023

If I could give this property and host 100 stars I would. I am a former superhost and my Airbnb was meticulously cleaned and decorated… or so I thought!! This place is on truly another level. First, the pictures do not do it justice. Each room had stunning pieces of Mexican pottery and art. My best friend and I wandered around and made a list of which 5 pieces we would own in a dream world. I honestly can’t even believe the host risks having these pieces in the house, but we are grateful! Second, the location itself is beyond. Sitting in the hot tub at night watching the stars!! And the fireplace set into the boulders. Dreamy. I’ve actually never written this much in a review but I can’t stop! The hosts were so kind and responsive and left us a much needed bottle of tequila. We were just packing up (a couple of min late) when the cleaners arrived and they were also lovely and accommodating. I’m moving back to NYC or I would plan to visit many more times.

Hello, Let me just say this place is magical and I would have put 5 stars on this beautiful place with an unbeatable view except 2 amenities made it unusable at night. The BBQ was not working and the Ceiling lights on the patio made it unsafe at night. I was truly looking forward to spending dinner with my family coming from France but couldn`t do it that night... I must express my dissatisfaction with the small refund amount and the overall resolution offered by the owner. As a guest, I had certain expectations for my stay, and unfortunately, those expectations were not fully met. While I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, I believe that a better job could have been done in addressing the issues I encountered during my stay.

Hi Johann, We take your comments seriously and have investigated the issues you mentioned. Our team member was promptly dispatched to verify the BBQ, and we are pleased to report that it was fully operational. We also appreciate your understanding of having user issues and we genuinely regret any inconvenience caused. We did provide a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill to acknowledge the inconvenience you experienced. Our decision was made with fairness in mind, considering the nature of the issues and the actions taken to address them but you pushed for bigger payout we were not able to provide, considering the circumstances.

The pictures don’t do the place justice. This was a 10/10 stay and me and my partner didn’t want to leave at the end of our stay. It’s extremely secluded and the boulders make it feel like you’re in a magical space. Homestead was extremely responsive to all of our needs and everything inside the house (especially the master bedroom) was beautiful from the artwork to the cozy build of the actual house itself. The fireplace, hot tub, and easy music plug + play were our favorite features.

Great communication and instructions, place as described. The Pool/hotub is a hot tub, I didn't get a chance to use it since the weather was so hot, but it was in a great location. Would love to return during cooler weather. Beautiful scenery and stars and wildlife! Would def return in the future! there's also markets near by and a great sushi restaurant called Aki

Wow, what a hidden gem! The peaceful and quiet atmosphere of this place was perfect for a relaxing getaway. The house's artistic touches added a unique charm, and it was spotlessly clean – kudos to the hosts for maintaining it so well!

Beautiful place nestled in the desert mountains. The description and pictures were spot on and the host thought of everything for our stay. If you are looking for a secluded place that not too far from civilization…this is it. All of the artwork and decorations were a nice touch too. The beds were super comfortable and each room has so many windows that you can enjoy the property from just about anywhere in the home as well. Thank you for making our stay special.

One of the best airbnbs I have stayed in. Beautiful place in the middle of nowhere. Very private and secluded and peaceful. Perfect place to escape and unwind. The backyard is dream like. Sit down by the fireplace and stargaze. 100% recommend to anyone who is planning to visit Joshua Tree National Park.

Thank you!!! This was such an amazing and peaceful escape from everyday life. The area is beautiful and the house is both private and close to activities.

Wonderful, we will be back!!

- Review Date: 5/22/2023

Howdy Robin! So happy to hear you had a great trip and enjoyed the location! Casa La Stella is known for its charm and lovely location. However, the remoteness of the desert occasionally stresses the limits of technology. Hopefully the scenic views were far more enticing than Netflix. We greatly appreciate your feedback and your valued presence as our guest. Thanks!

I came to Casa Stells as a cathartic pilgrimage. I could not have chosen a mote perfect place. Stella far exceeded my expectations. so peaceful, surrounded by purposeful art pieces in a warm and enviting space. outside is any nature lovers dream. whether you are relaxing beneath the stars or traversing the many boulder formations, your stay here will be first rate. The host was the most thoughtful and communicative I have ever had. If I could rate more than 5 stars I surely would!

