** 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.
Access Access
You will have the entire house and property to yourself.
Neighborhood Neighborhood
Morongo Valley is a small, quiet community featuring one of the best bird watching locations in the Western United States: Big Morongo Canyon Preserve. Morongo Valley is an ideal High Desert locale, set halfway between the restaurants, shops, and nightlife of Palm Springs (30-minute drive) and the wonders of Joshua Tree National Park (35-minute drive to the West Entrance).

This area is located within a short drive of delicious restaurants and fun things to do. Here are a few favorites:
• Dillon's Burgers & Beers (7-minute drive) - Old-school eatery known for hearty food and arcade games.
• Morongo Valley Cafe (8-minute drive) - Neighborhood favorite for breakfast classics like eggs benedict and huevos rancheros.
• Joshua Tree Village (30-minute drive) - Quirky strip of boutiques and restaurants, including Coyote Corner, Space Cowboy Books, and the rustic Joshua Tree Saloon.
• Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum (35-minute drive) - As far from a stuffy gallery as you can imagine, this outdoor sculpture garden contains a unique collection of folk-art.
• The Integratron (35-minute drive) - New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.
• Mt. San Jacinto State Park (60-minute drive) - Expansive, hilly landscape with foot and horseback trails surrounding 10,834-foot Mount San Jacinto.

Of course, let’s not forget about the essentials. Everything you need is within close driving distance:
• Closest supermarket: Vons (23-minute drive)
• Closest liquor store: King's Liquor Store (20-minute drive)
• Closest pharmacy: Rite Aid Pharmacy (22-minute drive)
• Closest bank: Wells Fargo Bank (20-minute drive)
• Closest gas station: Circle K (7-minute drive)
Transit 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.
Notes Notes
• EVENTS & COMMERCIAL PHOTOSHOOTS: Are not permitted without prior approval, applicable permit and additional fees.

• DOGS: Dogs are welcome and there is a one time fee of $100. Maximum of 2 Dogs allowed. No other types of animals are authorized.

• SOCIAL MEDIA: If you plan on sharing your experience on social media, please mention us!

• CELL SERVICE: Cell phone service availability and quality in the high desert varies by service provider. This is particularly true in the more remote areas of Joshua Tree, Pipes Canyon, and Pioneertown. Please be prepared by enabling wifi calling or downloading a VOIP program.

• ROAD CONDITIONS: Many roads are dirt, so please take it slow. A four wheel drive car is not required, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain

• WILDIFE: During the Spring & Summer, honeybees gather near the far end of the pool (and the spa). They are not aggressive and will typically ignore swimmers. We have created two small diversion pools and are working to get them to seek water elsewhere. We are very respectful of wildlife and have been working with experts from the National Park Service to mitigate this. We apologize for the inconvenience!

It’s beautiful, private and quiet. There are so many birds if you’re a bird watcher. We did see a coyote, but heard them every night. Close to Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley and Morongo actually had some very cool shops.

Morongo Star Ranch was everything we hoped for and more. The space feels really comfortable and homey with nice decorative touches throughout, lots of light and great views from all the windows. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and we loved the hot tub. Great location for privacy and easy driving distances to Palm Springs or Joshua Tree. Buy your groceries in these locations as you won't find any fresh food close by. Absolutely loved our stay here and would happily return! Friendly and responsive hosts : )

The property offers wonderful views and a sense of seclusion. The interior is more compact than the images indicate. The sofa bed left something to be desired comfort-wise. The overhead kitchen lights did not seem to work. The pool and spa are very nice. We were notified beforehand about non-functioning pool lights but had hoped for repairs during our stay. Other exterior lights were also unreliable. The kitchen appliances functioned well, and the grill was excellent. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the privacy and quiet that Morongo Star Ranch offered.
- Review Date: 3/11/2025
We appreciate your notes on the sofa bed, lighting, and other areas, these will certainly help us improve the experience for future guests. We apologize that the pool lights and some exterior lights weren’t repaired during your stay. The pool light bulbs have been ordered, but as they are specialty items, it may take some time for them to arrive. We're happy to hear the kitchen appliances and grill were to your liking, and we truly appreciate your understanding. We’d love to host you again.

We wanted a remote, private experience to relax for the weekend and this property delivered on that. We enjoyed the space all to ourselves with beautiful surroundings and a lovely hot tub and pool area to retreat to. Cook for yourselves or head out to great local fare. Palm Springs and Joshua tree both within a half hour drive.

