Perfect spot for a Pioneer Town visit!

Great house in an amazing location. Short walk to Pappy and Harriet’s if seeing a show. Our group was 4 girls and it was perfect! Can sleep up to 6 though.

The best place in Pioneertown. Close to everything but set back enough to make it feel like you’re all alone. Christina was incredible about communication and everything was as advertised or better. Will be back for sure.

Amazing Three Day Getaway!

Super convenient spot to not only walk down to Pappy and Harriet's for a show, but also to go exploring BLM land close by, as well as Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, and everything else the desert has to offer. Good food in every direction - La Copine was worth the wait, but make sure to put your name down at Pappy's maybe 45 minutes to an hour before you want to eat. House was perfect and the gated yard made us feel more at ease having a little dog. Would go back again!

Long weekend for concerts at Pappy & Harriet's

Rancho Pionera was awesome. Christina was the perfect host, never an issue with communication. When we arrived, instructins were on point and had no issues getting into the house. It was exactly as advertised. Would definitly recommend to friends and will stay there again if given the chance.

Perfect Getaway

We had a lovely 3 night stay at this Pioneer Town home. It really is walking distance to Pappy and Harriets which was a plus for us as we love live music. It was great to walk there and back under a very starry sky. The home was comfortable for hanging out and the property is private and gives you a great sense of the expansiveness of the desert. It is close to both Pioneer Preserve and Joshua Tree, both of which we enjoyed hiking in. The managers were....awesome....easy peasy. Looking forward to our next visit!

Great space, perfect for shows at Pappys

Everything was nice and stylish, host was responsive. Master bed was uncomfortable and master bathroom looked like it needed a deep clean (hair and dust in corners, dusty blinds, etc) but everything worked well and the space was overall clean and stylish.

Will come back

Xtina was definitely a great host. Very prompt and polite and helpful. The only cons were that the internet was not good at all (sadly, my wife had to work a half-day on Friday, otherwise we would not have minded at all), and there is an annoying floodlight in the back that won't turn off at night that partially pollutes some of the beautiful stars. But other than that, it was perfect. About a ten-minute walk straight down the road to Pappy's (not 5), a huge backyard, sweet hot tub, nice outdoor space, and the house had everything you need. Super quiet too! Will definitely come back.

Family with wonderful vacation

Due to Covid-19, our family and friends got tired of being in the city but this is the perfect place to stay with nature. This is very clean and nice house than expectation, we all loved to stay and had a lot of fun. And it is very dark to see lots of stars at night. I wanted to come back this place again to refresh.

Beautiful Desert Hideaway

This home is beautiful, comfortable, clean, and has a great location if you want to feel like you’re away from it all! My family really enjoyed our stay, including the new hot tub and amazing views of Joshua Trees, gorgeous rock formations, wildlife, sunsets, and stars. We loved walking to Pappy & Harriet’s to eat & drink. Our beds were comfy and the huge TV was a hit with the kids. We stayed here during COVID pandemic and it was clean and we felt very safe. We got in easily and Xtina was quick to respond when we had questions. It was a great location for visiting Joshua Tree National Park and visiting with family in Palm Springs. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

Quaint, clean, and rustic

Great VRBO! Totally accurate and great communication with Xtina, the property manager! We loved how close it was to Local restaurants and enjoyed the special touches like having a guest book to sign! Only constructive feedback, would be the couches were uncomfortable to sit on for longer periods of time (say, a movie) but a minor detail in an overall exciting, and magical weekend!

Relaxing getaway under the desert stars!

This place is amazing! The house is clean, fresh and spacious. The beds were super comfortable and the common areas were very relaxing. The outdoors space is huge and has nice dip pool, it's also so calming to sit back and see the stars at night. Xtina always answered my messages quickly, which I truly appreciate in a host. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect combo of relaxing and fun

We came to stay at Xtina's property as 3 couples, and it was such an excellent fit. The kitchen was fantastic and met all our needs, and the cowboy pool kept us cool during the heat wave. The beds are feather soft, and we were beyond comfortable. This is a great property.
