Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests:

-”We absolutely LOVED our stay here! It's private, peaceful, secluded and a gorgeous architectural marvel perfect for a weekend of relaxing, hiking and stargazing.” -Katya

-”Breathtaking views and spectacular architecture and design. It’s far more beautiful than the photos. This is quite a special place.” -Susie

-”Beautifully sited and beautifully constructed. Peaceful and quiet. Hiking right outside door. Highly recommend!” -Debra

---------------

The property has no immediate neighbors, enhancing the profound sense of solitude. Flat-top mesas abound — including those in the nearby Sand to Snow National Monument. Hiking and stargazing are truly world-class in this desirable Pipes Canyon locale.

As seen in Travel + Leisure and Wallpaper Magazine, Hawk & Mesa offers stunning views in a serene location. Designer Jeremy Levine wanted to maximize the view from every room, creating a seamless flow from the house into nature. This iconic eco-friendly Pipes Canyon home is the perfect place for couples, friends, or families, with a spacious layout, impressive desert surroundings, and a pool and hot tub. As with all Homestead Modern Homes, Hawk & Mesa comes with a full-time local support team that is here to help you unplug, unwind, and engage with the desert

"Inspired by this beautiful natural landscape, the architect composed a home that acts as a flagship for sustainable living, both in terms of its building methods and its connection with its surroundings" - Wallpaper Magazine

" In order to minimize disturbance to the desert’s delicate ecosystem, the structure was designed with a zero-waste system with assembly akin to that of a giant erector set. This dramatically reduced the overall amount of construction waste and build time." - DesignBoom Magazine

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

Neighborhood

Pipes Canyon is one of the most sought-after locations in the High Desert. It’s close to everything – and yet very much set apart with next to no light or noise pollution. The area is surrounded by dramatic flat-top lava buttes, towering and weathered boulders, and an abundance of Joshua trees.

Pipes Canyon is immediately adjacent to the Sand to Snow National Monument as well as the Pioneertown Mountains Preserve, both offering endless hiking and exploring opportunities, and the West Entrance of Joshua Tree National Park is about 30 minutes away by car.

Although you may be tempted to spend your whole trip exploring Pipes Canyon, many more area highlights are accessible within a short drive:
• Pioneertown (10-minute drive) - Put on your ten-gallon hat and stroll down Mane Street of this Wild West-inspired town, also known for Pappy & Harriet’s, a notable restaurant and venue.
• Yucca Valley (20-minute drive) - Convenient stop for chain stores and local eateries, like Carla's Route 62 Diner and C & S Coffee Shop
• Joshua Tree Village (20-minute drive) - Quirky strip of boutiques and restaurants, including Coyote Corner, Space Cowboy Books, and the rustic 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.
• Palm Springs (45-minute drive) - Artsy town known for vintage shopping, art galleries, and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.
• Mt. San Jacinto State Park (90-minute drive) - Expansive, hilly landscape with foot and horseback trails surrounding 10,834-foot Mount San Jacinto.

Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much! ?
- Review Date: 12/17/2024

Hawk and Mesa was a reprieve; the reality of the house and the property is actually much better than the pictures ... which is hard to imagine. Even at night, it was easy to find and check-in was simple. The house was spotless. The interior decor is well-articulated, simple and flows into the architecture, the mesa, rocks, yucca trees and stars at night. Hawk and Mesa is silent; it is the place to turn off your phone, read a book, cook a meal, hike, sun-bathe, or watch the light blue sky of early morning bisect the horizon and plunging, pre-historic rock formations. The hot tub under Orion's Belt, the cowboy polar plunge and the friendly jack rabbits made for a weekend to remember.
- Review Date: 12/10/2024

We’re thrilled Hawk and Mesa exceeded your expectations and provided such a serene and memorable escape. It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the design, natural surroundings, and peaceful ambiance. We hope to welcome you back soon for more moments of tranquility and connection with nature.

We loved the floor to ceiling windows, was the perfect change of scenery for our family. It felt very private and was comfortable!

My husband and I stayed here for several nights during a climbing trip to Joshua Tree, and it was fantastic! The property is serene and perfectly blends modern comforts with the natural beauty of the landscape. It felt like camping with all the luxuries of home. We especially enjoyed starting our mornings with coffee on the deck and ending our days stargazing from the hot tub—a truly magical experience. The home is thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, encouraging a deeper connection with the landscape. On a practical note, the water pressure was excellent, and the WiFi was strong and reliable throughout our stay, which was a huge bonus as we needed to work remotely. The hosts were incredibly responsive and friendly, making the entire process seamless. We’d absolutely love to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful yet comfortable retreat in Joshua Tree!

We're so happy to hear that you and your husband had a fantastic stay during your climbing trip. It’s great to know that the blend of modern comforts and natural beauty made your experience so special. We would love to host you again anytime and truly appreciate your high recommendation!

Beautiful property. From the home itself to the boundaries of the property line itself. Blissful silence, awe-inspiring clear night sky, and desert eye-candy all around. Stay here and you won’t regret it.

Hawk and Mesa is stunning. It's the most peaceful airbnb I've ever rented. The sweeping desert views are even better in person than in the photographs. The hot tub under the stars is amazing. The house feels like an architectural gem. We drove to Joshua Tree to hike one day (about 40 minutes), but the other two days we were happy just to go for walks on the property. The house felt like such an oasis, we didn't want to leave. It's a 15-minute drive to Pioneertown, where you can get a good lunch at Pappy and Harriet's. The town of Yucca Valley is 20 minutes away; you might want to stop for groceries at Von's before you arrive. On the way back from Joshua Tree, Sky High Pizza is excellent. We arrived at night, which I don't recommend. It's not difficult to find in daylight, but it is a bit remote and the last mile is a dirt road, so it's easier if you arrive when there is still light. A gorgeous experience all around. Excellent hosts. Perfect house. I hope to return.

An amazing stay in Pioneertown/Joshua Tree! The floor-to-ceiling windows make it feel like you're in nature no matter where you are in the house, and there are great tools for birdwatching and stargazing. The huge property allows you to really explore, even outside of hiking trails. And the many amenities outside - the patio area, the fire table, the hot tub, sitting areas, etc - make it a great space to hang out. Many Airbnbs (especially in this area, I find) look great in pictures and don't live up to them at all - that's absolutely not the case here. Homestead Modern is a well-oiled machine with a proper cleaning & management crew. Super comfy space to be at one with nature. We'll be back!

