*2 King Beds ๐Ÿ›Œ๐Ÿ›Œ!
*1 Queen Bunk Bed which is 2 Queen Mattresses๐Ÿ›Œ๐Ÿ›Œ

Tucked away in the rugged heart of Yucca Valley, just a stone's throw from the raw beauty of Joshua Tree National Park, you'll find the Hidden Gold Ranch House. This isn't your typical vacation rental; it's a dive into the soul of the desert, a place where the wild, untamed spirit of the West is captured in every nook and cranny. ๐ŸŒต๐Ÿ’ซ

Surrounded by a grove of stoic Joshua Trees, the ranch offers a half-acre of private, resort-style living with a heated saltwater pool and spa that seem to whisper secrets of the desert under the moonlit sky ๐ŸŒœ๐Ÿ’ฆ. Inside, the dรฉcor is a mix of cowboy and bohemian stylesโ€”think of it as a haven for those who live by their own rules, with king beds that invite tales of adventure and a queen bunk bed that's more than just a place to crash!๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐ŸŽธ


Pool Maintenance Reminder:

For the best pool experience, Alvino, our pool specialist, performs essential maintenance on Tuesdays and Fridays between 12 PM and 2 PM. His work, crucial for ensuring clean and safe water, takes less than 20 minutes. We kindly ask for your cooperation during this brief time to allow access. Thank you for your understanding and helping us keep our pool in top condition!

Step outside the gates, and you're in the heart of Yucca Valley's vibrant local scene, with stores, restaurants, and iconic spots like Pappy & Harriet's and the Integratron offering a taste of the local lore and live tunes that echo the desert's timeless call ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŽถ. The treasure hunt continues with vintage and boutique shops scattered along Highway 62, each with its own story to tell ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐ŸŒž.

But let's not gloss over the essence of this place. Hidden Gold Ranch House sits quietly in a peaceful neighborhood, a mere wander away from the vast wilderness of Joshua Tree National Park. Here, guests hold the keys to their own desert kingdom, complete with smart lock access and a spa remote controlโ€”modern conveniences that never overshadow the rustic charm ๐Ÿ”‘๐ŸŒต

The kitchen is a testament to the spirit of hospitality, stocked with spices and all the gear needed to brew up some Joshua Tree Coffee, making mornings something to look forward to โ˜•๐ŸŒ…. And for those cooler desert nights, the pool's waters can be warmed, offering an oasis of comfort amid the whispering winds of the desert ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ.

Now, let's talk about the stars. The Hidden Gold Ranch House offers an unparalleled stargazing experience that's simply out of this world. With minimal light pollution, the night sky reveals itself in a spectacle of twinkling lights, galaxies, and shooting stars, turning the simple act of looking up into a profound cosmic journey ๐ŸŒŒโœจ. It's a reminder of the vastness of the universe and our place within it, all from the comfort of your desert retreat!

But this is more than just a place to stay; it's an invitation to live a little louder, to explore not just the landscape but also the limits of your own comfort zone. With a few ground rules to respect the tranquil vibe and local wildlife, it's about embracing the adventure while being mindful of the magic that makes this place unique ๐Ÿš€๐ŸŒŒ.

Anthony Bourdain might have said it's about the journey, not just the destination. Hidden Gold Ranch House embodies this spirit, offering a basecamp for those eager to explore the raw, unfiltered beauty of Joshua Tree and its surroundings. It's more than just a vacation rentalโ€”it's a gateway to experiences that stick with you, long after the desert dust has settled on your boots ๐ŸŒ„๐Ÿƒ

Peaceful and Relaxing
Just what my wife and I were hoping for. Tranquil and relaxing setting with perfect weather for visits with family. The house is comfortable, well equipped with a beautiful pool. We especially liked all the trees with a wide variety of birds (including a Great Horned Owl that was a nightly visitor).

Gem in the Desert
We had a fun and restful stay with 2 adults, 3 teens, and a 12 year old. All enjoyed the property, it's proximity to great hikes, the clean pool and pool toys, the access to everything we needed for preparing meals, and more. Beds were comfortable and everyone slept well. We also enjoyed some March Madness on the tv and everyone had a seat! Hosts Skip and Monica were helpful and communicative. We hope this was just our first stay.

Perfectly appointed vacation rental in excellent location
Our family of five spent four nights here and enjoyed it immensely. The kids loved the bunk beds, horse themed room and especially the pool/hot tub. I appreciated the well appointed kitchen, grill and fire pit. Plenty of towels for the pool and showering. There were lots of leftover spices, oil, coffee and cleaning supplies. These are usually things we have to buy when going to other VRBOs. It really felt like staying at a home and not just a rental property. There were also games, a cute bar set up area in the living room and lots of seating at the dining table. Great experience and highly recommend!

We can't wait to welcome you to one of our properties and share the beauty of the desert with you.

Why they chose this property

Our property is located in a peaceful and quiet residential section of Yucca Valley, making it the perfect retreat for those looking to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the desert. Plus, you'll be within walking distance to the boundary of Joshua Tree National Park and just a short 15-minute drive to the official park entrance in Joshua Tree. If you're interested in camping, the Black Rock Canyon Campground is also conveniently nearby.

For those looking to explore the surrounding area, we're just a short drive away from Pioneertown and Pappy & Harriet's, two must-see destinations in the area.

We believe our property is the perfect home base for anyone looking to experience the best of the desert and we look forward to hosting you!

What makes this property unique

Getting around Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree is a breeze, with Highway 62 running through the entire city. Along the way, you'll find Morongo Valley gas stations, Cactus Mart, and a variety of unique vintage stores with cafes sprinkled in. Be sure to stop by the Frontier Cafe on Pioneer Road and Hwy 62 before checking out the art display at the ACME gift shop out back, and don't miss the inviting Hoof and Post and other nearby shops.

There are also several grocery stores along Hwy 62, including Stater Brothers, Vons, and Grocery Outlet, as well as a row of fast food options that includes Arbyโ€™s, McDonald's, Del Taco, Sonics, and Starbucks. Towards Yucca Valley's end, you'll find the Super Walmart and Home Depot, along with more chain eateries like Steak and Shake, Panda Express, and Taco Bell.

Joshua Tree City is home to stunning scenic views and unique stores, including the must-visit Rock Shop and Joshua Tree Coffee. If you're up for an adventure, head down Park Ave. to discover Coyote Corner, JT Saloon (which can have a long wait but is worth it), JT Visitor Center, and the Crochet Museum.

Park Ave. is also the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, where you can explore the breathtaking landscapes and take on a variety of hikes. Note that there is a fee of around $30.00 to enter the park, but it's well worth it. Our favorite hike is Parker Dam, and we highly recommend checking out the photo-worthy Skull Rock while you're there.
