The hosts were friendly; the suite was clean and inviting and the kitchen was well stocked. This was one of the most relaxing stays we have ever had, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Joshua Tree, California.

Affordable overnight stay near Joshua Tree National Park.
We had a lovely stop here on our cross country road trip! Definitely the most beautiful part of our stay. Joel was attentive, helpful, and has curated a fantastic place to stay in Joshua Tree!
Amazing spot! Had everything we needed, all in a perfect location with beautiful grounds and views! Joel stopped by to introduce himself and make sure everything was okay on our first day there. Cannot recommend this little gem in the desert enough! Certainly hope to return one day!
Kitchen was fully equipped for cooking, property was very clean, sitting area very nice, did not use pool only stayed night and was there late and out early. Overall the stay is nice, mattress was not great but ok, but we all have better mattresses at home so not going to ding it for that.
Everything was in great condition! Bathroom was small but everything was overall very comfortable. All other guests were respectful and the property was gorgeous.
Perfect getaway spot in Joshua Tree. Great location to tour town and get to the park. Clean and calming. Had a stocked kitchen and shampoo/conditioner/body wash in addition to the bathroom amenities. The property manager was immediately responsive and helpful. Would absolutely recommend this property.
The little bungalow was clean and as described. The pool was a welcome bonus.We just had a little issue with the AC leaking on us in the middle of the night.
Almost excellent stay! The kitchen was hard to work with due to size and lack of stove (there were electric hot plates) since we were staying three days and cooking. Views are great and other accommodations great!
This was the perfect getaway for a family trip. We loved Spin & Margies! It was close to the park entrance but still away from the main drag. Our host was great. Communication was easy and warm hearted. We will be returning.
Close to everything, clean, cute, great patio outside. This was perfect - had absolutely everything we needed. The host was so nice and communicative with the couple questions we had - and so quick to answer. Great for renting one unit but now we want to come back and bring a group of friends - it's perfect for either!
I stayed for 2 nights and found it to be very relaxing. This is a very original kind of place, maybe not for everyone. It is not like a chain motel, it has real character.
Number 3 was blissfully air conditioned when we arrived on a hot afternoon. The interior was lovely and the beds comfortable. The property was quiet. And when I accidentally left my phone in the room after checkout, one of the proprietors graciously let me back in. Weβll definitely be back!
