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 Sommer Ranch. 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.

My 3 kids and I were able to get into this place suuuper last minute and SO glad we did! The house is private enough without being extremely secluded. My kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool and sunroom, the game room in the garage was a pleasant surprise, and the amenities were all as listed. Some reviews complained of the spa not being hot but a simple message to the always responsive host had that fixed for me immediately (just had to turn it on for an hour)! Overall I think this is a great spot for families with kids over 5, and anyone else who wants to enjoy the beauty of Yucca Valley! Huge plus: it’s about 10 minutes away from all major shopping, and doesn’t involve any off-roading. Will happily book again in the future.

It is a lovely home with tons of space and many convenient amenities, which I loved. It is peaceful, relaxing, the surroundings are lovely & setting feels very private. Stayed here with our two kids & they enjoyed the games & puzzles, pool area and TV - gave everyone plenty of options to be entertained. As a mom, you want access to laundry, plenty of towels, towels for the pool, spices, and basics for cooking and this place had it all. We were sad to leave and hope to return one day.

The place was amazing. The house was kept exceptionally clean! There were few minor issues which I informed the host and they responded very quickly! Other than that, the instructions on how to use the pool, etc were clear and informative. This will forever be a memorable place because I was able to propose to my fiancé at this location.

Great place on a large plot with good size fenced-in yard. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return! You feel like you’re in secluded desert ranch, but still you’re still only 5 minute drive away from stores etc. Also very close to national park and great hiking on back door too. My dog loved it as much as we did! Only couple of small things is that we wish there had been a charger for the Dyson vacuum. Loads of dust and little seed type things were walked in because of the high winds when we were there and it was hard to get them up with a broom from the rug so they kept getting stuck in our dog’s fur. (Otherwise wouldn’t normally be vacuuming on a short stay vacation!) And there were also a lot of dead bugs in the pool when we arrived even though the cover had been on, but that’s probably just part of being in the wilderness!

We stayed here with no transportation for three days after a car accident during a cross-country road trip. It was the best possible place to recover. We loved the pool and hot tub. It was right in town so no issue getting groceries and food delivered. Overall, the house was a great unexpected highlight to what was otherwise quite a difficult week.

Loved our stay! Felt like the perfect spot for trips to Joshua Tree and our day trip to Palm Springs. Probably a little big for just me and my husband but would be perfect for a group trip- we loved having the extra space to spread out and feel at home! Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Extraordinary experience in Joshua Tree. The home is contiguous with the National Park in a beautiful setting. We woke up to snow followed by sunshine and a full day in the park. The home is well-appointed with top notch appliances and decor. Beds were comfy, lots of hot water, windows to enjoy the view from every angle. The outdoor settings were very inviting. Perfect in every way.

We call this the Jewel of Joshua Tree. Great, great place to stay - rich assortment of amenities, unbelievably close to the park (we barely used a half a tank of gas during our stay despite going into the park everyday), quiet...really loved being here.

It was such a great place to stay for our first visit there. It was beautiful! The sun room was so warm and pretty. The spa was such fun activity for when we got settled in; felt like we went out and did an activity without going out and doing it. The place was so pretty. We used the board games provided, 10 min drive from the little town shops, and heater worked amazing.

We first looked at Palm Springs properties for a family get-together and are so happy we moved our search to Yucca Valley and found this property. We had beautiful views of sunrises and sunsets, distant mountains, and even a dramatic full moon rise and road runners (birds) in the back yard. The kitchen was updated and fully stocked, and we used the outdoor seating, fireplace and the grill often. The big dining table accommodated all of us, and there were enough seating areas to congregate or have a quiet conversation or personal time. The open concept layout was perfect. With Joshua Tree National Park close by, we made one or two outings every day to enjoy the trails and views. Grocery stores, cafes and lots of fast food chains are nearby, and we ordered delicious Middle Eastern takeout from Yucca Kabob for our first dinner. For families with children, there's a public park down the road with open spaces and play equipment. It was a wonderful stay all around.

This AirBnB has been one of the best ones we’ve stayed at in Joshua Tree!! The house was in a beautiful location! There were some neighbors but they weren’t that close and were not a bother at all. The location of this house has Beautiful views of the desert and of the mountains nearby. It was beautiful seeing the sunset every night! It also had All of the necessary items needed for cooking (so many spices and cooking utensils) relaxation, cleaning and comfort. Our little dog Loved it here too! We even enjoyed taking walks around the neighborhood and seeing all of the beautiful views and houses all around. And we definitely felt safe and comfortable at this home. Homestead Modern was super quick in answering any messages we would send and were So accommodating and helpful! We will definitely be staying here again and for sure be staying at more Homestead Modern locations in the future! Best Host and best locations ever!!

