Spin and Margie's Desert Hideaway is a small boutique hotel located on a secluded desert road right near the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. Its five uniquely decorated cabins have all the comforts of home, including large walled-in gardens and full kitchens (in all but one room). A colorful picnic and grill area adds a fun dimension to the self-catering atmosphere. The lack of an on-site restaurant may not suit those just looking for a base near the park, but self-sufficient travelers who crave something different from the usual fare will love the tranquil cactus garden, one-of-a-kind cabins, Americana aesthetic, and stunning desert scenery.
