High Desert Fade | Pioneertown | Homestead Modern, LLC

Location

Description

Summary

In an enchanting canyon, impressive boulder formations stand sentinel over Hi-Desert Fade-an innovative new home that fuses sleek architecture with artisan warmth. The light gauge steel frame allows the structure to float above the native landscape; the effect lends a sense of weightlessness to the home’s distinct character. The outdoor areas are optimized for enjoyment w/ a cowboy tub style pool, hot tub, bocce court & fire-pit.

Pappy & Harriet’s -->8 Min Drive

Space

Brought to life with the help of Homestead Modern, Hi-Desert Fade sits in a rocky canyon among ancient pinyon pine trees whose roots sustain the trees by following — and further opening — cracks in the rock where water accumulates. Among the diverse fauna dotting the floor of the canyon are desert scrub oaks, Joshua trees, yuccas, cholla, and creosote.

The canyon is sparsely populated and largely undeveloped. The dirt road that leads to Hi-Desert Fade dead ends just to the west, where the canyon abuts on endless wilderness. Members of the small, private community share a deep regard for the serene remoteness and ecological vibrance of the area. The vistas and geologic formations rival the most striking destinations in the National Park.

Hiking opportunities abound and bird watching is remarkably worthwhile throughout the year. Listen carefully after a rain storm — you’ll notice a rare desert soundtrack as waterfalls and washes spring to life. Most winters bring at least a dusting of snow — a surreal sight to behold against the desert landscape.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO USE OF OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV) IN THIS AREA.

Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Recent Guests:

-”Beautiful, contemporary home nestled in the rocks. Top of the line outdoor kitchen, most comfortable bed & luxurious linens. Thoughtful touches everywhere. We enjoyed our stay & I would definitely come again.” -Adam

-”The location is perfect, totally secluded with beautiful scenic views. The house is absolutely incredible - so modern and very cozy!" -Amelia

-”You are surrounded by these giant rocks all around you. The cowboy tub and jacuzzi were perfect to spend some time in.The hammocks are great to lay on at night and watch the stars. The house has floor-to-ceiling windows with automatic shades. The views are stunning. It is a beautiful desert!” -Tina

-BEDS & BATHS-
This two bedroom home can comfortably sleep up to 4 guests. Private, adjoining patios and floor to ceiling windows encourage movement between indoor and outdoor spaces. Each bedroom features a California king bed, Parachute Linens, Blacksaw alpaca textiles, and a desk to write or work.
Both bathrooms include walk-in showers, and a washer and dryer are available for any laundry needs. For maximum privacy, the two bedrooms and baths are located on opposite ends of the house.

-KITCHEN & DINING-
The kitchen, dining area and living room are positioned in the open center of the house, where 13 foot ceilings and soaring walls of glass frame the majesty of the desert backdrop.

This kitchen is equipped with a Wolf Range, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher, and the drawers are stocked with dishes and utensils. With Le Creuset bakeware, a Kitchen-aid Mixer, and an abundance of serving trays, this kitchen is a chef’s dream! There’s also a coffee maker, french press and blender so you can whip up your morning beverage of choice.

The warm, wood dining table and Danish Raholt dining chairs accommodate six people. The outdoor dining table is located on the main deck, which extends the length of the house. We recommend at least one meal under the stars; with so little light pollution in the canyon, the night sky’s constellations are especially brilliant.

-LIVING SPACE-
Although you might be tempted to forgo technology during your stay, the living room has a smart TV and bluetooth speaker so you can stream your favorite shows. Prepare a drink at the bar, grab a Phaidon design book, and settle in among vintage bedouin pillows while the sun sets across the boulders.

-OUTDOOR SPACE-
The house offers generous shaded sitting areas outside for comfort, even at the height of summer. A propane fire feature invites guests to pull chairs close for magical nights, even when the weather turns cool.

After a day of activities, follow a short path to a secluded group of boulders where a hot tub awaits, along with a “cowboy tub” — a repurposed galvanized stock tank offering cool dips in warm weather. Hammocks and a Petanque court are scattered in different corners of the property! ATVs and dirt bikes are not allowed on this property and cannot be used off road in this neighborhood.

-ESSENTIALS-
Parking is available for at least 3 vehicles.

The property is equipped with WiFi, heating, and air conditioning.

-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 Hi-Desert Fade. 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.

This was my second stay in two years. This time I stayed for two nights. My friend, visiting from Tokyo, was blown away by the surroundings and the home interior. And the kitchen is quite nice, we cooked and enjoyed the nature. It is a special location that I comeback again and again when important friends visit me in Los Angeles. Highly recommended.
- Review Date: 12/18/2024

This home is absolutely beautiful and the location is so private and serene. We went with two couples and the house was perfect with two primary suites on opposite ends of the home. The kitchen was so well stocked. We all loved the home!
- Review Date: 11/18/2024

We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beauty and privacy of the home and that the layout worked perfectly for your group. It’s great to know the well-stocked kitchen added to your experience as well. We’d love to host you all again in the future!

Gorgeous location! Peaceful, big starry skies, fascinating construction. Two of our party spent a lot of time talking about the interesting architectural details. Also- I ditto all of the other glowing comments on Airbnb.
- Review Date: 10/8/2024

We are so happy to hear this and hope to host you all again!

Response Date: 10/14/2024

Extremely beautiful and peaceful, our stay was beyond impressive. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Everything you could possibly need in a kitchen or appliances and amenities. You feel right at home just by showing up. Even gave us jugs of water to stay hydrated!
- Review Date: 9/18/2024

Great place! Would definitely rent again
- Review Date: 8/25/2024

Great stay ! Can’t recommend enough!
- Review Date: 8/11/2024

If you want to feel cut off from the world and learn what the sound of silence and nature is, this is the place for you! This home is very thoughtful. I loved all the ways you can BE in this space. And while the house itself is wonderful the real star of the show is the surrounding area. Everywhere you look is beauty. What a wonderful place to TRULY get away! We enjoyed every minute of it!
- Review Date: 7/28/2024

If you are looking for a great peaceful place to stay this is the place to be. The property was so beautiful inside and out. We enjoyed how peaceful it was during the day & how dark it got at night . The kitchen was full of things to use . I love making drinks and there was a bar cart with everything that I needed . The beds were super comfortable and all rooms had a great view of the outdoors . We will definitely be staying again next time we will bring our family. Be sure to use the cow boy pool & jacuzzi we didn’t get to use it because we loved being inside and just relaxing
- Review Date: 7/25/2024

We LOVED this house. It was an epic home base for a few short day trips to Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. The views are so beautiful and the quiet is pretty amazing. The house is full of amenities and super clean. We saw a fair amount of ants but we were expecting that based on the thorough description. They weren’t a problem but I would recommend keeping all food in the fridge to not attract them. It was 10/10 experience- highly recommend.
- Review Date: 7/22/2024

This place was a home away from home and extremely gorgeous, the decor was warm and welcoming. The location quiet and secluded enough to feel like your alone in the beautiful starry mountains. It was close by many stores and restaurants, the owners placed a binder at the entrance that was full of recommendations on different places to go nearby. Mostly we loved how CLEAN it was. The hot tub and cowboy pool we enjoyed the most! Oh and did I mention Joshua Tree is lol 15-20 min away from this place!! We didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit but loved that it was electric and in a great spot, will definitely coming back soon!!
- Review Date: 7/16/2024

Absolutely beautiful and unique location. This house is great for an escape from regular life. The kitchen was one of the most well equipped of any rental I’ve ever been to. There are many excellent restaurants nearby but we were just as happy to stay in and cook. There is a lot to love about this house but we especially enjoyed the cowboy and hot tubs in the evenings. If you want to enjoy all the comforts of modern life in the middle of the desert look no further.
- Review Date: 7/9/2024

The perfect peaceful weekend getaway. Beautiful property and amazing amenities! Thank you!
- Review Date: 7/3/2024

Wow, what a beautiful, tranquil and amazing house in an incredible location. We absolutely loved our time here and it has to be the best equipped house we have ever stayed in. We only wish our trip was longer, but we will be back!
- Review Date: 6/28/2024

Wonderful stay. Beautiful setting. The best lodging experience around the Joshua Tree area that I have experienced. Highly recommended.
- Review Date: 6/26/2024

This property is so beautiful and peaceful. We didn’t want to leave. Homestead Modern has thought of everything and the whole experience is first rate. We’d love to return someday.
- Review Date: 6/13/2024

House was clean, secluded, and well stocked. We had a great time.
- Review Date: 5/30/2024

Beautiful Airbnb in a beautiful area! Very peaceful - feels secluded. Kitchen amazingly well stocked. Checkin easy and communication with the host prompt and helpful! Would definitely stay here again when I return back to the area!
- Review Date: 5/12/2024

