-- 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 Sunset Heights. 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 husband and I loved staying at Homestead Modern. The house is beautiful and fully stocked with whatever you need for your stay. The sunsets and sunrises were stunning; we enjoyed watching both from the hot tub, which was warm and toasty. The beds were comfy. Everything was spotless. It's a short drive to restaurants if you want to eat out, but the grill and a stocked kitchen made it easy to cook a nice meal. I would stay here again if I were back in the area. What a great place!

The property was beautiful and peaceful, and the hosts were extremely responsive. Highly recommend this listing!
- Review Date: 12/3/2024

This is a beautiful home withing minutes of the entrance to the National Park. We loved spending as much time as possible in the pool and hot tub which had amazing views. The house was pristine and felt brand new. Being so close to the park is essential as it allows you to beat the crowds which can back up the entrance on the weekends. The hosts were helpful, friendly, and responsive. We would love to stay here again in the future.
- Review Date: 11/18/2024

We’re so glad you enjoyed the home, pool, and hot tub, as well as the convenient location near the park. It’s great to hear you appreciated the pristine condition and our hosting. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

We had an amazing stay at Sunset Heights! The place is super clean, the pool is as beautiful as it looks on the pictures and the surroundings are amazing. The place is very easy to find, just minutes from Joshua Tree center, but still very private and quiet. The location is ideal for exploring Joshue Tree national park since only a 30 min drive from the doorstep you are in the heart of the park. Host was very friendly and responsive and solved all our asks in a matter of minutes.

Great spot! Absolutely beautiful sunset and sunrise, and a great view of the night sky from the pool area . Very short drive to the west entrance of the park, which is nice because you can most of your hiking in before the heat and the crowds. Hosts were very easy to communicate with, very responsive. The house was modern, beautiful, very clean

Amazing location. Views all around. Well equipped to cook.
- Review Date: 10/4/2024

Loved my stay here! The pool/spa was perfect and where I spent most of my time relaxing and taking in the desert, including a few stunning sunsets. I loved how close this house is to the Joshua Tree park entrance, and it was very easy to get to downtown Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley as well even though being at the house felt like being away from it all. Like many houses in the area, there was a dirt road to drive to get there — it was well maintained but my sedan struggled a bit so a car with a little extra clearance would be helpful. I would definitely stay here or at another Homestead Modern property again.
- Review Date: 9/18/2024

Nice, private location. Easy drive, even in sedan. This modern cabin is so cute! It feels clean and new, both inside and out. Had everything needed to cook/grill. The pool and spa are sparkly clear. Loved my stay!

Even better than the pictures! Perfect for ya romantic get away. I would come back again and again!
- Review Date: 8/9/2024

We had a wonderful peaceful stay at our property! When we had questions the host was very responsive and informative. The area has just enough shade to make using the pool and spa very pleasant while not obstructing the beautiful view. We are looking forward to our next stay
- Review Date: 8/1/2024

great location, beautiful home felt very comfortable and at home. loved the swimming pool and the beautiful sunset.
- Review Date: 7/31/2024

We absolutely loved this place! The house itself was perfect for two of us, but would be just as comfortable with four. The pool was amazing in the hot weather and the outdoor shower was a very nice touch. I would highly recommend this property!
- Review Date: 7/20/2024

We feel so fortunate to have stayed here. The house and surroundings looked exactly like the pictures. The house is at the end of a dirt road (our rented sedan did fine) and super private. This vacation was purely to relax and we did just that. We left the house only twice - once to hit the saloon in Pioneertown and once for brunch. Other than that, there was no reason to leave. We enjoyed swimming and stargazing at night (you’re at the top of a hill), the fire pit after dinner, middle of the day naps, the outdoor shower, and the local wildlife. Each morning we would have our coffee out front and watch a family of quail wander through the yard. We also got to see Dennis the jackrabbit and Rodney the coyote - we all minded our own business. Our total party was 4 adults and the living room and kitchen accommodated us perfectly. When we had too much sun one afternoon, we were all able to fit comfortably on the couch and decompress a bit. I am looking forward to staying here again.
- Review Date: 6/30/2024

Staying here greatly enhanced our enjoyment of Joshua Tree. The house is stylishly decorated and well-appointed. It feels secluded, but it is only a short drive away from the park, fun and quirky shops and restaurants, and necessities like gas and groceries. We loved watching wildlife, admiring panoramic views, swimming in the luxurious pool, and watching the full moon rise over the mountains. A beautiful house in a beautiful place!
- Review Date: 6/27/2024

Wife and I spent our 20th anniversary here. It was better thanI expected. I don't really stay Airbnb's however, staying here changed my mind for future stays. Pool was great. House is modern and well equipped what everything needed to feel at home. The night sky was amazing. Definitely coming back during the winter.
- Review Date: 6/2/2024

Came here for a little peace and quiet with the family and got exactly that. Very quiet location, the night time is a sight to see. The house was as described, very clean and well kept. The swimming pool is awesome, good shade. Homestead responded to all my needs, which weren't many. I will definitely return to this home, had a great time.
- Review Date: 6/2/2024

We really enjoyed our stay in this secluded villa with a beautiful view. The house is so neatly integrated into nature that wild inhabitants walk next to people. This makes it possible to observe the animals and plants of the desert on a daily basis. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends.

