Fodor's Expert Review 29 Palms Inn

73950 Inn Ave., Twentynine Palms, California, 92277, USA Fodor's Choice

The closest lodging to the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, the funky 29 Palms Inn scatters a collection of adobe and wood-frame cottages, some dating back to the 1920s and 1930s, over 70 acres of grounds that include the ancient Oasis of Mara, a popular destination for birds and bird-watchers year-round. Guests can sign up for free one-hour nature walks guided by a naturalist. Innkeeper Heidi Grunt's warm, personal service more than makes up for the cottages' rustic qualities.
