Kinetic art is art from any medium that contains movement perceivable by the viewer or that depends on motion for its effect. The moving parts are generally powered by wind, a motor or the observer. Kinetic art encompasses a wide variety of overlapping techniques and styles as you can see from the various selection of sculptures around the front and back of the house. The metal used in these sculptures were taken from the home's structure and built by the original owner of the house.

✦✦ 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 Kinetic House. 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.

Guest Access:
You will have the entire house and property to yourself.
The Neighborhood:
Kinetic House is situated in one of the most desirable neighborhoods "on the mesa" in Yucca Valley near the border of Joshua Tree. This perfect central location is only 15 minutes to the picturesque Joshua Tree National Park where you can rock climb over 8,000 established climbing routes, go hiking, horse-riding, join in on a ranger talk, go biking, stargazing or just pack your camera and capture the unique landscape and wildlife that the park has to offer.
Visit Pioneertown, a 1940’s Old West movie set where more than 50 films and TV series were shot. See the frontier stables, saloons, and jails while inside there was ice cream parlors, bowling alleys, and motels. More than 50 films and television shows were filmed at the town in the 1940s and ‘50s and is now home to live music, mock gun fights and delicious food at Pappy and Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace.
Head to the Yucca Valley Town with many small, unique shops filled with antiques and gift items, visit one-of-a-kind restaurants and drop into local cafés to get your latte or espresso with a homemade sandwich or croissant. For more recommendations please take a look at our Visitor's Guide where we have detailed information on local establishments that we love!
Getting Around:
Many roads in the high desert are dirt roads, so please take it slow. While a car is required to get around, a four wheel drive is not, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain.
GPS is accurate, however please follow our turn-by-turn directions as some of the other approaches take you down fairly rough roads.
Interaction with Guests:
Our property manager, Homestead Modern, is local and has staff available from 9am-9pm.
