The Joshua Tree Inn is a 1949 Spanish Colonial-style property arranged in a horseshoe configuration around a desert courtyard in Joshua Tree, California, five miles from Joshua Tree National Park. The inn's 11 ground-level rooms carry an eccentrically eclectic character shaped by decades of musicians, artists, and desert wanderers — most notably as the site of the legendary Gram Parsons Room (Room 8), which preserves its original 1973 décor in memory of the beloved country-rock songwriter. The property operates as a solar-powered establishment and offers a large seasonal swimming pool with ADA-compliant access, a zen courtyard with pond and fountain, a covered stage, fire pit, charcoal BBQ, and picnic areas shaded by desert flora. Groups may reserve the entire inn — all 11 rooms — for a fully private experience, making the Joshua Tree Inn a singular destination for music-inspired retreats, intimate celebrations, and buyout gatherings in the Mojave high desert.
