** Cleaning Protocols ***
As the only professional management company in the area, we have always maintained exceptional cleaning standards. We pay above the living wage standards; 100% of your cleaning fee is paid to the cleaners (i.e. no profit to us) and we insist on a professional level of cleaning between guests. We love the High Desert for a lot of reasons - including the open spaces, lack of crowds, and dry weather that we believe make it a safe place to visit.
Access Access
You have access to every room and feature of this beautiful home.

If you need a little more space, Shelter: Two can also be rented in conjunction with its sister property, Shelter: One, which sits on an adjacent 2 1/2-acre parcel of land. This is the perfect arrangement for larger groups.

Neighborhood Neighborhood
Monument Manor is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the Joshua Tree area given its immediate proximity to the park and breathtaking vistas of the area’s signature Craggy Mountains and desert plants.

When you’re ready for some outdoor adventure, Joshua Tree National Park’s West Entrance is just 2 minutes away by car.

Searching for great eats, drinks, shops, and things to do? Here are a few recommendations in Joshua Tree Village, a 5-minute drive away:

A truly breathtaking experience, exceptionally tranquil, well designed, clean, artsy get away. The hot tub was amazing late at night under the stars and cold winter air. The feeling of being in the middle of nowhere is something everyone's needs to experience, including the part where you get lost trying to find the building. Overall 10/10 would stay again.

DEFINITELY follow their directions and don't rely on google maps :) Overall it was an A+ stay - close to the park, easy to get into town, comfortable, and peaceful. Perfect stargazing from the hot tub or patio with the firepit to warm us up. Would recommend a thousand times over and will definitely keep it on our list for when we return!

We had an amazing experience staying at this Airbnb! The space was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The location on Shelter 1, near Joshua Tree Park was peaceful and conveniently close to everything. The highlight of our stay was definitely the hot tub in the desert—it was such a unique and relaxing experience, especially under the starry night sky. The host was incredibly responsive and kind, making sure we felt right at home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and unforgettable getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

Shelter 1 was thoughtfully located to take advantage of the beautiful views in the high desert. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces and tranquil settings. The location was ideal next to Joshua Tree West entrance. The layout of the home was simple and perfectly functional. Pet friendly accommodations with a bed and other amenities. An ideal place for peaceful retreat. It was easy to envision securing all of the properties for a group vacation with room for everyone. Thanks for a great vacation.

This was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. The airbnb was private / secluded, and also less than a mile away from the West entrance to Joshua tree national park. The kitchen was fully stocked with almost everything you could think of (cooking utensils, spices, wine opener, vegetable peeler, etc). The views were amazing, the hot tub was very relaxing. The dog friendly amenities were a wonderful touch! They provided dog beds, lint roller, poop bags, etc. I only hope I have the chance to stay here again one day!

Wonderful stay, host, location, and so much more. Felt right at home and would absolutely book again. Thanks for a wonderful weekend getaway! Highly recommend the jacuzzi at night to stargaze.

It's always a treat to find an Airbnb that exceeds your expectations! A comfortable, well-designed space that feels like home away from home. Excellent communication and hospitality from the host, making you feel taken care of. A prime location that allows you to explore the area easily and experience all that it has to offer. Let’s not forget it.. A very poetic place definitely coming back!!!

Shelter was the perfect spot to hang in Joshua Tree for a week. It was a great location, close to the park and town. I am a huge fan of jacuzzis and so that was a huge bonus. And we had everything we needed to cook, lounge and enjoy the desert.

Can’t detail enough how much we loved this place. Very clean, parachute sheets, all the amenities you could ask for, and wonderful location. We saw a lot of wildlife outside too, which was awesome.

Can't say enough how much we enjoyed staying here. I'm almost hesitant to gush over it too much because I want to stay here again. Hats off to this team, if every airbnb was this amazing I'd ditch my apartment for good!

Incredibly peaceful secluded location. Fantastic layout in the house with great views from every corner. Unbelievable communication - they took care of a few things that came up during our stay immediately! Super comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, just a very comfortable place to stay all while just a few short minutes from the JTNP entrance. And sitting in the hot tub under the stars was an added bonus! We will definitely be back!

We had a good time staying at this place during our visit to Joshua National Park. Great location close to park west entrance. Peaceful and beautiful outdoor setting. Host provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. However we did encounter two issues. First was related to the listing stating EV charging being available. Once we arrived we realized there is a 110V outlet in the carport. There was also a level 1 tesla charger which we couldn't use since we don't own a tesla. We had to drive to Palm Springs just to charge our EV so we could drive around the park. I recommend the host update the listing to clarify. Another issue was related to hot tub controls not working. Overall, I recommend this place if you are visiting Joshua Park and do not need EV charging during your stay.

