-- 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 Escondite. 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.

Reviews 5 (73)

The place was tastefully remodeled, great layout, and was exceptionally clean. Everything was functional and easy to use. The furnitures were high quality. The location is very peaceful, with great sky at night, but a bit of drive from Joshua Trees. There is some dirt road to drive in the last half mile or so. Overall, the house had great vibe. One of the nicest place that I have stayed in a while and I travel a lot.

This home was amazing! Beautifully decorated mid century style and so well maintained and very clean. I wish we could've stayed longer. I highly suggest to book this place and stay on the hammock gazing at the heavens! So peaceful and perfect place to stay before or after Integratron session.

This place was really great. Very cozy. Everything is clean and modern and had some nice touches. It’s definitely off the grid and can be an issue to find. We found that Apple maps took us to the wrong place, but Google maps took us there perfectly. Would stay again!
- Review Date: 11/10/2024

I have stayed with homestead modern before and this time was no exception. Always attention to details, spotless clean house, yard and pool. I mean the place self described in photos well, you get privacy and hotel level service on top of it - what else you need ?

This property was absolute perfection from start to finish. The photos were incredible and perfectly styled and we were shocked that the home was even BETTER in real life! The place was well appointed and felt incredibly luxurious without being fussy. We had everything we needed (and more) and it truly felt like every detail was thought of. The check-in process was clear and easy and all instructions were super clear. The property itself is beautiful and the pool was perfect. We will absolutely come back!!!!!!

Response Date: 10/28/2024

The house was just like the pictures - very stunning! The property felt very private and was surrounded by Joshua trees and neighboring horse barns. The host gave detailed instructions on the house and how to operate certain amenities. I especially appreciate how the host provided a link to the town’s happenings so my group could choose from a variety of activities. The house is in a desolate area, so be prepared to drive on sandy dirt roads and some distances to get around. Only complaints were that the record player was broken, the propane was out in the backyard fireplace, and one of the smoke alarms ran out of battery and chirped. This was a beautiful Airbnb that I would surely recommend to a friend. Hope to someday return!
- Review Date: 10/14/2024

This home was exactly as described! Beautiful, comfortable, clean, peaceful and relaxing. We felt right at home and could have stayed forever! Sitting outback by the pool and on the hammocks was so relaxing and quiet you couldn’t hear a sound. The pool was our favorite part! Check in and check out was simple. Directions were not difficult at all on google or Apple Maps. We would definitely stay again and recommend to any of our family or friends.

My BF and I frequent Joshua Tree often and this is by far our favorite AirBnB!!! It has the best backyard we've ever stayed at - the pool is fantastic, the whole backyard is fenced off, which is amazing and super rare for the area. The place was spotless, home-y, clean, cool - we loved the vibe of the furniture and kitchen, the bathrooms were done sooo well. Would 100% rebook this AirBNB and highly recommend, particularly if you are looking to enjoy outside and the pool area!

Very nice modern house with a pristine pool. Perfect for relaxing. And the best nearby hiking is by Pioneertown. Loved that area!

Beautiful place! There are a couple homes nearby, although still very peaceful. We went during peak summer heat, pool was a little warm yet still enjoyable. Jacuzzi was wonderful, great to soak and stargaze at night.

The house was a beautiful place to get away from the loud city. Nice, peaceful, and quiet is what I would describe this place. The stars at night were immaculate and unforgettable. Sure was a good trip for our anniversary.

I never wanted to leave! This home is so beautiful, cozy, relaxing and secluded. We barley left the pool and outdoor area while we were there. The kitchen was wonderful to cook in. Bed was comfy. Watched the stars from the hammocks. Loved that all the fire features had timers. Took a soak in the tub and watched the sunset. This place is magical. Thank you.

If you’re looking for a secluded hideout with upscale southwestern vibes. Reserve now! Escondite was perfect for my wife and I to recharge. Views, seclusion, pool, comfort inside and out. I can’t say enough nice things. I’ll throw out there the only thing we didn’t have was an umbrella for near the pool. Everything worked like new and had clear operating instructions. Homestead moderns team were very quick with responses and accommodating requests we had. 5 Stars all around.