The most breathtaking views from every part of the property…we even got to experience some of the local wildlife! This place was secluded and peaceful. The art is really awesome. The attention to detail was on point, we felt like we were right at home. Very convenient location…so much within 15-20 mins (attractions and food). Stay here, you won’t regret your choice.

We had a wonderful time at Homestead Modern’s beautiful property! We were looking for somewhere that felt private and had a nice view and this home delivered! We had everything we needed for our stay and the home was very clean! We also loved the beds, pillows, and towels! They were all incredibly comfy and soft. The hot tub was excellent as well - very clean, hot, and in a great spot for stargazing! Our group would absolutely return to this property!

Great house located on a lot that is surrounded by beautiful desert landscape. It is very private and peaceful. Hot tub is great. Super clean, well organized. Just great! Definitely worth it!!
- Review Date: 3/16/2023

Beautiful property and the art throughout the house (and at the driveway end!) created a really unique and welcoming vibe. The property is really easy access to town for restaurants and shopping, and convenient access to one of the Park's main entrances. Loved the well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, wonderful outdoor living spaces, and the outdoor fireplace as well. Homestead also connected us to a really great massage therapist and her colleague who came to the house, which was a wonderful activity during our stay. We stayed in cold weather, and the only negative was that the type of hard surfaces in the house (floors, walls) that make it awesome in summer are chilly in winter so pack slippers/house shoes. The hot tub looked great, and was kept warm it looked, but is set away from the house so with the weather, we ended up not using it. Next time though, as we'd definitely stay again!
- Review Date: 3/16/2023

Thank you for staying with us! we indeed have had a cold winter. Thank you for your note and we are ordering slippers for future guests so hopefully this will assist with any future cold night and cold feet!

This is the second time that I stayed at this property. My granddaughter loved the art, my grandson loved climbing on the boulders, my son enjoyed cooking on the grill and I enjoyed watching the sunrise while drinking coffee and watching a covey of quail feeding in the backyard. It’s a beautiful place.

- Review Date: 1/6/2023

Great location, can’t beat the boulders and scenery on the property. Super clean, and awesome decor in the house. The hot tub and views were amazing, especially in the chilly winter air. You’re central to all Joshua tree has to offer but away enough for peace and quiet. We’re a family of four with two younger kids and they had a blast adventuring around the surrounding rocks. The host was responsive to anything and everything. Definitely will try to book this spot for future trips. One thing is the little touches. A cool guest book, a tequila bottle gift, suitcase stands, quirky cups and plates and kitchen ware, blankets for outdoors, and so on and so forth. Details like that go along way. The only negative i can come up with is that the master bedroom bed was not a king and not very comfortable for me. Obviously that can be subjective. Overall, a great place and a great time.

Casa de Stella is exactly as it looks on the online photos, only better. It is situated down a long decomposed granite/dirt road and nestled amongst billowy round boulders, cacti, Joshua Tree, Acacia and other native plants. In the morning, I would sit on the little bench in the front to drink my coffee and enjoy the birdsong. The rising sun painted the boulders across the little washed out ravine shades of coral and gold. The local wildlife and fauna was fabulous to witness. We were visited by a covey of Quail, Big eared Jackrabbits, Hummingbirds, Red-tailed Hawks, lizards and down the road we pulled the car over to meet a desert tortoise. The most exciting thing was to see a lone Coyote hunting for breakfast at daybreak. The interior of Casa de Stella is filled with old artistic and spiritual energy, indigenous art and simple furnishings. The kitchen is well accommodated and the beds were neither soft nor hard. We immediately felt comfortable and excited about discovering all of the art at home on the walls, nooks and shelves. We were far enough away from the traffic and shops yet close enough to enjoy the local fare. Two local establishments stood out far above all others. The first is La Copine on Old Woman Springs Rd. We stopped for lunch and wine just as we arrived in town. It was a warm but not hot day and we chose to sit outside under the umbrellas. The food was outstanding, Tuna Insulate, fried eggplant with tomato chutney and Ceviche paired well with a cool vin-rouge. The other is the kind of bakery that you want within walking distance of your house. But it isn't so you must go while in town. I owned my own bakery for 12 years and have been making croissants, bread and other seasonal goods for a long, long time. Let's just say that Luna Sourdough is crafting some of the best sourdough croissants I've had the pleasure of meeting. On the way out to Joshua Tree National Park, we stopped by for the last time. I picked up a Ciabatta sandwich with prosciutto, goat cheese, fig jam and arugula....outstanding! The owners and staff (Julia, Ian, Madeline and Maddy) are young, hardworking and lovely! It was an absolute pleasure. They are located on 29 Palms Highway in Yucca Valley. All and all, Casa de Stella was a tonic to our weary souls. We shall return!

