-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 Horse Around. Some of our favorite options available to you:

–Joshua Tree National Park: 800,000 acres of mystical beauty - Joshua Tree National Park is one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures. Sweeping, grand in scale and populated by granite monoliths and voluptuous rock and boulder formations. This quiet land, conducive to meditation and roaming, was carved by extremes in climate - wind, rain and an ever-present, relentless sun. Diverse forms of plant life are found everywhere, but none as unique or prevalent as the park’s namesake: the Joshua tree, standing majestically across the vast topography.

–Pioneertown: Step back in time to this rustic Old West-style village. Wander through the historic buildings, visit unique shops, catch a live music performance at Pappy & Harriets, and experience the Wild West charm.

• The Integratron: New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.

Everything at your fingertips and more, when you book with us today!

Horse Around was exactly as described— on beautiful grounds with just enough seclusion but an easy drive to town and to the national park. The hot tub under the stars was a perfect end to every day. If you’re looking to cook, the kitchen is well equipped. There’s lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. And quiet! Enjoy the quiet!

Incredible secluded place in the desert on a beautiful plot of land with lots of boulders nearby to explore. The home itself was spotless and perfect in every way. The pool was DEFINITELY worth the cost to heat it especially in the winter. Will be returning here again! This home is perfection.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Place! It exceeded our expectations, and we enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay by an extra day. The home was equipped with everything we needed, making it feel comfortable and convenient. One evening, we accidentally locked one of the bathroom doors, and even though it was quite late (around 10 PM), the host responded promptly and arranged for someone to fix it the very next day. Such attentive service made our experience even better. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a hassle-free, enjoyable stay!

This is the most perfect Airbnb I have ever been to. It is more magical in real life than the photos! Often, when I go to an Airbnb, the set-up isn't logical (why are the dishes stored over there? Why can't I find a bowl, but there is a cheese grater? Where is everything I need?!) Homestead Modern feels like a dream: A perfectly hip, modern, desert vibe that managed to feel like I've always lived there. Everything was where it should be, the space was perfectly set up, the flow of the living room and kitchen were superb. The bedrooms stunning (both rooms had king bed, tons of space, and beautiful view). Somehow Homestead modern managed to procure the most perfect property (perfectly placed boulders, pool, etc) & every morning's magical sunrise, & starlight evening are everything you ever dreamed of in JT. Most importantly: they let me bring my dog. There is nothing better than a host who knows how much it means to have our best friend with us. Thank you. Can't wait to be back <3

This is so much more than a beautiful house in the desert, it is an experience you will remember forever!!!
- Review Date: 9/23/2024

This place is absolutely amazing!!! We got engaged while staying here!! This house is well situated for access to the park, & all the main towns around- but still feels removed & remote. The attention to detail in the home is amazing and the outdoor area is breathtaking. Highly, highly recommend. I have stayed in several places in the area and this property really stands out.

My husband and I stayed for a few days for his 50th bday. It was beyond beautiful. I could stare at the terrain for hours. Truly magnificent. The pool was amazing, and at night we watched the stars from the hot tub and went back and forth between the pool and hot tub because even in September the pool was perfect temperature to cool us off during the day, but swim-able and comfortable at night. We also bird watched for hours. The wild life was so cool to see. Lizards, rabbits, and so many cool birds. We enjoyed doing nothing but relaxing, even though there were games, movies and books, we decompressed and had some much needed quiet time. Will definitely stay again.

Great central location for Joshua Tree and Pioneertown with amazing stargazing! So luxurious to stargaze in the spa!

Excellent and well-maintained home. Everything was as advertised. It's a great natural setting and the pool/hot tub are perfect places to watch the stars at night.

