Centrally located edge-of-town bungalow

The Type Inn is a most comfortable and well-equipped home away from home, beautifully decorated with the owner's art. It suited our needs perfectly and we had a wonderful stay.

Great Location & Vintage Flair

We went to Joshua tree for my husband's birthday. The Type Inn was the perfect place to stay, very close to the National Park and some cute artistic shops. Loved the typewriters and especially the record player. It was cold and snowing on our visit but it was nice and cozy stay- hope to visit again.

We enjoyed our stay!

The house had just what we needed, we enjoyed using the typewriters, reading books, playing board games, listening to music. Our dog had fun running around the yard. The location was great too; close to one of the national park’ s entrance and close to stores.

Great little place with character

This was a fun place to stay very close to the entrance to the park. If you've never seen a typewriter or a vinyl record player before it's kind of a treat. The house is very responsive.

Made our stay extra special!

The Type Inn is a gem! The layout, ambiance, vibe and eclectic art/artifacts made our stay extra special. We enjoyed returning after our days spent exploring Joshua Tree National Park. Close to JTNP and the town for food, shops, etc. It was apparent that our host enjoyed creating a place and environment (including the yard) that would be unique and memorable. One of my favorite VRBO stays!

Perfect Location & Clean

Nice size house with all the amenities including toiletries and kitchen items - drip coffee maker too. Quiet location and close the entrances of Joshua Tree National Park. Good communications with host. Wonderful coffee shop right down the road (Joshua Tree Coffee Company). Perfect and cozy in every way with nice art as well. Thank you!

The Type Inn was eclectic and cute. A good value. Very close to town. Super clean. Now this isn’t a deal breaker, but I would have preferred better bedding and the kitchen dishes, utensils, glasses and pots and pans were all mismatched. Overall it was a great location for our reunion in Joshua Tree.

Nice place but way to much air freshener

The property is as advertised. The neighborhood was quiet. Overall an enjoyable experience. However, someone went crazy with the air freshener. The house, towels, sheets, pillows just reeked and even after 4 days was still way to strong. It was like living in a box of fabreeze dryer sheets.

Joshua Tree gem

The Type Inn is clean, comfortable, quiet and convenient. Keyless entry was easy to use. The house was spotless. It’s on the edge of town but only two blocks from the street that leads into the national park entrance that is the absolute best of JTNP’s three entry points. There was very little street traffic. Birds provided the ambient noise. Heat/AC system, kitchen and bathroom plumbing all worked perfectly. In addition to the park, this rental offers easy access to Palm Springs, Pioneertown and La Copine, the wonderful foodie mecca. The house is charming and cozy. A great value!

Cozy, bright, and quiet home with lovely views!

Cozy and bright two-bedroom, one bathroom house with a large, comfy seating area (couch and recliner). There is no television but honestly during our three-night stay we never missed it. This is the place to rent if you need a yard for your K9(s). Large, completely fenced corner lot with a number of cozy seating areas. From the front yard you can see a lot of the valley which was especially beautiful at night. If you plan to cook there you might want to bring your own essentials (we needed cooking spray and a sheet pan) but is mostly stocked for simple meals. Very quiet location with a tiny bit of vehicle traffic and some foot traffic and overall very quiet. Nice neighborhood to take a stroll. Is located less than a mile from the main boulevard that runs through Joshua Tree which was super convenient. We already reserved our dates for next year!

Absolutely PERFECT

My wife and I stayed at the Type Inn for just under two months. It's in the perfect location from downtown JT & extremely convenient for traveling into the National Park. You're able to witness the beauty of the area's sunrise and sunset every day. AMAZING. We absolutely love it, and to be honest, didn't want to leave. The house came equipped with literally everything we needed, plus more. Communicating with Louise (the owner), was an absolute breeze. She was super nice and very prompt to answer any questions that we had during our stay. I could go on and on...10/10 recommend!
