Cynthia's

Death Valley National Park


This congenial inn helmed by the friendly Cynthia has hostel-style bunks and eclectically decorated rooms in vintage trailers, all with private bathroom. Alternatively, you can go glamping in Native American–style tipis with thick rugs and comfy beds tucked into the nearby date-palm oasis at China Ranch. Here, bathrooms are shared. Check-in is at the inn.
