"Recently revamped, the Bungalows by Homestead Modern were designed by acclaimed midcentury-modern architect Harold Zook. This former-motor-lodge-turned-boutique motel has all the trappings that visitors expect from a Joshua Tree getaway: desert expanses, midcentury-modern accommodations, and a dash of New Age magic. The Bungalows, which opened in June 2022, is located on the Joshua Tree Retreat Center, aka the Institute of Mentalphysics. The rooms at the Bungalows are steeped in midcentury details: original post-and-beam ceilings, polished concrete floors, and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors." - Mae Hamilton

"Experience midcentury modern style and the resilient beauty of Joshua trees on an eccentric New Age campus at the Bungalows by Homestead Modern. The quirky Mojave desert town of Joshua Tree has long held a reputation for being a place where visitors can dabble in New Age philosophy, admire midcentury modern architecture, and take in the otherworldly beauty of the stark landscape dotted with Joshua trees. The Bungalows, a recently revamped midcentury modern hotel with 14 suites spread out over three buildings, locally owned and managed by Homestead Modern, is set within the sprawling 130-acre campus of the Joshua Tree Retreat Center, aka the Institute of Mentalphysics. The original structures were constructed in 1960 and designed by the midcentury modern architect Harold Zook. The Bungalows offer a no-contact hotel experience with contemporary amenities and no television, encouraging guests to immerse themselves in the beauty and activities of the surroundings." - Mae Hamilton