- Review Date: 8/11/2022

Beautiful. Serene. Extraordinary. Necessary. Impeccable attention to detail including the greeting left for us at the front door to the bright artwork delicately placed around the home. So much to look at and admire! The house gets a lot of sunlight and has such a warm, cozy vibe throughout. The road leading to the driveway is a bumpy one and quite a ways from the main road which is great for those seeking silence. You can’t hear any vehicles from the house. It’s just you, the quail family, the jackrabbits, bunnies and coyote! Our only complaint was how slow the wifi speed was. The router is located in the garage which was locked so we couldn’t reset it or anything. However, HM responded swiftly and kindly and sent someone out right away to assist. He came with a hot spot and stayed to troubleshoot until we were satisfied. We got the speed ramped up just enough to get some work done online. HM goes above and beyond from our experience with them thus far! Ultimately we extended our stay and are so happy that we did. There is all that you need to eat, bbq, mix drinks, etc. such as cooking oil, foil, pots/pans, coffee and such an artful array of coffee mugs and glassware! Oh, and the hot tub…. you must watch the night sky from there. It’s just beautiful and set up cozily next to the boulders in the backyard in a private space. It’s located on the other side of the fire pit area which is also nestled up to the boulders. We had such an amazing stay with the rain, thunderstorms and the biggest, brightest rainbow we’ve ever seen! Enjoy your stay. :)

The kitchen had everything we needed to make a family dinner which was very appreciated. Overall would recommend this home to anyone visiting Joshua Tree.

Great, unique place to spend a weekend. The property is magnificent, with a huge pile of boulders next to the fire pit behind the house and a hot tub to enjoy the desert night under the stars. Fun decorating theme throughout the home, with lots of little details and really nice art. Three big bedrooms, giant circular driveway. The whole property is very private - you can see the neighbors' houses but you can't hear them. Private enough to feel alone. The Host was very communicative and quick to address concerns. Highly recommended.
- Review Date: 6/16/2022

Casa La Stella is a piece of functional art that seems to exist like a mirage, shimmering elusively just beyond the blurred heat waves of reality. We absolutely loved this incredibly private oasis, surrounded by vibrant desert flora, resident jack rabbits, abundant bird life that we communed with from the shaded patio. It's like the night sky cradles Casa La Stella protectively, and anyone lucky enough to be there. We sat by the adobe hearth, flames flickering, and watched the sky. One could easily spend a weekend hiking the nearby proper national park trails and returning nightly to this beautiful spot - however, we didn't want to leave for even a minute. It might be on planet earth, but Casa La Stella is its own little world, a shining hidden desert gem of the rarest quality, not to be missed.

If you are looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay in a beautiful home, this is the place. This home met all of our expectations and more! We could not get over the beautiful decor, lovely views, and family areas in which we played games, had a family dinner and enjoyed Yucca Valley's beautiful weather and nature. The home's backyard was perfect, equipped with a fireplace that was incredible during the star gaze portion of the trip. Homestead Modern accommodated our needs, and the communication to book, guidance for the home, and tour of Yucca Valley was simple and perfect. I will be staying here again and highly recommend this location!

This is an ideal place if you want to get away from the city life. It's quiet and the area is spacious enough to have your own privacy. We love the interior especially the decoration. The rooms are accommodating and the beds were comfy. The backyard was the best part of the house. We loved the back drop, it reminds me of the Jumbo Rock campground. The fire pit was warm enough for us to hang out through out the night. The host was very responsive and willing to answer any questions I have. 10/10 would come here again!

