Things to Do in the Desert
Joshua Tree Nat'l Park
Deemed the most beautiful place in California, JTNP is a national treasure. Make sure you’re there at sunset and don’t forget to see the Cholla Cactus Garden, the Ocatilla Orchard and Cap Rock, made famous by Gram Parsons
Live Music
Our closest neighbor for over 77 years, Pappy & Harriet’s is known for grilling over Mesquite hardwood and hosting incredible musical talent on stage. Beer flows like water and the ribs are all time.
Hiking
Just a few minutes from PTM, the Pioneertown Mountains Preserve is great for hiking and horse-riding. Trails extend in every direction. Check out the Chemehuevi petroglyphs.
Integratron
A sound bath, said to be built on a leyline. Designed by Ufologist George Van Tassel, who claimed the cupola was capable of rejuvenation, anti-gravity and time travel. Located nearby in Landers. Make a reservation.
Shopping
Right down the hill in Yucca Valley are plenty of locally owned shops for antiques, vintage clothing, homegoods, and more. The End, Acme Home, and Desierto Alto are some of our favorites. We'll tell you about more when you get here.
Eating & Drinking
Grab Mexican food at The Red Dog Saloon or BBQ at Pappy's, both right outside your door in Pioneertown. If you're looking for more of a California culinary experience, venture over to La Copine Kitchen in Flamingo Heights. There's plenty of other special spots here in the desert, just ask us if you need a recommendation.
Yoga
Cedar and Sage Wellness Studio in Yucca Valley offers yoga classes every day, plus pilates and sound baths.
Horseback Riding
If you want to go full cowboy while staying with us, head to Knob Hill Ranch, Crazy Horse Ranch, or Coyote Ridge Stable, all nearby.
Day Trips
Amboy Crater, Salvation Mountain, The Salton Sea, and Palm Springs are all within a few hours drive. The drives are scenic, as you might expect.
