Secluded 20 Acre Retreat with Guest House and Pool/Spa

Rancho Loco is perfect for your desert hideaway home away from home. Come rain or shine, Rancho Loco has something beautiful to offer. When it's sunny, drinks by the pool, quiet time on the veranda with a book, watching the sun rise or set and enjoying some good barbecue with friends and family. When it's stormy – get cozy on the couch with a fire crackling away, a home cooked meal with a glass of wine while you watch the clouds roll in over the dramatic landscape, framed by the huge picture windows. Rancho Loco also affords extra privacy with separate living quarters, the cozy & bright main house and the open & airy studio.

Located on its own secluded 20 acres, minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, Rancho Loco offers 360º views with over 50 Joshua trees, yuccas and native desert foliage all on the property. Situated between the two houses is a salt water swimming pool and separate Hot Tub with an observation deck, perfect for sunset viewing, outdoor dining, and maybe even a skinny dip under the stars. Rancho Loco is a rustic modern take of a 1920s ranch house updated to today's standards including solar power as its primary source of energy and water drawn from a private on-site well!

Rancho Loco is a great affordable base no matter what your interests are – rock-climbing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, model rocket launching [our fave], novel writing or just relaxing by the pool. So please do not hesitate to contact us if you want to get away and visit this magical California vacation home location.

The Perfect Property
Marcus’ property is perfect for a vacation. My friends and I stayed at the house for a weekend over Easter and were so happy with everything. There’s plenty of room between the two houses for everyone to have enough space but not feel separated. The property itself has amazing views and is close enough to town but far enough away to feel the true Joshua tree experience.

A great secluded getaway
We (two families 4 adults and 3 kiddos) had a blast staying, and it was a super convenient spot for our Joshua Tree exploring. Had a small issue with the heater at check in (probably user error tbh) but the property management replied immediately and helped all they could - and we got it sorted out right away. This spot had everything we needed for meals and to sleep easy. Fav memory of the weekend: Grilling up some bbq as the kids enjoy the pool and the sun setting on the desert, while the Johnny Cash vinyl plays on the outdoor speakers - followed by a star gazing s’mores session around the fire pit. 👍👍

Peaceful Bliss
Our family of five really enjoyed our time at the ranch. Amazing views out each window and quiet peaceful solace. We wanted for nothing. Enjoyed cooking on the grill, walking the property and listening to the lovely record collection. Felt far away from everything yet close to what we needed. We loved our vacation and are already planning to return.

Awesome spot near JT
This was a perfect spot for our family visit to Joshua tree. Close to the park, peace and quiet at night. Kids loved the casita. The house was clean, great decor, and the kitchen well stocked. The water was hot and water pressure was great. Shooting star show from the spa was an unexpected bonus! A couple of polar plunges into pool even happened. The kids were sad that they didn’t spy the desert tortoise, so we’ll have to come back when they aren’t hibernating:)

Desert Oasis in the Summer
We love this property in the summer and have traveled here the last four summers for a relaxing getaway. The house is comfortable with a good bed and a well supplied kitchen. The owner is upgrading to AC but we have been comfortable in the past with just the swamp cooler. For us the highlight is enjoying morning hikes in Joshua Tree National Park (only 20 minutes away), and then lazing in the pool in the afternoons. The property is quiet and secluded on unpaved back roads with almost no traffic going by. When we are not cooking for ourselves, we have developed our favorite places to eat in town including Natural Sisters for breakfast, Two Guys Pies for pizza, and La Copine for dinner takeout. We highly recommend this desert oasis for a fun summer getaway.
