Top Joshua Tree Hotel Reviews

High Desert Motel Joshua Tree National Park

10/10 Excellent

"o"

Modern Guest House - Vintage Records, Hot Tub, 4+ Acres, Wifi, EV Charger, Views

10/10 Excellent

"This rental had everything needed for a relaxing stay. Kitchen was set up with all the utensils needed plus condiments and great coffee. We did not get a chance to try out the hot tub, sadly. Mark communicates well and all his instructions are clear. I suggest you try to arrive the first time in daylight since the last few turns are hard to see in the dark. We would book here again."

Village House - Hot Tub, Pool, walk to downtown shops

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cozy house! The house was really well and thoughtfully outfitted, the beds were really comfortable, the A/C was super appreciated! We enjoyed the outdoor sitting areas as well as the hot tub and cool tub! Anything you can think of that would be needed for a comfortable stay was right at our fingertips!! We were on a girls trip and definitely had no issues, The gated property was a plus ! Convenient location! We will definitely stay here again if we are ever back in the area! We highly recommend staying here and you will not be disappointed!"

Joshua Tree Home Home Fountain Oasis & Spa w/ 360 Views

10/10 Excellent

"This house was wonderful! Great location! The back yard is definitely the star of the show. At night it feels like you are in the middle of no where and the back yard walls keep it private from the neighbors next door. The outdoor water features are so great and relaxing. The outdoor shower was very whimsical and one of my favorite parts of the yard."

Hill top view stay- 9 mins from JTNP! Hottub-Game room-Firepit-Cowboy pool

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay here! The pool is very cool and refreshing and the hot tub was really relaxing. I did notice a man flying a drone over the property while I was using the pool, so single female travelers should be aware in case he does that again. Otherwise we really had a great time, the kitchen has stuff to make coffee and the beds are really comfy. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to check out Joshua Tree national park"
