I can’t really rate the staff and service because there was nobody around…which was kind of the point of this retreat center. It was the perfect place for introverts to retreat.

Beautiful...off the beaten track!

Beautiful place but not great if you are on a motorbike...we turned up on a Harley-Davidson and had trouble getting to the accommodation because of the dirt road...we ended up leaving the bike parked at the guest parking and walked down to the bungalow...

Relaxing and peaceful

Very peaceful and serene environment - the room and the grounds. Didn’t hear a single other guest although we know we had “neighbors”. It was a perfect relaxing place to stay for a weekend getaway.

I love this little property. It is so well done and elegant. I love a post-modern home, and this felt like a little bungalow in the desert. If you're in Joshua Tree, this is the place to stay. It's quiet, close to the main part of town, and just lovely.
