This property is beautiful and the view is magical. Every little detail makes me feel at home, especially the kitchen treats, the books on the side table and how private it all feels

I love this little property. It is so well done and elegant. I love a post-modern home, and this felt like a little bungalow in the desert. If you're in Joshua Tree, this is the place to stay. It's quiet, close to the main part of town, and just lovely.

We had a very quiet stay at Homestead Hotel. The hotel has a beautiful design, but the area is extremely quiet and felt somewhat unsafe at night. We didn’t feel comfortable stepping outside after dark, especially after seeing several coyotes, which increased our concern. Overall, the hotel was very clean. It’s conveniently located about a 30-minute drive from Joshua Tree. The kitchen was spotless and well-equipped, making it easy to cook a variety of meals. It was my birthday during our stay, and they thoughtfully left me a note with a bottle of wine, which was a very kind gesture. The entire process was remote, and we didn’t interact with anyone in person, which made for a seamless experience. Despite some concerns about the area, we appreciated the hotel’s cleanliness, design, and hospitality.

If you’re reading this review, you found a special little gem. No I don’t care about the meditation stuff, I can talk to my Father anytime and anywhere. Vegan restaurant? Ah, no I like bacon. But when you walk into the room we had this joyful return to the mid century modern homes of our youth. Tastefully remodeled. A great little kitchen and good cooking utensils. I know that you will enjoy as we did. This place is special.

Joshua Trees gem

The room was a perfect size and space. King size bed that was amazingly comfortable. The room has a kitchenette with two electric stoves and needed amenities for cooking if you desire. The view of the desert was perfect out the glass wall leading out to the back patio , yet private.

The good - what a wonderful place with amazing views. Very comfortable. Lovely place to relax. A few suggestions … if dogs were there previously please vacuum more. There were dog hairs everywhere. The knives in the kitchen are blunt. We could not figure out the heating at all. Please put small plates in the kitchen too
