25% off 7-night stay$$✨1/2 Acre Heated Pool/Spa* 2 King beds🛌🛌 Bunk Queens👑

Escape to this 3-bedroom mid-century ranch style house that sleeps 6🏘️

*2 King Beds 🛌🛌
*1 Queen Bunk Bed which is 2 Queen Mattresses 🛌🛌

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

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 🌜💦. Inside, the décor is a mix of cowboy and bohemian styles—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🛏️🎸


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.

During the colder months there will be a charge to heat the pool from $35 to $50 per day assessed and will be billed once the dates have been booked.

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 🍽️🎶. The treasure hunt continues with vintage and boutique shops scattered along Highway 62, each with its own story to tell 🛍️🌞.

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 control—modern conveniences that never overshadow the rustic charm 🔑🌵

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 ☕🌅. 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 🏊‍♂️🔥.

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 🌌✨. 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 🚀🌌

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 rental—it's a gateway to experiences that stick with you, long after the desert dust has settled on your boots. 🌄🍃

Joshua Tree NP and Palm Springs
This house was great, especially the backyard oasis. We were a group of four (two couples 60+) who spent four days alternating between hiking Joshua Tree and exploring the Palm Springs area. While it was a drive to get to each, the house was conveniently located in the middle. We loved having the hot tub to come home to every afternoon. The star gazing in the backyard was also cool. Not dark enough to see the defined Milky Way, but still amazing. We highly recommend Pappy and Harriet’s, as well as The Tiny Pony and the Snake Bite Roadhouse.

We had a wonderful week-long stay at Hidden Gold. So sorry to leave. The pictures are accurate, but they can’t tell you what a great vibe it has. The patio/pool was our go-to area, and then back inside was easy, comfortable and welcoming. On a very nice, quiet street, but close enough to town and outdoor activities. Highly recommend. Thank you, Monica and Skip. :)

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!

Backyard oasis near Joshua Tree
We stayed a week to hike in Joshua Tree. Property was clean, well maintained and owners were excellent at communication. Neighboorhood is quiet and felt very safe and family oriented. The backyard was a hit with the kids due to the pool and firepit. My husband and I enjoyed relaxing in the spa after hiking while the kids swam. The small fee to heat the pool all week was definitely worth it. The house was well stocked with everything we needed so other than a trip to the grocery store to get food we were set. There some nice restraunts around the area as well for nights we did not want to cook. Highly recommend.

Truly a magical place to stay! Unbelievably spotless, comfy beds with luxurious sheets, beautiful interior design & amazing backyard for sure made our stay unforgettable. The kitchen is well-packed and has everything you need to cook. As a person with OCD, those little things like the notes on the switches, on the appliances, and the detailed house guide tell me how much the owner put in effort to ensure our stay is smooth. Skip is super responsive & communicative on the other hand, so surely worry-free on booking this place. No doubt that I would be more than happy to give a 10 if possible out of just 5 stars.
