We loved staying here! The room was wonderful and we got takeout from the cafe and ate on our patio overlooking a beautiful view with Joshua trees. The pool and hot tub were lovely and no one else was there. There are trails to walk among the Joshua trees and an ideal overlook. It’s expensive but we splurged to stay for a concert there. The amphitheater is a gorgeous place for a show. Highly recommend and hope to go back if there are special rates sometime!

This property encompasses a group of very nicely decorated mint century modern bungalows some with excellent views particular units, M & L. The units are nicely decorated with comfortable well equipped kitchens. The area around the bungalows is part of a larger complex dedicated to alternative philosophy, which can be difficult to navigate with your car at night. The location is central to downtown Joshua tree and not far from Yucca. The west entrance to the national park is only 15 minutes away. The bungalows have a nice hot pool and cold plunge pool, which is however, a long walk from the bungalows. Overall, an interesting and choice for an overnight or two in Joshua tree.
