Fantastic visit to Joshua Tree my first time. I so enjoyed staying at The Bungalow. The property is a gem. Nice quiet neighborhood, close to town. The back yard is very private. The house had all the amenities you could ask for. We stayed for the weekend and hiked both days in the NP. Both days we hiked over 6 miles, so we really enjoyed the very comfortable bed. One of my favorite activities was coffee each morning on the front porch watching the birds, bunnies and just loving the huge Joshua tree in the driveway. We even checked out a great hawk that was not happy with two huge ravens hanging out in the tree in the back. I could easily have chilled here for a week or more but had to unfortunately get back to the work grind. I am looking forward to returning to The Bungalow for a longer visit.

Exceptional Location, Accommodations

This is the perfect place to stay for a mother-daughter weekend in Joshua Tree, near the national park. The cozy, impeccably clean and quiet bungalow is near the park's West entrance and there's shopping for vintage clothing, funky art and objects and a variety of eateries near by. The Bungalow host thinks of all the special touches to make for a memorable getaway.

Perfect little Joshua Tree house

Excellent communication from the owner to include ease of entry to the home, hike recommendations, and how to use the numerous amenities in the house. This spot is situated very close to a national park visitors' center, as well as great pizza and coffee. If my husband and return to the area, we wouldn't bother looking for lodging anywhere else.