There are not many places to visit where one can experience nothing but the serene sounds of nature. The back of this home bumps up against open land, open sky, and Joshua trees. Everything about this place was next to perfect. Unfortunately for me, I got food poisoning, and spent the entirety of our short stay mostly inside. (do not ever drink left over Starbucks that's left overnight in the car! yikes!) But I made the most of it! I watched the sunset and sunrise every morning wrapped up in a blanket-no two sunrises or sunsets were ever the same. Every afternoon, a covey of quail showed up on the back patio and the stargazing was awesome(definitely my husbands favorite part!) It wasn't exactly the 10 year wedding anniversary I had planned, but It was a memorable stay. We will definitely be coming back again some day. Two thumbs up!
- Review Date: 11/7/2024

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, and we’re so sorry to hear about your food poisoning experience! While we wish you hadn’t been unwell, we’re glad you still made the most of your time here. We're honored that you chose our home for your anniversary, and we look forward to welcoming you both back.

Hawk and Mesa is a beautiful home. It was private with stunning views of the sunset, sunrise, and stars, and has everything you need. We were even able to see the sun rise in the morning and many stars at night from the bed!
- Review Date: 7/9/2024

We had such a wonderful stay at this property. The house and location are absolutely perfect. It's situated off of the main road and is super private, creating an amazingly peaceful stay. Homestead Modern also left out a doggie bed & bowls, among other things, for my pup. They were super easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions. I'd highly recommend a stay here! We will be back.

Beautiful place to get away and find solitude.
- Review Date: 7/4/2024

Although visiting the desert at the height of Summer is not ideal, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hawk and Mesa. We enjoyed sitting on the porch enjoying the view and the light breeze as the sun went down and the temperatures dropped considerably. We are in the market for a steel framed house and this beautiful home was a perfect example of what we want. We were also treated to a spectacular sight of Space X racing through the desert skyline. Thank you for making our stay a most pleasant one and anticipating our needs.

This is my second time in this house, to be honest is one of my favorite properties from homestead modern, its very peaceful, close to everything yet very private and the view is out of this world. Will be back for sure, I travel many times a year to Joshua Tree and always stay with homestead, their properties never disappoint and their service is the best.

This was by far one of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed in. The home is architecturally beautiful, comfortable, and well-stocked. The land on which the property sits is magical, with some of the best scenery and hikes you could imagine. Our stay was absolutely perfect. We even booked another night because we weren’t ready to leave. This place is a total gem that that you have to experience to believe. 10/10. There are no words that can do it justice. Just wow.
- Review Date: 6/8/2024

Book this! Had us thinking about buying in the area. “Relaxing” doesn’t really do this property justice…it’s a pure disconnect from day to day hectic life and something you must feel for yourself. Will be returning in the future.
- Review Date: 6/2/2024

My partner and I had an absolutely amazing evening, surrounded by the expansive natural setting that surrounds the property. Couldn’t have picked a better spot to disconnect and not look at other houses or cars. We honestly spent more time outside than in, but the home is very cozy and everything you need. I would definitely stay again.

The hi desert is magical and this home fits perfectly into the surroundings. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place. Incredible sunsets and if the moon is full, you can hike out with the coyotes at night with no flashlights. Beautiful spot I highly recommend.

My wife and I originally booked for one night . We arrived at sun down. The next morning we saw the amazing views and decided to stay one more day. Beautiful views! walked around the property and explored. I highly recommend. It reminded us of a western movie.

Vivemos dias incríveis nesta na casa Hawk & Mesa. Casa moderna, minimalista e bem decorada/equipada. Vista de tirar o fólego, tranquilidade e privacidade. Fomos muito bem atendidos pelo Homestead Modern desde o primeiro contato. Pró-ativos, informações claras e agilidade nas respostas. Como adicional ainda nos deram dicas locais que foram muito úteis. Recomendo de olhos fechados e com certeza voltarei nesta casa.

Great location and beautiful house. Exactly like the pictures. We were stuck inside most of the time with bad weather but the house and location were so nice, we were happy. Very responsive support and thorough instructions. Secluded but everything you need is 10 to 15m away including the Red Saloon and Pappy and Harriets.
- Review Date: 2/7/2024

We cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was. Having booked rather last-minute and never having traveled to that area, we really relied on the prior reviews and abundance of photos. It’s amazing to have such honest and thorough representation. This is the perfect place to disconnect and take advantage of the peace and remote surroundings. The home and setting is stunning, well-equipped, and the amenities are just as described. Amazing place to take in the sunrise, sunset, and stargazing in a truly tranquil space. We were sad to leave, but will be delighted to return again soon. Thank you!

- Review Date: 1/27/2024

This house and the private canyon are BEAUTIFUL — perfect little getaway for our post-holiday season retreat. We drove over from LA to work from home in the Joshua Tree area (Yucca/Pioneertown) and caught the tail end of the first meteor shower of 2024. The Hawk & Mesa house was perfect in every way. The design of the house is impeccable, positioned perfectly to view every colorful hue of the sunrise as it peaks over the eastern mountains from the wide windows of the living room. It was 30-40 deg F outdoors during our stay, but we saw a few shooting stars while stargazing all night from the warm jacuzzi. We also meandered around the canyon area for a sunset hike. If you take a moment to disconnect and be present in the outdoor environment of Hawk & Mesa, the tranquility and serenity of the space will surely heal and recharge. The house came with everything, as described. Check out Pappy & Harriet’s nearby for fire BBQ. We would definitely return when we need another local retreat.
- Review Date: 1/17/2024

Stunning location, beautiful home! The house is in pristine condition and the views are gorgeous. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to getaway and gaze at the stars.
- Review Date: 1/14/2024

Solid homebase from where to explore the surroundings. The house borders something like a personal Joshua Tree Park right outside your door, ready for exploration. Boulder scrambling, ambling among groves ofJoshua trees and other spectacular geologies like large volcanic mesas. Add to that a well stocked house, the hot tub and the modern architecture and you will find that there is no need to go anywhere else, other than the occasional visit to Pappy and Harriet’s.

I am having trouble getting back a double cleaning fee and service fee but aside from that it was great.

Hello Red Diamond Thorn, we are glad to inform you that we have gone ahead and refunded the cleaning fee and pet fee for the duration of your stay as you have already paid for it in another reservation. Looking forward to having you back soon with us again, until then safe travels!

The Hawk and Mesa house was wonderful! My husband and I stayed here for just over a week and had the most relaxing time. We put 18 miles of hiking/running on that week, between the neighboring land and Joshua Tree National Park. The house was perfect and the view was beautiful - and our little coyote friend who showed up on the patio one morning was an added bonus! We would highly recommend Hawk and Mesa for anyone looking to get away from the noise and busyness of city life!
- Review Date: 12/10/2023

Beautiful inside and out. Great location and well designed. Wanted to see the Milky Way Galaxy and this space was an amazing place to do that. Great set up with bedrooms on opposite sides. Nice open kitchen / dining concept. All the necessary things present. The cowboy tub was a welcomed addition with how hot it was.

