"Since debuting in 2010, Homestead Modern has earned a reputation as the leader in offering the High Desert’s most chic remote accommodations ...Now the company is expanding to offer a hotel-style destination, firmly cementing its foothold in desert hospitality.” - C Magazine



On the edge of Joshua Tree National Park, where a forest of wild paloverde trees meets towering granite boulders, the Joshua Tree Retreat Center welcomes the first traditional premium hospitality offering in the area. The 14 suites, now known as The Bungalows, were designed and constructed in 1960 by the architect Harold Zook as accommodations for the site’s on-campus teachers. Located in the northwest corner of the center’s more than 130 acres of desert, The Bungalows still feature their original wood exteriors, while the interiors seem sun-bleached, with earthy jute and sea grass rugs, woven cane-backed chairs, and intricate millwork to evoke a bare-sand feel.



The spaces were redeveloped by the hospitality company Homestead Modern and restored in collaboration with the consulting designer Brad Dunning; as a nod to the work of the Swiss architect Albert Frey, the rooms are accented with yellow textiles, the color of Encelia flowers, a hue popularized by Frey in his modernist structures in nearby Palm Springs.



Guest Access:

RETREAT CENTER CAMPUS: There are a variety of classes, workshops, and activities hosted by our partners at The Joshua Tree Retreat Center. Please check their website for their most updated schedule and fees. We are not responsible for the programming, pool, hot tub, cafe, or any part of the retreat center campus outside of The Bungalows, though we are lucky to be neighbors to it all and are always excited to help our guests interface with this historic campus. We ask our guests to please be respectful of any private or silent retreats they encounter during their stay.



*The hot tub is warm and inviting during the winter months, making it a great way to enjoy the season. Please note that the center doesn't heat it during the summer, so plan your visit accordingly.*
