While there are fabulous things to do and see all around us, if your desire is for silence, solitude and reflection, you never have to leave the grounds to enjoy a complete high desert experience.
Grab your camera and snap a colorful bird bathing at our waterfall. Meander along gentle trails, climb up into the hills or boulder and cactus garden behind the casita.
Explore our ancient seasonal wash, a treasure-trove for rock hounds...and there is nothing more heartstopping than a moonrise over the mesas.

If you're up for some live music and country cooking, take a 5-minute drive down the road to PAPPY AND HARRIET'S PIONEERTOWN PALACE. One reviewer said, "The scene is amazing: old desert folk, bikers, musicians (known and indie), Angelenos w/out attitude, country folk, all together to share food, booze, desert views and live music. You can't have a bad time here." |