Excellent place. Very secluded. Relatively easy to get to in Pioneertown.
- Review Date: 8/22/2023

Best stay in the area, hands down. Beautiful grounds for hiking, it’s private, secluded, has modern amenities, and the listing looks just like the photos. Great location!!! The views out the back porch are insane. The mornings are great, Sunsets are beautiful and nights under the stars in the hot tub are probably as good as it gets. It’s truly an amazing spot. Clean and minimal space. Loved it. Plus it’s not far from town. Responsive hosts also made the trip that much better! Just book it already..
- Review Date: 8/12/2023

Absolutely beautiful property! Was exactly what we needed to unwind & destress. So cozy, you instantly feel right at home. Full kitchen was great for cooking meals along with the grill outside Waking up to that view never got old! We will def be back!
- Review Date: 7/21/2023

What an absolute gem in the high-desert. The house was clean, pretty, and had the amenities that were necessary to make it a great stay. Not to mention the puppies were absolutely comfortable on the cool, concrete floors! What a well designed home. Can't wait to come back and make it a tradition :)
- Review Date: 7/12/2023

This was our second trip to Yucca Valley. The Hawk+Mesa was the better venue in my personal opinion. It definitely feels more expensive than the other listings at first. However, when we saw the moon rising behind the mountains from the patio during our first night, it was totally worth it. I never saw a moon rise that beautiful in my whole life. The place is so private and quite that you can just relax doing nothing just lying in the lounge bed. We had minor problems, but the host was very responsive and helpful to make us feel comfortable. I’d definitely try to visit the place again if I get a chance ??
- Review Date: 7/6/2023

We absolutely LOVED our stay here! It's private, peaceful, secluded and a gorgeous architectural marvel perfect for a weekend of relaxing, hiking and stargazing. Huge windows, comfy bed, the views were perfection. If you love nature and are looking for a true getaway from city life to enjoy the desert in complete privacy, this is what you're looking for. I only wish we stayed longer and had more time to hike the property because there is so much to see!!
- Review Date: 6/23/2023

I had such an amazing time here! And the scenery is so beautiful and perfect. I hope to absolutely come back, I had the most refreshing stay. I cooked a nice meal, enjoyed the hot tub outside in the silence of nature. And slept like baby. It felt like a home away from home. I wish I could’ve stayed longer
- Review Date: 6/9/2023

Lovely stay, beautiful location, well appointed and maintained property! We had a wonderful time - and wanted to share that if the wind is getting in the way of grilling, use some aluminum foil to block the vents at the back of the BBQ. Worked like a charm for us so we could keep cooking outdoors even during the strongest winds in the afternoon!

- Review Date: 2/22/2023

A truly lovely home that was a much needed escape from city life. A serene stay complemented by beautiful scenery and a pristine house. We booked Hawk & Mesa last minute for a change of scenery and were pleased with our decision. Rather than stay in the mix of everything in Joshua Tree or Palm Springs, the home offered a bit of peaceful seclusion, which we were looking for in this particular case. We went on a hike, utilized the grill, watched a movie, and sat by the fire outside to enjoy the surroundings. Big plus was they not only welcomed us, but our well-trained dog. They were prepared inside with a dog bed, bowls, and other things. Beautifully well-kept interior and exterior, we felt right at home. Would highly recommend!

We had a great stay! From the beautiful house (architectural gem) to the amazing wide open spaces outside, to the convenience of being close to Pioneertown and Joshua Tree, we could not have been more pleased. The house has everything you need for some R&R and such peace and quiet! The outdoors are truly amazing from sunrise to sunset. Made me forget about LA and the noise and traffic! That alone is worth the price!! We will be back! Thanks!

10/10. This is one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve ever stayed at. They’ve paid attention to every detail. The pictures and description don’t do it justice. The kitchen has everything you need …. down to the microplane and garlic press. The beds and lines are so comfortable. And the views and setting are beatable. We’ll be back

Minimalistic home where you are part of nature. If you get your food before check in you probably don’t need to step out at all. I traveled solo n enjoyed every bit of it! This is what Airbnbs are meant to be unique n memorable
- Review Date: 11/25/2022

Beautiful views in the perfect location. You are in the middle of nowhere but still close enough to everything you'd need. The stars out there are incredible. We spent our honeymoon here and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! I'd say we're likely to stay here again but we might just move out there permanently before we get the chance! Absolutely gorgeous
- Review Date: 11/16/2022

Wonderful location (down a dirt road), very private with beautiful views. Comfy layout and beds. Very tiny bathrooms. Could have been a 4+ star stay but the home needed maintenance - master shower would not produce water and sink didn't drain, washing machine was filled with mold, two stove burners were broken, oven and hand appliances weren't clean. Some areas were quite clean - pretty concrete floor, inside fridge. Good array of kitchen tools. We didn't try out the spa.

Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for your feedback and we are so sorry this is never the experience we want a guest to feel they had. As we have high standards, our team has addressed/looked into everything that was reported. We wish you would have reported everything right away and not at check out to have given us a chance to fix it when you were here. We hope to have the chance to host you again and show you a better experience.

The place was wonderful; very peaceful, comfortable, well stocked kitchen supplies.

This may be my favorite rental that I've ever got.. in my entire life! So peaceful So beautiful! The house itself was modern, clean, and so well equipped that we really just needed to bring clothes. The sunrise from the back patio was mesmerizing. The sunset through the window in the kitchen was just as amazing. It's close enough to town to get what you need, but far away to have complete silence when you want. I can't say enough about how beautiful the desert landscape at the house, and in the entire area, is. I can't wait to come back...with the kids next time!

I loved my stay at Hawk & Mesa! Already can't wait to go back. The pictures speak for themselves - this place is absolutely as gorgeous as it looks. The home itself and surrounding backyard/nature feel completely remote despite being a mere 20 min drive from civilization and basic needs like groceries and gas. The place was spotless upon check in and has every amenity you could need - towels, linens, soaps, shampoo, lotion, hair dryer, kitchen appliances, utensils, wine opener, cleaning supplies - you name it. Everything is very clearly labeled or with instructions on how to use it. I could not get enough of the patio area, everything was so serene and peaceful. There was even a hiking trail that runs directly from the backyard for a few miles into the hills. A perfect place to come escape the chaos of every day life and get in touch with nature. Would recommend to anyone looking for a remote, relaxing stay.

