This home is part of a larger complex known simply as Orion. The entire Orion compound consists of this home + an additional home called Orion (Major/Minor) located 100 yards away. While guests can easily walk to the other home from this home, it is completely separate with its own parking, entrance, and amenities. If you are renting out this space, the other home can be rented out to another group. If you are interested in renting both spaces, as a 4 bedroom complex, please book Orion Joshua Tree: https://airbnb.com/h/orionjoshuatree

THE SPACE
Orion Joshua Tree was designed with privacy in mind and can accommodates up to 6 guests. This house is the main house, Orion (*Major), and is a spacious, free-standing three bedroom, three bathroom residence organized around a south-facing central courtyard and pool deck. All bedrooms are accessed off the entry breezeway and courtyard providing easy access to the spectacular 70 foot long infinity edge reflecting swimming pool and spa that rises as a jewel-like mirage in seamless continuity with the desert sky. Each bedroom is designed as a stand-alone suite complete with a full bathroom, king-size platform bed and Parachute linens. All bathrooms feature walk-in showers accented with rain shower fixtures.

BED & BATH CONFIGURATIONS
The high ceilings, crisp white painted walls and extensive glazing in all bedrooms allow our guests to feel a connection with the desert while providing a calming interior space. Bathrooms are fitted with custom built walnut sink cabinetry and the roll-in shower floors are clad with responsibly-harvested Cumaru wood planking.

ESSENTIALS & ECO-FRIENDLY CONSIDERATION
The most current green building code practices were incorporated into the design and construction of the two houses that inhabit this site. A 9.0 kW solar panel system is used to power both of the houses, roof and exterior walls are heavily insulated and passive solar design features were incorporated to minimize heating and cooling demands. Mini-split heat pump air conditioning units provide energy efficient heating and cooling to all interior areas with individual units provided in each bedroom. Re-use and re-purposing of building materials at various stages of construction allowed for the minimal generation and export of construction waste.

Parking is available for 4 vehicles

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 Orion Major. 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.

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

Access

You will have the entire house and property to yourself. Only registered guests are allowed, unless specifically agreed upon during the booking process.

While we encourage taking walks on the property and in the National Park, please do not wander into our neighbor's backyards in the surrounding area as you will be trespassing on private property.

Really magical impressions, tastefully furnished, light and clean architecture, we were very happy at the place.

Perfect location. In between the park entrance and main town area. Each bedroom suite has its own separate entrance, the pool and jacuzzi were incredible (most pools and hot tubs in joshua tree airbnbs are small, and this one was not!). Good communication with hosts. There was some discrepancy in the ability to checkout later/extra charge, but resolved. Home was extremely well kept and clean!
- Review Date: 10/29/2024

We absolutely loved this place! It was so good it made it hard to leave and visit the park! We will be back :)

Super clean home. The pool was magnificent. Easy check-in. Kitchen had all the bells whistles.
- Review Date: 10/3/2024

Absolutely stunning property. Booked this last minute (day of at 7pm) as our other Airbnb didn't meet expectations. Immediately after booking both directions and check in instructions were sent over to me. Check in was simple. Photos matched the space exactly. Really enjoyed the record player and the books in the living room. Thank you!
- Review Date: 10/2/2024

Pictures do not do this Homestead justice! Serene, beautiful scenery with a modern home make this the perfect getaway in Joshua Tree. From relaxing by the pool to cooking a delicious meal in the kitchen or on the grill this property was the perfect oasis that we needed. Highly recommended and will look to go back in the future.
- Review Date: 9/5/2024

Highly recommend.
- Review Date: 8/23/2024

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb in Joshua Tree! The property was incredibly private, providing the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The space was not only clean and comfortable but also beautifully designed, with a modern touch that made it feel so cozy and welcoming.
- Review Date: 8/22/2024

This place was exactly what we four busy professionals needed! We desired peace, serenity, an escape, etc. and Homestead Modern met our desires to a T! Funny, the place didn't have a TV, as we thought we wanted to watch a film or two, but after a few hours we realized we did not need a television at all! The place was comfy and serene enough. And the pool??!!!! The pool is/was EVERYTHING! Gorgeous, clean, artsy, just the crown jewel of the property! Loved how each room came with a bathroom suite practically. Thank you, thank you! We look forward to visiting again.
- Review Date: 8/15/2024

Great pool!! Kitchen really well stocked. Great view from the master bedroom.
- Review Date: 8/14/2024