Quiet and perfect for 4th of July get away with our dog who’s terrified of fireworks Property is large with fence all around so we could have let our dog wander however it’s so big it’s difficult to keep an eye on her depending where she was so we opted for a long leash instead Dirt road leading to the house for a couple of miles so it was slow going but with reward of seeing so many stars at night. Far enough out of town where you felt secluded but close enough to pop in and get groceries Air conditioner worked great. Details of the space were so cool and felt upscale. Beds were comfy with nice linen and kitchen had all needed basic necessities and grill was easy to use Pool was definitely the highlight and was partially shaded by 2pm. Didn’t use the fireplace outside since it was hot at night but looked nice. Loved the hammocks for star gazing Very responsive and helpful. Would stay again :)

- Review Date: 6/28/2024

This place is absolutely beautiful! Secluded, peaceful and quiet. The pool/spa combo was essential for our 100 degree plus weekend. The water temp was perfect! Great outdoor shower, nice linens and well- appointed kitchen for cooking. You are a bit down a dirt road outside town and about 20 min drive from both Pappy and Harriet’s and the park entrance. Super close to The Integratron. Which is a must! If you’re looking for solitude, a spa-like atmosphere and excellent star gazing; this is it! You really don’t need to leave this homestead for anything!

Fantastic house - thanks Mollie!
- Review Date: 5/28/2024

The place is beautiful, clean and pool is super nice! Very quiet and comfortable. The only thing I’d say if you are bringing your dog the place is fenced off but the desert environment is pretty treacherous (cacti and sharp plants everywhere) so we didn’t feel comfortable letting our pup run free in the yard. Also, there are a couple off leash neighboring dogs that will come into the fence if you don’t close it immediately so keep that in mind!

Our group of three had a wonderful time at this house! A perfect combo of amenities, without too many distractions… the setting really helped us drop into our weekend. Great recommendation on a local massage therapist, the perfect pool at the perfect temperature, well-sourced bedding and linens, and easy to follow instructions helped us get the most out of our time in the desert. Highly recommend a stay at Escondite!

When you travel to Joshua Tree these days, so many rentals are on top of each other. This location…Not the same! :). I really enjoyed the ride onto the property and the yard and how private it was. Very quiet and had everything you needed in the kitchen. Also, the outdoor spaces were a vibe and very easy to use! I was so pleased that I shared with friends and we booked a stay for the following week! Thanks for the solid communication and ease with this booking! ???

Well, the 2nd stay was a vibe again!! This time we cooked more and entertained some friends and the grill was in full affect! We enjoyed the pool during the day before heading to JTree National Park and the hot tub that night. I also enjoyed getting to catch a proper sunrise right in the backyard while in the hot tub with a fresh cup of coffee! Try it when you rent this place…It’s a VIBE! Thanks again for great communication and allowing us to check in a bit early! Can’t wait to come back again! It’s my 2nd home now! ????

My family and I had such a great time in this beautiful home! It was not only stunning and beautifully decorated, it was comfortable and provided all the amenities we needed for a great stay. It was close to all of the major things we wanted to do in town, although you find yourself not really wanting to leave. We also appreciated the electric pool cover that helped keep our little ones safe while they were running around in the backyard. Will definitely be staying here again soon!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Escondite! It was so beautiful, homey, clean, well stocked and had everything we needed for a great weekend. It is a little off the beaten path but that ended up beating nice. The property is very private and quiet. Beautiful scenery around and great sunsets! The pool and hot tub were probably our favorite amenities. They also have 2 outdoor fireplaces that were very nice. They even had a record player with a fun selection of vinyl for our listening pleasure. The host was very communicative and responsive. We would definitely stay there again!

I can highly recommend a retreat to this beautiful Desert Home. The location is peaceful and the perfect place to recharge your soul. The house has been designed to the highest standards and is as comfortable as it is beautiful. It is also outfitted with everything you could need for your stay. There is a gorgeous pool and spa, a firepit, and hammocks to relax and enjoy during the day and provide the perfect place to enjoy the desert night sky. Book stay here, you won't regret it! Kirsten

The place was wonderful! Very homey with all of the necessary amenities! HM provided us with a little welcoming gift as well! (Thank you!) We loved the Casita - it provided extra privacy for my partner and I and the other couple we stayed with - the clawfoot tub and floor to ceiling glass were perfect for a relaxing soak and enjoying the sunset. It was very peaceful and quiet with little surrounding light making it a great spot for stargazing. We will definitely visit again!
- Review Date: 2/9/2024

A wonderful home to unwind and relax. The decor, architecture and furnishings all complement the nature outside and the hot tub was a spectacular remedy for the rain and cool weather. We’d love to come back with a group of six during better weather to take advantage of all the home offers.