This place is magical, super serene and private. Great for relaxing and watching wildlife and stargazing. ~15-20 min away from grocery stores and super easy. It is also super comfortable and felt like home. The wifi works great even though there is no cell reception, the kitchen is SUPER well equipped with bonuses like a panini maker and blender, and the house stays cool throughout the day with minimal AC usage even in high-90 degree weather due to the large overhangs that keep the whole house cool. We saw hawks, two coyotes. On the last day, we saw a young bobcat that walked right through the back patio about 10 feet from the house (watch your dogs!). SO COOL! Can’t wait to come back.

This place is somehow better in person. The views are insane and we’ve never felt so much privacy on a stay. You have complete seclusion but can be at a grocery store in 15 minutes. This place was so clean it felt better than a high end hotel, it’s hard to believe anyone else has ever stayed there. The views, as mentioned, absolutely beautiful and we loved our time in the hot tub. If you’re looking for a place to unplug, this is the spot. Also, for those curious, WiFi worked great. We streamed, Netflix, Hulu, etc, with no issues.

- Review Date: 8/1/2021

The place was exactly what we needed and wanted and solving two things would have made it 100% perfect. First with the good - the place is as advertised with the interior and exterior better than or just as good as the photos show. It's a beautiful place to spend a few days (or longer). We were working remotely there and the internet was reliable and fast for multiple people to be on Zoom at the same time. The kitchen was very well stocked and the cooking facilities were all working great. The grocery store (Von's, Walmart) is a 15-20min drive away so it's not that bad and there's even a Starbucks ;-). The linens and beds were all super comfortable and soft. The outdoor space was beautiful and well-maintained. Super happy the place was dog friendly and we got a chance to stay there. I would absolutely go back multiple times if it weren't for the pretty big issue we had on check-in that tarnished a bit of the experience. If you are considering it and are good with the price I would highly recommend you go and just hope that nothing goes wrong because it's perfect if nothing does. Now for the only negatives (and 1 nitpick): - When we arrived on a 110 degree day the A/C was not working. It took multiple hours of property manager, then technician, coming out to fix it. This was not an insignificant nuisance and while I understand that it happens I was hoping for Homestead to do more for us than fix the problem. The first day was essentially a wash as the A/C didn't get fixed until dinner (imagine sitting at 90 degrees inside and outside finally cooling down to about the same temp around 6-7p), which meant interruptions to almost a full day of the time we were hoping to spend away from other people and alone. I loved the place so want to come back but knowing 1) how long it takes for something to get fixed, 2) how bad it can be given you're operating in extremes if something breaks (i.e., very very hot out, far from help) , and 3) after the fact, Homestead did not try and make it right (e.g., partial refund) I'm not sure this is the place we will choose to come back to. - The water pressure in one of the bathrooms (sadly, the master bathroom) was too low (barely enough for a comfortable shower) so we never used it and ended up using the second (guest) bathroom instead to shower since it was far better. If water pressure is critical for you consider wisely which room you choose if you have 4 people here. - The couch is shallow and not particularly cozy/comfy. If you like to lounge on couch in the living room with a movie just FYI this won't be super satisfying :)

The most amazing Airbnb experience we’ve had. The place is awesome - great view, great interior, super private. The host is very responsive and the place has everything you need. We were originally worried about the WiFi since it’s satellite, but it turned out to be surprisingly usable and we didn’t have any issues. We’ll be back!

Really a perfect Airbnb stay. Fantastic house that perfectly blends architecture with its natural surroundings. Speaking of, the location is even better in person than the photos. This is a place I could have stayed at for much longer. Pro management and ease of rental. Will return.

This is more than a stunning house, it’s an amazing experience! The location is spectacular, the home gorgeous & well stocked, we loved hiking on the 120 acres, especially in the heat, we didn’t have to make the trek to busy JT park. And peaceful sunsets with cocktails & unobstructed views was sublime. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we can’t wait to come back!

We definitely recommend this to all travelers who are thinking of a mountain getaway in Joshua tree area. That house is really special and you feel like you are completely surrounded on all sides by the most gorgeous scenery. The glass windows make you feel like you’re outdoors.The cowboy tub is really great.we felt serene and relaxed after our stay. The host would respond to any question right away. There are many services that they offer such as desert flowers, vegetarian barbecue basket for the grill and special cowboy blankets that you can buy… The road is A little rough and it is a little rocky so you may want to rent a jeep. We had a sprinter van and it made it fine but it was a little bit bumpy. If you are looking for a rustic getaway he will absolutely love this and there are a lot of amazing things nearby to do. We went horseback riding and we took an amazing tour of the Joshua tree area. This is a hidden gem.

This place is really legit. Clean, gorgeous, secluded. Truly delivers on everything promised and imagined in ways that most places just do not.
- Review Date: 6/11/2021

Hawk + Mesa was an amazing getaway and the perfect base for exploring the Joshua Tree area. It was my first time, and the home was an incredible introduction to the Mojave desert. The views, landscape and accommodations were perfect, with so many details well considered and attended to. Communication with the hosts was great — good details and very responsive. There was definitely no phone signal, but the WiFi worked great. Every evening we spent lounging out in the patio, watching local wildlife and the multicolored skies. I would definitely stay again!

This place is truly outstanding. The patio and fire pit are awesome at night, and you can see all the stars really clearly. The hot tub and cowboy tub were really cool and very fun too. The place was beautifully designed and had really nice appliances/silverware/towels etc.. very high quality! We can’t wait to go back.

Hawk & Mesa was an amazing place to stay. Besides the amazing house, the views from the back are beyond amazing watching the sun and moon rises was awesome. The house itself is design great and all the kitchen tools were a joy to cook in. Highly recommend!

You absolutely cannot go wrong with this wonderful spot. If it’s available—take it! From the style of the home, to the dinnerware, everything is so thoughtful, clean, and comfortable. I was there for 3 days and I’m still not over how gorgeous it was! If you’re looking for peaceful getaway, this is it. I could go into more detail but it’s not necessary— everything was PERFECT.

An absolutely BEAUTIFUL home, inside and out. That happens to be located on a stunning piece of property with a 360* view of tranquilly serene desert landscape. Everything provided in the home is high end and top notch. The amenities are some of the better I have run across, from the cookware and appliances, to the finishes of the bathrooms, and the furniture.
- Review Date: 1/30/2021

We had an amazing time at this one of a kind property. The views are unparalleled. You have Ntl Park quality scenery all around you, and you can hike right out the back door. The house itself is just as gorgeous as the views and amenities like the picturesque fire pit and spa mean that you can enjoy the outdoors even in the winter. It snowed while we were there and it was nothing short of magical!