La Stella hatten wir ursprünglich mit 2 Tagen Vorlauf gebucht, wurden am Tag der Anreise informiert, dass das La Stella noch renoviert wird. Uns wurde eine ersatzunterkunft, die allerdings aus zwei getrennten Häusern bestand , zur Verfügung gestellt. Wir haben aber nur eines genutzt da wir als Familien mit kleinen Kindern unterwegs waren. Die Unterkunft an sich war fantastisch , brandneu, sehr modern , extrem sauber und top ausgetattet, bis auf das Internet. Die Lage War nicht was wir uns gewünscht hatten, da wir uns ein einsames Häuschen gewünscht hatten und stattdessen an einer Hauptstraße direkt neben einer lauten Bar die bis in die Nacht Partymusik gespielt hat, untergebracht waren. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war sehr gut. Antworten kamen immer prompt und waren allesamt hilfsbereit.

Another WONDERFUL, MAGICAL stay! This is our second time and definitely will not be our last! This is our favorite place to stay out of the many (including out-of-country) AirBnBs we've utilized over the years. Everything is always clean and neat and the decor is wonderfully Mexican and just beautiful. Can't wait for our next visit!

Review Date: 7/17/2024

I couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay for a reset/relaxing vacation. I honestly thought the pictures were too good to be true but it is even better in person. I’d argue it is on the best piece of land in the neighborhood as it is private, and has a lot of scenery/huge boulders to look at. The home was extremely comfortable. The artwork everywhere meant it was never boring and always something cool to look at. Extremely clean and had everything I needed/forgot at home. I just can’t get over this place. Such a great home. I hope to visit again.

We stayed for two nights while on a California road trip (to be close to Joshua Tree) and the space was so unique! We really enjoyed spending time relaxing in the well appointed space after some long days and would definitely stay again just to enjoy the home and it’s amenities more.

My family and I loved this beautiful house and its surroundings! There were so many beautiful art pieces throughout the home. It was super clean, comfortable, and felt like home.

This Casa is absolutely delightful!! The themed artwork and aesthetic touches are so beautiful. As it was a bit chilly, we didn’t spend time in the back garden but it looks like the perfect place to relax and soak up the views. A lovely home stocked with everything you could need. The heating system is superb. Responsive host and well worth spending more than a night here. Highly recommended!

I have stayed in quite a few Airbnb’s, and this one was by far an exception in my mind. The unmatched tranquility and beauty of the nature and surrounding area elevates the spirit.

We had a great experience with Homestead Modern and with the property itself. The pictures do not do it justice! The place was immaculately clean and every little detail was thought out, from the outdoor blankets, fully stocked kitchen utensils, to the large amount of quality ground coffee. For coffee heads, they got you covered with a drip coffee machine. They even have a cute set up for those who bring dogs! As many have mentioned, the art work is amazing! We spent some time walking around and admiring each piece. The true spectacle is when you walk in and see the massive boulders from the yard! The surroundings were quiet and felt private for the most part. The hot tub is next level! Of course outdoor towels were provided too. Would highly recommend and we would love to come back soon! Thank you for sharing your space with us!

This place is a jewel in the desert. If the boulders and desert plants are what you come to see in the Joshua Tree area, this has it all in the yards. Gives an authentic flare for the stay.

This place is incredible. The surroundings were so magical and serene. The artwork throughout the home is amazing and lends to such a peaceful energy. The hot tub and outdoor fireplace are a great touch. The home was clean and beds were comfortable. I have stayed in a lot of Airbnbs and this may be the best one yet. If you are thinking about booking with them you should.

If I could give this property and host 100 stars I would. I am a former superhost and my Airbnb was meticulously cleaned and decorated… or so I thought!! This place is on truly another level. First, the pictures do not do it justice. Each room had stunning pieces of Mexican pottery and art. My best friend and I wandered around and made a list of which 5 pieces we would own in a dream world. I honestly can’t even believe the host risks having these pieces in the house, but we are grateful! Second, the location itself is beyond. Sitting in the hot tub at night watching the stars!! And the fireplace set into the boulders. Dreamy. I’ve actually never written this much in a review but I can’t stop! The hosts were so kind and responsive and left us a much needed bottle of tequila. We were just packing up (a couple of min late) when the cleaners arrived and they were also lovely and accommodating. I’m moving back to NYC or I would plan to visit many more times.