Escondido Guesthouse was exceptional! The design of the home is lovely and well-thought out in every regard. The owners have wonderful taste. The open kitchen was fun to cook in, while listening to albums on the turntable and some people enjoying the sunset and hot tub. The views are incredible. The beds are super comfortable and everyone got a wonderful nights' sleep. You are close to lots of restaurants and activities in this location, yet it is very private. A chic sanctuary - we will definitely be back!

- Review Date: 1/23/2024

I took some friends from Australia to this house to show off our Californian desert and it was the PERFECT little getaway. The place is remote enough to have privacy but also close enough to some local food spots to make things fun. The place itself was almost brand new - and normally, this would feel like a rushed flip with poor fittings and broken appliances, but the standard of this build was premium, and everything worked as intended the first time. From the EV car charger to the A/C and heater, the pool and spa, and the extremely comfortable beds. These hosts have thought of everything you might need and executed it at a level you'd aspire for your own home to be. Style-wise, it was like being in the executive suite at an Ace Hotel - but in the middle of nowhere! The staff were friendly, super responsive, and accommodating when something I caused didn't go to plan. We rarely ever revisit AirBnb's but I've already bookmarked this place for a return because we loved it that much.

Hi, there When we first stumbled upon this house on Airbnb, it seemed almost too good to be true. We thought there was a catch! Everything was as perfect as it seemed online. The house is really comfortable. The kitchen contains everything you need. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom are clean and nice outdoor seating at night it was incredible! Thanks Escondite: Modern Desert Hideout w Pool + Spa for such a wonderful time! We will be back if I have a chance.
- Review Date: 1/12/2024

This is an absolutely beautiful home. It's been fully renovated and they did not cut corners on the construction, design, or decor. The location is very private, but the house is brightly lit, open, and flows wonderfully. The furniture and decor is sleek and modern. There are numerous lounging areas large enough for a few people to sit: main bedroom, living room, outdoor fire place, outdoor fire pit. The heater/AC is very high quality, with units in every room (again, no cut corners ). Very pet friendly, with a huge plot of land for my dog to explore. I walked the fence line when I first arrived, and did not find any problems or gaps. The kitchen has brand new high quality appliances. The host was responsive and very helpful with my questions, and I had no problem with the check-in system or the locks. Pro tip for winter visitors: bring house slippers. The heaters were great, and the stone floors are gorgeous, but they stay cool all day. Would love to stay again if I get the chance

Had an incredible stay at Escondite over the holidays. The setting of the house was perfect— it felt like we were surrounded by desert, with Goat mountain rising in the distance beyond the pool and spa. There’s a fire pit some distance from the house, and two hammocks under the Joshua Trees, offering different places to relax in nature both day and night. One evening we sat in the spa and listened to two great horned owls hooting to each other. The kitchen was very well stocked with tools, making it easy to prepare a full holiday meal— there were all the pots and pans I needed, good knives, measuring cups, and a blender. Will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house; it lived up to the expectations set by the pictures. The views were impressive, and the interior design was on point – no complaints there. The owners were a pleasant surprise, going the extra mile by offering complimentary wine during our stay, adding a nice touch to our experience. The pool and jacuzzi were user-friendly, making it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time. The entire process, from check-in to check-out, was smooth, and we encountered no issues. This place offers a solid escape, and we appreciated the effort put into making it a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It's more than just a house; it's a destination that we would recommend for a effortless getaway.

