Artful Lodgings around Joshua Tree National Park
”Spin and Margie’s Desert Hide-a-Way...at the park’s west entrance, is one of the most unique of these inns. The grounds around the inn were part botanical garden, part artist’s playground. Chaise lounges were tucked here and there beneath trees and behind cacti...Innkeepers Mindy Kaufman and Drew Reese had painstakingly transformed every inch of the inn into a colorful oasis, with down quilts, fluffy towels, music CDs and videos. The well-equipped kitchen had a cook top and small refrigerator, pots, pans, and plates — plus a mini pantry with all the necessities .”

High Style in the High Desert
“One of the more original places to stay in these parts is Spin and Margie’s Desert Hide-a-way, where four haciendas, all enclosed by a courtyard, offer as many amenities as a Ritz Carlton. You might say it’s the Ritz (high desert style) without the glitz.”

A quick study of Joshua Tree’s wild side
“We had heard good things about Spin and Margie’s Desert Hide-a-way. Funky, someone said. Eclectic, someone else said. It is both, with a little Santa Fe,.a little Morocco, a little Mexico and a slice of ‘50s memorabilia to round things out.”

Los Angeles Times, April 13, 2003

“Spin and Margie’s Desert Hide-a-way is the perfect desert oasis with a unique blend of southwestern decor with a splash of ‘50s modern stylish fun.”
