Sunset Heights by Homestead Modern is an elevated desert escape perched on the literal edge of the Joshua Tree wilderness. This secluded sanctuary offers a front-row seat to the High Desert’s most dramatic spectacles, featuring a modern in-ground pool, a year-round heated spa, and a sprawling wraparound deck designed for soaking in panoramic sunsets just one mile from the National Park entrance.

This is a remote location down dirt roads, so please take it slow. While a car is required to get around, a four wheel drive car is not, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain.
◎ POOL AND HOT TUB HEATING:
Your rental includes heating for the in-ground pool in May and September. The hot tub is always free to heat. However, during the cooler months, there are extra charges for pool heating. If you want the pool heated during these months, please let us know before you arrive.