Our two-night stay at Hi-Desert Fade was truly remarkable. Tucked away yet conveniently close to amenities, the property offered serene seclusion. The living spaces, sleeping quarters, and bathrooms were immaculate and clutter-free, providing a welcoming retreat. The well-stocked kitchen made cooking effortless. However, the highlight was undoubtedly stargazing from the hot tub, a mesmerizing experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Hi-Desert Fade for a tranquil desert getaway.
- Review Date: 5/10/2024

This place is awesome. The house was super clean, with comfortable beds and linens. The kitchen was amazing with quality appliances and utensils, that made cooking a joy rather than a task. Being so far away from stores and restaurants it was nice to have such a fully functioning kitchen/barbeque area. The setting is beautiful with large rock outcroppings on both sides of the house. The floor to ceiling windows enhanced the views and framed the natural environment nicely. We really enjoyed our stay. The satellite internet worked well, while we were there, but there was zero Verizon cell coverage, which I enjoyed, but maybe difficult for people who need to be totally connected to the outside world.
- Review Date: 5/1/2024

Amazing place. With a James Bond touch. A lot of material in the kitchen, cool surroundings and nice hikes. We will be back for several nights.
- Review Date: 4/16/2024

This was my favorite Airbnb I have EVER stayed in. Countless amenities, beautiful details and such an inspiring space. But what stood out to us the most was the LOCATION, nestled between epic rock formations • priceless views from every direction. It’s secluded, peaceful and truly otherworldly. Could not recommend this space enough. Book it!
- Review Date: 4/14/2024

Secluded stay in a beautiful home.
- Review Date: 4/12/2024

Lovely place to stay!
- Review Date: 4/11/2024

Would highly recommend. Amazing place! Fairly easy to find. Amazing views. Very clean and great amenities.
- Review Date: 4/6/2024

We loved our stay here so much. Before we left we were already planning our next visit. The hosts are so thoughtful and have stocked the house with so many essentials. Their kitchen supplies are the most impressive I’ve ever seen. The host was responsive and helpful when we couldn’t figure out how to get the heater working when we first got there (it was working in no time). You will not regret choosing this as a place to stay especially if you plan to cook, bake, BBQ etc.. We can’t wait to visit again!
- Review Date: 4/4/2024

The perfect secluded sanctuary. Being from LA this was an ideal escape. Tranquil, quiet and very private. The surrounding environment was better than some of the national parks in that area in its remarkable beauty. Pics don’t do it justice. The home itself had everything you could possibly need to hunker down. As an avid cook I was thrilled with how equipped the kitchen was. I wrote down names of plates and tools so I can later buy the goods - it was that well curated. Thank you so much for this unforgettable trip.

A Chic Retreat for Cooking Enthusiasts! Great stay in a very stylish place. Location nestled in among the rocks felt very private, and the modern space was gorgeous. Never got tired of looking out of the giant windows at the fantastic landscape. Best of all -- EXTREMELY WELL APPOINTED KITCHEN. We love to cook, but on vacation it can be hard making do with the basics. Not the case here! This kitchen has everything, from cast iron, to meat thermometers, to cook's knives, to all sorts of mixing/measuring/serving dishes and utensils. Truly, we wanted for nothing, no making do. Overall, delightful and restful stay. Thanks!

We just returned from our second stay at HI Desert Fade & will be booking again for next year. This is our most favorite airbnb. The communication is within minutes if you have questions & is very easy to find when you follow their directions. So much to say about this space & I know I may not do it justice. While the pictures are perfect, you have to see it to believe it. The home is so well done & the surroundings are breathtaking. The views never get old. The kitchen is THE MOST well stocked kitchen you've ever seen. They truly have thought of everything! Appliances are top notch & literally have everything you could possibly need. The home is beyond clean & beautifully decorated!! We discovered so many more fun places to eat & drink this stay. There is a book with their suggestions- Pappy & Harriets, Red Dog Saloon, La Copine(OMG delicious!!! We had a reservation) & The Copper Room are all about a 20 minute drive. Thank you AGAIN! Cannot wait to return in 2024!

Easily one of my favorite places I’ve stayed. The surroundings were stunning and it felt private, peaceful, and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances, dishes, and everything we needed for cooking - loved the cocktail cart as well. We also loved that it was dog friendly.

This house is amazing! Finding it can be a little intimidating at first, but it is so worth the stay. We had some issues out of the control of the host such as the Wi-Fi and dishwasher being out of service due to a recent storm. The host was awesome and communicative about these issues before we arrived and even offered us other housing options which we greatly appreciated. We chose to stick with this house and we’re so happy we did. It is a magical place to stay and we were happy to unplug for a few days.

The Homestead Modern property, Hi-Desert Fade, was absolutely stunning . So peaceful, quiet and isolated. We had an issue with the WiFi not working at the property and some ants (which can be expected in the desert). But, they were quick to find a resolution for us and moved us to another Homestead Modern property nearby, which was just as lovely and peaceful. The homes are beautifully decorated in modern simple decor that creates an overall peaceful feeling in the home. There is a fully stocked kitchen, which we loved! I have never seen such a well stocked kitchen at an air bnb. The views from the hot tub are just spectacular during the day and evening. If you feel like you need to get away from the chaos of the city for some peace and rejuvenation but not have to travel too far, Pioneertown is the definitely the right place to be. The customer service was excellent overall. We plan on returning back again to stay at another homestead property soon.

Hi Showshan, We sincerely appreciate your understanding regarding the WiFi issue and the presence of desert ants. As you rightly mentioned, the desert environment does have its quirks, but we are committed to ensuring that such inconveniences do not disrupt your experience. Your patience and flexibility in allowing us to move you to another nearby property are greatly appreciated. We take these issues seriously and will work diligently to address and resolve them to ensure a smoother experience for future guests.

We only have good things to say about this place. The location of the house makes for a peaceful stay and the ability to disconnect and recharge. The surroundings are incredible and being able to stargaze from a hot tub was such a treat. The beds were super comfortable and the house was well equipped with everything we needed whilst staying there. The host was extremely responsive and super helpful when we had a last minute change of plans. We loved the location and design of the house. We really hope we can return soon!

A fantastic stay, the place is truly magical and felt like something out of a movie! Endless amenities and spectacular 360 degree views. It will be hard to beat on our future holidays/travels.

The home was absolutely gorgeous both inside and out ! Felt as if it was built by a truly talented artist. Everything inside the home was super clean and organized. The home had everything we needed and than some , They literally thought of everything ! The surrounding nature of the home made us feel like we were inside a painting of the desert. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come again. Highly recommended!

if you're looking for an amazing place to rest and reset, then look no further. The house, the surroundings, and everything about our stay was exactly what we were looking for. Very responsive host, very clean, lots of amenities, beautiful setting. If there had to be a negative, the only one would be slightly low water pressure in the showers but did not take away from this place being 5/5 stars. My wife and I will be back!

Mollie & Homestead Modern Homes were amazing. They were fantastic hosts, and super responsive and kind. The home was an amazing slice of paradise. It's super modern and right in the middle of beautiful, natural surroundings. We had all the amenities we needed! My spouse and I were able to get away from our busy lives and just relax. I highly recommend Homestead Modern Homes!!
- Review Date: 7/26/2023

We had a peaceful few days at this property with our toddler. The home is well appointed and has such amazing views/amenities. The sand road on the way in was so much fun and set on a beautiful landscape. The house was exactly how we imagined based on the listing, no surprises. While the space wasn’t 100% toddler friendly (hard surfaces and corners) we made it work. Cell and WiFi were a little spotty but that’s the point of this place…to unwind! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Perfect getaway in the desert. The house is amazing and beautifully decorated. The jacuzzi outside is a dream
- Review Date: 6/24/2023

Hi-Desert Fade was absolutely perfect! From the secluded oasis, desert views, and attention to detail throughout the property, they did not skip a beat when designing this architecturally stunning home. I've stayed in several Airbnb's and nothing compares to the superior service of Homestead Modern. From the electric blinds, well-stocked pantry, abundance of cooking utensils, cozy beds, multiple private patios, floor-to-ceiling window views, welcome gift, dog-friendly bed, and bedding, ample outdoor seating, and lounging, private hiking trails in your backyard, outdoor amenities, great air conditioning, and rolling carts to carry your luggage inside they have thought of everything. I cannot say enough great things about this property and the outstanding service other than book extra nights because you will not want to leave this cozy haven. Thank you for the lovely stay, Homestead Modern. :)

Absolutely amazing place. The views of the rocks and landscape are wonderful. So quiet!! Everything was extremely clean and the beds are comfy! Stay here!!
- Review Date: 6/10/2023

The place and area was absolutely gorgeous. Had to wait a few minutes till the cleaning crew left but they left it immaculate and spotless. I brought my dog and they even left a little bed and a couple bowls for him! All the ameneities worked and looked like the pictures. The kitchen was stocked full with everything you need to cook an awesome meal. I’d say the only downside was the small pool was drained and was littered with dead bugs at the bottom so we didn’t care to fill it up. Anyways this is a perfect getaway if you’re looking for some peace and quiet. 10/10 would recommend.

