This was our second stay at The Bungalows, and I can already tell you: we'll be back again and again. It has turned into one of our favorite getaways. It's equal parts wildlife retreat and gateway to eclectic local culture. The property is so serene and simple, yet exactly what is needed for a comfortable and restorative stay.

We loved our weeklong stay at The Bungalows. The desert views and the quite nights were perfect. Beautiful full-length windows, kitchen, outdoor seating were perfect. It's close to everything restaurants, shopping, and the National Park. We went on a walk around the property and used the swimming pool. We would definitely stay here again and recommend the Bungalows to everyone. Now the only different part is it is check in and out online no office. Oh, and if you are in town on a Saturday don't forget to stop by the farmer's market its fantastic.