The Morongo Star Ranch is a gorgeous private desert getway spot. The house is 100% as advertised. The setting is gorgeous. We had sunny days and spectacular night skies. The location was the perfect spot for a great week exploring the Joshua Tree and Palm Springs area. The hosts were proactive about reaching out, but we had no issues. Everything went great.

We had a truly wonderful time at this secluded and private oasis. The serene location offered the perfect getaway, surrounded by peaceful desert landscapes.

We spent four days here shortly before Christmas, and it was lovely. The house was exactly as described and in the photos. The kitchen had everything that you need (including plenty of coffee), and the hot tub was lovely on a starry night. We had some trouble getting in when we arrived, but the host was super responsive and helpful. The place is definitely off the beaten path, down several short dirt roads, so you'll want to try to get there before sundown when you first check-in. It was a great stay!

My husband, son and I had a great time at the Morongo Star Ranch. Very quiet place, comfy bed and beautiful design and setting all around. Drive in requires a short section of FWD and at night visibility can be tricky. Communication with the host was excellent. If anything the automated messages were a little too much and at times not relevant for our stay.
- Review Date: 11/15/2024
We wanted to clarify that we provide detailed directions to all our guests, including a route that doesn’t require FWD. We understand nighttime visibility can be challenging, so we always recommend following our directions closely to make the drive as smooth as possible. We're also glad communication was excellent, but we’ll definitely take your feedback about the automated messages into account to ensure they’re more tailored in the future. Thank you again for your review, and we’d love to host you again soon!

Our stay was amazing, the house is in the most perfect secluded location with stunning panoramic views of the valley. The pool and hot tub took the stay to another level as did the perfectly clear night sky watching. It’s only a 20 minute drive to downtown Palm Springs so we were able to dip in and out of the city when needed. We will definitely be coming back very soon!

Thank you for feedback, sadly our area can attract bees in the summer as they often travel far in search of water. Though we understand it can be frustrating when a few bees are enjoying the pool when you want to. To help minimize this issue, we have installed diversion pools around the property to attract them away from the main swimming area.

We loved staying at Morongo Star Ranch and being able to share the experience with our dog! The home has large windows so you can take in the beautiful view from almost any place in the home. The pool and spa were amazing. Would love to come back again.

We enjoyed our stay. The views were amazing and the house was homey. We saw all sorts of wildlife around the property. Great place to escape but close enough to all the local attractions. I would recommend to anyone and we plan to stay again!

Wasps took over the pool and made it unusable.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be to have wasps around the pool area. Due to the natural environment here in the desert, bees and wasps often travel far in search of water. To help minimize this issue, we have installed diversion pools around the property to attract them away from the main swimming area.

t was just wonderful. The house, the place, the surroundings, the pool and the hot tub. We stayed for 4 nights and we enjoyed every minute. The perfect place to be if you have the need to relax and be by yourself with no distractions. Just nature pure. We're planning to visit again.

Morongo Star Ranch is an absolute gem. My husband and I visited with our dogs for a long weekend and it was one of our favorite rentals we’ve ever had. The house has a wonderful secluded location and peaceful vibe that connects you with the land. The pool and spa is phenomenal and was a welcome oasis mid day when the temps rose. Thank you for allowing us to stay and experience this beautiful place.

One of the best staycation places I have ever visited. Everything about this place is aesthetically pleasing. Words won’t do justice to the beauty of it. You gotta see it for yourself. The best part is the pool and the hot tub which at night ,gazing over the stars feels super relaxing. If you want a peaceful getaway where you can connect with nature, this is the place to be. I read some people had a difficult time reaching there but for me it was super easy. In fact didn’t even need the manual directions provided to me by the host. The map itself takes you there. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A wonderful property with the perfect location! The home is so peaceful and relaxing! You feel very remote and secluded, yet you're only a short distance from Palm Springs and Joshua tree. I am a repeat guest and this stay was just as wonderful as the last! I will definitely be visiting again! Thanks!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The ranch gives beautiful views in all directions. The neighbors are away enough not to spoil the experience of ‘getting away’. The house is beautiful and just right. We will hopefully come back.

Loved this place! Even neater in person than the pictures show. Can’t say enough good things about the view, the house, and overall experience. I would usually never stay at the same Airbnb twice, but I think I’d go out of my way to come back here.

First time booking in this area and I must say I'm glad this one was available for our one night. Hands down one of the coolest spots we've booked on the platform. I prefer quiet and this was it. Lot is phenomenal, spa heats up super fast, and the views refreshing. Will be back!