- Review Date: 3/18/2023

We stayed for a week and the location was exactly what we were looking for: quiet, remote, beautiful. The house is designed and stocked with great attention to detail. The kitchen has everything, which I am always grateful for. The house is modern and beautiful; the outdoor eating and bbq area are lovely, with lights and heaters. I would have stayed another week if I could’ve. Exactly the kind of place to go if you’re looking for a luxurious getaway that is (almost) off the grid and away from the hustle and bustle.
- Review Date: 2/13/2023

The house and surrounding location were both breathtaking. The house has everything you could possibly need; modern, clean, spacious, great wifi, amazing kitchen and cooking utensils, and awesome views from all around the house. Truly an incredible experience, we'll go back for sure!
- Review Date: 2/6/2023

Amazing location to get away and unwind. If you’re looking for solitude and to feel like you’re staying inside the park itself this is the spot. It is a decent drive to town or the park itself but we didn’t mind at all. Perfectly managed as well and stocked with everything you need. Hot tub was amazing, grill worked perfectly, bocce ball was surprisingly fun and relaxing, and we even used the cowboy tub to do cold plunges. Couldn’t recommend more.
- Review Date: 2/3/2023

This place was absolutely SURREAL. In the middle of Joshua Tree, with joshua trees and rocks completely surrounding you. The house is incredibly modern with floor to ceiling windows, a fantastic hot tub and fire pit. Everything you could imagine in Joshua Tree and built just like the pictures. Highly recommend!
- Review Date: 1/19/2023

Really gorgeous location, well appointed, and private. We had some issues checking in which were a bit annoying (the electric lock didn’t work, there’s no cell service, and we couldn’t communicate via wifi from inside the house). Additionally, one of the toilets was leaking and it took them three days to send someone to fix it, but they did. Would stay with them again because the house and surroundings were beautiful, but know that the little nuisances add up (like few towels and no hand towels, etc). We did let them know that there were no hand towels, but they didn’t send any new ones.
- Review Date: 1/15/2023

Glad this guest loved the property! Water conservation is very important in our region, so we supply our guests with 4 full sets plus additional pool towels, and just ask that if a guest desires more they let us know. We sent someone three times to assist with additional towels & the toilet but the first two times our team was not let into the house to assist by the guest. It was a bit strange for us, but glad we could get it fixed on our third visit and know we will always keep trying!

This is BY FAR the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. The pictures don't do it justice. It is even better in person! We have never seen such beauty. Every view is breathtaking. I couldn't stop taking pictures. You can watch the sunrise from the bed in the mornings and boulder on the other side. Hiking right out your front or backdoor. They have truly thought of every amenity! So much cookware, bar supplies, cheeseboards, spices, coffee etc. The host was super communicative! Easy to get to when you follow their exact instructions. This place is absolutely perfect in every way. We will 100% be returning. Thank you Homestead Modern for making our trip memorable. Booking again today!

Beautiful private setting, lovely house, the best amenities I have found on airbnb. Loved the house, hot tub, the firepit, decorations, even the dishes! The house was perfect. The stars were amazing! Our pup was welcomed with a dog bed, poop bags and dishes. It was really a wonderful stay- I would love to return someday. Homestead Modern is absolutely the best. Nicest stay we have ever had!
- Review Date: 12/2/2022

Overall, my husband and I had a lovely stay at the High Desert Fade home. The location was amazing (BLM lands all around!) with abundant opportunities for outdoor activities. The home's architecture and interior design were beautiful and peaceful. We also appreciated the mini apple cranberry pie and delicious coffee. There were one or two things we would change about our stay to improve the quality. First, it would be nice if the Homestead Modern team would clean the hot tub after each usage, as we noticed debris in it. Second, the water pressure was very low, which made showering more of a nuisance and less of a pleasurable experience. We could come back to stay at High Desert Fade once these issues are addressed!
- Review Date: 11/28/2022

We are so glad you had a great stay and enjoyed the treats! We service the hot tub twice a week and provide all guests with the service dates, and allow them to adjust if needed. We serviced your hot tub on the second date of your stay but weren’t aware of your desire to have it serviced prior, we apologize. The pressure issue has been addressed and thanks for the feedback so we could make it better for future visits from other guests and hopefully you as well!

My 5 year old son and I had a lovely stay. The property was breathtaking. Once we were settled there was no need to go anywhere. We explored and climbed rocks right from the property. We enjoyed the hot tub, hammocks, bocce ball and board games. The home was very clean and the host was responsive. The kitchen was well stocked. The only issue we had was the hot water pressure was very low. So low that we really couldn’t shower without standing up against the wall and washing shampoo out of my hair was a challenge. Needless to say at this price point that was frustrating. I reached out the host and they apologized stating there was a power outage the week before and that may have affected it but they didn’t send anyone to look at it; although not sure what have could have been done that wasn’t disruptive to our peace. Hopefully it’s been fixed for future guests. Regardless of the water pressure issue we would absolutely stay here again! My only tip is to make sure you don’t forget any ingredients for meals. There is no delivery and it’s a a bit of a drive to the store if you need anything. Also if you think you might need extra towels for showers I suggest asking in advance as there is only 1 towel provided per guest. Heads up, the parking is a short walk to the front door. The hosts provide a wagon for your belongings but it was a surprise to me. It may have been listed in the description and I just missed it. We will be back!

Wow ? words cannot describe how phenomenal this home is. It was an awesome reset for both my partner and I and we felt right at home. Spent the day exploring the backyard and driving down the road to Red Dog Saloon for afternoon tacos. Both morning and evenings were spent watching sunrise/sunset. We look forward to visiting this home again soon, as many memories were made…Thank you Homestead Modern for sharing this hidden gem near Pioneertown ?

This was such an awesome place beyond any words I could say or write. The owners thought of every thing in terms of amenities and comfort. The quality of everything in the house inside and out is top notch. The property is a private, magical canyon full of beautiful boulders and desert flora. We loved the architecture, furniture, indoor/outdoor feel (with all the windows) and peace and quiet. The special touches for guests were everywhere in the house...for example the hot tub was ready to use! We are looking forward to coming back to this beautiful property!

The beds are so comfortable, hadn’t slept that well in a while. The hosts were so helpful and answered any questions we had in under an hour. We booked our next stay while we were at the house, literally fell in love with it. We can’t wait to come back again! Highly recommend!!

The home is great. We loved the area it sits in. You are surrounded by these giant rocks all around you. The cowboy tub and jacuzzi were perfect to spend some time in. The hammocks are great to lay on at night and watch the stars. The house has floor-to-ceiling windows with automatic shades. The views are stunning. It is a beautiful desert! Make sure you get all the house rules and instructions before arriving. Cell service is minimal, but you will have wifi available. Communication was great, they answered all my questions. I will be coming back for sure.

Amazing accomodation with a lot of space and very well equipped, especially the kitchen, but we also enjoyed the barbeque, the cowboy tub and the hammocks around the house. The communication with the host was also great, they quickly replied when we had troubles with the water supply and they even gave us a refund.
- Review Date: 7/10/2022

The location is epic, and you feel like you're in the National Park. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are incredibly comfortable. I second the other reviews about the house's privacy. From the pictures, it's hard to tell that the house is exposed and can be seen from the road, especially at night with lights on. The hottub/pool area is also visible. However, we were there on a holiday weekend and only a few cars drove by. Overall, it felt private and remote.

Everything was seriously perfect. This home has everything you need and more. I stayed with my boyfriend and another couple, perfect size for a party of 4 - spa, pool, full kitchen. Hosts are so attentive and want you to have the most comfortable stay. You are surrounded by the most beautiful scenery and boulders - there are full length windows in every spot of the house. Just amazing. :) It was so remote and peaceful, the home is truly secluded. Just you and the views. The pictures show it all, but it’s even more beautiful in person. Thank you for our stay!

This house is fabulous. The view of the boulders is really breathtaking. It is very well designed - the large tall sliding glass doors slide effortlessly. The few small cabins in the distance were not an issue. Kitchen is super very well equipped. A wagon was provided to haul things from the parking area to the house. It is well worth the drive down the bumpy dusty road to stay at this gem.

We had a fantastic stay at this gorgeous property! It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, far away from civilization: however, it is very easy to get to. The hosts were fantastic - very responsive and accommodating. During our stay we never left the property. There was plenty to explore in the surrounding area and activities to keep busy: bocce ball, hot tub, cowboy tub, reading/relaxing in the 4 hammocks, outdoor fire pit, grilling, stargazing, Netflix movies, cooking in the gourmet kitchen, etc. Don't miss the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Our little pug loved it too!!

