Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Recent Guests:
-”This property is the dream. We had everything we needed for a desert retreat - pool, hot tub, fire pit, hammock, and much more." -Tong
-"Owl N Hare exceeded my expectations. We had so much space and I was blown away with the size of the property. The amenities were on point and the decor for each unit was impressive and comfortable. It had the style of a boutique hotel without being pretentious. Homestead Modern was a phenomenal host. I had so many questions leading up to our trip, and all were answered quickly and accurately. The pool, hot tub, and fire pit were the extras that made our stay extraordinary. If you are traveling with friends and/or family members, Owl N Hare should be on the top of your list for accommodations in Joshua Tree! Needless to say, I'll be back!"- Mayella / October
-”This was the absolute best airbnb we've ever stayed at. The houses are beautiful, minimalist and comfortable, but also remodeled in a luxurious and modern way.“ -Jenne
-LAYOUT-
The property sits on two and a half acres of both landscaped and natural desert land with the long views that are associated with the gently sloping hills of the Joshua Tree Highlands neighborhood. Owl & Hare includes two separate suites fittingly named Owl and Hare. Each space offers 2 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living area w/ TV and a fully-stocked kitchen. Both suites have private entrances and patios but also open onto a generous, connected courtyard that offers a variety of siting, lounging, and dining options. The newly built pool overlooking Joshua Tree has its own lounge area w/ a vintage Airstream pool room.
-BEDS & BATHS-
Owl’s primary bedroom (king sized bed) has an en-suite bathroom, as well as a second bedroom (queen) and bathroom on the other side of the suite from the kitchen and living area. Hare also has two bedrooms (queen) with private baths, separated by an open kitchen and living area. Owl is slightly larger and has a yoga / barre workout area in the second bedroom. All bedrooms have storage space for clothes and an abundant amount of privacy.
-KITCHEN & DINING-
Each modern kitchen is fully equipped for any desert-inspired culinary endeavor. The breakfast bar in Owl is the ideal spot for watching over the compound while planning your afternoon picnic and the small tables on the private patios are perfect for morning coffee. There are multiple options for outdoor dining throughout Owl & Hare.
* Baking sheets, pots, pans, hand mixer, toaster, blender + more
* Pre-arrival food & beverage stocking services if desired
* Locally roasted coffee, kettle, drip and French press coffee maker
* Propane BBQ grill w/ tools
-LIVING SPACE-
After climbing boulders or an invigorating hike, nothing feels better than relaxing in the living room of your choice. Each suite’s living space has TVs equipped with Roku (Owl has a 55” TV in the living area and a smaller set in the primary bedroom), a Bluetooth player, turntable, LP collection, games, and collections of books.
-OUTDOOR SPACE-
The outdoor space had been arranged to optimize engagement with the desert surrounds and provide communal AND private space throughout the compound. Next to the Airstream is a covered pool w/ National Park views, a large fire-pit with ample seating, chaise lounges for sunning or stargazing, a patio with open and shaded lounging areas, and plenty of room for yoga (mats and props provided).

-ACTIVITIES/ATTRACTIONS-
Visitors come to the High Desert for its unique landscape, culture, and recreational opportunities, as well as for the weather - hot and dry summers and mild winters at our high altitude. Joshua Tree and the communities surrounding the Joshua Tree National Park include Flamingo Heights, Pioneertown, Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, and Landers. You’ll be close to all the action at Parkside. Some of our favorite options available to you:
–Joshua Tree National Park: 800,000 acres of mystical beauty - Joshua Tree National Park is one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures. Sweeping, grand in scale and populated by granite monoliths and voluptuous rock and boulder formations. This quiet land, conducive to meditation and roaming, was carved by extremes in climate - wind, rain and an ever-present, relentless sun. Diverse forms of plant life are found everywhere, but none as unique or prevalent as the park’s namesake: the Joshua tree, standing majestically across the vast topography.
–Pioneertown: Step back in time to thus rustic Old West-style village. Wander through the historic buildings, visit unique shops, catch a live music performance at Pappy & Harriets, and experience the Wild West charm.
• The Integratron: New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.
