The hype
Travelers rave about the stunning mid-century design and peaceful vibe, but some find the check-in process and lack of on-site staff impersonal.
The Bungalows by Homestead Modern
$200-350/ 晚
如果以下情况适用，请预订 You want a stylish, mid-century modern sanctuary that feels like a private home but sits on the grounds of a historic spiritual retreat.
为什么人们喜欢它
- Authentic 1960s mid-century architecture by Harold Zook
- Access to the Joshua Tree Retreat Center's 'energy vortex' grounds and hot pool
- Incredible desert views through floor-to-ceiling glass walls
快速了解： It’s a chic Airbnb-style stay on a crunchy-granola campus—luxurious inside, but you’re still walking through the desert to get to the pool.
@vikjazmin 的评论: I’ve never felt peace like I did here. Waking up to the sun hitting the mountains right outside my window was unforgettable. The design is impeccable, but the silence is the real luxury. It felt like my own private world in the desert.

内部人士建议
- ✨
The 'hot pool' at the Retreat Center is a hidden gem for stargazing, but check the hours as it closes at 8pm or 9pm.
- ✨
Walk the labyrinth on the Retreat Center grounds at sunset for a free wellness activity.
- ✨
The tap water is safe, but the desert dryness is real—buy a gallon of water before you check in.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The 'Retreat Center' vibe is very different from the chic Bungalows—think aging rustic buildings vs. modern luxury.
💡You have to walk outside to get to the pool, which can be a dusty trek in the heat.
💡The 'kitchenette' in the Double rooms is really just a stovetop and mini-fridge, not a full cooking setup.
💡The concrete floors look amazing but are unforgivingly hard and cold in winter—bring slippers.
💡You are staying on a site dedicated to 'Mentalphysics'—expect to see some quirky spiritual art and statues around the grounds.