Amazing place and host, very responsive and house is all equiped. Very good amenities. Only bad point would be the neighborood, i thought we would be all alone but there’s actually few houses really close, other than that it’s a sensationnal place
- Review Date: 4/4/2022

This is an extraordinary property. Much of it has to do with the location, which is surreal — like being on another planet. The house is remote and totally immersed in a landscape of boulders. If you need to escape and feel at one with a desert scene, this is perfect. The light from sunrise to sunset will not disappoint — it's the star of the show here, and the house was designed to take it in. There are other houses visible from the house, which might not be apparent from the photos, but this did not take away from the privacy felt here at all, which is heightened by the journey on the dirt road to get here (fairly easy to drive). Beyond the location, the house itself is remarkable and the details and attention that have been committed here are stellar. This felt like staying at a high-end hotel, with everything considered for the guests, but not "over-designed" in any way. We can't wait to return — thank you for a beautiful stay.

Very nice place with one of a kind views. The house was the perfect size and had the modern amenities for an upscale retreat to nature. Glad I filled up my tires and alignment, if you are not used to driving on unpaved roads you will be soon, and it wasn't a problem for my Sedan. Best feature was the excellent views on both sides of the house making or lots of excellent spots

Beautiful home, well equipped, with thoughtful touches throughout.

We loved our stay! The house was very spacious and the views were extraordinary. The outdoor features were terrific—hot tub, BBQ area with dining and bar, fire pit and Bocce court.

Best Airbnb Ever - I can't say enough good things about this wonderful home. Everything inside is topnotch and high qualify from the kitchen appliances to the furniture - even the beds are comfy. But let's be real, the best part of this house is the incredible scenery and how the home embraces it. The views from all rooms are stunning. You will be blown away by how the rocks change color at sunrise and sunset. Sitting in the hottub, looking up at the stars is a must. Pioneertown is ten minutes away and Yucca Valley about 20. I wish we could have stayed another day. I hated to leave! Don't miss this amazing stay!

10/10! If you're even considering a stay in Pioneertown, make no hesitation in booking this home. Top to bottom thoughtfulness and amenities. It's like the geniuses at Homestead Modern literally think of everything one might need! No complaints whatsoever. Simply fabulous! Previously stayed at Hawk & Mesa but Hi-Desert Fade gave it a run for its money. Stunning views from literally every room in the house. Book it!

This house is as good as advertised. Its location is several miles down a dirt road that requires patience. But once you arrive, you are treated to a house that provides comfort and privacy in the uniqueness that is Joshua Tree.
- Review Date: 1/14/2022

We had a stupendous 5 days at Hi-Desert Fade! The house and the surrounding canyon far exceeded our expectations. The only downside was that it was hard to leave each morning to explore Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. We hurried back each afternoon to scamper around the canyon and enjoy the hot tub and gorgeous views! Our 21 yr. old son, who is hard to impress, is now plotting ways to spend more time in the desert! We can't wait to return!
- Review Date: 1/11/2022

Incredible! The property is even more beautiful than it looks in photos. Everything you could want from a modern home tucked away in the pristine Joshua Tree landscape. If you're considering a stay here don't wait - book it now! Fantastic, responsive hosts as always. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Beautiful place to be out in the desert! The beds are comfy, it has everything you need, and it’s really chic. There are houses close by, but we never noticed any other people that would bother us. It is up a dirt road a ways, but that wasn’t a problem for us. Would stay here again!

What a gem. Views for miles. Great location, far away from the crowds and close enough to Pappy’s, La Copine and the giant rock. This house is top notch, all the same appliances we have at home, just amazing everything. Stay here, go for a hike in the morning right from your backyard. Relax at night with outdoor heaters and hot tub.. can’t wait to come back.

My husband and I came here to get away on a mini moon after our wedding and it was just what we expected and more! The house was beautiful and clean, there were games to play and plenty of places to lounge. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful location and scenery, and a beautiful house. It was a very relaxing experience!
- Review Date: 10/30/2021

A stunning, sophisticated home! Thoughtfully appointed, beautifully situated (especially for those of us who crave being among the high desert's gorgeous monzogranite boulders), comfortable, and simply a joy whether you're inside or outside. Lots of privacy and quiet tranquillity. We hope to return!

This is a great spot. Beautiful house, with even more beautiful views. The stars are incredible, we even saw a few shooting stars. The kitchen was extraordinarily well stocked with cooking utensils and equipment. This was also one of the cleanest Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed in. Very comfortable.

Absolutely beautiful location, if wish to have a quite, comfortable, secluded, and relaxing stay is this is the place for you.
- Review Date: 8/14/2021

Had a great stay with friends at this home. The interior finishes were modern and the place was very clean. Nice layout with large showers and scenic window views from all angles. Great location with a perfect view of the stars at night, and far enough off the beaten path that you feel isolated. Very quiet at night.
- Review Date: 8/11/2021

Gorgeous spot, cannot recommend this place enough. The house is stocked with all the little luxuries and good quality appliances you could only dream of. It really made us stay home and cook rather than eat out. The canyon is super private we felt like we had it all to ourselves. The outdoor space has so much to offer, we never really wanted to leave to explore any place else. We have a dog and he loved it! They offered extra blanket for dog, poop bags and lint roller, didn't give us any crazy restrictions (which many places do in our experience). This was a massive bonus for us, especially with such high standard of furnishings throughout the house, to feel comfortable with our dog. We came in the off season so the prices were extremely reasonable for what we were getting, almost a steal! 10 out of 10 recommend this place to anyone looking for a secluded luxurious getaway. Such a peaceful spot surrounded by stunning boulders and Joshua trees. Desert vacation at it's best.

Hi-Desert Fade is a truly exceptional Airbnb! The location is fantastic! The remote location, surrounded by mountains of boulders is truly magical! The modern house had every amenity we could want. The floor-to-ceiling windows let the unbelievable view surround us! Beds were so comfortable! The placement of the two bedrooms at either end of the house was perfect! Beautiful bathrooms, superbly furnished kitchen! Every thing was top-of-the-line! The outside amenities were fantastic as well! We grilled out every night, and ate as the moon rose over the desert - just magical! The "cowboy tub" was perfect for taking a dip after hikes at Joshua Tree NP. We loved making s'mores around the outdoor fire circle! Having stayed in Airbnbs around the world, I would say this is one of the very best!! Highly recommend if you want to disconnect, relax, and enjoy the desert!

Our third year in Yucca Valley in July - although warm - so peaceful and lovely. Spent evenings on the hammocks looking at the stars and counting satellites. Gorgeous setting and lovely design.

Truly the most amazing desert Airbnb! Just an incredible location, the valley is so peaceful and jaw dropping. The house is immaculate, super comfy beds. The hot tub and cowboy tub are sensational and amazing for unwinding. Would absolutely recommend, will be back soon

The design of the house was just stunning (the kitchen was one of my favorite parts)!! Waking up to the views outside and falling asleep to the stars was something we took full advantage of during our stay, the absolute best. My two pups loved the trails around the home and it was so much fun climbing the boulders. Thank you for the amazing experience!
- Review Date: 7/6/2021

Absolutely stunning home, beautiful location and so much to explore on the property and in the neighborhood. We enjoyed all the amenities, the morning walks and the hiking in our backyard. This is our second time staying at a Homestead Modern location and we can't wait to visit another one!

The place was gorgeous! It had everything you needed and more. I definitely recommend bringing a telescope of you have one. The star gazing was phenomenal and our fur babies were just as comfortable as us.
- Review Date: 6/27/2021

We AirBnB a lot and this was one of our favorite stays! The location is absolutely beautiful, secluded and private. The house is perfect - well made with high end appliances and finishes. Everything is well thought out with excellent amenities. Our 3 and 5 year old boys had such a wonderful time, we hope to come back soon!
- Review Date: 6/21/2021

This home is as beautiful and luxurious as it appears in the photos. What the photos won't tell you is how unbelievably thoroughly the upscale kitchen is stocked. You could easily bake or cook anything your heart desired, only bringing the ingredients. It's a gorgeous, quiet setting, but as other have mentioned, it's very remote with not a lot of access to the outside world. We found it refreshing to be disconnected form work and responsibilities but sometimes couldn't even get calls or texts to go through. Check in and out were a breeze. We had one issue, sent an email, and the hosts immediately sent someone to take care of it and all was remedied. If you're looking to unplug and get off the grid while living in the lap of luxury, this is your spot.

You will not regret staying here! Very comfortable, private, and fun place to spend a weekend! This home has everything you need and more. The sunrise and sunsets are breathtaking. Definitely an experience I won’t forget. Great hiking trails for active people and there’s plenty to do if your staying in to avoid the heat!