We just returned from an unforgettable stay near Joshua Tree, and it truly felt like we were on another planet! The desert landscape was surreal, with striking rock formations and vast open spaces that made us feel like we were on Mars. The views of the stars were absolutely breathtaking—clear, endless, and bright like we've never seen before. The house itself was comfortable, well-equipped, and perfectly situated to take in the stunning surroundings. Whether it was sipping coffee on the porch at sunrise or stargazing late into the night, every moment was magical. If you're looking for a unique getaway that blends the mystery of space with the beauty of the desert, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Homestead Modern is the best home I’ve stayed at in Joshua Tree. Period. My wife and I went with friends to get away for the weekend. We all loved our stay. The home is beautiful inside and out and off the beaten path which was exactly what we wanted. It was so peaceful. The pool and spa were the highlight for our group. Stargazing at night while soaking in the hot tub was amazing. The house is decorated beautifully and the beds and furniture were very comfortable. I cannot wait to go back to Homestead Modern! Worth every penny.

One of the most stunning properties I’ve stayed. Beautiful finishing touches as well. 10/10 will be going back.

What a treat to stay here. Showed up to a clean, well designed 2 bedroom home. The house was just as described and with new well functioning appliances in the kitchen. Bathrooms were well designed with rainfall showers. Windows had beautiful views but insulated to protect the home from the heat and sound both inside and out. I have stayed in so many rental units to be disappointed by their pool/tub situation. Usually they're much more run down than what their pictures show. Not this place. I kept going in the pool to jump in and relax. Well designed, clean, and just so pleasant. There are a few steps to get to the pool/firepit. I took advantage of all of it and enjoyed nighttime stargazing all weekend. Thank you, thank you!

This house was absolutely breathtaking! The view is truly out of this world. We spent countless hours lounging by the pool and grilling delicious steaks while taking in the stunning scenery. It felt like we were completely secluded in our own private paradise. What surprised us was how easy it was to order groceries and Uber eats, making our stay even more relaxing. If you're searching for a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, this is the perfect place. Highly recommend!

I live in Los Angeles… wanted to get away for a private bday for my dad… THIS PLACE IS A GEM!!! I hesitate saying how perfect the stay was because I want to come back whenever I want. We were able to locate everything we needed for cooking and WE cook a lot!! We wanted a private place to feel like we could get away with the hustle and bustle of the city! WE HAD IT!!! The pool and outdoor fireplace was perfect. It took me about 5 days to find the perfect place…I was giving up… until this popped up… perfectly priced …EXTREMELY CLEAN!!! AND PRIVATE!! And most of all it was like a home you would aspire to visit in a magazine!The boulders make this place SPECTACULAR!My small pups LOVED the get away too… this place was soooo Sweet making sure the amenities for them were perfect!! Water bowls, beds, blankets and everything you need to make your best friends feel at home. The bed and blankets are wayyyyy above a hotel!!! The AC is bliss but you won’t need it because you will be outside!!

Horse Around is another incredible space by the team at Homestead Modern. The house and surrounding area are incredibly beautiful and the space feels like it belongs with the landscape. There are so many fun touches in the house and on the property. The space was spotless and exactly as advertised. The hosts are very friendly and responsive. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This is the second place we’ve stayed at by Homestead Modern and it will definitely not be the last. They are amazing!

Had a wonderful stay at Horse Around by Homestead Modern. The home was the perfect desert retreat. Property was comfortable, clean, and outfitted with a well stocked kitchen. The pool, hot tub, gas fire pit, and EV charger were great amenities! Homestead Modern was extremely communicative and provided thorough check in and check out instructions. Tip for future guests- read the check in info/ door combination prior to arrival, when you have service (in town), as cell service was spotty at the home (no issues once connected to the home wifi network). Though neighboring property was a distance away, there was a clear view from the pool area- so as the instructions mentioned, be mindful of noise, as sound carries in the desert ? Would definitely stay here again!

Romantic stay!

We had a great stay at horse around! We loved watching the wildlife and swimming in the pool! We had a great weekend celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. It's private, quiet, relaxing and romantic. We were worried about finding town and food but its only 10 mins away or less.

We had a romatic stay to celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary! It was private and peaceful. We loved watching the wildlife and using the pool- day and night. We had a beautiful weekend. We loved this home is in the boulders. It is stunning. We stayed cool inside and in the pool even in summer. We found groceries and yummy places to eat only 10 minutes away! They were super helpful, kind, and responsive.

