About the property

Steel & Solace is an iconic modern home offering sweeping desert vistas and premium amenities. Step onto the shaded patio with fire pit, BBQ station, pizza oven, and cozy seating, perfect for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or al fresco dining. Dip in the pool or hot tub, play bocce and horseshoes, or relax on the meditation deck. Stroll to Pappy’s or Red Dog Saloon. Then unwind in the private courtyard with a soaking tub, fire bowl, zen garden, and outdoor shower for a spa-like experience.

Steel & Solace is an iconic steel-and-glass desert modern home set on 2.5 private acres in Pioneertown. This architectural retreat blends industrial design with serene desert surroundings, creating a peaceful escape for slow mornings, stargazing nights, and effortless indoor-outdoor living just steps from the heart of Pioneertown.

Recognized by Dwell as one of the Top 10 Vacation Rentals in the World, Steel & Solace is a striking example of desert modern architecture. Clean steel framing, glass walls, weathered metal, and concrete textures create a refined yet grounded aesthetic that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Per Dwell: “Old school meets contemporary in this modern homestead. Small in footprint but large in innovation, the steel-framed structures with clean, modern lines display sleek, industrial modernism, blending style and practicality. The mixture of rust-covered, welded metal and concrete creates a beautiful, modern oasis in the middle of the desert sands.”

Natural light pours through expansive windows, creating a calming and airy atmosphere throughout the home. The layout encourages connection with the landscape while maintaining comfort and privacy. The space is ideal for relaxation, creative retreats, romantic getaways, and small group escapes.

The property includes a main home and a detached casita, creating both togetherness and personal space.

-Outdoor Amenities-
The outdoor areas are designed as a private desert courtyard experience surrounded by mountain views and open sky. Guests can move between shaded lounge areas, hammocks, and gathering spaces throughout the property. The cowboy pool and hot tub offer refreshing daytime relaxation and peaceful evenings under the stars. A custom-built fire pit feature anchors the outdoor space, creating the perfect setting for sunset conversations and late-night stargazing. Outdoor dining areas, a BBQ station, and a pizza oven make meals outside effortless and memorable. Guests can enjoy friendly games on the bocce ball court or horseshoe court, unwind on sun loungers, or start the day with quiet reflection on the meditation deck. Evenings in Pioneertown bring cooler breezes, glowing sunsets, and some of the clearest night skies in Southern California.

-Living Area-
The living space is bright, open, and intentionally minimal, allowing the surrounding desert landscape to take center stage. Large windows frame the outdoors while comfortable seating invites guests to relax after a day of exploring. A Smart TV with streaming services make cozy movie nights easy, while the modern industrial design creates a calm and uncluttered environment perfect for slow mornings with coffee. The living area is fully open to the kitchen and dining spaces, making gathering together easy.

-Kitchen & Dining-
The fully stocked kitchen is designed for both everyday meals and special gatherings. Modern appliances, ample counter space, and thoughtful cookware make preparing meals simple and enjoyable. The kitchen connects naturally to both indoor and outdoor dining spaces, allowing guests to move easily between cooking, sharing meals, and enjoying the desert air. The BBQ station and pizza oven expand dining options for memorable al fresco evenings under the sky. A fully equipped bar cabinet adds an elevated touch for entertaining.

-Bedrooms & Bathrooms-
Steel & Solace comfortably accommodates guests across two private structures. The main home features one king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and outdoor shower. The detached casita includes a king bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom, outdoor shower, workspace, Smeg fridge, coffee maker, and private patio. Both bedrooms feature Tuft & Needle mattresses and a calm, airy atmosphere designed for restful sleep. Each bathroom is modern and spa-inspired, offering privacy and comfort.

-Surrounding Area-

Cell phone reception in Pioneertown is very limited to nonexistent depending on your carrier.

If you need reliable connectivity during your stay, the property offers strong Wi-Fi suitable for streaming, messaging, and remote work. We encourage guests to download maps, park passes, and directions ahead of time, as GPS and data service may drop in certain areas of the High Desert. The limited cell service is part of what makes Pioneertown feel peaceful, quiet, and wonderfully disconnected - perfect for relaxing and enjoying the desert surroundings.

-Pool and Hot Tub Service-
The pool and hot tub are serviced Tuesday & Friday, approximately between 9am and 4pm. Please note that these times are estimates and may change slightly due to our technician's busy schedule. He will not approach the house but will go directly through to the backyard.

The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it’s important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home.

Wow! What a great place in a brilliant setting! The property is modern and cool, the pool and hot tub were clean and a great way to break from the heat/finish the day, really peaceful in the evening with an amazing sunset, and a great time in Pioneertown as well. 5 stars!

This is the perfect property for a meditative retreat. The surrounding area is stunning, with beautiful mountain views on all sides. The local wildlife is undisturbed by this property - you will see all kinds of cool animals here, which is absolutely part of the charm. We saw jackrabbits, quail, hummingbirds, bats at night (so cool), and even a coyote one morning (who kept his distance). The sunrises, sunsets, and starry night skies are truly a spectacle to behold. The house and guest house are clean and well-maintained with comfy beds and awesome amenities (cowboy pool, hot tub, outdoor bath and showers, easy to use fire pits and a grill). Host was excellent, providing clear instructions throughout and responding quickly. The property is walkable to Pioneertown, or a very short drive. We had an amazing time at this property, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing desert getaway.
