This is a lovely and well presented property for staying in the desert. The hot tub is wonderful and hot and there’s no charge. The pool is lovely too but it’s expensive to heat. Very clean, thoughtfully designed and a pleasant place to experience the desert. Nearby Yucca Valley has all the stores that are necessary for a visit.

This home is outstanding in every way. The view, the pool/spa, the outdoor seating, the beds very comfortable. It’s very clean, easy to get to JTNP and all the things in the area but so peaceful and you feel so far away from the world even tho you are just a few minutes from everything. Homestead modern is an amazing host, we try to always rent from them, the service is amazing and they go above and beyond with their properties.

Amazing getaway and we hope to return. The home is beautiful and the cleaning is top-notch. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything needed for cooking in or grilling out. We stayed two nights, and spent most of that time relaxing by the pool, which has amazing views. This is the first time I’ve ever managed to get a photograph of the Milky Way! The setting is private and serene, and the wildlife is friendly. The host’s communication was terrific - fast, friendly, and professional. Overall, an amazing retreat, and just the reset and recharge that we needed. Thank you for everything.