Die Unterkunft ist modern und gut ausgestattet. Es gibt einen Grill, Waschmaschine & Trockner, Plattenspieler, ein paar Gesellschaftsspiele sind ebenfalls vorhanden. Für den Pool stehen außerdem Badetücher und Bademäntel zur Verfügung. Sauberkeit war in Ordnung, hätte an der ein oder anderen Stelle noch besser sein können. Die Kommunikation lief reibungslos und alle Informationen wurden im Vorfeld reichlich zur Verfügung gestellt. Wir haben hier eine tolle Zeit verbracht und kommen gerne wieder.

The Homestead Modern house in Yucca valley was everything we wanted for our getaway to visit Joshua tree! The location was the right balance of convenience and isolation, and the pool and hot tub was perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking. The kitchen and barbecue were great for cooking a nice dinner in the evenings, and the beds were super comfortable! We would gladly stay here again, a true five star review (disclaimer, the host did ask us for a 5 star review, so consider that while reading others but this was a perfect airbnb experience that exceeded expectations)

Truly a beautiful place- wish we stayed longer! From the photos we knew it was an amazing spot, but the energy there was even better in real life. So much room to explore the back yard, close to the town, and this air bnb felt so special with the amazing boulders. Owners were extremely nice and accommodating as well, which made everything seamless! Chic and fun interiors and great natural light. Couldn't recommend more and definitely want to come back xx

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Horse Around house. The home itself is beautiful...every little detail is so thoughtful. The finishings and the furnishings are perfect...someone with a great eye chose everything in this home. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook and make ourselves at home. We listened to some great records and played fancy Connect4 and enjoyed lots of quality time in the space. Despite the home being beautiful, the real star of this listing is the outdoor space. Being surrounded by boulders like that was truly magical. Relaxing in the hot tub under the stars in the quiet peace of the desert was really spectacular. Renting this place is a little spendy, but it was definitely worth every penny for such a luxurious, gorgeous home and environment. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

We spent five incredible days at Horse Around and truly had the best Airbnb experience of our lives. We stumbled upon this listing whilst looking for a place in the Yucca Valley and were a bit hesitant to book at first, seeing as it was a brand new listing. However, we were quickly sold on the incredible location and from the very first contact, Homestead Modern took away any doubts that we may have had and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. The house itself is absolutely stunning - everything is brand new, super clean and aesthetically just the nicest place, not cluttered at all, but still so cozy! Beds were super comfortable and the kitchen stocked to perfection. The view from every single window is absolutely breathtaking, too. The biggest selling point though are the outdoor areas and the pool/spa in particular. It really feels like you’re completely by yourself in this beautiful landscape! If you stumble upon this gem, book it now!!

Desert Dreams

Hello fellow wanderers, I recently had the pleasure of staying at the iconic "Horse Around" in Pioneertown—a desert oasis that blends mid-century chic with modern comfort. Perched on the edge of untouched wilderness and surrounded by weathered boulders, "Horse Around" is a mid-century gem meticulously restored in 2023. The original butterfly roof and the blend of California modernism with Scandinavian hygge comforts create an enchanting atmosphere. This 2-bed cabin is a canvas of contemporary living, offering sweeping terrazzo-tiled pool views and numerous seating areas that follow the sun. The heated in-ground pool and spa, surrounded by boulders, provide a sensory floating experience. The fully equipped kitchen, outdoor dining with a propane BBQ, and the mesmerizing outdoor fire-pit complete the experience. The outdoor spaces seamlessly integrate with the desert landscape. The San Pedro cactus garden, the original water towers, and the propane fire-pit area surrounded by native plants add to the charm. The pool and covered lounge area with sun loungers capture majestic views. With Joshua Tree just a 15-minute drive away, "Horse Around" offers both tranquility and accessibility. The full-time, local support team ensures a seamless experience. Thank you very much for the stay. Will be back!!

