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.

What a wonderful place. The tranquility and ambiance is absolutely stunning. We stayed in the Jade room and it was just perfect. The outdoor tub is amazing! The outside mattress is perfect for star gazing. The view from this room is just breathtaking. Nestled just one mile from the entrance to Joshua Tree, this little piece of heaven is worth staying at. We will be back!

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.

Great little desert oasis 1 mile from Joshua Tree NP entrance.

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.

Wonderful space. Clean and easy to access. Great time star gazing in the desert comfortably.