Our new favorite place in the desert! We had the most fabulous and relaxing time. The home is so chic. A dream aesthetic. No detail was left unturned - every where you look is luxury. The heated hot spa was the perfect treat at the end of a long day in the park. Curled up with a bottle of wine next to the outdoor fireplace. The casita was also the perfect way to have privacy while traveling with another couple. Shout out to the incredible company managing it - we texted them a question and had a response within 15 minutes! We will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved our stay!! Absolutely beautiful and thoughtful property!! Felt like a luxurious hotel in a cool part of the desert! The landscaping is absolutely stunning and the jacuzzi at night under the stars and expansive, clear from other houses or any obstructions of the desert and mountain-in-the-horizon landscape was breathtaking!! They had everything we needed!! The hosts were extremely helpful and responsive. Every detail of the property was designed so well and such a great desert aesthetic!! Hoping to be back here soon for our next trip to the desert!! One of the best places I’ve stayed in the Joshua tree area!! Don’t forget to take a soak in the gorgeous tub in the casita - you won’t regret it!! Thank you Homestead Modern for such a beautiful weekend away with the family!
- Review Date: 11/27/2023

I absolutely loved my stay at Escondite. The desert setting is unbelievable - so private and vast and with Joshua trees on the property! Watching the sky change at sunset from the spa is probably my favorite experience. The house is high design and has such nice amenities and features. The beds are very comfortable, and I loved the soft Parachute robes they provided in every room. Our dogs loved the fully fenced 3 acres as well. We’ve never seen them sleep so soundly! Highly recommend this amazing property and can’t wait to return myself!

Great getaway to this modern home in the desert! Stocked kitchen with all the tools and even some vintage cast irons for cooking. Cozy reading chair and couches. Perfect temperature hot tub and pool. Super comfortable beds and lines, slept great. Even our dog loved the provided dog bed. Beautiful bathroom with sky light. Super short drive to La Copine and not much further to many other great spots like the Copper Room and Tiny Pony. Recommend and would stay again!
- Review Date: 11/8/2023

Absolutely LOVED our stay here! Craft fully designed with high end decor, we truly enjoyed as a family of 6 -3 couples, 2 kids and a dog. The outdoor shower has both hot and cold which was wonderfully comforting when the wind got a bit too cold. The hammocks at night provided an unreal view of the milky way! Shut the lights completely off at the house to see this. The fireplace outside by the outdoor dining is a great way to keep warm on cold nights while being able to sit together as a group and chat. We appreciated that the entire property was completely fenced off with tons of privacy that we could let him roam around freely. The host was very communicative and clear instructions were provided throughout the house and in advance of our stay that we didn't have trouble with operating anything. If you are on the fence about booking this spot, book it now! You will not regret it!

Desert Oasis

It's a sweet spot for up to 6 guests looking for a posh and chill getaway. You'll find cool bedrooms, fancy bathrooms, a swanky kitchen, and a chill living room that flows right into the outdoors. The backyard is a hot spot with a heated pool, a spa, and even a cozy propane fireplace. Plus, you're super close to Joshua Tree National Park, and Pioneertown. Wifi was good, and an EV charger was handy. Escondite was all about kicking back in the desert, making it a memorable Joshua Tree escape. We would def come here again!!

The place was tastefully remodeled, great layout, and was exceptionally clean. Everything was functional and easy to use. The furnitures were high quality. The location is very peaceful, with great sky at night, but a bit of drive from Joshua Trees. There is some dirt road to drive in the last half mile or so. Overall, the house had great vibe. One of the nicest place that I have stayed in a while and I travel a lot.

This property was absolute perfection from start to finish. The photos were incredible and perfectly styled and we were shocked that the home was even BETTER in real life! The place was well appointed and felt incredibly luxurious without being fussy. We had everything we needed (and more) and it truly felt like every detail was thought of. The check-in process was clear and easy and all instructions were super clear. The property itself is beautiful and the pool was perfect. We will absolutely come back!!!!!!

Review Date: 10/21/2024

The house was just like the pictures - very stunning! The property felt very private and was surrounded by Joshua trees and neighboring horse barns. The host gave detailed instructions on the house and how to operate certain amenities. I especially appreciate how the host provided a link to the town’s happenings so my group could choose from a variety of activities. The house is in a desolate area, so be prepared to drive on sandy dirt roads and some distances to get around. Only complaints were that the record player was broken, the propane was out in the backyard fireplace, and one of the smoke alarms ran out of battery and chirped. This was a beautiful Airbnb that I would surely recommend to a friend. Hope to someday return!

Review Date: 10/14/2024

This home was exactly as described! Beautiful, comfortable, clean, peaceful and relaxing. We felt right at home and could have stayed forever! Sitting outback by the pool and on the hammocks was so relaxing and quiet you couldn’t hear a sound. The pool was our favorite part! Check in and check out was simple. Directions were not difficult at all on google or Apple Maps. We would definitely stay again and recommend to any of our family or friends.

