## Resource

In this episode of Outdoor Hospitality Weekly , we sit down with Ben Uyeda, founder of HomeMade Modern, to unpack the development story behind RESET Hotel in Twentynine Palms, California. Ben shares how the concept came together—from early site planning and zoning considerations to shaping a modern desert hospitality concept that balances design, function, and guest experience. We explore how the property responds to its environment, the trade-offs made during development, and the realities of building a boutique hotel from the ground up. This conversation offers a candid look at the development process, including lessons learned, design decisions, and how intentional planning can simplify operations while elevating the end experience. Whether you’re developing a hotel, glamping project, or outdoor hospitality concept, this episode provides practical insight into turning an idea into a finished destination.