Horse Around was exactly as described— on beautiful grounds with just enough seclusion but an easy drive to town and to the national park. The hot tub under the stars was a perfect end to every day. If you’re looking to cook, the kitchen is well equipped. There’s lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the view. And quiet! Enjoy the quiet!

Incredible secluded place in the desert on a beautiful plot of land with lots of boulders nearby to explore. The home itself was spotless and perfect in every way. The pool was DEFINITELY worth the cost to heat it especially in the winter. Will be returning here again! This home is perfection.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Place! It exceeded our expectations, and we enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay by an extra day. The home was equipped with everything we needed, making it feel comfortable and convenient. One evening, we accidentally locked one of the bathroom doors, and even though it was quite late (around 10 PM), the host responded promptly and arranged for someone to fix it the very next day. Such attentive service made our experience even better. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a hassle-free, enjoyable stay!

This is the most perfect Airbnb I have ever been to. It is more magical in real life than the photos! Often, when I go to an Airbnb, the set-up isn't logical (why are the dishes stored over there? Why can't I find a bowl, but there is a cheese grater? Where is everything I need?!) Homestead Modern feels like a dream: A perfectly hip, modern, desert vibe that managed to feel like I've always lived there. Everything was where it should be, the space was perfectly set up, the flow of the living room and kitchen were superb. The bedrooms stunning (both rooms had king bed, tons of space, and beautiful view). Somehow Homestead modern managed to procure the most perfect property (perfectly placed boulders, pool, etc) & every morning's magical sunrise, & starlight evening are everything you ever dreamed of in JT. Most importantly: they let me bring my dog. There is nothing better than a host who knows how much it means to have our best friend with us. Thank you. Can't wait to be back <3

This place is absolutely amazing!!! We got engaged while staying here!! This house is well situated for access to the park, & all the main towns around- but still feels removed & remote. The attention to detail in the home is amazing and the outdoor area is breathtaking. Highly, highly recommend. I have stayed in several places in the area and this property really stands out.

My husband and I stayed for a few days for his 50th bday. It was beyond beautiful. I could stare at the terrain for hours. Truly magnificent. The pool was amazing, and at night we watched the stars from the hot tub and went back and forth between the pool and hot tub because even in September the pool was perfect temperature to cool us off during the day, but swim-able and comfortable at night. We also bird watched for hours. The wild life was so cool to see. Lizards, rabbits, and so many cool birds. We enjoyed doing nothing but relaxing, even though there were games, movies and books, we decompressed and had some much needed quiet time. Will definitely stay again.

We just returned from an unforgettable stay near Joshua Tree, and it truly felt like we were on another planet! The desert landscape was surreal, with striking rock formations and vast open spaces that made us feel like we were on Mars. The views of the stars were absolutely breathtaking—clear, endless, and bright like we've never seen before. The house itself was comfortable, well-equipped, and perfectly situated to take in the stunning surroundings. Whether it was sipping coffee on the porch at sunrise or stargazing late into the night, every moment was magical. If you're looking for a unique getaway that blends the mystery of space with the beauty of the desert, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Homestead Modern is the best home I’ve stayed at in Joshua Tree. Period. My wife and I went with friends to get away for the weekend. We all loved our stay. The home is beautiful inside and out and off the beaten path which was exactly what we wanted. It was so peaceful. The pool and spa were the highlight for our group. Stargazing at night while soaking in the hot tub was amazing. The house is decorated beautifully and the beds and furniture were very comfortable. I cannot wait to go back to Homestead Modern! Worth every penny.

What a treat to stay here. Showed up to a clean, well designed 2 bedroom home. The house was just as described and with new well functioning appliances in the kitchen. Bathrooms were well designed with rainfall showers. Windows had beautiful views but insulated to protect the home from the heat and sound both inside and out. I have stayed in so many rental units to be disappointed by their pool/tub situation. Usually they're much more run down than what their pictures show. Not this place. I kept going in the pool to jump in and relax. Well designed, clean, and just so pleasant. There are a few steps to get to the pool/firepit. I took advantage of all of it and enjoyed nighttime stargazing all weekend. Thank you, thank you!
