Just to think all this time this was right in my backyard. Easy to get to but it is quite muddy, so be sure to bring a pair of shoes that you don't care about. A big enough pool with different spots that were hotter then other spots. While I was soaking I found a couple of hot pockets for my feet that felt really nice. Also be sure to bring water, snacks or food, towels, a blanket, your favorite playlist on your Bluetooth speaker, a folding chair, extra set of warm clothes (if your coming during the winter). I also saw firewood there. So someone made a fire which I'm sure was pretty cool! I'll I ask is to Respect Mother Nature and enjoy what she's offering us.

We got one of the rooms with a kitchen area and it had a nice clean working kitchen along with a nice shower and beds, all well-designed and fit into a small room. The common area outside had a couple of tables and a few chairs. The monster-size trees and beautiful flowering bushes were amazing. There is some kind of water table near the surface and some greenery, even in the middle of summer in this desert. Very well maintained, and owners are gradually making improvements on what is already a very nice motel.

Camping/RV'ing would probably be the sensible way to go in this area but if that's not your thing,…read more$179/night is the price you will have to pay to stay at the Shoshone Inn as of Dec. 2023. Shoshone Inn (really a motel) is pretty much the only establishment in the area and was convenient for my planned expeditions, so I bit the bullet and made the reservation. Amenities: Hot shower (no tub), mini-fridge, microwave and Keurig coffee maker including coffee pods and creamer. Breakfast of bagels, yogurt and fruit also included. BTW the hot water was truly hot, which was nice (it's chilly here in winter). Lots of complimentary goodies (lotion, shampoo, bath gel, even eye gel and pillow spray to help you get a good night's sleep). Room: Very comfortable bed, large wardrobe for storage, and a nice desk with chair. NO CELL SERVICE OR LANDLINE phone here; but there is free Wi-Fi and a pay phone nearby for emergencies. Cleanliess was great. Service: Check-in ran a little late as my room was not ready when I arrived. Keeping in mind that the town of Shoshone has a population of 31, it must be hard to keep enough staff to get everything done. Everyone was very friendly and helpful about the process and answered all my questions. Just go with the flow. THE BEST THING: The Warm Springs Pool. Staying at the Inn gives you access to the Warm Spring Pool, which is heavenly. Shoshone is home to amazing natural hot springs (as well as their own species of pupfish adapted to live in the springs.) These springs feed the pool, which is a short hike from the hotel. Parking: Free in the lot. Tips: Bring food and supplies, there's a gas station market right next store to the motel but with limited provisions. Drive to Tecopa for more hot springs. And have dinner at Steaks and Beer (reservation highly suggested.)

Every conceivable spot has been transformed, and it twists and winds around itself, every bend revealing a colorful surprise. They've built multiple suites around the site, each one a gem. Ours was very comfortable and plenty warm in December. Lots of outdoor seating areas. The property abuts BLM land, so all you see is desert stretching endlessly into the distance. Let them feed you, for Pete's sake. The meals exceeded my expectations by a mile. Every meal (we did two breakfasts and one dinner) was a multi-course feast, with a ton of variety, flavor, and above all clean, healthy, nourishing food. If you take nothing else from my review, just trust that you want Carlo and Jack to cook for you. Villa Anita is warm, welcoming, eclectic, lively, and fun. Carlo is buzzing with energy and stories and Jack is sweet and serene. They have a pack of six darling dogs, so if that's not your jam, be advised. We loved them all: Guido, Vida, Dillon/Pickles, Lucy O. Ball, Dwight White and Betty White Magoo of the Long Island Magoos (my favorite, although Lucy took a shine to my traveling companion). There is no internet or cell service, and no television so it's best for people who know how to unplug and be present together. We spent the day exploring, so after our wonderful mini dinner parties we were happy to retire and recharge for more adventures the next day. Go use the private tub at Tecopa Hot Springs for extra deep relaxation. We loved our stay and plan to return.

My wife was going to get a chance to soak. We drove up to the office. There was no one there. My wife got outside read all the signs rang a bell and waited a good 5 minutes. Maybe more. In the heat. Outdoors. A woman, with a scowl on her face and a very sour demeanor drove up to talk to my wife. We offered to rent an RV willing to pay up to $100 to use one for a few hours. Just so that my son and I had a place to spend time while my wife soaked. We were willing to pay for my wife and I took as well. The weirdest thing. They were not interested in any business. It was the greatest feeling of unwelcome I've seen in quite a while. I will say that as well their competitor was no better. I'll leave that review separately. Very sad. Terrible experience.