What a great getaway house. From the bocci ball court to the hot tub to the fire pit to the barbecue - they thought of everything. We will definitely be back!
- Review Date: 4/18/2021

I had one of the best birthday weekends here, at first I felt the price was a bit high but the experience was so unique and incredible. While the house itself was very stylish and modern, extremely clean, and well equipped - it’s the location that was mind blowing. We had first planned to go on a hike on nearby trails but we never even had to leave the property to enjoy the beautiful scenery. We took a stroll right and climbed a few rocks and were able to see the vast landscape right from our backyard. I’ve never seen so many stars in my life, never knew there were so many shooting stars every night. I must have seen 10 in just the two nights we stayed. Laying in the jacuzzi taking in the night sky was such a special moment. We did plenty of cooking and the kitchen is so well stocked with Wolf appliances and cookware. And the beds were so comfortable!! Can’t forget about the 4 hammocks and the bocce ball set up either. A perfect weekend on such an incredible property.

Nice out of the way place to feel disconnected from the city. Quiet and peaceful at night. Great kitchen to cook in. Internet could be a little faster but that's probably par for the remote area.
- Review Date: 4/2/2021

High Desert Fade is a great place to stay with hiking and rock climbing right outside the front door. The home has high-end appliances (Wolf range) and is decorated very well. The hammocks are heavenly.
- Review Date: 3/22/2021

This house is very special...the architecture, the landscape and being able to look at the stars from your bed was very special. Really appreciated the nice Global knives and all new high quality kitchen wares for cooking! Would definitely return again to this special spot for the incredible house, amenities and incredible walks right outside the door.
- Review Date: 3/8/2021

A lovely house to stay in! Aside from the fantastic location (if you like privacy and nature), a beautiful space with everything tip top from appliances to furniture, beds & wonderful bathrooms. An unusual experience for a rental. In case you intend to use both bedrooms there’s no need to fight for the better one because they are identical:) We loved our stay here, and think you will as well.

This was my second stay in two years. This time I stayed for two nights. My friend, visiting from Tokyo, was blown away by the surroundings and the home interior. And the kitchen is quite nice, we cooked and enjoyed the nature. It is a special location that I comeback again and again when important friends visit me in Los Angeles. Highly recommended.

This home is absolutely beautiful and the location is so private and serene. We went with two couples and the house was perfect with two primary suites on opposite ends of the home. The kitchen was so well stocked. We all loved the home!

Gorgeous location! Peaceful, big starry skies, fascinating construction. Two of our party spent a lot of time talking about the interesting architectural details. Also- I ditto all of the other glowing comments on Airbnb.

Review Date: 10/8/2024

Extremely beautiful and peaceful, our stay was beyond impressive. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Everything you could possibly need in a kitchen or appliances and amenities. You feel right at home just by showing up. Even gave us jugs of water to stay hydrated!

Review Date: 9/18/2024

If you want to feel cut off from the world and learn what the sound of silence and nature is, this is the place for you! This home is very thoughtful. I loved all the ways you can BE in this space. And while the house itself is wonderful the real star of the show is the surrounding area. Everywhere you look is beauty. What a wonderful place to TRULY get away! We enjoyed every minute of it!

Review Date: 7/28/2024

If you are looking for a great peaceful place to stay this is the place to be. The property was so beautiful inside and out. We enjoyed how peaceful it was during the day & how dark it got at night . The kitchen was full of things to use . I love making drinks and there was a bar cart with everything that I needed . The beds were super comfortable and all rooms had a great view of the outdoors . We will definitely be staying again next time we will bring our family. Be sure to use the cow boy pool & jacuzzi we didn’t get to use it because we loved being inside and just relaxing

Review Date: 7/25/2024

We LOVED this house. It was an epic home base for a few short day trips to Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. The views are so beautiful and the quiet is pretty amazing. The house is full of amenities and super clean. We saw a fair amount of ants but we were expecting that based on the thorough description. They weren’t a problem but I would recommend keeping all food in the fridge to not attract them. It was 10/10 experience- highly recommend.

Review Date: 7/22/2024

This place was a home away from home and extremely gorgeous, the decor was warm and welcoming. The location quiet and secluded enough to feel like your alone in the beautiful starry mountains. It was close by many stores and restaurants, the owners placed a binder at the entrance that was full of recommendations on different places to go nearby. Mostly we loved how CLEAN it was. The hot tub and cowboy pool we enjoyed the most! Oh and did I mention Joshua Tree is lol 15-20 min away from this place!! We didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit but loved that it was electric and in a great spot, will definitely coming back soon!!

Review Date: 7/16/2024

Absolutely beautiful and unique location. This house is great for an escape from regular life. The kitchen was one of the most well equipped of any rental I’ve ever been to. There are many excellent restaurants nearby but we were just as happy to stay in and cook. There is a lot to love about this house but we especially enjoyed the cowboy and hot tubs in the evenings. If you want to enjoy all the comforts of modern life in the middle of the desert look no further.

Review Date: 7/9/2024

Wow, what a beautiful, tranquil and amazing house in an incredible location. We absolutely loved our time here and it has to be the best equipped house we have ever stayed in. We only wish our trip was longer, but we will be back!

Beautiful Airbnb in a beautiful area! Very peaceful - feels secluded. Kitchen amazingly well stocked. Checkin easy and communication with the host prompt and helpful! Would definitely stay here again when I return back to the area!

Review Date: 5/12/2024

Our two-night stay at Hi-Desert Fade was truly remarkable. Tucked away yet conveniently close to amenities, the property offered serene seclusion. The living spaces, sleeping quarters, and bathrooms were immaculate and clutter-free, providing a welcoming retreat. The well-stocked kitchen made cooking effortless. However, the highlight was undoubtedly stargazing from the hot tub, a mesmerizing experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Hi-Desert Fade for a tranquil desert getaway.

Review Date: 5/10/2024

This place is awesome. The house was super clean, with comfortable beds and linens. The kitchen was amazing with quality appliances and utensils, that made cooking a joy rather than a task. Being so far away from stores and restaurants it was nice to have such a fully functioning kitchen/barbeque area. The setting is beautiful with large rock outcroppings on both sides of the house. The floor to ceiling windows enhanced the views and framed the natural environment nicely. We really enjoyed our stay. The satellite internet worked well, while we were there, but there was zero Verizon cell coverage, which I enjoyed, but maybe difficult for people who need to be totally connected to the outside world.

Review Date: 5/1/2024

This was my favorite Airbnb I have EVER stayed in. Countless amenities, beautiful details and such an inspiring space. But what stood out to us the most was the LOCATION, nestled between epic rock formations • priceless views from every direction. It’s secluded, peaceful and truly otherworldly. Could not recommend this space enough. Book it!

Review Date: 4/14/2024

We loved our stay here so much. Before we left we were already planning our next visit. The hosts are so thoughtful and have stocked the house with so many essentials. Their kitchen supplies are the most impressive I’ve ever seen. The host was responsive and helpful when we couldn’t figure out how to get the heater working when we first got there (it was working in no time). You will not regret choosing this as a place to stay especially if you plan to cook, bake, BBQ etc.. We can’t wait to visit again!

The perfect secluded sanctuary. Being from LA this was an ideal escape. Tranquil, quiet and very private. The surrounding environment was better than some of the national parks in that area in its remarkable beauty. Pics don’t do it justice. The home itself had everything you could possibly need to hunker down. As an avid cook I was thrilled with how equipped the kitchen was. I wrote down names of plates and tools so I can later buy the goods - it was that well curated. Thank you so much for this unforgettable trip. Bookmarking this Airbnb for sure and I’ve never said that about any Airbnb which is WILD.

A Chic Retreat for Cooking Enthusiasts! Great stay in a very stylish place. Location nestled in among the rocks felt very private, and the modern space was gorgeous. Never got tired of looking out of the giant windows at the fantastic landscape. Best of all -- EXTREMELY WELL APPOINTED KITCHEN. We love to cook, but on vacation it can be hard making do with the basics. Not the case here! This kitchen has everything, from cast iron, to meat thermometers, to cook's knives, to all sorts of mixing/measuring/serving dishes and utensils. Truly, we wanted for nothing, no making do. Overall, delightful and restful stay. Thanks!

We just returned from our second stay at HI Desert Fade & will be booking again for next year. This is our most favorite airbnb. The communication is within minutes if you have questions & is very easy to find when you follow their directions. So much to say about this space & I know I may not do it justice. While the pictures are perfect, you have to see it to believe it. The home is so well done & the surroundings are breathtaking. The views never get old. The kitchen is THE MOST well stocked kitchen you've ever seen. They truly have thought of everything! Appliances are top notch & literally have everything you could possibly need. The home is beyond clean & beautifully decorated!! We discovered so many more fun places to eat & drink this stay. There is a book with their suggestions- Pappy & Harriets, Red Dog Saloon, La Copine(OMG delicious!!! We had a reservation) & The Copper Room are all about a 20 minute drive. Thank you AGAIN! Cannot wait to return in 2024!

Easily one of my favorite places I’ve stayed. The surroundings were stunning and it felt private, peaceful, and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances, dishes, and everything we needed for cooking - loved the cocktail cart as well. We also loved that it was dog friendly.

