We loved our stay! So unique and beautiful. Super clean and furniture was 60's modern style. But the best part were the floor to ceiling windows and outdoor areas. We stayed in 1C and had a BEAUTIFUL view of the desert. The retreat center was fun to explore and the pool was very refreshing. We only stayed for one night, but we will be back for a longer stay.

Absolutely beautiful property. The suites are spacious and convenient with the kitchen and dining and living areas. The location feels very intimate and secluded and Joshua Tree and major shopping areas are just a short drive away.

Great stay. I will definitely be back. I loved the architecture and the setting. The Mentalphysics backstory added an interesting vibe. The only issue I have to report is that I could only get one of the burners on the stove to light. This was in Bungalow K. When lit, the flame was small and it took a long time for the water to boil. But everything else was excellent.

The bungalow we rented was immaculate. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the area surrounding the bungalow is beautifully landscaped. The area is quiet and peaceful. There were dozens of hummingbirds and birds every morning enjoying the flowers!
