The Bungalows by Homestead Modern

The place is a work in progress but the bungalows which have been refurbished are amazing. A very peaceful, comfortable and stylish accommodation for your adventures in Joshua Tree NP.

Overall, the hotel was very clean. It’s conveniently located about a 25/30-minute drive from Joshua Tree NP. The kitchen was spotless and well-equipped, making it easy to cook a variety of meals. It was my birthday during our stay, and they thoughtfully left me a note with a bottle of wine, which was a very kind gesture. The entire process was remote, and we didn’t interact with anyone in person, which made for a seamless experience. Despite some concerns about the area, we appreciated the hotel’s cleanliness, design, and hospitality.

I mean it's not bad but prices are high enough that a bit more comfort should be expected. Concrete floors aren't my thing. I would've loved a normal coffee maker and not the hotplate but if you're making food, probably good. Easy to get to the natl park though and I'd probably come back. Hope that helps

I stayed here with my husband and we both had the best time. The rooms are perfectly decorated - the design is unmatched. Super clean also. Big beautiful windows overlooking the desert. Felt very remote, but was just off the main road. Very quiet and peaceful. Cannot wait to return.

THE true MCM locale in Joshua Tree with pristine rooms, gorgeous views and top notch amenities. Most important for this amateur photographer, open land with Joshua trees!

Great place to stay. Super nice decor and comfy beds. Great viewing areas on the property and the pool/hot tub is nice and relaxing.

An arquitectural gem in Joshua Tree. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Joshua Tree Reatreat Center (Formely known as the Institute of Mentalphysics) is home to largest collection of Lloyd Wright buildings in the world. Was built between 1946–1957, although the architect on record is Lloyd Wright Jr. , it is believed that his father, Frank Lloyd Wright had a hand in the design of some of the structures.

Be careful when booking this property, especially at checkout. We’ve been screwed as the Gen. manager Ashley claimed we damaged the wall of the bathroom, which we didn’t! Probably someone from the staff did it and then they put everything on us. The claim came 6 hours later we left the property and they did not want to believe we did nothing at all! Unbelievable but true, so they proceeded and took a damage fee from our credit card. First time something similar has happened to me and my wife. I would never come back here, but Joshua Tree park is amazing…find another place ;-)

We just found our favorite place stay in JT/Yucca Valley. The decor is mid century and tastefullyappointed. Our unit was large, with a bedroom and full kitchen. The views are accentuated with floor to ceiling windows. The grounds are amenable to long walks and sky gazing. Situated just outside the park it's a couple minutes from the downtown area and park entrance.

Bright ambient place to stay in Joshua Tree with glowy, clean rooms and gorgeous desert landscaping mixed with the metaphysical signature of the institute in close, walkable distance. Pet friendly overall. Patios are lovely but not exceptionally private. Lodgings are all generously windowed and close together; but curtains and landscaping provide some privacy and sense of containment. Soaps smell good and fresh; nice linens; utensils and pots and other amenities are very thoughtfully appointed. This is why a significant deposit is required; not my preference but has always been refunded. More hospitality polish here reflects in the room rates, and be aware that drinks and snacks all have a pretty charge. Pay attention to the confirmation emails & small signage in the kitchen (ours was left inside cabinet, which we missed during our first stay and ended up paying for drinks we thought were complimentary). We enjoy the bungalows and would happily stay again. Don't miss the sunrises and sunsets.

My sister and I reserved a Deluxe Suite in hopes of catching the final night of an observable Milky Way. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and we ended up with rain. Normally, I would have been completely disappointed, but the suite at The Bungalows was enough to make up for the loss. Everything was set up for comfort and convenience. The sofa was even comfortable enough that i chose to sleep on it instead of sharing the King bed with sister. Everything was precisely thought out, from kitchenware to bathrobes! Their custom app streamlined the check-in/check-out process and the property manager was only a text message away. The facility is minutes from "civilization" with restaurants, shopping, gas stations, etc. The only issue we had was the noisy air conditioning unit in the bedroom. It made a godawful noise every time it kicked on. This was brought up in previous reviews so hopefully it will be addressed before our next stay. I am so looking forward to staying here again. We plan on extending our group and reserving multiple rooms on our next visit.

