About this property

Flamingo Ranch - Dreamy Desert Design

Summary:

Bold, quirky, and full of personality, Flamingo Ranch brings a fresh wave of retro-boho energy to the high desert. Nestled in Flamingo Heights just down the road from local staples like La Copine and the Integratron, this remodeled 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home easily accommodates up to four guests. It is an artfully curated landing pad designed for creative spirits, road-trippers, and design lovers who want something far beyond a standard stay.



The Space:

Step across polished concrete floors into an expansive living space wrapped in wall-to-wall windows. Natural desert sunlight bathes the room, highlighting eclectic boho decor, plush mid-century lounge seating, and a fully equipped kitchen built for entertaining. Both light-filled bedrooms feature cozy queen beds, premium linens, and private en-suite bathrooms, giving every guest a quiet retreat to recharge after exploring local vintage shops.



Stepping out into the sprawling yard unveils multiple dedicated lounging zones crafted for every phase of the day. Enjoy your morning coffee with the sunrise, rinse off under the outdoor shower after a dusty hike, or host dinner at the open-air dining table. As twilight sets in, sink into the bubbling hot tub for front-row views of bright, unpolluted night skies right next door to neighboring desert horse pastures.



PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:

• 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms, sleeps 4

• Private hot tub

• Covered Deck for Outdoor Dining

• Outdoor Shower

• Retro Inspired Kitchen

LOCAL ADD-ON EXPERIENCES

From sound baths and in-home massages to stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California, we've handpicked local vendors to match whatever mood you're in. Book a personal chef for a lazy night in, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a guided hike through the National Park or other local trails. However you want to spend your time here, relaxing or adventuring, the desert (and our favorite locals) has you covered. Once your reservation is confirmed, let us know you are interested and we will connect you!



Guest Access:

We like to respect our guest’s privacy, so you won’t see too much of us - unless you need us to come by. We will be available to answer any questions you may have and to help make your stay more enjoyable.



Getting Around:

We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable. If you prefer not to drive, the local taxi service Lucky 777 is a dependable option. Our property offers free parking for up to four vehicles to ensure your car is kept secure during your stay.



Other Things to Note:

3:00PM Check-In: We'd love for you to check in before 8pm so you have plenty of daylight to settle in and get comfortable before dark.



Mini Splits: Each room is equipped with its own mini-split unit, allowing guests to individually control heating and cooling for personalized comfort.



Pets Allowed: We welcome dogs for a fee of $60 per dog, with a maximum of 2 dogs per stay. Please note that no other pets are permitted at this property.



Guest Policy: We only allow the number of guests listed as the maximum occupancy for this property, so any additional day guests must be requested and approved in advance. No extra overnight guests are permitted beyond those included in your reservation.



Watch your Step: This desert land holds onto bits of its past, so you may spot the occasional rusty object or piece of glass in the yard, please wear shoes anytime you're outside. You'll also be sharing the landscape with local snakes and scorpions. They want nothing to do with you, so if you see one, just back away calmly and quietly



Wood Burning Fires: We do not permit wood-burning fires anywhere on the property at any time, including in fire pits or fireplaces, due to the high risk of wildfire in our area. This policy is strictly enforced for the safety of our guests, neighbors, and the surrounding landscape,.



Desert Critters: Please keep doors closed while entering and exiting, curious critters will let themselves in given the chance. Desert wildlife is part of what makes this area special, expect sightings of jackrabbits, tortoises, roadrunners, quail, and lizards. You may also spot coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, or occasionally a bobcat or mountain lion. Most just want their space, so it's best to give them yours.



Camera/ Decible Monitor: This property has forward-facing exterior security cameras, but there are no cameras anywhere inside the home. We also use noise decibel monitors indoors to help avoid disturbing neighbors. These only measure sound levels and never record audio.



Interaction with Guests:

We like to respect our guest’s privacy, so you won’t see too much of us. We will be available to answer any questions and to make your stay more enjoyable.

LOVED staying at the Flamingo Ranch! Such a cute little house and super convenient to Yucca Valley and Pioneertown shopping, restaurants and bars as well as Joshua Tree National Park. Enjoyed watching the horses at the ranch next store while sipping coffee, and sitting in the hot tub at night while looking at the stars. Would definitely stay again!

Great place in Flamingo Heights

Clean, quiet, peaceful spot. 360 around the house is gorgeous. Great outdoor patio for meals and great views. You don't see any neighbors except for the horses which are beautiful to watch from the patio. Host is very communicative and quick to respond.

Quiet with great sunrise/sunset

Magnificent surise and sunset. It was approx 11 miles from Joshua tree. We were only there for one night, but everything was very quiet and peaceful.

Comfortable stay

All the comforts of home, quiet and relaxing. Not as secluded as would’ve liked, but a nice stay. Lots of nature to see. Enjoyed all but the flies. Lol! Think the adjacent corral/stable contributed to that. Property management was attentive to our inquiries.

super cute!

This is a great space for visiting Joshua Tree NP and exploring the surrounding areas. We especially enjoyed the turntable and selection of vinyl--brought back some memories! It was too windy for using the hot tub or enjoying the outside seating much, but as another reviewer mentioned, the sunrises and sunsets were lovely! The freshly ground local coffee was a bonus.One note: the amenities list a washer and dryer, but apparently they aren't usually available for guests (though they gave me the code when I requested it).

- Very bad water pressure - showering is difficult - Primary bathroom toilet difficult to flush - Clogged shower heads - Second bathroom sink coming off the wall- Cheap, uncomfortable, worn dirty furniture- Upholstery and throw pillows dirty and worn - No rugs - echoes - Old used slippers were really gross and weird amenity- No curtains in the main space - Most of the window screens gone - Slow WiFi - Need Kitchen scissors- Need Lighter- Need More flatware 4x is not enough - Tongs would be useful - Cocktail glasses would be useful - No Dustpan - Dirty oven hood- Dirty glass light fixtures over kitchen bar bathroom - Second bedroom sliding door lock doesn’t work- Most of the vinyl records are gone. Just coversThis house feels really poorly maintained and desperately in need of care, deep cleaning, plumbing, landscaping, and updated furnishings. Booking and check in were complicated. Location was decent (if you don’t mind the smell of horse. I love horses). Local hosts were kind and attentive. Mostly the owners need to tend to the house and I’m surprised Hi Desert Dwellings is willing to represent this house in the condition it’s in. It would be difficult to trust this company again to accurately represent a rental property.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 July 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, and we're glad our local hosts were able to provide kind and attentive service during your stay. We take concerns about maintenance and cleanliness seriously, and we're sorry the house didn't meet the standard we expect for our guests. We're working directly with the owner on the plumbing, furnishings, and deep cleaning issues you raised so the property reflects the quality we aim to provide. We appreciate this feedback, as it helps us hold our properties accountable, and we hope you'll give us another opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.

Great for a Joshua Tree getaway weekend

Quaint little house out in a rural area for a nice weekend getaway to Joshua Tree. House had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. Hot tub was nice for evening relaxing. Check in process was easy and they provided a summary of restaurants and things to do in the area.
