The Thunderbird Retreat Lodge Ranch House + Saloon was exactly what we were looking for - an escape to the desert and a visit to the park. It is fairly secluded down a dirt road, but Lori will guide you right there easily. The house is quaint with a lot of sleeping space. One of the big draws is the property with the saloon/ghost town out back.
We spent a majority of the warm days and evening hanging out there, playing games and looking out over the desert/mountains. This place is the perfect Joshua Tree hideaway. Went with my girlfriend and two small dogs. The large yard around the Rock House allowed the dogs plenty of safe room to play and roam without worrying about them.