There was 3 spiders and 1 beetle in the bungalow I stayed in . The showers look horrible , and I was charged $100 for keeping half empty bottles of shampoo and body wash .

Loved my stay .Place is beautiful ,clean with a great view . Fridge with water included , there are some drinks you can purchase and snacks, you can cook as well , pans,plates ,cups are so nice you might want to take them home. You can purchase these items in the gift shop. Bed was comfortable and the room stayed warm . You can walk around the property and explore , a flashlight and binoculars were provided to see all the beautiful stars and find your way back. Will definitely come back.

Stayed here 1 night for the meteor shower. We stayed in the deluxe suite. It was roomy, cozy and so pretty! The yellow curtains down/room decor to amenities were so very thought out and made our stay so comfy and enjoyable. Walls are thin but it was so quiet and peaceful at night. We were able to enjoy the night sky from the viewing area of the bungalows. Didn't have to drive (although short distance) to joshua tree national park. We couldn't really enjoy the night sky from our patio because of the lights from other rooms but viewing area is a short walk away so didn't mind that. Checking in process is self check in. You receive email/text with information you need to access. I would definitely stay here again!

Stayed in this state at this bungalows retreat in Joshua tree while we were attending a wedding out that way his set up like it's a retreat they have places for you to meditate and do yoga and there's a restaurant on the premises but none of these things were open when we were there so that was really strange but their rooms are fantastic the decor is fantastic you have a nice bathroom you have a nice kitchen with everything you need It's like a little bitty tiny Airbnb but it's a whole bunch of them on one property even a place to park your car the only negative for me was that there was no TV but I guess that's how it was met but we actually enjoyed it not having a TV And we are very much TV people it has a pool there it was very quiet but I would imagine it has more stuff going on during their retreat time of year but it's very close to sacred Sands very popular place to have a wedding out there closer only six minutes away I think I would love to go there with my husband and I can just have a staycation get away. Has a very nice romantic feel to it and it was not too expensive the restaurant was close so that was a bummer but like I said there are a lot of regular eating places around and great places that are just for a Joshua tree around to eat

This place was exactly what we needed. We happened upon it very late at night after driving all day. The bed and amenities were perfect. The view was out of this world. Originally we had only planned to stay for a night but ended up not wanting to leave!

Very special place! Nice mid-century modern bungalow with INCREDIBLE VIEWS & outside patio seating. This is inside the grounds of a retreat center complete with vortexes, mazes, water features, and beautiful walks. We loved our bungalow overlooking the fire pit which was a real plus in unusually cold weather! Hugely appreciated the 220V EV charger included at no cost as well as a complimentary bottle of wine for special occasion. Great location to get to JTNP & charming Pioneer Town as well as 29 Palms. IMO JT is best enjoyed mid-week as no crowds anywhere...but also less restaurants are open so there's that, haha. We loved hiking in JTNP at sunrise...then getting coffee & savory pastries at Boo's to bring back and eat by the fire pit. Sadly we had to leave a day early bc of historic winds, dust storms, snow showers as well as potential power outages. It hurt to let go of a paid for night, but Mother Nature had other plans for us... Joshua Tree is simply magical... see it all and enjoy various hikes at all levels! Particularly loved easy Barker Dam at sunrise & Cholla Cactus at sunset. And do not miss a great dinner at Kitchen in the Desert. And Pioneer Town famous Paddy & Harriet's as well as yummy tacos at Red lFig Saloon. Enjoy!

5/5. Our only regret was not staying longer. The check-in instructions were seamless, the rooms were immaculate, the bed was super comfortable, and the views were spectacular. Lots of charming amenities, including complimentary snacks and French press coffee in-room, walking trails on the grounds, and easy-to-use gas fire pit. Incredibly peaceful and enjoyed coffee by the fire while the sun rose over the mountains. Joshua Tree, restaurants, and major grocery/department stores are all within a short drive. Can't wait to stay here again.