Hello, Let me just say this place is magical and I would have put 5 stars on this beautiful place with an unbeatable view except 2 amenities made it unusable at night. The BBQ was not working and the Ceiling lights on the patio made it unsafe at night. I was truly looking forward to spending dinner with my family coming from France but couldn`t do it that night... I must express my dissatisfaction with the small refund amount and the overall resolution offered by the owner. As a guest, I had certain expectations for my stay, and unfortunately, those expectations were not fully met. While I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, I believe that a better job could have been done in addressing the issues I encountered during my stay.

The pictures don’t do the place justice. This was a 10/10 stay and me and my partner didn’t want to leave at the end of our stay. It’s extremely secluded and the boulders make it feel like you’re in a magical space. Homestead was extremely responsive to all of our needs and everything inside the house (especially the master bedroom) was beautiful from the artwork to the cozy build of the actual house itself. The fireplace, hot tub, and easy music plug + play were our favorite features.

This home is beautiful and immaculate. Private, yet close to everything. Hot tub was pristine. Starry skies at night, coyotes in the morning... such an awesome retreat! I'd definitely stay again.

Great communication and instructions, place as described. The Pool/hotub is a hot tub, I didn't get a chance to use it since the weather was so hot, but it was in a great location. Would love to return during cooler weather. Beautiful scenery and stars and wildlife! Would def return in the future! there's also markets near by and a great sushi restaurant called Aki

Wow, what a hidden gem! The peaceful and quiet atmosphere of this place was perfect for a relaxing getaway. The house's artistic touches added a unique charm, and it was spotlessly clean – kudos to the hosts for maintaining it so well! Watching the mesmerizing sky and sunset made the experience truly magical. Highly recommend everyone to visit this haven at least once in their lifetime for an unforgettable escape into serenity.

Beautiful place nestled in the desert mountains. The description and pictures were spot on and the host thought of everything for our stay. If you are looking for a secluded place that not too far from civilization…this is it. All of the artwork and decorations were a nice touch too. The beds were super comfortable and each room has so many windows that you can enjoy the property from just about anywhere in the home as well. Thank you for making our stay special.

One of the best airbnbs I have stayed in. Beautiful place in the middle of nowhere. Very private and secluded and peaceful. Perfect place to escape and unwind. The backyard is dream like. Sit down by the fireplace and stargaze. 100% recommend to anyone who is planning to visit Joshua Tree National Park.

Review Date: 6/19/2023

Thank you!!! This was such an amazing and peaceful escape from everyday life. The area is beautiful and the house is both private and close to activities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be recommending this Airbnb to all of our friends and family. The host was very communicative in terms of instructions and recommendations m. Wonderful, we will be back!!

This dessert gem BLEW OUR MINDS!!! It was spectacular- charming, super comfy beds, breath taking views, and loaded with extras. The perfect location to both Palm Spring’s and Joshua Tree. So beautiful we didn’t want to leave

Very nice location and decent house. Had a WiFi issue but we’re aware that was a potential problem in the area. All around we had a great trip and can’t ask for more than that.

Review Date: 5/22/2023

I came to Casa Stells as a cathartic pilgrimage. I could not have chosen a mote perfect place. Stella far exceeded my expectations. so peaceful, surrounded by purposeful art pieces in a warm and enviting space. outside is any nature lovers dream. whether you are relaxing beneath the stars or traversing the many boulder formations, your stay here will be first rate. The host was the most thoughtful and communicative I have ever had. If I could rate more than 5 stars I surely would!

Review Date: 4/24/2023

The most breathtaking views from every part of the property…we even got to experience some of the local wildlife! This place was secluded and peaceful. The art is really awesome. The attention to detail was on point, we felt like we were right at home. Very convenient location…so much within 15-20 mins (attractions and food). Stay here, you won’t regret your choice.