I cannot exaggerate how much we loved our stay at Orion Major. It truly offers everything you can dream of for a rejuvenating time away. The building itself sits within the landscape carefully framing the beautiful surroundings. The area forces you to slow down and spend time observing the light, topography and wildlife that surrounds you. The property boasts everything you can think of for a comfortable, convenient and inspirational stay without being fussy. Top quality linen, cookware, comfortable space for everyone to exist seperately together and a stunning pool. This was a stop on a longer road trip for us, but we have fallen in love and would love to return to spend more time here. A huge thank you. ??
- Review Date: 8/12/2024

Beautiful private getaway. Kitchen has everything you need - if you’re big on spices, bring your own. The pool was incredible. Will be coming back.
- Review Date: 8/9/2024

From check in to check out, we had an amazing experience. All the amenities and the views were awesome. Would definitely come back again!
- Review Date: 7/28/2024

As advertised very good spot to stay the one thing that was left out of the description unless I midsized it was that it’s literally 3 minutes away from Joshua Tree National Park
- Review Date: 7/27/2024

Beautiful place!! The written instructions are very helpful, but we personally had no problems getting to the home using maps. Have no idea where the washer/dryer are and didn’t find info about it listed anywhere, but ultimately did not ask host or end up needing them anyways. Loved the suites with separate entrances. Note that one suite is attached to the living area/kitchen. I misinterpreted that the suites were all separate from the living area/kitchen. Just some items to note! Overall loved the place and would stay again. So close to entrance of the national park.

Great stay
- Review Date: 6/30/2024

We had an amazing time staying at this Airbnb! The place was spotless and super comfortable, and the views were absolutely stunning. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, making it easy to cook our own meals. Everything about our stay was perfect. We really enjoyed our time here and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful getaway!
- Review Date: 6/25/2024

Great place. I fell in love with the view and can’t wait to come back and bring my friends.
- Review Date: 6/24/2024

We had a great time and we are already back planning our trip back for a second stay!! Highly recommend anyone to stay here! I love that all the rooms are separate and all have their own bathrooms and separate entrances!
- Review Date: 6/21/2024

Lovely place in Joshua Tree. Minutes from national park entrance. Would stay there again but would possibly wait for a cooler month (we traveled in June).
- Review Date: 6/16/2024

Absolutely outstanding place! Couldn’t have asked for anything better super easy to find views are beautiful and food is great close by.
- Review Date: 6/12/2024

What an amazing stay! We loved the desert landscape in the backyard. We had experiences with coyote, jackrabbits, hummingbirds and kangaroo rats just to name a few. It was an amazing experience getting to be so close to the wildlife while still feeling safe. We can’t wait to return
- Review Date: 6/1/2024

Very short drive to Joshua Tree National Park. Lots of kitchenware. Beautiful views from the pool and hot tub. Would stay again!
- Review Date: 5/21/2024

Perfect place in Joshua Tree! The other houses are far enough that you can't hear any neighbors, but close enough so you don't feel like you're lost in the desert. The house is beautifully designed, and so is the swimming pool. The only con I can find is that the water system for the pool is located next to the master bedroom, and it's loud...

Great spot to explore all that Joshua Tree has to offer, hope to be back one day!

Great place to stay with some friends. Just note that the house is separated so you need to cross a little courtyard (only a few steps) to get to the other bedrooms. They have everything you need for the kitchen to cook. Our favorite part was the pool since it doesn’t have an overhead covering so you’ll be able to see the stars at night. Also, very close to the national park entrance.

Wonderful stay. Much enjoyed the pool and hot tub, the location next to the park entrance, the beautiful design of the house and outdoor area and the superb attention to detail inside and out! We felt quite pampered. Hope to return.

Amazing place to stay checked every box. Family friendly, friend friendly, dog friendly, close to the park and town. Plus a pool and jacuzzi!!! Amazing!

Had an amazing stay here! This is my second time renting an airbnb through this management company and they are truly the best! They have the best communication and overall incredibly helpful. The place was outstanding and the views were just incredible! Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing property. Highly recommended!
- Review Date: 4/10/2024

We loved the beautiful views from the house and the spa. Every window and view seemed intentional and well placed. The house would be really well suited to three couples or three individuals, with two of the rooms having a separate keypad entrance off of the courtyard. The rooms have lots or privacy if you are looking for that. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the cookware and utensils you would need to make meals at home, which let us linger in the morning and enjoy the space. The house is super conveniently located just outside of the park entrance. As others have mentioned, do follow the instructions on how to get there and not your GPS. All in all we had an enjoyable stay and would come back again.

We had a great stay and the property was really nice! Unfortunately, the rooms were disconnected without a common interior hallway and there was no tv on the entire property.

