Joshua Tree Ranchito Regio de la Playa is only 8 miles from the Visitors Center and Eastern entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, and is the closest entrance to many of the parks top destinations, including the Bell, Cottonwood Springs, Jumbo Rocks, Ryan Mountain, Sheep's Pass, Skull rock and Split rock areas.
While at the ranch, guests are also only 4 miles away from the legendary Smith's Ranch drive in movie theater (one of the last of it's kind in the country), the famous 29 Palms Inn, the infamous Palms Saloon, and the wonderfully kitschy Foster's Freeze ice cream parlor. For awesome and totally unique hiking, running, mountain biking, off roading and horseback riding however you never need to get in your car. You can walk out the front door and take off, devising your own routes and outdoor adventures over miles and miles of scenic Mojave desert splendor. Wildlife is abundant in the park and at the ranchito and while lounging on the lanai, in a hammock, or in the jacuzzi our guests regularly spot coyotes, jackrabbits, all types of birds and the occasional bobcat.
We are a pet friendly spot, for well-behaved animals only please, and we charge dogs a $69. FEE PER PET, per stay. The ranch features a fenced-in dog area, and a dog day bed, so our four-legged family members can enjoy roaming the desert safely; but please note we can't welcome chewers, diggers, or aggressive types, and payment and a pet waiver form must be in place before arrival.
The ranch can also be rented for functions and group retreats and we have had as many as two dozen guests come together, pitch tents, or sleep in hammocks and party, study, or meditate all together, using the ranch house as a great room: meeting, cooking, eating, working and showering area. Given enough notice, and based upon availability, yoga and mindfulness instructors, massage and bodywork therapists, and climbing, hiking, cycling, ATVing, and horseback riding guides are available for hire.
Also, in nearby Pioneertown, people come from all over the world to visit the internationally-renowned Pappy and Harriet's concert venue and wild west town (Paul McCartney recently played there).
