About this house rental
Summary:
Come enjoy a relaxing getaway at MoonView Modern, a beautiful retreat tucked away in the hills of Joshua Tree. This stylish home blends modern luxury with a unique charm, making it the perfect spot for stargazing and finding inspiration. You will love the privacy and amazing views while staying just a short distance from the National Park and the peaceful desert landscape. Unwind in your own private pool and hot tub or cook a meal in the lovely kitchen at this quiet escape where comfort meets the desert spirit.
The Space:
The two bedroom layout blends high modern design with eclectic high desert art, filling the home with natural light and uninterrupted mountain views through oversized windows. Each bedroom features a comfortable king bed, complemented by a fully equipped kitchen, a sunlit dining room, a half bath, and a full bathroom complete with an attached open air outdoor shower. Outside, ten untamed acres host a spacious front dining lounge, a shaded lounging canopy, a refreshing pool for warm afternoons, and a soothing hot tub positioned for watching shooting stars across dark skies.
This home gives you front row seats to brilliant cosmic displays of Joshua Tree. You can spend sunny afternoons cooling off in the pool or relaxing in the shaded lounge, then slip into the bubbling hot tub at night to watch constellations drift across the pitch black horizon. It is an extraordinary choice for travelers looking to completely disconnect, recharge in solitude, and experience the full magic of the high desert night sky.

LOCAL ADD-ON EXPERIENCES
From sound baths and in-home massages to stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California, we've handpicked local vendors to match whatever mood you're in. Book a personal chef for a lazy night in, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a guided hike through the National Park or other local trails. However you want to spend your time here, relaxing or adventuring, the desert (and our favorite locals) has you covered. Once your reservation is confirmed, let us know you are interested and we will connect you!

The property and house is yours to roam and relax.

We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable.

8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
The check in process was a little bit difficult, I did not receive the check in instructions prior to my trip and had to call to get the onfrmskon. House rules and wifi info were not easy to fins, they were inside a book in the dining room.Also on the pictures there was an Umbrella by the pool, the base was theee but umbrella no where to be found. There was also a hammock in the pictures and couldn't find it.Besides these issues, the stay was amazing, I really enjoyed my stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
Absolutely fantastic property, as advertised, and everything we were looking for. Pool was greatly appreciated during the higher than expected temperatures during our stay and star gazing from the hot tub in the cooler temps at night is a must. Very clean and comfortable home. So much thought appears to have gone into the design of the home inside and out! Would not hesitate to rent this property again and highly recommend to friends.
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
Beautiful, artsy, unique home on a stunning & private property. We enjoyed our stay, watching lovely sunrises and stunning desert sunsets lighting up the mountains, followed by a blanket of stars. And the home had all the amenities we wanted!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2023
The property was beautiful, both inside and out! We loved our stay, enjoyed the big kitchen and common areas but spent most of our time outside by the pool. The pool area was so lovely and still felt private even with the other home on the property. The hot tub was also so nice to look at the stars and heat lightening! We will be back again!
