The Space:
Steel & Solace is a steel-and-glass desert modern home on 2.5 private acres in Pioneertown, recognized by Dwell as one of the Top 10 Vacation Rentals in the World. Clean steel framing, glass walls, weathered metal and concrete textures give it a grounded, industrial look, and natural light pours through expansive windows. 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." A main home and a detached casita give two pairs of guests togetherness and personal space, a short walk from the heart of Pioneertown.

-Outdoor Amenities-
The outdoor areas work like a private desert courtyard, with mountain views and open sky all around. Move between shaded lounge areas, hammocks and gathering spaces. The seasonal cowboy pool (a cowboy pool, not an in-ground pool) and the hot tub are there for daytime dips and evenings under the stars; the cowboy pool is drained and unavailable November through March. A custom-built fire feature anchors the space for sunset conversations and late-night stargazing. Outdoor dining areas, a BBQ station and a pizza oven make meals outside easy, and the bocce ball and horseshoe courts are ready for friendly games. Stretch out on a sun lounger, or start the day on the meditation deck. The private courtyard adds an outdoor soaking tub, fire bowl, zen garden and outdoor shower. Pioneertown evenings bring cooler breezes, glowing sunsets and clear night skies.
-Living Area-
The living space is bright, open and intentionally minimal, so the desert takes center stage through the large windows. Comfortable seating and a smart TV with streaming services make movie nights easy, and the space is fully open to the kitchen and dining area, which keeps everyone together.
-Kitchen and Dining-
The fully stocked kitchen has modern appliances, ample counter space and good cookware for everyday meals and special dinners. It connects to both the indoor and outdoor dining spaces, and the BBQ station and pizza oven add options for evenings outside. A fully equipped bar cabinet is ready for entertaining, and the casita has its own Smeg fridge and coffee maker.
-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-
Steel & Solace sleeps guests across two private structures. The main home has a king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and an outdoor shower. The detached casita has a king bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom, an outdoor shower, a workspace, a Smeg fridge, a coffee maker and a private patio. Both bedrooms have Tuft & Needle mattresses, and both bathrooms are modern, with spa-style finishes and privacy.
-Surrounding Area-