Hawk and Mesa was a reprieve; the reality of the house and the property is actually much better than the pictures ... which is hard to imagine. Even at night, it was easy to find and check-in was simple. The house was spotless. The interior decor is well-articulated, simple and flows into the architecture, the mesa, rocks, yucca trees and stars at night. Hawk and Mesa is silent; it is the place to turn off your phone, read a book, cook a meal, hike, sun-bathe, or watch the light blue sky of early morning bisect the horizon and plunging, pre-historic rock formations. The hot tub under Orion's Belt, the cowboy polar plunge and the friendly jack rabbits made for a weekend to remember.

We loved the floor to ceiling windows, was the perfect change of scenery for our family. It felt very private and was comfortable!

Review Date: 12/1/2024

My husband and I stayed here for several nights during a climbing trip to Joshua Tree, and it was fantastic! The property is serene and perfectly blends modern comforts with the natural beauty of the landscape. It felt like camping with all the luxuries of home. We especially enjoyed starting our mornings with coffee on the deck and ending our days stargazing from the hot tub—a truly magical experience. The home is thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, encouraging a deeper connection with the landscape. On a practical note, the water pressure was excellent, and the WiFi was strong and reliable throughout our stay, which was a huge bonus as we needed to work remotely. The hosts were incredibly responsive and friendly, making the entire process seamless. We’d absolutely love to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful yet comfortable retreat in Joshua Tree!

Beautiful property. From the home itself to the boundaries of the property line itself. Blissful silence, awe-inspiring clear night sky, and desert eye-candy all around. Stay here and you won’t regret it.

Review Date: 11/27/2024

Hawk and Mesa is stunning. It's the most peaceful airbnb I've ever rented. The sweeping desert views are even better in person than in the photographs. The hot tub under the stars is amazing. The house feels like an architectural gem. We drove to Joshua Tree to hike one day (about 40 minutes), but the other two days we were happy just to go for walks on the property. The house felt like such an oasis, we didn't want to leave. It's a 15-minute drive to Pioneertown, where you can get a good lunch at Pappy and Harriet's. The town of Yucca Valley is 20 minutes away; you might want to stop for groceries at Von's before you arrive. On the way back from Joshua Tree, Sky High Pizza is excellent. We arrived at night, which I don't recommend. It's not difficult to find in daylight, but it is a bit remote and the last mile is a dirt road, so it's easier if you arrive when there is still light. A gorgeous experience all around. Excellent hosts. Perfect house. I hope to return.

Review Date: 11/16/2024

An amazing stay in Pioneertown/Joshua Tree! The floor-to-ceiling windows make it feel like you're in nature no matter where you are in the house, and there are great tools for birdwatching and stargazing. The huge property allows you to really explore, even outside of hiking trails. And the many amenities outside - the patio area, the fire table, the hot tub, sitting areas, etc - make it a great space to hang out. Many Airbnbs (especially in this area, I find) look great in pictures and don't live up to them at all - that's absolutely not the case here. Homestead Modern is a well-oiled machine with a proper cleaning & management crew. Super comfy space to be at one with nature. We'll be back!

Review Date: 11/11/2024

There are not many places to visit where one can experience nothing but the serene sounds of nature. The back of this home bumps up against open land, open sky, and Joshua trees. Everything about this place was next to perfect. Unfortunately for me, I got food poisoning, and spent the entirety of our short stay mostly inside. (do not ever drink left over Starbucks that's left overnight in the car! yikes!) But I made the most of it! I watched the sunset and sunrise every morning wrapped up in a blanket-no two sunrises or sunsets were ever the same. Every afternoon, a covey of quail showed up on the back patio and the stargazing was awesome(definitely my husbands favorite part!) It wasn't exactly the 10 year wedding anniversary I had planned, but It was a memorable stay. We will definitely be coming back again some day. Two thumbs up!

Amazing views, private location, and clean design. Perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway.

One of the best and most unique rental I have been in. Perfect place to disconnect and be in touch with the nature. The house is amazing and fully stocked with all necessities. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a desert escape!

Review Date: 7/20/2024

Hawk and Mesa is a beautiful home. It was private with stunning views of the sunset, sunrise, and stars, and has everything you need. We were even able to see the sun rise in the morning and many stars at night from the bed!

Review Date: 7/9/2024

We had such a wonderful stay at this property. The house and location are absolutely perfect. It's situated off of the main road and is super private, creating an amazingly peaceful stay. Homestead Modern also left out a doggie bed & bowls, among other things, for my pup. They were super easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions. I'd highly recommend a stay here! We will be back.

Review Date: 7/8/2024

Although visiting the desert at the height of Summer is not ideal, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hawk and Mesa. We enjoyed sitting on the porch enjoying the view and the light breeze as the sun went down and the temperatures dropped considerably. We are in the market for a steel framed house and this beautiful home was a perfect example of what we want. We were also treated to a spectacular sight of Space X racing through the desert skyline. Thank you for making our stay a most pleasant one and anticipating our needs.

Review Date: 6/26/2024

This is my second time in this house, to be honest is one of my favorite properties from homestead modern, its very peaceful, close to everything yet very private and the view is out of this world. Will be back for sure, I travel many times a year to Joshua Tree and always stay with homestead, their properties never disappoint and their service is the best.

Review Date: 6/17/2024

This was by far one of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed in. The home is architecturally beautiful, comfortable, and well-stocked. The land on which the property sits is magical, with some of the best scenery and hikes you could imagine. Our stay was absolutely perfect. We even booked another night because we weren’t ready to leave. This place is a total gem that that you have to experience to believe. 10/10. There are no words that can do it justice. Just wow.

Review Date: 6/8/2024

Book this! Had us thinking about buying in the area. “Relaxing” doesn’t really do this property justice…it’s a pure disconnect from day to day hectic life and something you must feel for yourself. Will be returning in the future.

Review Date: 6/2/2024

My partner and I had an absolutely amazing evening, surrounded by the expansive natural setting that surrounds the property. Couldn’t have picked a better spot to disconnect and not look at other houses or cars. We honestly spent more time outside than in, but the home is very cozy and everything you need. I would definitely stay again.

Review Date: 5/23/2024

Wow, what an incredible find on Airbnb! My family and I had the most wonderful stay here. The atmosphere was incredibly serene and the surroundings were absolutely beautiful. We all wished we could have extended our stay! I highly recommend this gorgeous place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

The hi desert is magical and this home fits perfectly into the surroundings. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place. Incredible sunsets and if the moon is full, you can hike out with the coyotes at night with no flashlights. Beautiful spot I highly recommend.