Orion Major was very near the northern entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. It’s located off a desert road which was not maintained however, once we arrived we were delighted! The modern structures surround a pool, hot tub and outdoor living is protected from the wind and private. Modern conveniences and well appointed interiors added to the comfort of our stay. I highly recommend this home and the responsiveness of Homestead Modern. They responded quickly to any questions. Listed as 22 mi from our search in Palm Springs was as the crow flies and 48-1:08 drive time to town. This was my mistake since from outside the area.
- Review Date: 2/28/2024

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay at the house. It had everything we needed for a nice retreat in the desert and the perfect surroundings, all the amenities and the decoration that made us feel welcome. We had a super peaceful evening watching at the stars and it was exactly what we were looking for. I'd definitely come back any time soon.

Amazing house, pool, and area! Even better people at Homestead Modern! We were given an amazing experience by Homestead Modern, and the amazing atmosphere the home in Joshua tree provided us. 10/10!!!
- Review Date: 2/9/2024

Overall we loved staying at the place. It was hard to locate and the address on the Airbnb listing was wrong and we went to someone else's place searching for the lockbox and keys. Once we located the place through line by line instructions from the host on road intersections we were able to checkin. The place was great, spacious and was able to accommodate our entire family. Kitchen had all the necessary amenities and vessels to make food. We did not use the pool as it was extremely cold. There is an extra cost (expensive) to heat the pool and we felt that the cost for the place could have been offset by giving people the option to either pay for using the pool or not because the overall price per night we paid was pretty expensive. The split heat pumps initially gave a lot of problems but somehow we managed to get the individual heat pumps working although the first night a few of us had to sleep in the cold. Overall we enjoyed the stay and the host was great. Recommend this place.

- Review Date: 11/8/2023

Came with two friends for a long weekend. The place is gorgeous, very well equipped, impeccably clean. Excellent location relative to JT Park, close enough to town for a quick drive to the coffee shop. Is on a smaller dirt road, would recommend arriving by daylight if possible.
- Review Date: 10/17/2023

I loved the home, pool, and location. It was magical! Very important though not to use any phone app navigation to find it. We got very lost because apple directions took us to another location. The host was amazing and helped us patiently to find the house. I recommend following the hosts written directions and not using your phone to find the home. Hopefully this will be fixed soon by maps. The home is in the perfect location between the Park and Town. We loved the pool and the views. The space was really open and beautiful. I liked the configuration of the home too.
- Review Date: 10/12/2023

Our group of 6 adults, 2 small children and 2 dogs really enjoyed our stay at this property. The pool and hot tub were stand out features. There were some small pool floats provided but no shade/umbrellas. The location was perfect - 5 minutes from town and very close to the best Joshua Tree National Park entrance. The hosts wrote a personalized note, offered us a complementary bottle of wine and were very responsive. The place was well-equipped with paper towels, dishes/ cookware, blankets, towels, etc. Its new so it lacks a few random conveniences but overall is wonderful. It would have been nice to have the air conditioning on in anticipation of us checking in. It took a while to cool the large main living space down after we arrived on a very hot afternoon. Beds were firm but comfortable. Be sure to understand the pet rules and be aware that you can’t take your dogs on hikes in the national park. Overall I would recommend this property for a luxury family-friendly trip.

Beautiful home! Thank you!

The house is absolutely stunning and matches the pictures perfectly. The infinity pool is the standout feature. Homestead Modern was very responsive and provided helpful assistance. However, the address provided was incorrect, and following their instructions led us to spend an hour searching for the property. I suggest Homestead Modern include the precise location or the coordinates to facilitate easier access. Despite this, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

Hi Giulia, We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the incorrect address provided during your stay. We have taken action to assure this will not happen again and made sure that the turn by trun directions were in fact correct, as GPS can be very unreliable in this area. We're thrilled that despite the initial challenge, you thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to hosting you again in the future.

My friends and I had a fabulous weekend at this Joshua Tree property. We loved that each bedroom had the same set up with a king size bed and its own en suite bathroom so each couple had privacy. The pool & lounge areas were comfortable and had fantastic views. The home was clean and well thought out with everything guests need. We had a great time cooking, hanging out in the pool, looking at the stars at night, and just relaxing together. We would definitely stay here again!
- Review Date: 9/12/2023

This place was immaculate! The pictures definitely match up with how it is in real life. The swimming pool was a dream and was our favorite thing to do during our Labor Day weekend. One thing to note if you’re going as a group of single girls.. the bedrooms are all in separate “units.” PERFECT place for families or couples, but just something different to consider if you’re just three girls alone. other than that the host was very responsive and the place is just awesome!!