The home was great and perfect for what I was looking for. A place away from the city and remote enough for me to focus on work and relax when I needed to. The winds at night was intense but I never felt uncomfortable. The kitchen and bathroom were clean and easy to access everything. Loved my stay!

Hi Roberta! Regarding the pool and hot tub, we regret any inconvenience you may have experienced due to the cold weather. Typically, we do not provide pool heating during the winter months, but we understand the importance of creating an exceptional experience for our guests. We made a special exception and sent you the pool heating fee, which unfortunately, it seems you did not accept. For future reference, you can heat the spa by selecting the spa button. Had you reached out during your stay, we would have been more than happy to assist.

This place is a beautiful gem in the desert. Very well maintain and the pool and hot tub pair is amazing. Our host was always responsive and even though there was a small mix up with one of the amenities they were quick to fix, which we appreciated greatly. Overall this is a great spot to get away with family and also suitable for your pup.

What a beautiful and peaceful spot. The pool and hot tub have some issues, which means we needed to message the Airbnb host anytime we wanted the hot tub turned on or the pool lights activated. There was some confusion around this at the beginning of our stay which created extra stress, but once we worked it out it was fine. Still, a bit of a hassle to have to message because the buttons at the pool were broken. That said, otherwise the stay was lovely. The house is even nicer than the photos let on, and we so enjoyed being able to stay there with our chihuahua, who even had his own bed to sleep in, left there by the hosts. They also provided extra sheets to cover the furniture if you would like your pet to be able to be on the furniture. The view from the pool was everything we hoped for, and star gazing at night was just lovely. Was a very romantic anniversary stay for my husband and I, despite the hot tub activation confusion/hassle.

This home is fantastic. There are a few standout features that make this a place we will definitely return. First…the home has the best natural light I have ever experienced in any residential environment. It’s like living in a solarium. It is fantastic. Secondly, the house is situated such that there are essentially no neighbors. It is extremely private and with exceptional 360 degree views from every window. Finally, the pool and spa are heaven. They are both soothing during the day, but the star gazing at night from the spa is exceptional. Also….the place is spotless. We will be back.

We really enjoyed our stay here! It’s on an amazing property full of wildlife and scenic beauty. The pool was hot tub temperature but it was also about 104 degrees outside so we weren’t too thrown off by it. Overall such an amazing experience and we would definitely return!

Our experience was great. The house is extremely beautiful and real cozy. Very private which we enjoyed. There are bees in the pool during the day but we had no problem sharing it with them. We recommend night swimming or relaxing in the spa underneath the stars using the 2 lanterns the hosts provide in the living room. Thank for sharing your home with us. We’ll be back Morongo Star Ranch!

We absolutely loved staying at Morongo Star Ranch! We decided to do a quick getaway for 4th of July and wanted somewhere quiet and private. Morongo Star did not disappoint! Check-in was smooth and easy! Before checking in - they did advise of bees drinking water near the pool/spa during the Spring/Summer which was not an issue for us as bees are not aggressive. We were still able to enjoy the pool/spa as well as the gas grill. Beautiful views from the property! The house also included some board games and sun hats for those hot Summer days. We look forward to staying here again!

This is the 2nd time my boyfriend & I visit this beautiful desert home. We brought my sister / brother in law this time around. We had the best time here!! It’s so peaceful. Day and night! we had a relaxing time, spent time mostly in the pool and jacuzzi . Such a perfect home to escape for the weekend! We even extended our stay one more night because we weren’t ready for the weekend to be over!! Mollie (host) was very responsive and generous! Much appreciation to the hosts!! & to this beautiful cozy desert home. Can’t wait to visit again!

We had a perfect long weekend away! The place really is it’s own beautiful paradise. The pool and spa area are tucked a bit down from the house making it all the more private with breathtaking surroundings. We had a small issue the first day and the host were extremely responsive and resolved it right away. Highly recommend to anyone looking to escape for a bit, we will hopefully have the chance to return.

Absolutely LOVED my stay at Morongo Star Ranch. The location is a perfect balance between isolation and access. With HUGE views and all the amenities. the road in is bumpy but I saw smaller 4door cars making it just fine. When I first arrived, the electronic lock pad was not operating, there was a lock box with a key inside the host was extremely communicative, and I was inside fairly quickly. The pool and spa were clean and beautiful and easy to operate. Completely private. The kitchen had everything you could need including charger boxes and pool area appropriate dishes. Overall loved this bnb and hope to return soon. In fact, I believe my exact words were “I can’t think of any reason to stay anywhere else” ”
