Sacred Sands

4.5 stars. I stayed here with a friend back In July for two nights. I had never heard of this place and thought I got “stuck with the last resort” as I ran out of houses to book due to not planning ahead. But I was pleasantly surprised at how cool this place was. There are only two units so it’s perfect in the time of social distancing. That said, be prepared to be somewhat isolated. I initially planned on traveling by myself but was joined by a friend at the last-minute, which was a blessing. Otherwise, I would have felt a little uneasy being all by my lonesome in this house in the middle of nowhere. Rooms are adequately-sized and has all of the amenities of a rental that you would need. If they don’t have it, you can just contact the owners to ask for something. The shared spaces are also really neat and photo-worthy. I love the unit’s outdoor tub and bed and general space, and once you see it, you’ll definitely recognize it from some photoshoots or Instagram. The weekend we were there was an amazing time to see the heavens (between Neowise and six planets aligning). I loved being able to just stay on the outdoor bed, drink wine, and stargaze. The main purpose of my trip was to reflect and bond with my friend, and SS helped make that happen. Would definitely come back.

Fantastic in every regard. The views from our room (Onyx) were amazing. The room itself was comfortable and very nicely decorated. I especially enjoyed the record (yes vinyl) player. The location was fantastic as you are a mile from the main park entrance, but also close to town for restaurants, etc. While the owners are not on the premises list a large hotel, I emailed asking for recommendations for places to eat, etc., and they gave us prompt and great advice.

Peace in the desert. A delightful small hotel with private outdoor tubs for soaking and taking in the stars, a killer view of the desert and mountains, southwestern style architecture and grounds, and located just a mile from the western entrance to Joshua Tree NP. This is a family run business with friendly owners and a quiet, layed back quality. No television -- a huge plus in a setting as beautiful as this one. Clean. Easy peasy check in and check out. The owners provide helpful information about places to eat, local attractions, favorite hikes.

Keith was an exemplary host! Beautiful place that we can't wait to revisit.

We loved our stay. It was exactly as described quiet and with stunning views. We loved the outside tub. Great place! We would love to stay here again.