Review Date: 3/28/2024

My wife and I originally booked for one night . We arrived at sun down. The next morning we saw the amazing views and decided to stay one more day. Beautiful views! walked around the property and explored. I highly recommend. It reminded us of a western movie.

Vivemos dias incríveis nesta na casa Hawk & Mesa. Casa moderna, minimalista e bem decorada/equipada. Vista de tirar o fólego, tranquilidade e privacidade. Fomos muito bem atendidos pelo Homestead Modern desde o primeiro contato. Pró-ativos, informações claras e agilidade nas respostas. Como adicional ainda nos deram dicas locais que foram muito úteis. Recomendo de olhos fechados e com certeza voltarei nesta casa.

Great location and beautiful house. Exactly like the pictures. We were stuck inside most of the time with bad weather but the house and location were so nice, we were happy. Very responsive support and thorough instructions. Secluded but everything you need is 10 to 15m away including the Red Saloon and Pappy and Harriets.

Review Date: 2/7/2024

We cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was. Having booked rather last-minute and never having traveled to that area, we really relied on the prior reviews and abundance of photos. It’s amazing to have such honest and thorough representation. This is the perfect place to disconnect and take advantage of the peace and remote surroundings. The home and setting is stunning, well-equipped, and the amenities are just as described. Amazing place to take in the sunrise, sunset, and stargazing in a truly tranquil space. We were sad to leave, but will be delighted to return again soon. Thank you!

Beautiful home tucked away and surrounded by nature. Private and peaceful. We watched the full moon rise over the mountains…incredible! Well appointed home with great amenities. We had a lovely time.

Review Date: 1/31/2024

This house and the private canyon are BEAUTIFUL — perfect little getaway for our post-holiday season retreat. We drove over from LA to work from home in the Joshua Tree area (Yucca/Pioneertown) and caught the tail end of the first meteor shower of 2024. The Hawk & Mesa house was perfect in every way. The design of the house is impeccable, positioned perfectly to view every colorful hue of the sunrise as it peaks over the eastern mountains from the wide windows of the living room. It was 30-40 deg F outdoors during our stay, but we saw a few shooting stars while stargazing all night from the warm jacuzzi. We also meandered around the canyon area for a sunset hike. If you take a moment to disconnect and be present in the outdoor environment of Hawk & Mesa, the tranquility and serenity of the space will surely heal and recharge. The house came with everything, as described. Check out Pappy & Harriet’s nearby for fire BBQ. We would definitely return when we need another local retreat.

Review Date: 1/17/2024

Solid homebase from where to explore the surroundings. The house borders something like a personal Joshua Tree Park right outside your door, ready for exploration. Boulder scrambling, ambling among groves ofJoshua trees and other spectacular geologies like large volcanic mesas. Add to that a well stocked house, the hot tub and the modern architecture and you will find that there is no need to go anywhere else, other than the occasional visit to Pappy and Harriet’s.

I am having trouble getting back a double cleaning fee and service fee but aside from that it was great.

Review Date: 12/28/2023

The Hawk and Mesa house was wonderful! My husband and I stayed here for just over a week and had the most relaxing time. We put 18 miles of hiking/running on that week, between the neighboring land and Joshua Tree National Park. The house was perfect and the view was beautiful - and our little coyote friend who showed up on the patio one morning was an added bonus! We would highly recommend Hawk and Mesa for anyone looking to get away from the noise and busyness of city life!

Review Date: 12/10/2023

This was our second time staying at Hawk and Mesa. It is like your own private national park, right outside the door. Absolutely beautiful inside and out! We will definitely be back! Thank you!

This place is amazing in every way. This is my second time to this very location and man, it’s so peaceful and relaxing. I’ll definitely be returning again.

What a stunning place! The house was absolutely perfect and immaculate. The views were jaw dropping. I enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset every day. A perfectly peaceful place to get away from it all!

Beautiful inside and out. Great location and well designed. Wanted to see the Milky Way Galaxy and this space was an amazing place to do that. Great set up with bedrooms on opposite sides. Nice open kitchen / dining concept. All the necessary things present. The cowboy tub was a welcomed addition with how hot it was.

Review Date: 8/22/2023

Best stay in the area, hands down. Beautiful grounds for hiking, it’s private, secluded, has modern amenities, and the listing looks just like the photos. Great location!!! The views out the back porch are insane. The mornings are great, Sunsets are beautiful and nights under the stars in the hot tub are probably as good as it gets. It’s truly an amazing spot. Clean and minimal space. Loved it. Plus it’s not far from town. Responsive hosts also made the trip that much better! Just book it already..

Review Date: 8/12/2023

Absolutely beautiful property! Was exactly what we needed to unwind & destress. So cozy, you instantly feel right at home. Full kitchen was great for cooking meals along with the grill outside Waking up to that view never got old! We will def be back!

What an absolute gem in the high-desert. The house was clean, pretty, and had the amenities that were necessary to make it a great stay. Not to mention the puppies were absolutely comfortable on the cool, concrete floors! What a well designed home. Can't wait to come back and make it a tradition :)

Review Date: 7/12/2023

This was our second trip to Yucca Valley. The Hawk+Mesa was the better venue in my personal opinion. It definitely feels more expensive than the other listings at first. However, when we saw the moon rising behind the mountains from the patio during our first night, it was totally worth it. I never saw a moon rise that beautiful in my whole life. The place is so private and quite that you can just relax doing nothing just lying in the lounge bed. We had minor problems, but the host was very responsive and helpful to make us feel comfortable. I’d definitely try to visit the place again if I get a chance ??

Review Date: 7/6/2023

We absolutely LOVED our stay here! It's private, peaceful, secluded and a gorgeous architectural marvel perfect for a weekend of relaxing, hiking and stargazing. Huge windows, comfy bed, the views were perfection. If you love nature and are looking for a true getaway from city life to enjoy the desert in complete privacy, this is what you're looking for. I only wish we stayed longer and had more time to hike the property because there is so much to see!!

Review Date: 6/23/2023

I had such an amazing time here! And the scenery is so beautiful and perfect. I hope to absolutely come back, I had the most refreshing stay. I cooked a nice meal, enjoyed the hot tub outside in the silence of nature. And slept like baby. It felt like a home away from home. I wish I could’ve stayed longer

Review Date: 6/9/2023

Lovely stay, beautiful location, well appointed and maintained property! We had a wonderful time - and wanted to share that if the wind is getting in the way of grilling, use some aluminum foil to block the vents at the back of the BBQ. Worked like a charm for us so we could keep cooking outdoors even during the strongest winds in the afternoon!

