A fine choice. Desert Lily is in its own Joshua Tree setting perfectly equidistant between the park entry and village eating establishments. Reasonably priced and efficiently executed, this one-girl business does it just right. The smallish room was more than compensated for by outdoor areas lending themselves to desert appreciation. (And...not to be too subversive, but it was amongst travelers... More

What a terrific getaway for the family - 2 adults, 3 kids (11, 9 and 6). We stayed in a cabin rather than the B&B. Carrie was an exceptional host and the cabin was perfectly matched to the rustic scenery. It is perfectly located in a quiet section of Joshua Tree right between town and the park entrance. It was...

This B&B is in a beautiful Southwest-style building just minutes from the west entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, and is a perfect place to stay if you want to do day trips around the park. It is somewhat less convenient for Palm Springs, where we went a couple of days during our three night stay, as it is about... More

My fiance and I stayed at the Desert Lily for two nights in February 2012 and had a wonderful time. Carrie has created the perfect bed and breakfast. LOCATION: It is located a couple minutes off the main road leading into the park on a dirt road. Very easy to get to, but you have to drive slow on the... More

My wife and I stayed with Carrie at the Desert Lily for two nights in early February 2012. We could not have been happier with our stay. Carrie is a wonderful hostess, an excellent breakfast chef and a great advisor. She made numerous suggestions on how we could enjoy our trip to Joshua Tree and the vicinity. All of her... More

Our stay in Feb. 2012 was entirely without negatives. Carrie, the inn's owner and innkeeper, was very friendly, and most helpful with dining and hiking suggestions, as well as being the director and producer of outstanding breakfasts. She had the excellent trick of being both available when needed and otherwise unobtrusive. The bedroom and bathroom were pleasant and well appointed.... More

Amazing little gem. The scenery is beautiful and the park is very close by. Carrie is a most gracious hostess who is a phenomenal cook. Me and my husband loved the complimentary stocked wine and beer and the patio for star gazing. We will be back again. We had a fabulous time and enjoyed the nights spent there.

This is a wonderful place in the desert. Yes, the sleeping rooms are small, but guests (a maximum of 6) have 24 hour access to the huge, comfortable, airy greatroom with complementary wine, tea, coffee, and homemade cookies plus the extensive grounds, with desert landscaping, a hammock, a yoga/meditation room, and a firepit where you can build a fire, watch...

Sadly we only stayed at the Desert Lily for one night.....we would have stayed for at least a week if we had had the time! The inn is situated very close to the Joshua Tree National Park; literally a few minutes from the entrance. Its in a very very secluded area on the very edge of the town of Joshua... More