Très belle maison, très agréable, aussi bien à l’intérieur qu’à l’extérieur, nous avons particulièrement apprécié la literie, le jacuzzi, le feu à gaz a l’extérieur. L’endroit est extraordinaire. Très bon séjour

Went to Casa Stella for my birthday and it was beautiful! The hot tub was awesome at night to relax and look at the stars. The fire pit was so cool but we couldn’t use it because it was so windy. Very lovely home and will be returning!!

Review Date: 4/3/2023

We had a wonderful time at Homestead Modern’s beautiful property! We were looking for somewhere that felt private and had a nice view and this home delivered! We had everything we needed for our stay and the home was very clean! We also loved the beds, pillows, and towels! They were all incredibly comfy and soft. The hot tub was excellent as well - very clean, hot, and in a great spot for stargazing! Our group would absolutely return to this property!

Review Date: 3/26/2023

Great house located on a lot that is surrounded by beautiful desert landscape. It is very private and peaceful. Hot tub is great. Super clean, well organized. Just great! Definitely worth it!!

Review Date: 3/16/2023

Beautiful property and the art throughout the house (and at the driveway end!) created a really unique and welcoming vibe. The property is really easy access to town for restaurants and shopping, and convenient access to one of the Park's main entrances. Loved the well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, wonderful outdoor living spaces, and the outdoor fireplace as well. Homestead also connected us to a really great massage therapist and her colleague who came to the house, which was a wonderful activity during our stay. We stayed in cold weather, and the only negative was that the type of hard surfaces in the house (floors, walls) that make it awesome in summer are chilly in winter so pack slippers/house shoes. The hot tub looked great, and was kept warm it looked, but is set away from the house so with the weather, we ended up not using it. Next time though, as we'd definitely stay again!

Review Date: 3/16/2023

Due to the circumstances surrounding our trip we were only able to spend 12 hours at the Airbnb, but it was absolutely gorgeous. The property was absolutely stunning, picture perfect. Would definitely come back!

Review Date: 3/14/2023

Excellent property, great hosts. This is how an airbnb should be! Very responsive communication, clear instructions, and they made it easy to solve any small issues that arose. Will stay again, 100%!

A perfectly curated homestead in the dessert! This home was the most thoughtfully designed Airbnb me and all of my friends have stayed in. Great location with amazing rock formations all around the property. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful home and experience. A gem of an experience. Thank you to the host, they went above and beyond in curating a beautiful home and experience. Love all the art and ease of communication.

Stunning place to stay close to Joshua Tree, we had a wonderful weekend! The view from the outdoor spa is gorgeous and the house was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We appreciated the big kitchen with everything we needed too!

Review Date: 1/27/2023

This is the second time that I stayed at this property. My granddaughter loved the art, my grandson loved climbing on the boulders, my son enjoyed cooking on the grill and I enjoyed watching the sunrise while drinking coffee and watching a covey of quail feeding in the backyard. It’s a beautiful place.

Review Date: 1/20/2023

Great location, can’t beat the boulders and scenery on the property. Super clean, and awesome decor in the house. The hot tub and views were amazing, especially in the chilly winter air. You’re central to all Joshua tree has to offer but away enough for peace and quiet. We’re a family of four with two younger kids and they had a blast adventuring around the surrounding rocks. The host was responsive to anything and everything. Definitely will try to book this spot for future trips. One thing is the little touches. A cool guest book, a tequila bottle gift, suitcase stands, quirky cups and plates and kitchen ware, blankets for outdoors, and so on and so forth. Details like that go along way. The only negative i can come up with is that the master bedroom bed was not a king and not very comfortable for me. Obviously that can be subjective. Overall, a great place and a great time.

Review Date: 1/5/2023

Probably the only Airbnb I would highly recommend to close family and friends. Staying in Yucca Valley at Homestead Modern's house was such a great experience. I enjoyed getting away from the Bay and relaxing. loved the kitchen and all the cute household cups, utensils, plates. I would definitely return.

Review Date: 12/21/2022

We loved our stay here! Absolutely beautiful home in a beautiful setting. Our family was obsessed with the incredible Mexican art throughout the home. Truly a wonderful stay here.

Beautiful property. Don’t expect to have cell service or Wi-Fi. Great place to unwind and relax away from it all.