Review Date: 10/11/2023

This house is amazing! Finding it can be a little intimidating at first, but it is so worth the stay. We had some issues out of the control of the host such as the Wi-Fi and dishwasher being out of service due to a recent storm. The host was awesome and communicative about these issues before we arrived and even offered us other housing options which we greatly appreciated. We chose to stick with this house and we’re so happy we did. It is a magical place to stay and we were happy to unplug for a few days.

Review Date: 9/18/2023

The Homestead Modern property, Hi-Desert Fade, was absolutely stunning . So peaceful, quiet and isolated. We had an issue with the WiFi not working at the property and some ants (which can be expected in the desert). But, they were quick to find a resolution for us and moved us to another Homestead Modern property nearby, which was just as lovely and peaceful. The homes are beautifully decorated in modern simple decor that creates an overall peaceful feeling in the home. There is a fully stocked kitchen, which we loved! I have never seen such a well stocked kitchen at an air bnb. The views from the hot tub are just spectacular during the day and evening. If you feel like you need to get away from the chaos of the city for some peace and rejuvenation but not have to travel too far, Pioneertown is the definitely the right place to be. The customer service was excellent overall. We plan on returning back again to stay at another homestead property soon.

Review Date: 9/14/2023

We only have good things to say about this place. The location of the house makes for a peaceful stay and the ability to disconnect and recharge. The surroundings are incredible and being able to stargaze from a hot tub was such a treat. The beds were super comfortable and the house was well equipped with everything we needed whilst staying there. The host was extremely responsive and super helpful when we had a last minute change of plans. We loved the location and design of the house. We really hope we can return soon!

The home was absolutely gorgeous both inside and out ! Felt as if it was built by a truly talented artist. Everything inside the home was super clean and organized. The home had everything we needed and than some , They literally thought of everything ! The surrounding nature of the home made us feel like we were inside a painting of the desert. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come again. Highly recommended!

if you're looking for an amazing place to rest and reset, then look no further. The house, the surroundings, and everything about our stay was exactly what we were looking for. Very responsive host, very clean, lots of amenities, beautiful setting. If there had to be a negative, the only one would be slightly low water pressure in the showers but did not take away from this place being 5/5 stars. My wife and I will be back!

Review Date: 8/6/2023

Mollie & Homestead Modern Homes were amazing. They were fantastic hosts, and super responsive and kind. The home was an amazing slice of paradise. It's super modern and right in the middle of beautiful, natural surroundings. We had all the amenities we needed! My spouse and I were able to get away from our busy lives and just relax. I highly recommend Homestead Modern Homes!!

Review Date: 7/26/2023

We had a peaceful few days at this property with our toddler. The home is well appointed and has such amazing views/amenities. The sand road on the way in was so much fun and set on a beautiful landscape. The house was exactly how we imagined based on the listing, no surprises. While the space wasn’t 100% toddler friendly (hard surfaces and corners) we made it work. Cell and WiFi were a little spotty but that’s the point of this place…to unwind! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Review Date: 7/12/2023

Hi-Desert Fade was absolutely perfect! From the secluded oasis, desert views, and attention to detail throughout the property, they did not skip a beat when designing this architecturally stunning home. I've stayed in several Airbnb's and nothing compares to the superior service of Homestead Modern. From the electric blinds, well-stocked pantry, abundance of cooking utensils, cozy beds, multiple private patios, floor-to-ceiling window views, welcome gift, dog-friendly bed, and bedding, ample outdoor seating, and lounging, private hiking trails in your backyard, outdoor amenities, great air conditioning, and rolling carts to carry your luggage inside they have thought of everything. I cannot say enough great things about this property and the outstanding service other than book extra nights because you will not want to leave this cozy haven. Thank you for the lovely stay, Homestead Modern. :)

Review Date: 6/19/2023

The place and area was absolutely gorgeous. Had to wait a few minutes till the cleaning crew left but they left it immaculate and spotless. I brought my dog and they even left a little bed and a couple bowls for him! All the ameneities worked and looked like the pictures. The kitchen was stocked full with everything you need to cook an awesome meal. I’d say the only downside was the small pool was drained and was littered with dead bugs at the bottom so we didn’t care to fill it up. Anyways this is a perfect getaway if you’re looking for some peace and quiet. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing experience and incredible host. If you need to disconnect from the daily grind, get away from it all and relax, then this is for you. We will be coming back for sure!

Review Date: 3/18/2023

We stayed for a week and the location was exactly what we were looking for: quiet, remote, beautiful. The house is designed and stocked with great attention to detail. The kitchen has everything, which I am always grateful for. The house is modern and beautiful; the outdoor eating and bbq area are lovely, with lights and heaters. I would have stayed another week if I could’ve. Exactly the kind of place to go if you’re looking for a luxurious getaway that is (almost) off the grid and away from the hustle and bustle.

Review Date: 2/13/2023

The house and surrounding location were both breathtaking. The house has everything you could possibly need; modern, clean, spacious, great wifi, amazing kitchen and cooking utensils, and awesome views from all around the house. Truly an incredible experience, we'll go back for sure!

Review Date: 2/6/2023

Amazing location to get away and unwind. If you’re looking for solitude and to feel like you’re staying inside the park itself this is the spot. It is a decent drive to town or the park itself but we didn’t mind at all. Perfectly managed as well and stocked with everything you need. Hot tub was amazing, grill worked perfectly, bocce ball was surprisingly fun and relaxing, and we even used the cowboy tub to do cold plunges. Couldn’t recommend more.

Review Date: 2/3/2023

This place was absolutely SURREAL. In the middle of Joshua Tree, with joshua trees and rocks completely surrounding you. The house is incredibly modern with floor to ceiling windows, a fantastic hot tub and fire pit. Everything you could imagine in Joshua Tree and built just like the pictures. Highly recommend!

Review Date: 1/19/2023

Really gorgeous location, well appointed, and private. We had some issues checking in which were a bit annoying (the electric lock didn’t work, there’s no cell service, and we couldn’t communicate via wifi from inside the house). Additionally, one of the toilets was leaking and it took them three days to send someone to fix it, but they did. Would stay with them again because the house and surroundings were beautiful, but know that the little nuisances add up (like few towels and no hand towels, etc). We did let them know that there were no hand towels, but they didn’t send any new ones.

Review Date: 1/15/2023

This is BY FAR the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. The pictures don't do it justice. It is even better in person! We have never seen such beauty. Every view is breathtaking. I couldn't stop taking pictures. You can watch the sunrise from the bed in the mornings and boulder on the other side. Hiking right out your front or backdoor. They have truly thought of every amenity! So much cookware, bar supplies, cheeseboards, spices, coffee etc. The host was super communicative! Easy to get to when you follow their exact instructions. This place is absolutely perfect in every way. We will 100% be returning. Thank you Homestead Modern for making our trip memorable. Booking again today!

Beautiful private setting, lovely house, the best amenities I have found on airbnb. Loved the house, hot tub, the firepit, decorations, even the dishes! The house was perfect. The stars were amazing! Our pup was welcomed with a dog bed, poop bags and dishes. It was really a wonderful stay- I would love to return someday. Homestead Modern is absolutely the best. Nicest stay we have ever had!

Review Date: 12/2/2022

Overall, my husband and I had a lovely stay at the High Desert Fade home. The location was amazing (BLM lands all around!) with abundant opportunities for outdoor activities. The home's architecture and interior design were beautiful and peaceful. We also appreciated the mini apple cranberry pie and delicious coffee. There were one or two things we would change about our stay to improve the quality. First, it would be nice if the Homestead Modern team would clean the hot tub after each usage, as we noticed debris in it. Second, the water pressure was very low, which made showering more of a nuisance and less of a pleasurable experience. We could come back to stay at High Desert Fade once these issues are addressed!

Review Date: 11/28/2022

My 5 year old son and I had a lovely stay. The property was breathtaking. Once we were settled there was no need to go anywhere. We explored and climbed rocks right from the property. We enjoyed the hot tub, hammocks, bocce ball and board games. The home was very clean and the host was responsive. The kitchen was well stocked. The only issue we had was the hot water pressure was very low. So low that we really couldn’t shower without standing up against the wall and washing shampoo out of my hair was a challenge. Needless to say at this price point that was frustrating. I reached out the host and they apologized stating there was a power outage the week before and that may have affected it but they didn’t send anyone to look at it; although not sure what have could have been done that wasn’t disruptive to our peace. Hopefully it’s been fixed for future guests. Regardless of the water pressure issue we would absolutely stay here again! My only tip is to make sure you don’t forget any ingredients for meals. There is no delivery and it’s a a bit of a drive to the store if you need anything. Also if you think you might need extra towels for showers I suggest asking in advance as there is only 1 towel provided per guest. Heads up, the parking is a short walk to the front door. The hosts provide a wagon for your belongings but it was a surprise to me. It may have been listed in the description and I just missed it. We will be back!