This is a beautiful newly built modern home just a mile from Joshua tree National park. The residence was peaceful, private, clean, and beautifully artistic. The pool, spa, and views are the best part. Every window in the house views the pool and the hillside full of Joshua trees. The amenities were a wonderful plus and the home decor was modern and meticulous. Homestead modern was highly professional from start to finish and very responsive and helpful at all times. We highly recommend this Airbnb during any time of year!

What a fabulous home! We loved staying here and will most definitely be back. The setup of the home is perfect, with the kitchen, main bedroom and living room and 2 separate bedrooms located around a stunning infinity style pool with gorgeous views. Decor is elegant and simple. No clutter. High-end appliances and accessories. Can’t wait to be back. Thank you!

Great place to relax! My friends and I had a great time.

Review Date: 11/12/2024

Perfect location. In between the park entrance and main town area. Each bedroom suite has its own separate entrance, the pool and jacuzzi were incredible (most pools and hot tubs in joshua tree airbnbs are small, and this one was not!). Good communication with hosts. There was some discrepancy in the ability to checkout later/extra charge, but resolved. Home was extremely well kept and clean!

Review Date: 10/29/2024

We absolutely loved this place! It was so good it made it hard to leave and visit the park! We will be back :)

Loved my stay here! Was everything I expected and more! Pool was amazing, loved every room, beds were amazing, great details like the artwork, the record player and games. Absolutely loved this place, my favorite Airbnb so far!!

Review Date: 10/11/2024

Absolutely stunning property. Booked this last minute (day of at 7pm) as our other Airbnb didn't meet expectations. Immediately after booking both directions and check in instructions were sent over to me. Check in was simple. Photos matched the space exactly. Really enjoyed the record player and the books in the living room. Thank you!

Pictures do not do this Homestead justice! Serene, beautiful scenery with a modern home make this the perfect getaway in Joshua Tree. From relaxing by the pool to cooking a delicious meal in the kitchen or on the grill this property was the perfect oasis that we needed. Highly recommended and will look to go back in the future.

Review Date: 9/5/2024

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb in Joshua Tree! The property was incredibly private, providing the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The space was not only clean and comfortable but also beautifully designed, with a modern touch that made it feel so cozy and welcoming.

Review Date: 8/22/2024

This place was exactly what we four busy professionals needed! We desired peace, serenity, an escape, etc. and Homestead Modern met our desires to a T! Funny, the place didn't have a TV, as we thought we wanted to watch a film or two, but after a few hours we realized we did not need a television at all! The place was comfy and serene enough. And the pool??!!!! The pool is/was EVERYTHING! Gorgeous, clean, artsy, just the crown jewel of the property! Loved how each room came with a bathroom suite practically. Thank you, thank you! We look forward to visiting again.

I cannot exaggerate how much we loved our stay at Orion Major. It truly offers everything you can dream of for a rejuvenating time away. The building itself sits within the landscape carefully framing the beautiful surroundings. The area forces you to slow down and spend time observing the light, topography and wildlife that surrounds you. The property boasts everything you can think of for a comfortable, convenient and inspirational stay without being fussy. Top quality linen, cookware, comfortable space for everyone to exist seperately together and a stunning pool. This was a stop on a longer road trip for us, but we have fallen in love and would love to return to spend more time here. A huge thank you. ??

As advertised very good spot to stay the one thing that was left out of the description unless I midsized it was that it’s literally 3 minutes away from Joshua Tree National Park

Review Date: 7/27/2024

Beautiful place!! The written instructions are very helpful, but we personally had no problems getting to the home using maps. Have no idea where the washer/dryer are and didn’t find info about it listed anywhere, but ultimately did not ask host or end up needing them anyways. Loved the suites with separate entrances. Note that one suite is attached to the living area/kitchen. I misinterpreted that the suites were all separate from the living area/kitchen. Just some items to note! Overall loved the place and would stay again. So close to entrance of the national park.

Review Date: 7/19/2024

We had an amazing time staying at this Airbnb! The place was spotless and super comfortable, and the views were absolutely stunning.

Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful getaway!

What an amazing stay! We loved the desert landscape in the backyard. We had experiences with coyote, jackrabbits, hummingbirds and kangaroo rats just to name a few. It was an amazing experience getting to be so close to the wildlife while still feeling safe. We can’t wait to return

Review Date: 6/1/2024

Perfect place in Joshua Tree! The other houses are far enough that you can't hear any neighbors, but close enough so you don't feel like you're lost in the desert. The house is beautifully designed, and so is the swimming pool. The only con I can find is that the water system for the pool is located next to the master bedroom, and it's loud...

Great place to stay with some friends. Just note that the house is separated so you need to cross a little courtyard (only a few steps) to get to the other bedrooms.