Comfortable home with good location close to hiking at JT national park. We’ve stayed here several times but the property now needs some updating love and the WiFi was very spotty. Homestead Modern are great and very responsive hosts, we book most properties through them and have rarely been disappointed.

When I first found this house on AirBNB I really fell in love of how private and peaceful it looked. Well photos did not do this place justice. It was everything as described AND MORE! Very close to the park, sat in the hot tub and saw all the stars, had wine by the outdoor fireplace and everything here allowed myself and my fiancé to feel really detached from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Anyone wanting a place near Joshua Tree, want privacy, great amenities and a fantastic experience DO NOT WAIT! Book this place!

We had a wonderful stay at Shelter! The view is amazing and the proximity to the park is super handy. We loved the comfy bed, immaculate kitchen, and watching the stars from the hot tub. Bring flip flops and a robe if you’re able. Hope to stay again!

Wonderful house in a great location close to the park entrance. We can't say enough positive things about Shelter 1. The floor plan is perfect, every little detail from decoration to furniture is thought through and unique. We loved the outdoor shower and the different lounge areas depending on were the sun hits the house. The large windows all around make you really enjoy the desert vibe and peacefulness of Joshua Tree. It's the best Airbnb we stayed at in Joshua Tree and will definitely return. Everything was spotless and clean, great communication, easy check-in, comfy beds... Thank you for giving us such a perfect experience for my birthday!

What a great space! So clean, very mid-century modern, but comfortable and well-appointed. The large windows offered spectacular views, but the provided adjustable west facing shades gave us the ability to limit sun exposure and manage the temperature in the house better. Great outside amenities! We loved sitting on the back patio chairs with the fire pit on as we watched the sunset. The bed was comfortable, bathrooms were well stocked and just amazing! Love the landscape-both natural and built. Proximity to Joshua Tree NP is stellar-this is close enough that we spent the day in the park, came home to get some dinner and then went back out into the park at night to star gaze! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone considering it!

This was an amazing stay! Secluded enough to where you feel on your own (especially at night) but not extremely remote to where you are scavenging for necessities. Would absolutely do it again and highly recommend for anyone looking to have a desert getaway!

Don’t walk, run to this amazing listing. Ten minutes from town and the national park, with an amazing view and amenities if you don’t want to leave (hot tubbing while the sun sets over the desert? yes please!) We had an amazing time and the hosts respond incredibly fast. We also got our fair share of wildlife- on the few days we were there we saw a hare and a roadrunner that came up to the property so definitely be prepared for little visitors!

Our stay here was amazing! The property itself has everything you need for a relaxing weekend. The kit he is fully equipped with everything you need to cook and the bedrooms are comfortably furnished. The property is conveniently located near the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park which makes it easy to find hiking trials to enjoy! I will definitely be coming back to enjoy this property again.

This house and location are AMAZING. So much so that as soon as my girlfriend and I walked in the front door we extended our stay for an extra night, and were so glad we did. The hosts are super responsive, accommodating and kind. The house is well appointed, clean, and you instantly feel relaxed being there. You can watch beautiful sunsets over the mountains from the back porch, where there are Joshua Trees within feet of the building. It was scorching hot when we were there (July), so we only tried the fire pit for a moment, but could see how in cooler times of the year it was be so so nice. The hot tub up a well lit path from the house is excellent for stargazing and sunsets, and the "cowboy pool" was surprisingly refreshing as well. From the house you can be in Joshua Tree NP within 5-10 minutes. All in all, a wonderful place and we can't wait to come back.

I stayed for 2 nights over a holiday weekend with my husband to explore Joshua Tree National Park. The house was easy to locate given the directions the host provided and was very close to the park entrance and not far from a few restaurants and small stores. The house looked like the photos and was very clean. They offer outdoor amenities like a hot tub, which was very nice. They have a small tub outdoors, but definitely not a pool. This house is closer to the road than I anticipated. Not many houses nearby but if you want to stargaze this isn't the best house, as you will see car lights. In the kitchen there are a few items for cooking (6 spices and oil). Prepare to buy everything else. I would recommend buying bottled water even though they have a Brita in the fridge. The house is definitely exposed due to the windows. The views were incredible, but if you are not comfortable being exposed at night (if lights are on), this house isn't for you. Overall I enjoyed my stay and would recommend.

My husband and I loved our stay! It had everything you’d need, plus they were very accommodating with our pup by providing a dog bed, bowls, and even a lint roller. The views off of the back patio were amazing and the space is beautifully decorated. We hope to be back!