Wow ? words cannot describe how phenomenal this home is. It was an awesome reset for both my partner and I and we felt right at home. Spent the day exploring the backyard and driving down the road to Red Dog Saloon for afternoon tacos. Both morning and evenings were spent watching sunrise/sunset. We look forward to visiting this home again soon, as many memories were made…Thank you Homestead Modern for sharing this hidden gem near Pioneertown ?

This was such an awesome place beyond any words I could say or write. The owners thought of every thing in terms of amenities and comfort. The quality of everything in the house inside and out is top notch. The property is a private, magical canyon full of beautiful boulders and desert flora. We loved the architecture, furniture, indoor/outdoor feel (with all the windows) and peace and quiet. The special touches for guests were everywhere in the house...for example the hot tub was ready to use! We are looking forward to coming back to this beautiful property!

Beautiful, contemporary home nestled in the rocks. Top of the line outdoor kitchen, most comfortable bed & luxurious linens. Thoughtful touches everywhere. We enjoyed our stay & I would definitely come again.

The location couldn’t be more breathtaking. The house was beautiful, with every detail thought of. Everything we could have needed was right there. A really special place.

Review Date: 9/26/2022

This Airbnb is AMAZING! The views, the house, the location are all worth it. The host was great at communicating the check in and check out process. The family had an amazing time! Perfect place to get away from the city.

Review Date: 8/30/2022

My boyfriend and I had the best time here! The location is perfect, totally secluded with beautiful scenic views. The house is absolutely incredible - so modern and very cozy! The beds are so comfortable, hadn’t slept that well in a while. The hosts were so helpful and answered any questions we had in under an hour. We booked our next stay while we were at the house, literally fell in love with it. We can’t wait to come back again! Highly recommend!!

Review Date: 8/29/2022

The home is great. We loved the area it sits in. You are surrounded by these giant rocks all around you. The cowboy tub and jacuzzi were perfect to spend some time in. The hammocks are great to lay on at night and watch the stars. The house has floor-to-ceiling windows with automatic shades. The views are stunning. It is a beautiful desert! Make sure you get all the house rules and instructions before arriving. Cell service is minimal, but you will have wifi available. Communication was great, they answered all my questions. I will be coming back for sure.

Review Date: 8/15/2022

Amazing getaway for the weekend. Surroundings and view are breathtaking. This place comes fully stocked with great gear, kitchen appliances and high quality drink/cookware. BBQ and outdoor area are well thought out an functional. Cowboy pool is a must try. Bocce ball court was super fun too. Will come back soon.

Review Date: 8/3/2022

This is an outstanding property surrounded by truly spectacular scenery. The light at sunrise and sunset against the backdrop of boulders and Joshua Trees is breathtaking. We can’t wait to return!

Review Date: 7/25/2022

Amazing accomodation with a lot of space and very well equipped, especially the kitchen, but we also enjoyed the barbeque, the cowboy tub and the hammocks around the house. The communication with the host was also great, they quickly replied when we had troubles with the water supply and they even gave us a refund.

Review Date: 7/10/2022

The location is epic, and you feel like you're in the National Park. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are incredibly comfortable. I second the other reviews about the house's privacy. From the pictures, it's hard to tell that the house is exposed and can be seen from the road, especially at night with lights on. The hottub/pool area is also visible. However, we were there on a holiday weekend and only a few cars drove by. Overall, it felt private and remote.

Review Date: 7/5/2022

Everything was seriously perfect. This home has everything you need and more. I stayed with my boyfriend and another couple, perfect size for a party of 4 - spa, pool, full kitchen. Hosts are so attentive and want you to have the most comfortable stay. You are surrounded by the most beautiful scenery and boulders - there are full length windows in every spot of the house. Just amazing. :) It was so remote and peaceful, the home is truly secluded. Just you and the views. The pictures show it all, but it’s even more beautiful in person. Thank you for our stay!

Review Date: 6/28/2022

This was the BEST AirBnB experience that I have ever had. This home is architecturally stunning and perfectly situated in its surroundings. Every detail has been thought of and it feels like a luxurious hotel, yet a cozy home at the same time. You'll honestly will want to enjoy every second of your stay at home because there is no reason to leave! I hope to be able to enjoy this beautiful place again, and eventually experience other listings that Homestead Modern has to offer!

Review Date: 6/20/2022

An absolutely beautiful stay, exactly what we needed. Photos don’t do it justice. Extremely well appointed and private, and the hosts were so communicative and kind! We’ll be back.

Review Date: 6/14/2022

Another amazing stay with Homestead Modern! The house, furnishings and amenities are top notch. One of the best properties in the JT area we appreciate that they had a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. Hiking trail right behind the property so we never had to leave. Don’t hesitate to book, it’s got everything you could want on your next desert trip!

Review Date: 5/29/2022

Amazing property, location is everything. You can walk out of the property and hike for hours. The house is beautiful, beds are COMFY, if you are a cook they provide a great assortment of cooking pots/ pans, accessories, spices, etc. Great overall ambience. A+++++++++

Review Date: 5/2/2022

This house is fabulous. The view of the boulders is really breathtaking. It is very well designed - the large tall sliding glass doors slide effortlessly. The few small cabins in the distance were not an issue. Kitchen is super very well equipped. A wagon was provided to haul things from the parking area to the house. It is well worth the drive down the bumpy dusty road to stay at this gem.

Review Date: 4/29/2022

We had a fantastic stay at this gorgeous property! It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, far away from civilization: however, it is very easy to get to. The hosts were fantastic - very responsive and accommodating. During our stay we never left the property. There was plenty to explore in the surrounding area and activities to keep busy: bocce ball, hot tub, cowboy tub, reading/relaxing in the 4 hammocks, outdoor fire pit, grilling, stargazing, Netflix movies, cooking in the gourmet kitchen, etc. Don't miss the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Our little pug loved it too!!

Review Date: 4/10/2022

Amazing place and host, very responsive and house is all equiped. Very good amenities. Only bad point would be the neighborood, i thought we would be all alone but there’s actually few houses really close, other than that it’s a sensationnal place

Review Date: 4/4/2022

This is an extraordinary property. Much of it has to do with the location, which is surreal — like being on another planet. The house is remote and totally immersed in a landscape of boulders. If you need to escape and feel at one with a desert scene, this is perfect. The light from sunrise to sunset will not disappoint — it's the star of the show here, and the house was designed to take it in. There are other houses visible from the house, which might not be apparent from the photos, but this did not take away from the privacy felt here at all, which is heightened by the journey on the dirt road to get here (fairly easy to drive). Beyond the location, the house itself is remarkable and the details and attention that have been committed here are stellar. This felt like staying at a high-end hotel, with everything considered for the guests, but not "over-designed" in any way. We can't wait to return — thank you for a beautiful stay.

Review Date: 3/31/2022

Absolutely stunning property with a beautiful modern home. GPS seems to have improved and finding the property was not difficult. Enjoy the hot tub early in the morning for the most peaceful views. Enjoy a nightcap by the fire put and take in the stars!

Review Date: 3/25/2022

Very nice place with one of a kind views. The house was the perfect size and had the modern amenities for an upscale retreat to nature. Glad I filled up my tires and alignment, if you are not used to driving on unpaved roads you will be soon, and it wasn't a problem for my Sedan. Best feature was the excellent views on both sides of the house making or lots of excellent spots

Review Date: 3/21/2022

Beautiful home, well equipped, with thoughtful touches throughout. We enjoyed every amenity available…hot tub, fire pit, bocci ball, etc. The location is incredibly peaceful but still a quick drive to town. Good location for exploring NP, Pioneertown, restaurants, etc. Linens top notch. Kitchen perfectly stocked. Beautiful scenery. You won’t regret this stay.

Review Date: 2/27/2022

We loved our stay! The house was very spacious and the views were extraordinary. The outdoor features were terrific—hot tub, BBQ area with dining and bar, fire pit and Bocce court. The kitchen was so well outfitted with quality appliances and cookware. We prepared all our meals easily and ate comfortably with beautiful views. We can’t wait to come back!

Review Date: 2/24/2022

Best Airbnb Ever - I can't say enough good things about this wonderful home. Everything inside is topnotch and high qualify from the kitchen appliances to the furniture - even the beds are comfy. But let's be real, the best part of this house is the incredible scenery and how the home embraces it. The views from all rooms are stunning. You will be blown away by how the rocks change color at sunrise and sunset. Sitting in the hottub, looking up at the stars is a must. Pioneertown is ten minutes away and Yucca Valley about 20. I wish we could have stayed another day. I hated to leave! Don't miss this amazing stay!

Review Date: 2/2/2022

10/10! If you're even considering a stay in Pioneertown, make no hesitation in booking this home. Top to bottom thoughtfulness and amenities. It's like the geniuses at Homestead Modern literally think of everything one might need! No complaints whatsoever. Simply fabulous! Previously stayed at Hawk & Mesa but Hi-Desert Fade gave it a run for its money. Stunning views from literally every room in the house. Book it!