Review Date: 11/11/2022

The property is stunning, especially with all the beautiful boulders. We had such a nice and comfortable stay. The beds are comfy and the hot tub was soothing! The house is clean, open, well maintained, and beautifully decorated. The host was super responsive and helpful. The check out list was extremely reasonable. We would love to return.

Review Date: 11/3/2022

I almost don't want to write too much here (selfishly). It's a great home with everything we needed. If you're looking for solitude, nature, and Mexican art, this is the one for you.

Review Date: 10/31/2022

The house was a private getaway with Joshua Trees and boulders surrounding the property. Hottub was clean and working great, we loved the artwork and back patio to relax. Thanks for a great weekend we slept great in the nice beds!

Casa de Stella is exactly as it looks on the online photos, only better. It is situated down a long decomposed granite/dirt road and nestled amongst billowy round boulders, cacti, Joshua Tree, Acacia and other native plants. In the morning, I would sit on the little bench in the front to drink my coffee and enjoy the birdsong. The rising sun painted the boulders across the little washed out ravine shades of coral and gold. The local wildlife and fauna was fabulous to witness. We were visited by a covey of Quail, Big eared Jackrabbits, Hummingbirds, Red-tailed Hawks, lizards and down the road we pulled the car over to meet a desert tortoise. The most exciting thing was to see a lone Coyote hunting for breakfast at daybreak. The interior of Casa de Stella is filled with old artistic and spiritual energy, indigenous art and simple furnishings. The kitchen is well accommodated and the beds were neither soft nor hard. We immediately felt comfortable and excited about discovering all of the art at home on the walls, nooks and shelves. We were far enough away from the traffic and shops yet close enough to enjoy the local fare. Two local establishments stood out far above all others. The first is La Copine on Old Woman Springs Rd. We stopped for lunch and wine just as we arrived in town. It was a warm but not hot day and we chose to sit outside under the umbrellas. The food was outstanding, Tuna Insulate, fried eggplant with tomato chutney and Ceviche paired well with a cool vin-rouge. The other is the kind of bakery that you want within walking distance of your house. But it isn't so you must go while in town. I owned my own bakery for 12 years and have been making croissants, bread and other seasonal goods for a long, long time. Let's just say that Luna Sourdough is crafting some of the best sourdough croissants I've had the pleasure of meeting. On the way out to Joshua Tree National Park, we stopped by for the last time. I picked up a Ciabatta sandwich with prosciutto, goat cheese, fig jam and arugula....outstanding! The owners and staff (Julia, Ian, Madeline and Maddy) are young, hardworking and lovely! It was an absolute pleasure. They are located on 29 Palms Highway in Yucca Valley. All and all, Casa de Stella was a tonic to our weary souls. We shall return!

Well appointed, art-filled rental in a great location in the quiet hills above Yucca Valley. Fun outdoor rock features + hot tub if yr looking to stay put. If you want to explore, it is close to Rimrock, J Tree, Pioneertown, and the Nat Park. Would definitely stay here again.

This was my second stay at a Homestead Modern property and they are a class act through and through. Their descriptions are always accurate and they go the extra mile to provide a comfortable and relaxing experience. I very much appreciate the timely communication and top tier customer service. Say my family enjoyed the property is an understatement. Beautiful home, beautiful views and a beautiful experience all together. Well done, Homestead Modern! We hope to book with them exclusively whenever visiting the area.

This location is magical with breath taking views. The perfect get away to a beautiful desert oasis. The entire house is filled with art and inspiration. This is by far my favorite Airbnb stay. I’ll be visiting again soon casita linda! Your happy guest, Silvana