Review Date: 6/6/2023

This was our second time back at Hawk + Mesa and it was just as special as ever. It’s our favorite place to stay in the area. You can’t beat the privacy, views and closeness to mother nature. Good vibes all around. Homestead Modern was super responsive and accommodating.

Review Date: 5/17/2023

A truly lovely home that was a much needed escape from city life. A serene stay complemented by beautiful scenery and a pristine house. We booked Hawk & Mesa last minute for a change of scenery and were pleased with our decision. Rather than stay in the mix of everything in Joshua Tree or Palm Springs, the home offered a bit of peaceful seclusion, which we were looking for in this particular case. We went on a hike, utilized the grill, watched a movie, and sat by the fire outside to enjoy the surroundings. Big plus was they not only welcomed us, but our well-trained dog. They were prepared inside with a dog bed, bowls, and other things. Beautifully well-kept interior and exterior, we felt right at home. Would highly recommend!

Review Date: 2/21/2023

We had a great stay! From the beautiful house (architectural gem) to the amazing wide open spaces outside, to the convenience of being close to Pioneertown and Joshua Tree, we could not have been more pleased. The house has everything you need for some R&R and such peace and quiet! The outdoors are truly amazing from sunrise to sunset. Made me forget about LA and the noise and traffic! That alone is worth the price!! We will be back! Thanks!

10/10. This is one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve ever stayed at. They’ve paid attention to every detail. The pictures and description don’t do it justice. The kitchen has everything you need …. down to the microplane and garlic press. The beds and lines are so comfortable. And the views and setting are beatable. We’ll be back

Review Date: 1/14/2023

We’ve stayed at a dozen or more Homestead Modern’s properties and they never let you us down. Always a great experience. Every time we’re looking to head out to Yucca Valley, Homestead is our first choice.

Review Date: 12/20/2022

Minimalistic home where you are part of nature. If you get your food before check in you probably don’t need to step out at all. I traveled solo n enjoyed every bit of it! This is what Airbnbs are meant to be unique n memorable

Review Date: 11/25/2022

Beautiful views in the perfect location. You are in the middle of nowhere but still close enough to everything you'd need. The stars out there are incredible. We spent our honeymoon here and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! I'd say we're likely to stay here again but we might just move out there permanently before we get the chance! Absolutely gorgeous

Review Date: 11/16/2022

Wonderful location (down a dirt road), very private with beautiful views. Comfy layout and beds. Very tiny bathrooms. Could have been a 4+ star stay but the home needed maintenance - master shower would not produce water and sink didn't drain, washing machine was filled with mold, two stove burners were broken, oven and hand appliances weren't clean. Some areas were quite clean - pretty concrete floor, inside fridge. Good array of kitchen tools. We didn't try out the spa.

Review Date: 11/4/2022

The place was wonderful; very peaceful, comfortable, well stocked kitchen supplies. Homestead Modern were great with communication, including when the entire area went into a blackout for a few hours (nothing they could control). The jacuzzi was incredibly relaxing and the quiet and isolation of the are was amazing. I will definitely consider staying here again

Review Date: 11/2/2022

Serene, safe, clean and beautiful. Stayed for a little under a week and it had everything you could need! It gets super dark and quiet at night, perfect for stargazing. It's a great location to clear your mind or connect with yourself. Loved every second of it! Thanks again!

Review Date: 10/13/2022

This may be my favorite rental that I've ever got.. in my entire life! So peaceful So beautiful! The house itself was modern, clean, and so well equipped that we really just needed to bring clothes. The sunrise from the back patio was mesmerizing. The sunset through the window in the kitchen was just as amazing. It's close enough to town to get what you need, but far away to have complete silence when you want. I can't say enough about how beautiful the desert landscape at the house, and in the entire area, is. I can't wait to come back...with the kids next time!

Review Date: 10/12/2022

Great experience, wonderful location. Would definitely return. If you're bringing a pet, be wary of cactus spines on the trails surrounding the property. Definitely had a pull a few our of my pup's paws post-hiking.

The property is exactly as described. Modern and minimally designed with clean lines and exquisite details. The place was truly spotless. The location is quite literally out of this world! Check in was seamless and we had everything we need

The pictures do not do the surrounding land justice. It was such a great relaxing getaway and the house was very well stocked with all the amenities we could ask for. I will definitely be back for a longer stay to really hike the 120 acres of land.

Review Date: 8/15/2022

Awesome place... wonderful view with privacy and everything in between. We came as a couple but the would be fun with an additional couple. Beds are comfortable and the views from your bed enjoyable. We used the outdoor area.. hot tub and dining areas. Drinks by the fire pit and down over looking the wash. A nice location with easy drive up town. Loved out visit.

This is the ultimate Mojave Desert getaway for a family of four or 1-2 couples. It is completely private, obscenely comfortable, and incredibly peaceful in every respect. I can’t wait to come back!!

Review Date: 7/29/2022

I loved my stay at Hawk & Mesa! Already can't wait to go back. The pictures speak for themselves - this place is absolutely as gorgeous as it looks. The home itself and surrounding backyard/nature feel completely remote despite being a mere 20 min drive from civilization and basic needs like groceries and gas. The place was spotless upon check in and has every amenity you could need - towels, linens, soaps, shampoo, lotion, hair dryer, kitchen appliances, utensils, wine opener, cleaning supplies - you name it. Everything is very clearly labeled or with instructions on how to use it. I could not get enough of the patio area, everything was so serene and peaceful. There was even a hiking trail that runs directly from the backyard for a few miles into the hills. A perfect place to come escape the chaos of every day life and get in touch with nature. Would recommend to anyone looking for a remote, relaxing stay.

Review Date: 7/12/2022

This place is magical, super serene and private. Great for relaxing and watching wildlife and stargazing. ~15-20 min away from grocery stores and super easy. It is also super comfortable and felt like home. The wifi works great even though there is no cell reception, the kitchen is SUPER well equipped with bonuses like a panini maker and blender, and the house stays cool throughout the day with minimal AC usage even in high-90 degree weather due to the large overhangs that keep the whole house cool. We saw hawks, two coyotes. On the last day, we saw a young bobcat that walked right through the back patio about 10 feet from the house (watch your dogs!). SO COOL! Can’t wait to come back.

This is paradise in the desert. This is it. Nothing gets better than this. There aren’t enough superlatives for Hawk and Mesa. Your own little slice of the desert with the most amazing views of the stars. Not to mention the cleanliness and modernness of the house itself. Paradise.

