An oasis in the desert
My wife and I loved our stay at this location. Everything was as it had been pictured in the listing: vintage and spotless. We really enjoyed spinning some records, playing a few of the retro games, relaxing in the hammocks, soaking in the hot tub and having a fire in the fireplace. Dave was a fantastic host, very responsive to any inquiries. He even had a three ring binder of helpful info on the kitchen table. It included practical info about the property, such as the check-out process as well as some nice-to-know information like his personally written reviews on local restaurants and nearby attractions. The property has a beautiful view of the mountains with an ideal view of the sunrise over the mountains with Joshua trees silhouetted in the foreground. I had the pleasure of watching a bunch of hummingbirds buzz around the flowering shrubs on the property while I was taking a soak in the hot tub. Other wildlife sightings included a few great horned owls which we saw roosting in a nearby as well as the black tailed jackrabbits they were hunting . I’ve never seen these birds so close. It was a real treat. We loved how quiet the property was while still being close to Joshua Tree National Park and some conveniences like restaurants/gas stations/grocery stores. We will definitely be coming back for another visit.

Great Retro Stay Near Joshua Tree NP
This place is cute, comfortable and well located. You can easily jog over to the Joshua Tree Northern entrance, and you're only a few minutes from the Western entrance- essential if you want to be in the park early to avoid the crowds. The guesthouse is comfortable with a good bed and a sofa right in front of the wood-burning fireplace. The hot tub at night under the stars is divine. Mark is ready to help with questions and needs, and the house is filled with games, entertainment and beautiful decor. If you want a nice place that is near everything, but not in the middle of everything, this is it.

Joshua tree modern guest house
Perfect location with great amenities. We enjoyed the record collection, sitting in the hot tub under the stars, and by the warm fireplace at the end of the evening. A short drive to the Joshua tree national park visitor center and the Joshua tree saloon for a drink and some food after hiking in the park.

Amazing Desert Cottage
My daughter and I stayed her as a base for a week of hiking at Joshua Tree National Park. The place had everything we needed, and comfy beds to rest and recover every night. We loved the hot tub under the stars. Mark was easy to communicate with and even though the place is close to the main house, there is plenty of privacy. Would definitely return!

We loved our time here. Communication with the host, privacy, the view (lots of windows), proximity to town and National Park were all perfect. We loved the guest house style, the bed and seating were super comfortable, and everything was extremely clean. It had all we needed and more. We appreciated the games, books, host recommendations and hot tub!

Great place and location
This is a great place, and I would definitely stay there again. There is a quirky style about the place that was nice, and a little different to other places. Host was great and everything went smoothly. The property has good separation from neighbors, and the view of the stars on a dark night was great - not quite as good as the "dark sky" area in the JT Park, but a fine substitute if you can't make the trip into the park at night.

Perfect Joshua Tree
We had a wonderful time staying at the Modern Guest House. We loved hot tubbing under the moon and truly appreciated the hosts' recommendations and the comforts of the home. My 10 yo son especially enjoyed the keyboard, vintage typewriter and surrounding nature. We all loved the incredible views. The guest house is private, quiet, well-appointed and in a great location. Highly recommend!

This space was the highlight of our trip!
