“We especially enjoyed early morning coffee each day while the sun came up - a magical time in the desert.” -Recent Review
-LIVING SPACE-
The sun-drenched living room features large windows and sliding glass doors that bring the outside in. It’s the perfect place to embrace the natural setting of this magical spot — no matter the temperature outside. Kick back and relax as you watch TV (DirecTV channels available) or stream your favorite tunes through the bluetooth speaker.
-OUTDOOR SPACE-
We want to make sure you are able to capture as much of the desert’s beauty and enjoy the sun as much as possible during your stay here. Thus, the outdoor space had been arranged to optimize your fun and relaxation. Admire the desert vistas from the wraparound patio, which is accessible from the living room, kitchen, or front door. You’ll find chairs and a BBQ out here, just waiting for you to have a cookout as the sun sets.
♦ Due to high fuel costs in our area, pool heating is not available in the winter but can be heated at $200/day in October & April. The pool is maintained at 80 degrees the other months, but can fluctuate slightly with extreme temperatures
-ESSENTIALS-
Morongo Star Ranch includes WiFi, heating, and air conditioning. On-site parking is available for 2 vehicles.
-ACTIVITIES/ATTRACTIONS-
Visitors come to the High Desert for its unique landscape, culture, and recreational opportunities, as well as for the weather - hot and dry summers and mild winters at our high altitude. Joshua Tree and the communities surrounding the Joshua Tree National Park include Flamingo Heights, Pioneertown, Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, and Landers. You’ll be close to all the action at Morongo Star Ranch. Some of our favorite options available to you:
–Joshua Tree National Park: 800,000 acres of mystical beauty - Joshua Tree National Park is one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures. Sweeping, grand in scale and populated by granite monoliths and voluptuous rock and boulder formations. This quiet land, conducive to meditation and roaming, was carved by extremes in climate - wind, rain and an ever-present, relentless sun. Diverse forms of plant life are found everywhere, but none as unique or prevalent as the park’s namesake: the Joshua tree, standing majestically across the vast topography.
–Pioneertown: Step back in time to thus rustic Old West-style village. Wander through the historic buildings, visit unique shops, catch a live music performance at Pappy & Harriets, and experience the Wild West charm.
• The Integratron: New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.

** Cleaning Protocols ***
As the only professional management company in the area, we have always maintained exceptional cleaning standards. We pay above the living wage standards; 100% of your cleaning fee is paid to the cleaners (i.e. no profit to us) and we insist on a professional level of cleaning between guests. We love the High Desert for a lot of reasons - including the open spaces, lack of crowds, and dry weather that we believe make it a safe place to visit.

Transit
Many roads in the high desert are dirt, so please take it slow. While a car is required to get around, a four wheel drive car is not if you follow our directions, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain.
PLEASE NOTE that names of streets on maps and on street signs often differ in Morongo Valley, and some roads can be quite difficult as they are not publicly maintained. Please be sure to follow our turn-by-turn directions.