Hostel is an old trailer with one private room, a dorm for 4 & a well equipped kitchen. Bring your own food, water, etc as it is little expensive at store. Great place to view stars. They have a viewing tower for it. Only cons, it is 1 - 1 1/2 drive to badwater basin. So it is a great place to make a stop. If i have to spend few days in Death Valley, I will live at stovewells pipe or Furnance Creek. Gas is very expensive. I will definitely recommended this place.

We used the location as our base for covering Death Valley and absolutely loved it! You check in at Cythias and then they lead you, by car, to the tipis by leaving the road and driving through a small canyon that opens out into the China Ranch Date Farm. The tipis are amongst the date palms next to the house which contains kitchen facilities if you wish to prepare food for yourselves. The tipis have air conditioning and heating if you need it while maintaining the pleasures of sleeping under canvas. There are no meals available at Cynthia's but there are several reasonable places to eat and one superb restaurant that is truly a surprise in this location. Talk to Cynthia about the places to eat and you won't be disappointed. There is also a local bar that bees its own beers from some non-traditional ingredients and the ones we tried during our stay and they were excellent. One of the benefits of being far away from built up areas is the the nighttime sky. The stars feel as if they are pressing down on you. Cynthia has an astro safari where Chad can answer any questions you have about the night skies. Chad has a massive astronomical telescope through which he will show you the farther reaches of our galaxy and galaxies beyond. We can really recommend this safari with the combination of pristine clarity and a passionate and knowledgable guide in Chad. We stayed at Cynthia's prior to the availability of the desert safaris. We would like to go back to Cynthia's and take advantage of these excursions. Cynthia loves Death Valley and know is intimately. There is so much to explore with limited time.

February, running away from the cold and snow, we found this place. This place (city? I mean, it…read morehas post office) is a real treat for those who enjoy places that move at the pace of three-toed sloths. And that is us. There isn't much here. A gas station, a restaurant/bar that is not bad, a store (with a bizarre but limited array of supplies: sodas, canned foods, souvenirs, some frozen stuff), a post office (how the heck did they swing that?), a museum (not to be missed and the day we visited there was a gentleman who lived in the area who was originally from NJ who was a wealth of information and ideas of what to do), and an RV park which has a wonderful pool and nice people. OK, first, understand where you are. In the middle of frigging nowhere. Set your expectations accordingly. Next, if you can get over the jitters of not being connected (OMG, that's right, no cell phone coverage for most providers although there is spotty wifi coverage at the RV park, but for crying out loud, get over it!!!! Enjoy being disconnected and reconnect with what is around you!) you just may see the draw of such isolation. The guy at the museum gave us a few maps with trails. We hiked the three trails (they all connect) across the street from the RV park. We hiked for a good two-plus hours and saw no other people. We did find spectacular vistas and some birds we had never seen before (get the list from the museum). The trail dumped us back at the museum and a short walk back to the RV park. The next day we hiked the old High School cross-country running trail. It is a three mile trek (on both hikes we are glad we had a pair of small bird-watching binoculars as sometimes the poles for the trails were hard to find) staring at a trailhead right behind the RV park. It goes through a series of streams and ponds where we saw more pup fish ( a rare, warm water desert fish) then we had seen in Death Valley, and then up around the back of town. The area was beautiful, if you are able to enjoy desert landscape. If not you wen to the wrong place. At the end of the three miles, you come through a really interesting area of old homes of miners who built their homes into the hills. Really fascinating. Then there is the cemetery, also really interesting to walk through. The third day we drove out to China Ranch, a working date farm where you can get date shakes and buy fresh date. Um, we both a lot!. We would urge you to do this day trip. Take water and some food for lunch and make a day of it. The trails are marvelous and, again, well maintained for being out in the middle of nowhere. Don't overlook a walk through the date farm itself. What is bizarre about Shoshone is that is all (except for the post office) owned by one couple. They maintain the place and have invested heavily to preserve the unique history and the rare natural resources. Why? I have no idea, but we were very pleased that someone has done this. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 days there and really saw about all there is to see. Again, it is not for everyone. If you can't dial it back, you may not like it.