My family and I had such a great time in this beautiful home! It was not only stunning and beautifully decorated, it was comfortable and provided all the amenities we needed for a great stay. It was close to all of the major things we wanted to do in town, although you find yourself not really wanting to leave. We also appreciated the electric pool cover that helped keep our little ones safe while they were running around in the backyard. Will definitely be staying here again soon!

Absolutely recommend staying here. A 25 minute drive to the park itself, but beyond worth it to have privacy and the stunning home + grounds. The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive. Would love to visit again one day.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Escondite! It was so beautiful, homey, clean, well stocked and had everything we needed for a great weekend. It is a little off the beaten path but that ended up beating nice. The property is very private and quiet. Beautiful scenery around and great sunsets! The pool and hot tub were probably our favorite amenities. They also have 2 outdoor fireplaces that were very nice. They even had a record player with a fun selection of vinyl for our listening pleasure. The host was very communicative and responsive. We would definitely stay there again!

I can highly recommend a retreat to this beautiful Desert Home. The location is peaceful and the perfect place to recharge your soul. The house has been designed to the highest standards and is as comfortable as it is beautiful. It is also outfitted with everything you could need for your stay. There is a gorgeous pool and spa, a firepit, and hammocks to relax and enjoy during the day and provide the perfect place to enjoy the desert night sky. Book stay here, you won't regret it! Kirsten

The place was wonderful! Very homey with all of the necessary amenities! HM provided us with a little welcoming gift as well! (Thank you!) We loved the Casita - it provided extra privacy for my partner and I and the other couple we stayed with - the clawfoot tub and floor to ceiling glass were perfect for a relaxing soak and enjoying the sunset. It was very peaceful and quiet with little surrounding light making it a great spot for stargazing. We will definitely visit again!

A wonderful home to unwind and relax. The decor, architecture and furnishings all complement the nature outside and the hot tub was a spectacular remedy for the rain and cool weather. We’d love to come back with a group of six during better weather to take advantage of all the home offers.

Escondido Guesthouse was exceptional! The design of the home is lovely and well-thought out in every regard. The owners have wonderful taste. The open kitchen was fun to cook in, while listening to albums on the turntable and some people enjoying the sunset and hot tub. The views are incredible. The beds are super comfortable and everyone got a wonderful nights' sleep. You are close to lots of restaurants and activities in this location, yet it is very private. A chic sanctuary - we will definitely be back!

I took some friends from Australia to this house to show off our Californian desert and it was the PERFECT little getaway. The place is remote enough to have privacy but also close enough to some local food spots to make things fun. The place itself was almost brand new - and normally, this would feel like a rushed flip with poor fittings and broken appliances, but the standard of this build was premium, and everything worked as intended the first time. From the EV car charger to the A/C and heater, the pool and spa, and the extremely comfortable beds. These hosts have thought of everything you might need and executed it at a level you'd aspire for your own home to be. Style-wise, it was like being in the executive suite at an Ace Hotel - but in the middle of nowhere! The staff were friendly, super responsive, and accommodating when something I caused didn't go to plan. We rarely ever revisit AirBnb's but I've already bookmarked this place for a return because we loved it that much.

Hi, there When we first stumbled upon this house on Airbnb, it seemed almost too good to be true. We thought there was a catch! Everything was as perfect as it seemed online. The house is really comfortable. The kitchen contains everything you need. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom are clean and nice outdoor seating at night it was incredible! Thanks Escondite: Modern Desert Hideout w Pool + Spa for such a wonderful time! We will be back if I have a chance.

This is an absolutely beautiful home. It's been fully renovated and they did not cut corners on the construction, design, or decor. The location is very private, but the house is brightly lit, open, and flows wonderfully. The furniture and decor is sleek and modern. There are numerous lounging areas large enough for a few people to sit: main bedroom, living room, outdoor fire place, outdoor fire pit. The heater/AC is very high quality, with units in every room (again, no cut corners ). Very pet friendly, with a huge plot of land for my dog to explore. I walked the fence line when I first arrived, and did not find any problems or gaps. The kitchen has brand new high quality appliances. The host was responsive and very helpful with my questions, and I had no problem with the check-in system or the locks. Pro tip for winter visitors: bring house slippers. The heaters were great, and the stone floors are gorgeous, but they stay cool all day. Would love to stay again if I get the chance

