California: Joshua Tree National Park

Although it is best known as an area for camping and staying in low-cost chain hotels, Joshua Tree National Park is gaining notoriety for its regional contemporary accommodations. Such lodging is attracting tourists who enjoy visiting desert attractions during the day, but prefer sleeping in comfortable indoor dwellings at night. These days, computer users can trek to the World Wide Web to find sites focusing on many of these modern inns and hotels.

Situated close to the park in the communities of Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms, the area's various nouveau lodgings span a wide range of styles and amenities. For instance, the Mojave Rock Ranch Cabins are made up of four rental houses perfect for family residency, each of which features a TV, a satellite dish, a small spa and a dog run. The Rosebud Ruby Star Bed and Breakfast and the Roughley Manor Bed and Breakfast Inn, on the other hand, boast quaint guest rooms as well as separate spacious cottages. Villa dei Fiori is unique in itself for being an elegant rental house aimed at adult patronage which consists of three bedrooms and one bathroom.

For a historical atmosphere, the Desert Queen Ranch near the Hidden Valley will suit many a tourist's fancy. Other lodgings include the Harmony Motel, where the band U2 stayed while recording their "Joshua Tree" album, and the 29 Palms Inn and the Joshua Tree Inn, which both include a dining area and a swimming pool. Needless to say, there's more than enough options for lodging in the Joshua Tree National Park region and the World Wide Web can supply any potential visitor to the park with information on the accommodations which best suit their individual desires.