Lovely stay. Highly recommended for a private, relaxing getaway!

What a special home and setting! And the host team were proactive, helpful, all the information right at our fingertips or a text message away. We had a peaceful weekend mostly in the jacuzzi and pool, watching the local animal life cruise past us. Roadrunners, quail, big-eared rabbits, an amazing turtle who appreciated the classical music vibes one morning! Home is clean and pristine, cozy interior, wonderful products. Look forward to coming back!

Joshua Tree / Sunset Heights is a great little getaway. It is located right at the edge of the park with views over the valley. The way the house is situated feels very private. The 3 patios on the front, side and back of the house are very spacious and give you great outdoor access for relaxing and dining - all covered with pergolas for shade. I can't say enough about the furnishings and amenities - all top notch. The pool and spa is the perfect place to kick back and relax. This house is a perfect base to explore the park. The entrance is minutes away. I would definitely come back here again!

We loved our stay at this place and definitely will come back soon! What an amazing place surrounded by peaceful mountains and gorgeous views over Yucca Valley. The home was spotless clean, very new, modern, beautiful smelling and set in a peaceful mountain location. The garden has beautiful cacti and the pool is just a perfect treat after a day of hiking in close Joshua Tree National Park. Thank you for sharing your place on AirBnB!

This is a perfect get away. Clean. Modern. Perfect location. Quite full with everything you need. Hit tub and pool. We just had a wonderful stay and for sure will come back.

The property was exactly what I was looking for, great location close to the park entrance, thoroughly beautiful views and private so you could enjoy the outdoor amenities in peace. Amazing walking trails immediately outside the door, which lead to cool wildlife watching in the early mornings and after sunset. Only advice for other renters is to make sure your vehicle can handle a dirt road, (my standard SUV did fine, a smaller sedan could be tricky) and when making your way to the address just ignore any signs re: private road or closed. Your GPS will take you right to the front door! Enjoy!!

This was an amazing find near Joshua Tree. You really can’t stay any closer to the park entrance than this house. It’s very private and up at the top of a mountain with great views. It’s on a dirt road, but still easy to get to. We arrived at night, but had no trouble finding the house and getting inside. The hosts were quick communicators and even messaged during a windy night to tell me not to worry if any furniture outside blew around and they would handle it all. I had great cell service, and the WiFi was very speedy. The house is exactly as pictured, and very spacious inside. There is a laundry room, and lots of extra linens for the cold desert nights. It was perfectly clean as well. The kitchen is well stocked for pretty much any meal you’d like to make. The only thing that could be added is more plastic drink ware since glass is not allowed out by the pool. The outdoors is AMAZING- lots of space, and hot tub is very quick to heat up. Definitely would stay here again.

Even better than the photos. Great private location. Impeccably decorated and appointed. Probably my favorite air b and b I’ve ever visited.
- Review Date: 3/2/2024

Beautiful location! Love love the view. The morning sunset and sunrise were wonderful. Location is far enough from the busy street but still feel close enough that you can get there. It’s nicely decor and love all the outdoor chairs. We didn’t use them very much bc we only stay for one night and will definitely come back. If you are looking for a beautiful surrounding, it’s a place to be. Be aware of animal in the surroundings if you have pets. Always on leash for the little one. Otherwise enjoy

Astounding views surround this private and peaceful house on the hill. Relaxing lounge chairs are placed on each side of the wrap-around veranda, providing views of the national park, wilderness or valley. Architectural details and interior windows are located to enhance the views. Bedrooms are well proportioned and furnished comfortably. Hiking in the adjacent Mojave Land Trust preserve offered breathtaking vistas and boulders. We found it equal to the trails in the national park. Plus there are no crowds and it is literally right out the back door!! It was an amazing place to stay.

My husband and I loved staying at Homestead Modern. The house is beautiful and fully stocked with whatever you need for your stay. The sunsets and sunrises were stunning; we enjoyed watching both from the hot tub, which was warm and toasty. The beds were comfy. Everything was spotless. It's a short drive to restaurants if you want to eat out, but the grill and a stocked kitchen made it easy to cook a nice meal. I would stay here again if I were back in the area. What a great place!