Had an incredible stay at Escondite over the holidays. The setting of the house was perfect— it felt like we were surrounded by desert, with Goat mountain rising in the distance beyond the pool and spa. There’s a fire pit some distance from the house, and two hammocks under the Joshua Trees, offering different places to relax in nature both day and night. One evening we sat in the spa and listened to two great horned owls hooting to each other. The kitchen was very well stocked with tools, making it easy to prepare a full holiday meal— there were all the pots and pans I needed, good knives, measuring cups, and a blender. Will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house; it lived up to the expectations set by the pictures. The views were impressive, and the interior design was on point – no complaints there. The owners were a pleasant surprise, going the extra mile by offering complimentary wine during our stay, adding a nice touch to our experience. The pool and jacuzzi were user-friendly, making it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time. The entire process, from check-in to check-out, was smooth, and we encountered no issues. This place offers a solid escape, and we appreciated the effort put into making it a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It's more than just a house; it's a destination that we would recommend for a effortless getaway.

Our new favorite place in the desert! We had the most fabulous and relaxing time. The home is so chic. A dream aesthetic. No detail was left unturned - every where you look is luxury. The heated hot spa was the perfect treat at the end of a long day in the park. Curled up with a bottle of wine next to the outdoor fireplace. The casita was also the perfect way to have privacy while traveling with another couple. Shout out to the incredible company managing it - we texted them a question and had a response within 15 minutes! We will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved our stay!! Absolutely beautiful and thoughtful property!! Felt like a luxurious hotel in a cool part of the desert! The landscaping is absolutely stunning and the jacuzzi at night under the stars and expansive, clear from other houses or any obstructions of the desert and mountain-in-the-horizon landscape was breathtaking!! They had everything we needed!! The hosts were extremely helpful and responsive. Every detail of the property was designed so well and such a great desert aesthetic!! Hoping to be back here soon for our next trip to the desert!! One of the best places I’ve stayed in the Joshua tree area!! Don’t forget to take a soak in the gorgeous tub in the casita - you won’t regret it!! Thank you Homestead Modern for such a beautiful weekend away with the family!

I absolutely loved my stay at Escondite. The desert setting is unbelievable - so private and vast and with Joshua trees on the property! Watching the sky change at sunset from the spa is probably my favorite experience. The house is high design and has such nice amenities and features. The beds are very comfortable, and I loved the soft Parachute robes they provided in every room. Our dogs loved the fully fenced 3 acres as well. We’ve never seen them sleep so soundly! Highly recommend this amazing property and can’t wait to return myself!

Great getaway to this modern home in the desert! Stocked kitchen with all the tools and even some vintage cast irons for cooking. Cozy reading chair and couches. Perfect temperature hot tub and pool. Super comfortable beds and lines, slept great. Even our dog loved the provided dog bed. Beautiful bathroom with sky light. Super short drive to La Copine and not much further to many other great spots like the Copper Room and Tiny Pony. Recommend and would stay again!

Absolutely LOVED our stay here! Craft fully designed with high end decor, we truly enjoyed as a family of 6 -3 couples, 2 kids and a dog. The outdoor shower has both hot and cold which was wonderfully comforting when the wind got a bit too cold. The hammocks at night provided an unreal view of the milky way! Shut the lights completely off at the house to see this. The fireplace outside by the outdoor dining is a great way to keep warm on cold nights while being able to sit together as a group and chat. We appreciated that the entire property was completely fenced off with tons of privacy that we could let him roam around freely. The host was very communicative and clear instructions were provided throughout the house and in advance of our stay that we didn't have trouble with operating anything. If you are on the fence about booking this spot, book it now! You will not regret it!

It's a sweet spot for up to 6 guests looking for a posh and chill getaway. You'll find cool bedrooms, fancy bathrooms, a swanky kitchen, and a chill living room that flows right into the outdoors. The backyard is a hot spot with a heated pool, a spa, and even a cozy propane fireplace. Plus, you're super close to Joshua Tree National Park, and Pioneertown. Wifi was good, and an EV charger was handy. Escondite was all about kicking back in the desert, making it a memorable Joshua Tree escape. We would def come here again!!