Review Date: 1/25/2022

This house is as good as advertised. Its location is several miles down a dirt road that requires patience. But once you arrive, you are treated to a house that provides comfort and privacy in the uniqueness that is Joshua Tree.

Review Date: 1/14/2022

We had a stupendous 5 days at Hi-Desert Fade! The house and the surrounding canyon far exceeded our expectations. The only downside was that it was hard to leave each morning to explore Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. We hurried back each afternoon to scamper around the canyon and enjoy the hot tub and gorgeous views! Our 21 yr. old son, who is hard to impress, is now plotting ways to spend more time in the desert! We can't wait to return!

Review Date: 1/11/2022

Incredible! The property is even more beautiful than it looks in photos. Everything you could want from a modern home tucked away in the pristine Joshua Tree landscape. If you're considering a stay here don't wait - book it now! Fantastic, responsive hosts as always. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Review Date: 1/6/2022

Beautiful place to be out in the desert! The beds are comfy, it has everything you need, and it’s really chic. There are houses close by, but we never noticed any other people that would bother us. It is up a dirt road a ways, but that wasn’t a problem for us. Would stay here again!

Review Date: 12/9/2021

What a gem. Views for miles. Great location, far away from the crowds and close enough to Pappy’s, La Copine and the giant rock. This house is top notch, all the same appliances we have at home, just amazing everything. Stay here, go for a hike in the morning right from your backyard. Relax at night with outdoor heaters and hot tub.. can’t wait to come back.

Review Date: 11/24/2021

My husband and I came here to get away on a mini moon after our wedding and it was just what we expected and more! The house was beautiful and clean, there were games to play and plenty of places to lounge. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Review Date: 11/3/2021

A stunning, sophisticated home! Thoughtfully appointed, beautifully situated (especially for those of us who crave being among the high desert's gorgeous monzogranite boulders), comfortable, and simply a joy whether you're inside or outside. Lots of privacy and quiet tranquillity. We hope to return!

Review Date: 10/14/2021

This is a great spot. Beautiful house, with even more beautiful views. The stars are incredible, we even saw a few shooting stars. The kitchen was extraordinarily well stocked with cooking utensils and equipment. This was also one of the cleanest Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed in. Very comfortable.

Review Date: 8/29/2021

Had a great stay with friends at this home. The interior finishes were modern and the place was very clean. Nice layout with large showers and scenic window views from all angles. Great location with a perfect view of the stars at night, and far enough off the beaten path that you feel isolated. Very quiet at night.

Review Date: 8/11/2021

Gorgeous spot, cannot recommend this place enough. The house is stocked with all the little luxuries and good quality appliances you could only dream of. It really made us stay home and cook rather than eat out. The canyon is super private we felt like we had it all to ourselves. The outdoor space has so much to offer, we never really wanted to leave to explore any place else. We have a dog and he loved it! They offered extra blanket for dog, poop bags and lint roller, didn't give us any crazy restrictions (which many places do in our experience). This was a massive bonus for us, especially with such high standard of furnishings throughout the house, to feel comfortable with our dog. We came in the off season so the prices were extremely reasonable for what we were getting, almost a steal! 10 out of 10 recommend this place to anyone looking for a secluded luxurious getaway. Such a peaceful spot surrounded by stunning boulders and Joshua trees. Desert vacation at it's best.

Review Date: 8/9/2021

Hi-Desert Fade is a truly exceptional Airbnb! The location is fantastic! The remote location, surrounded by mountains of boulders is truly magical! The modern house had every amenity we could want. The floor-to-ceiling windows let the unbelievable view surround us! Beds were so comfortable! The placement of the two bedrooms at either end of the house was perfect! Beautiful bathrooms, superbly furnished kitchen! Every thing was top-of-the-line! The outside amenities were fantastic as well! We grilled out every night, and ate as the moon rose over the desert - just magical! The "cowboy tub" was perfect for taking a dip after hikes at Joshua Tree NP. We loved making s'mores around the outdoor fire circle! Having stayed in Airbnbs around the world, I would say this is one of the very best!! Highly recommend if you want to disconnect, relax, and enjoy the desert!

Review Date: 8/2/2021

Our third year in Yucca Valley in July - although warm - so peaceful and lovely. Spent evenings on the hammocks looking at the stars and counting satellites. Gorgeous setting and lovely design.

Review Date: 7/10/2021

Truly the most amazing desert Airbnb! Just an incredible location, the valley is so peaceful and jaw dropping. The house is immaculate, super comfy beds. The hot tub and cowboy tub are sensational and amazing for unwinding. Would absolutely recommend, will be back soon

Review Date: 7/7/2021

The design of the house was just stunning (the kitchen was one of my favorite parts)!! Waking up to the views outside and falling asleep to the stars was something we took full advantage of during our stay, the absolute best. My two pups loved the trails around the home and it was so much fun climbing the boulders. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Review Date: 7/6/2021

Absolutely stunning home, beautiful location and so much to explore on the property and in the neighborhood. We enjoyed all the amenities, the morning walks and the hiking in our backyard. This is our second time staying at a Homestead Modern location and we can't wait to visit another one!

Review Date: 6/29/2021

The place was gorgeous! It had everything you needed and more. I definitely recommend bringing a telescope of you have one. The star gazing was phenomenal and our fur babies were just as comfortable as us.

Review Date: 6/27/2021

We AirBnB a lot and this was one of our favorite stays! The location is absolutely beautiful, secluded and private. The house is perfect - well made with high end appliances and finishes. Everything is well thought out with excellent amenities. Our 3 and 5 year old boys had such a wonderful time, we hope to come back soon!

Review Date: 6/21/2021

This home is as beautiful and luxurious as it appears in the photos. What the photos won't tell you is how unbelievably thoroughly the upscale kitchen is stocked. You could easily bake or cook anything your heart desired, only bringing the ingredients. It's a gorgeous, quiet setting, but as other have mentioned, it's very remote with not a lot of access to the outside world. We found it refreshing to be disconnected form work and responsibilities but sometimes couldn't even get calls or texts to go through. Check in and out were a breeze. We had one issue, sent an email, and the hosts immediately sent someone to take care of it and all was remedied. If you're looking to unplug and get off the grid while living in the lap of luxury, this is your spot.

Review Date: 6/19/2021

You will not regret staying here! Very comfortable, private, and fun place to spend a weekend! This home has everything you need and more. The sunrise and sunsets are breathtaking. Definitely an experience I won’t forget. Great hiking trails for active people and there’s plenty to do if your staying in to avoid the heat!

Review Date: 6/17/2021

This stay was so nice!! It was definitely the nicest Airbnb we have ever stayed in and has the best views of the beautiful desert terrain and rock formations! would definitely stay again for the amenities! :)

Review Date: 5/30/2021

This property is amazing! Beautiful, peaceful, clean and well stocked with amenities to keep you entertained . I would come back here and stay for a month. Good for families with kids and also for adults -only vacations as well.

Review Date: 4/26/2021

I had one of the best birthday weekends here, at first I felt the price was a bit high but the experience was so unique and incredible. While the house itself was very stylish and modern, extremely clean, and well equipped - it’s the location that was mind blowing. We had first planned to go on a hike on nearby trails but we never even had to leave the property to enjoy the beautiful scenery. We took a stroll right and climbed a few rocks and were able to see the vast landscape right from our backyard. I’ve never seen so many stars in my life, never knew there were so many shooting stars every night. I must have seen 10 in just the two nights we stayed. Laying in the jacuzzi taking in the night sky was such a special moment. We did plenty of cooking and the kitchen is so well stocked with Wolf appliances and cookware. And the beds were so comfortable!! Can’t forget about the 4 hammocks and the bocce ball set up either. A perfect weekend on such an incredible property.

Review Date: 4/5/2021

Nice out of the way place to feel disconnected from the city. Quiet and peaceful at night. Great kitchen to cook in. Internet could be a little faster but that's probably par for the remote area.

Review Date: 4/2/2021

High Desert Fade is a great place to stay with hiking and rock climbing right outside the front door. The home has high-end appliances (Wolf range) and is decorated very well. The hammocks are heavenly.

Review Date: 3/22/2021

This house is very special...the architecture, the landscape and being able to look at the stars from your bed was very special. Really appreciated the nice Global knives and all new high quality kitchen wares for cooking! Would definitely return again to this special spot for the incredible house, amenities and incredible walks right outside the door.

Review Date: 3/8/2021

A lovely house to stay in! Aside from the fantastic location (if you like privacy and nature), a beautiful space with everything tip top from appliances to furniture, beds & wonderful bathrooms. An unusual experience for a rental. In case you intend to use both bedrooms there’s no need to fight for the better one because they are identical:) We loved our stay here, and think you will as well.
