Absolutely loved our bungalow stay. The suite is very large and comfortable with a living room and kitchen. There was also outdoor seating. They provided coffee and creamer which was delicious. Fluffy towels and comfortable bed were perfect. Very close to the west entrance to the Joshua Tree National Park - which was the reason for our stay. Note that there is no TV but you can stream on your own device - wifi worked great for us. It is also quite a walk to the pool area. We did walk the grounds, which are huge. Lots of interesting spiritual things to see and experience. Definitely a retreat hub. Our only wish is that they have a better grounds map. The one behind the door was blurry and difficult to read.

This was our second stay at The Bungalows, and I can already tell you: we'll be back again and again. It has turned into one of our favorite getaways. It's equal parts wildlife retreat and gateway to eclectic local culture. The property is so serene and simple, yet exactly what is needed for a comfortable and restorative stay.

This is the best accommodation we’ve stayed at in Joshua Tree over the 20 years we’ve been coming here. Clean, comfortable, spacious, private, and in a great location. Close to Joshua Tree NP West Entrance, visitor center and Joshua Tree Saloon (great place to eat and drink). We’ll be back!

I can’t wait to stay again! Beautiful property and very spacious. It’s a pretty big piece of property, but I was able to follow the signs to my Bungalow. I had to call to get my door code because I couldn’t access my email and the hotel representative was very helpful and texted me the code right away. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils for cooking. The Bungalow was beautifully furnished and there were even charging cables. 10 out of 10!!