Amazing AirBNB and experience. My wife and I are already looking to re-book later this year.

Review Date: 12/10/2024

This is a beautiful home withing minutes of the entrance to the National Park. We loved spending as much time as possible in the pool and hot tub which had amazing views. The house was pristine and felt brand new. Being so close to the park is essential as it allows you to beat the crowds which can back up the entrance on the weekends. The hosts were helpful, friendly, and responsive. We would love to stay here again in the future.

This location and home is wonderful and very unique. Every moment of the day we enjoyed the views from sunrise to sunset. Will definitely recommend.

Review Date: 11/9/2024

We had an amazing stay at Sunset Heights! The place is super clean, the pool is as beautiful as it looks on the pictures and the surroundings are amazing. The place is very easy to find, just minutes from Joshua Tree center, but still very private and quiet. The location is ideal for exploring Joshue Tree national park since only a 30 min drive from the doorstep you are in the heart of the park. Host was very friendly and responsive and solved all our asks in a matter of minutes.

Review Date: 11/4/2024

Great spot! Absolutely beautiful sunset and sunrise, and a great view of the night sky from the pool area . Very short drive to the west entrance of the park, which is nice because you can most of your hiking in before the heat and the crowds. Hosts were very easy to communicate with, very responsive. The house was modern, beautiful, very clean

Review Date: 10/10/2024

Loved my stay here! The pool/spa was perfect and where I spent most of my time relaxing and taking in the desert, including a few stunning sunsets. I loved how close this house is to the Joshua Tree park entrance, and it was very easy to get to downtown Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley as well even though being at the house felt like being away from it all. Like many houses in the area, there was a dirt road to drive to get there — it was well maintained but my sedan struggled a bit so a car with a little extra clearance would be helpful. I would definitely stay here or at another Homestead Modern property again.

Review Date: 9/18/2024

Nice, private location. Easy drive, even in sedan. This modern cabin is so cute! It feels clean and new, both inside and out. Had everything needed to cook/grill. The pool and spa are sparkly clear. Loved my stay!

Review Date: 9/16/2024

We had a wonderful peaceful stay at our property! When we had questions the host was very responsive and informative. The area has just enough shade to make using the pool and spa very pleasant while not obstructing the beautiful view. We are looking forward to our next stay

Review Date: 8/1/2024

We absolutely loved this place! The house itself was perfect for two of us, but would be just as comfortable with four. The pool was amazing in the hot weather and the outdoor shower was a very nice touch. I would highly recommend this property!

Review Date: 7/20/2024

We feel so fortunate to have stayed here. The house and surroundings looked exactly like the pictures. The house is at the end of a dirt road (our rented sedan did fine) and super private. This vacation was purely to relax and we did just that. We left the house only twice - once to hit the saloon in Pioneertown and once for brunch. Other than that, there was no reason to leave. We enjoyed swimming and stargazing at night (you’re at the top of a hill), the fire pit after dinner, middle of the day naps, the outdoor shower, and the local wildlife. Each morning we would have our coffee out front and watch a family of quail wander through the yard. We also got to see Dennis the jackrabbit and Rodney the coyote - we all minded our own business. Our total party was 4 adults and the living room and kitchen accommodated us perfectly. When we had too much sun one afternoon, we were all able to fit comfortably on the couch and decompress a bit. I am looking forward to staying here again.

Staying here greatly enhanced our enjoyment of Joshua Tree. The house is stylishly decorated and well-appointed. It feels secluded, but it is only a short drive away from the park, fun and quirky shops and restaurants, and necessities like gas and groceries. We loved watching wildlife, admiring panoramic views, swimming in the luxurious pool, and watching the full moon rise over the mountains. A beautiful house in a beautiful place!

Review Date: 6/27/2024

Wife and I spent our 20th anniversary here. It was better thanI expected. I don't really stay Airbnb's however, staying here changed my mind for future stays. Pool was great. House is modern and well equipped what everything needed to feel at home. The night sky was amazing. Definitely coming back during the winter.

Review Date: 6/2/2024

Came here for a little peace and quiet with the family and got exactly that. Very quiet location, the night time is a sight to see. The house was as described, very clean and well kept. The swimming pool is awesome, good shade. Homestead responded to all my needs, which weren't many. I will definitely return to this home, had a great time.

Review Date: 6/2/2024

We really enjoyed our stay in this secluded villa with a beautiful view. The house is so neatly integrated into nature that wild inhabitants walk next to people. This makes it possible to observe the animals and plants of the desert on a daily basis. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends.