Review Date: 8/11/2022

Beautiful. Serene. Extraordinary. Necessary. Impeccable attention to detail including the greeting left for us at the front door to the bright artwork delicately placed around the home. So much to look at and admire! The house gets a lot of sunlight and has such a warm, cozy vibe throughout. The road leading to the driveway is a bumpy one and quite a ways from the main road which is great for those seeking silence. You can’t hear any vehicles from the house. It’s just you, the quail family, the jackrabbits, bunnies and coyote! Our only complaint was how slow the wifi speed was. The router is located in the garage which was locked so we couldn’t reset it or anything. However, HM responded swiftly and kindly and sent someone out right away to assist. He came with a hot spot and stayed to troubleshoot until we were satisfied. We got the speed ramped up just enough to get some work done online. HM goes above and beyond from our experience with them thus far! Ultimately we extended our stay and are so happy that we did. There is all that you need to eat, bbq, mix drinks, etc. such as cooking oil, foil, pots/pans, coffee and such an artful array of coffee mugs and glassware! Oh, and the hot tub…. you must watch the night sky from there. It’s just beautiful and set up cozily next to the boulders in the backyard in a private space. It’s located on the other side of the fire pit area which is also nestled up to the boulders. We had such an amazing stay with the rain, thunderstorms and the biggest, brightest rainbow we’ve ever seen! Enjoy your stay. :)

Review Date: 8/11/2022

This Airbnb was so beautiful and I’m glad we were able to book on short notice. The home was very spacious and well furnished. We were able to enjoy the hot tub at night, and could see the stars from the backyard. The wi-fi was slow, but it was expected. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a family dinner which was very appreciated. Overall would recommend this home to anyone visiting Joshua Tree.

Review Date: 7/8/2022

Great, unique place to spend a weekend. The property is magnificent, with a huge pile of boulders next to the fire pit behind the house and a hot tub to enjoy the desert night under the stars. Fun decorating theme throughout the home, with lots of little details and really nice art. Three big bedrooms, giant circular driveway. The whole property is very private - you can see the neighbors' houses but you can't hear them. Private enough to feel alone. The Host was very communicative and quick to address concerns. Highly recommended.

Review Date: 6/16/2022

Casa La Stella is a piece of functional art that seems to exist like a mirage, shimmering elusively just beyond the blurred heat waves of reality. We absolutely loved this incredibly private oasis, surrounded by vibrant desert flora, resident jack rabbits, abundant bird life that we communed with from the shaded patio. It's like the night sky cradles Casa La Stella protectively, and anyone lucky enough to be there. We sat by the adobe hearth, flames flickering, and watched the sky. One could easily spend a weekend hiking the nearby proper national park trails and returning nightly to this beautiful spot - however, we didn't want to leave for even a minute. It might be on planet earth, but Casa La Stella is its own little world, a shining hidden desert gem of the rarest quality, not to be missed.

If you are looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay in a beautiful home, this is the place. This home met all of our expectations and more! We could not get over the beautiful decor, lovely views, and family areas in which we played games, had a family dinner and enjoyed Yucca Valley's beautiful weather and nature. The home's backyard was perfect, equipped with a fireplace that was incredible during the star gaze portion of the trip. Homestead Modern accommodated our needs, and the communication to book, guidance for the home, and tour of Yucca Valley was simple and perfect. I will be staying here again and highly recommend this location!

This is an ideal place if you want to get away from the city life. It's quiet and the area is spacious enough to have your own privacy. We love the interior especially the decoration. The rooms are accommodating and the beds were comfy. The backyard was the best part of the house. We loved the back drop, it reminds me of the Jumbo Rock campground. The fire pit was warm enough for us to hang out through out the night. The host was very responsive and willing to answer any questions I have. 10/10 would come here again!

La Stella hatten wir ursprünglich mit 2 Tagen Vorlauf gebucht, wurden am Tag der Anreise informiert, dass das La Stella noch renoviert wird. Uns wurde eine ersatzunterkunft, die allerdings aus zwei getrennten Häusern bestand , zur Verfügung gestellt. Wir haben aber nur eines genutzt da wir als Familien mit kleinen Kindern unterwegs waren. Die Unterkunft an sich war fantastisch , brandneu, sehr modern , extrem sauber und top ausgetattet, bis auf das Internet. Die Lage War nicht was wir uns gewünscht hatten, da wir uns ein einsames Häuschen gewünscht hatten und stattdessen an einer Hauptstraße direkt neben einer lauten Bar die bis in die Nacht Partymusik gespielt hat, untergebracht waren. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war sehr gut. Antworten kamen immer prompt und waren allesamt hilfsbereit.