This place is somehow better in person. The views are insane and we’ve never felt so much privacy on a stay. You have complete seclusion but can be at a grocery store in 15 minutes. This place was so clean it felt better than a high end hotel, it’s hard to believe anyone else has ever stayed there. The views, as mentioned, absolutely beautiful and we loved our time in the hot tub. If you’re looking for a place to unplug, this is the spot. Also, for those curious, WiFi worked great. We streamed, Netflix, Hulu, etc, with no issues.

Amazing location and house, we could have stayed longer. Watching the sunrises and sunsets via the East and West facing windows is just magical. We’d have dinner at sunset then just watch the twilight take over then the stars come out while leaving the lights out the whole time, such a relaxing and beautiful experience.

Hawk and Mesa was a gorgeous property with stunning views. We had a great time walking around the property. The house was immaculate and had all the amenities you could ever need.

The view and location are stunning. Literally the reason to book the house. It is peaceful and magical. Watching sunrise and the Milky Way from the hot tub is amazing. You feel like you are in the park with the landscape. Really relaxing and beautiful.

The place was exactly what we needed and wanted and solving two things would have made it 100% perfect. First with the good - the place is as advertised with the interior and exterior better than or just as good as the photos show. It's a beautiful place to spend a few days (or longer). We were working remotely there and the internet was reliable and fast for multiple people to be on Zoom at the same time. The kitchen was very well stocked and the cooking facilities were all working great. The grocery store (Von's, Walmart) is a 15-20min drive away so it's not that bad and there's even a Starbucks ;-). The linens and beds were all super comfortable and soft. The outdoor space was beautiful and well-maintained. Super happy the place was dog friendly and we got a chance to stay there. I would absolutely go back multiple times if it weren't for the pretty big issue we had on check-in that tarnished a bit of the experience. If you are considering it and are good with the price I would highly recommend you go and just hope that nothing goes wrong because it's perfect if nothing does. Now for the only negatives (and 1 nitpick): - When we arrived on a 110 degree day the A/C was not working. It took multiple hours of property manager, then technician, coming out to fix it. This was not an insignificant nuisance and while I understand that it happens I was hoping for Homestead to do more for us than fix the problem. The first day was essentially a wash as the A/C didn't get fixed until dinner (imagine sitting at 90 degrees inside and outside finally cooling down to about the same temp around 6-7p), which meant interruptions to almost a full day of the time we were hoping to spend away from other people and alone. I loved the place so want to come back but knowing 1) how long it takes for something to get fixed, 2) how bad it can be given you're operating in extremes if something breaks (i.e., very very hot out, far from help) , and 3) after the fact, Homestead did not try and make it right (e.g., partial refund) I'm not sure this is the place we will choose to come back to. - The water pressure in one of the bathrooms (sadly, the master bathroom) was too low (barely enough for a comfortable shower) so we never used it and ended up using the second (guest) bathroom instead to shower since it was far better. If water pressure is critical for you consider wisely which room you choose if you have 4 people here. - The couch is shallow and not particularly cozy/comfy. If you like to lounge on couch in the living room with a movie just FYI this won't be super satisfying :)

The most amazing Airbnb experience we’ve had. The place is awesome - great view, great interior, super private. The host is very responsive and the place has everything you need. We were originally worried about the WiFi since it’s satellite, but it turned out to be surprisingly usable and we didn’t have any issues. We’ll be back!

Really a perfect Airbnb stay. Fantastic house that perfectly blends architecture with its natural surroundings. Speaking of, the location is even better in person than the photos. This is a place I could have stayed at for much longer. Pro management and ease of rental. Will return.

This is more than a stunning house, it’s an amazing experience! The location is spectacular, the home gorgeous & well stocked, we loved hiking on the 120 acres, especially in the heat, we didn’t have to make the trek to busy JT park. And peaceful sunsets with cocktails & unobstructed views was sublime. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we can’t wait to come back!

We definitely recommend this to all travelers who are thinking of a mountain getaway in Joshua tree area. That house is really special and you feel like you are completely surrounded on all sides by the most gorgeous scenery. The glass windows make you feel like you’re outdoors.The cowboy tub is really great.we felt serene and relaxed after our stay. The host would respond to any question right away. There are many services that they offer such as desert flowers, vegetarian barbecue basket for the grill and special cowboy blankets that you can buy… The road is A little rough and it is a little rocky so you may want to rent a jeep. We had a sprinter van and it made it fine but it was a little bit bumpy. If you are looking for a rustic getaway he will absolutely love this and there are a lot of amazing things nearby to do. We went horseback riding and we took an amazing tour of the Joshua tree area. This is a hidden gem.

Hawk + Mesa was an amazing getaway and the perfect base for exploring the Joshua Tree area. It was my first time, and the home was an incredible introduction to the Mojave desert. The views, landscape and accommodations were perfect, with so many details well considered and attended to. Communication with the hosts was great — good details and very responsive. There was definitely no phone signal, but the WiFi worked great. Every evening we spent lounging out in the patio, watching local wildlife and the multicolored skies. I would definitely stay again!

We could not have asked for a better stay. Everything about this place is absolutely perfect—beautiful design, secluded and so serene. Can’t wait to return. Thanks for having us!

This place is truly outstanding. The patio and fire pit are awesome at night, and you can see all the stars really clearly. The hot tub and cowboy tub were really cool and very fun too. The place was beautifully designed and had really nice appliances/silverware/towels etc.. very high quality! We can’t wait to go back.

The property is absolutely breathtaking. Loved hiking around the area and taking in the amazing views! Everything was spotless and easy to find. Couldn't have asked for a better first experience in Joshua Tree!

Hawk & Mesa was an amazing place to stay. Besides the amazing house, the views from the back are beyond amazing watching the sun and moon rises was awesome. The house itself is design great and all the kitchen tools were a joy to cook in. Highly recommend!

You absolutely cannot go wrong with this wonderful spot. If it’s available—take it! From the style of the home, to the dinnerware, everything is so thoughtful, clean, and comfortable. I was there for 3 days and I’m still not over how gorgeous it was! If you’re looking for peaceful getaway, this is it. I could go into more detail but it’s not necessary— everything was PERFECT.

An absolutely BEAUTIFUL home, inside and out. That happens to be located on a stunning piece of property with a 360* view of tranquilly serene desert landscape. Everything provided in the home is high end and top notch. The amenities are some of the better I have run across, from the cookware and appliances, to the finishes of the bathrooms, and the furniture.

We had an amazing time at this one of a kind property. The views are unparalleled. You have Ntl Park quality scenery all around you, and you can hike right out the back door. The house itself is just as gorgeous as the views and amenities like the picturesque fire pit and spa mean that you can enjoy the outdoors even in the winter. It snowed while we were there and it was nothing short of magical!
