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.

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.

This property is a pictured, spacious indoors with lovely outdoor spaces. Excellent location to the park. Kitchen well stocked with dishes, cutlery, small appliances and pans - needed a bit of a wipe prior to using. We appreciated the filtered water for drinking and excellent wifi.

Excellent Bungalow to stay while in Joshua Tree

John was an exceptional host, with great communication. Provided all the information needed to enjoy our stay. The Bungalow had everything you could need, and comfortable. It was really well decorated, and the outdoor area was enjoyable, spending a lot of time outside. Being very close to the National Park, was also great, as we spent many days hiking. We would definitely recommend staying here, if you are in the area. When we return to Joshua Tree in the future, we will be staying at the Bungalow.

It was our first trip to Joshua national park and we decided to also celebrate our anniversary. My husband and I didn’t know what to expect. However the beautiful bungalow and John’s amazing suggestion made our weekend phenomenal. The bungalow is so close from so many attractions, shops, and restaurants everything near by was walking distance. We will definitely return, it was an amazing experience thank you 🙏