Great, quiet location with views of the mountains. The home was comfortable, clean, and well designed. Also, we had to reserve this home at the last minute due to issues with a home we reserved from VRBO (not related house manager). The house management responded quickly for our check in. Would stay here again!

By far the best AirBnB I've ever been to! It is a beautiful place, the location is right in the desert, very calm and at the same time really not far away from Joshua tree NP. In the house everything was super clean, in the kitchen we found everything that was needed and besides it is so well styled and at the same time cozy. Also you have beautiful view from the house into the desert. Besides, the communication was very clear and friendly. Everyone loved it!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. It's really quite a private location. There's a few houses nearby, but no direct line of sight into someone else's yard. We didn't see another soul during our 5 night stay. Stargazing in the backyard and a cup of tea by the back patio fire pit was a nightly ritual. The inside of the house is beautiful and spacious. The king size bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable. Planning to visit again soon.

This place felt like entering another world to me. It’s quiet and the air is as fresh as in the Swiss mountains- my home : ) Inside, the house is bright and each room offers a unique and breathtaking view. The layout was ideal for our party of six, plus a dog. Each room is carefully designed and decorated. I really enjoyed how the bathrooms offer plenty of surface space. Furniture is tasteful and comfortable. We made full use of the fully appointed and functional kitchen as well as the bbq. The fenced in part of this house’s large outdoor space was ideal for my grandchildren and our dog. Despite the privacy and seclusion that this place offers, shops, restaurants and activities are close by. Opportunities to enjoy everything the desert has to offer were plentiful and easy to reach for us. The host, Homestead Modern, has been extremely helpful with providing unique insights and tips on what to do. This place was perfect for me to slow down and recharge. We will definitely be back.

This home was absolutely perfect for our family. Our teenager loved record player! It was a little chilly so we couldn't take advantage of the amazing outdoor space, but we loved the fireplace. Easy check in and check out!

We stayed here for 2 months, and it was wonderful! It felt so private but was also just down the road from town. Our dogs loved the backyard, and we enjoyed sitting out there as well! It had everything we needed and more.

The location of this property is fantastic - hiking trails right from the driveway all the way into the northern corner of the park, where you can connect to miles of park trails. The interior is very tastefully decorated, with comfy furniture, and nice private outdoor seating options too. If you plan to cook, the gas stove is top notch, and there are actually sharp chef knives and non stick pans that are still in great shape - a rarity in most vacation rentals. Very quiet neighbourhood - the loudest sounds were the coyotes at night! Heating system worked well in the cold nights. Would definitely stay again.

Great space, convenient location, and great amenities. The house was easy to find. Once inside, we found that the actual space felt even better in person than in the photos. The living areas and the hallways are quite spacious. The kitchen is well stocked. We initially had an issue with the backyard firepit, but Homestead Modern was very prompt and communicative -- the property manager came to help fix the issue so that we eventually got to enjoy the firepit at night. If there's any downside personally I wished more windows would be able to open easily (some seems to be stuck from not been open for a long time), but that may not matter to others; we were sensitive to the scented reed diffuser so wanted more ventilation when we first got inside. On the other hand, the weather was quite cold during the time we were there, and the double layered windows and the central heating worked very well to keep the entire place warm and cozy. Thanks for a wonderful and memorable stay.

The home was very comfortable and had all the necessary things you'd need for a stay. The location is perfect and private. A couple of things that could be worked on are the front door knob and the flooring. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend to others

The place was great, and we had a lovely time. However, the place took new ownership between the time I booked the place and the time of stay. So there seemed to be some miscommunication here and there about checkout times and payments. Other than that, the stay was great.

Hello! Thanks for understanding as this wonderful home transitioned to new management. Airbnb apologized for the synch issues and we are so glad all was figured out and you had a lovely stay.

We truly loved our stay at Homestead Modern. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all of our meals and there were cozy areas everywhere for us to chill out and enjoy the views. The house is perfectly secluded while still being a close drive to Joshua Tree National Park and shops. Make sure to check out the Black Creek Canyon part of the National Park as it is only a 4 minute drive away. We fully enjoyed the outdoor space with the fire table in the cooler evenings.
