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

If you’re looking for a beautiful, clean, modern, private, and tranquil desert getaway, you’ve found it. This home felt newly built and outfitted by a designer, yet was still very comfortable for our girls’ trip. Quality linens, towels and kitchen appliances. The host was great - responsive and friendly. coffee provided at the home was wonderful as was the food at Snakebite Roadhouse, the bar/diner that’s 5 minutes away. Enjoy the gorgeous Joshua Trees on property and the lovely the mosaic outdoor shower (that we didn’t use). Stargazing in the hot tub is a MUST. Highly recommend this 5-star home!

The place feels open and it lets an amazing amount of natural light. Great views and fairly private! Kitchen is super well stocked and super modern, had everything we needed and a lot more. The host was super proactive and had very clear instructions on how to reach the place, check-in and make use of all the amenities. The only reason I couldn't do 5 stars was because we arrived at night, and while we were expecting a dirt road to get to the house, it was a bit worse than expected. If you have an SUV or truck you'll have no issues at all. If you have a vehicle that's lower to the ground, I wouldn't recommend it.
- Review Date: 11/8/2024
Dirt roads are indeed common in our area and we do make sure to inform guests about the road conditions in our instructions. Using GPS might take you down the unfavorable dirt rods which is why we recommend guests to follow our directions. We understand it can be a bit rough, especially for lower-clearance vehicles at night, so we appreciate you sharing your experience for future guests. We’d love to welcome you back, and thank you again for the kind feedback!

Our stay at Modern Mosaic was a fantastic experience. The house lived up to its hype, and then some. It had excessive amount of interior and exterior spaces for myself and two others to relax, cook, connect, and stargaze. The property was vast that we jokingly said we could have hiked exploring this place rather than JTNP. Interior was simply elegant, and the kitchen boasted much room and storage, and came equipped with most kitchen essentials and modern amenities. Its location overlooked the valley below and allowed us the peace and privacy to enjoy the desert vibes and brilliant night sky. The host promptly responded to inquiries and provided helpful suggestions to enhance our stay. We hope to come back soon!

Great Views
My mother and sister and I stayed here on a retreat of sorts. It was perfect for us, and all of the bedrooms were beautiful. We never really got ran out of things to do while we were there with a huge hot tub, books, games, and excellent views day and night. It was close enough to the grocery store, but far enough away to feel a bit of seclusion. The home itself was inspiring with the best decor. The dining room chairs were so neat! Each touch was neither too much nor too little- just spot on. We all really enjoyed the kitchen and the retro look! Those tiles were a real statement and my sister especially was inspired, as she is currently remodeling her own kitchen. It was also well equipped and that is so appreciated when cooking away from home. As far as the amenities, all of the beds felt really comfortable and I enjoyed the scent of the shampoo and conditioner. The last thing I wanted to highlight specifically was the towels! The towels were SO soft and I'd like to know where they're from so I can buy some for my home. I want to come back soon with a few friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
