Location of this property is ideal. Very remote “feeling” but a short drive to town. Really enjoyed exploring the backyard, and Pioneertown Mountain Reserve is a great hiking spot 10 mins away.

Hawk and Mesa House

The place is amazing...an experience worth the price. Whether by walking the area or catching sight of wildlife in the telescope, there was always something interesting and engaging to do.

Quiet Retreat

Everything was perfect. The property looks exactly like the pictures in the listing, and there is so much to explore. We didn't even come close to seeing it all, so we'll have to be back. The hot tub was a balmy 104 the moment we arrived, and a quick dip to loosen up after a long day of travelling was just what we needed.

We wanted a last minute getaway from LA and were so lucky to find this rental. The house is situated in a great spot, with beautiful views, is super quiet and away from others. Even so, it was convenient to get to the park, restaurants and the stores. Very well set up for a couple (or 2). Loved sitting with coffee in the Adirondack chairs and then going for a soak and watching the stars at night. The hosts were quick to respond to any question and recommended an amazing massage therapist. (Erin). Our dog enjoyed herself too!

Lovely But be advised of rolling blackouts in the area

Our stay was my gift to friends for a special birthday. We had planned a weekend get away to cook and relax at the house in this special location and take in the desert beauty, However, we had to leave the house from Saturday afternoon thru Sunday morning as the power was out for 12hours. So no dinner at the house Saturday night and no showers after hiking. This cut our festivities short and interrupted our trip. Apparently, when I enquired with the manager they suggested this happens and there was no consolations offered and the manual suggested this happens in the area so be advised. We have rented many houses in the area over the past 10years and never had this issue.

Perfect little hideout

My family and I had a lovely stay. We have stayed in a couple Homestead modern properties over the last couple years, we have never been disappointed. The property management team are always very quick to respond to messages and very accommodating. We will continue to book with them again for future visits.
