The Joshua Tree Inn is a historic Spanish Colonial-style motel on Highway 62 in Joshua Tree, arranged around a private desert courtyard and large pool. Its eclectic rooms, musical associations, and location about five miles from Joshua Tree National Park give the property a distinctive local character.

Courtyard Rooms and Suites

Eleven ground-level rooms form a square horseshoe, with every room facing the courtyard and pool. Accommodations range from standard queens and doubles to mini suites and two-room suites with full kitchens. Most include private patios, fridges, and microwaves. A separate three-bedroom house, Rocky Vista, adds a full kitchen, fireplace, covered deck, and access to the inn’s seasonal pool.

Desert Character and Music History

The solar-powered inn pairs eccentric, eclectic decor with panoramic desert views and a garden. Its music history is handled with a visible, specific connection: Room 8 is the Gram Parsons Room, where the musician spent his last hours, and the original mirror and picture remain on the wall. Other rooms honor figures connected to that history.

A Useful Park Base

Joshua Tree National Park is about five miles away, making the inn a convenient base for exploring the park and the surrounding Mojave. Some rooms are pet friendly for an added fee, and one suite has ADA access with a ramp and transfer shower. The range of room types can suit a short stay, a kitchen-equipped visit, or a larger party.

The Joshua Tree Inn suits travelers who appreciate a courtyard motel with an individual past and direct access to the desert beyond town. Review the room descriptions carefully, as the layouts and features vary across the property.
