The Barn

Our barn features an open breezeway, hand-built saloon-style bar, open lounge or photobooth room, charming pot-belly stove, hanging market lights, and 30ft x 30ft dance floor. This is a real 7-stall barn that still has a functioning horse tack room. Although the barn no longer houses horses, it now houses the creative space for unique and one-of-a-kind experiences. Upstairs is a private 2-bedroom apartment. At night, the barn literally GLOWS with a special, intimate ambiance thanks to its numerous market lights.

The Lawn

Our lawn features a wide-open grass setting surrounded by flower gardens, horse pastures, and rustic white fencing. Numerous Cottonwood, olive, and pepper trees encompass and drape the lawn. Vibrant, green tree foliage naturally serves as the perfect backdrop for any photo. Golden hour leads to the most breathtaking views of desert sunsets while dusk gives way to the twinkling of desert stars.

Our Grand Oak Tree

Located central to the ranch is our grand oak tree, estimated to be hundreds of years old. With a wrap-around deck, this location is great for cocktails or a casual dinner. Pull up a chair and grab a cool beverage, as this is the best place to relax and enjoy the views of the ranch when the sun dips and the shadows grow long. On warm days, this shady place is a great spot to cool down and catch the breeze. At night time, the tree magically comes "alive" with hundreds of market lights attached to its gigantic, sweeping branches.

We offer TWO separate suites that BOTH offer two bedrooms, a kitchen, private bathroom, wood-burning masonry fireplaces, central AC/heat, complimentary WiFi access and other amenities to be your home away from home!

Spirit

Spirit is a 25-year-old black Tennessee Walking Horse, living out his lazy retirement on our beautiful ranch. His favorite pasture is located adjacent to the lawn, where he's front row/center to everything. Don't be surprised if he "photobombs" your photo, as he can never pass up an opportunity to be in a photo or take a selfie with any guest of the ranch. In case you were wondering, carrots are his favorite treat and he WILL pose for them.

Ranch Views

Golden hour is BEST on The Ranch! With the most beautiful desert landscape between Temecula and Joshua Tree, our ranch is literally a photographer's paradise. The granite boulders of the Jojoba Hills creates a jaw-dropping backdrop and is peppered with cacti and natural desert flora. Looming in the distance is the blue Palomar mountain range. Every spring beginning in March, the ranch awakens anew with desert wildflowers that linger well through June. In recent suberbloom years, our ranch has had its own bloom of orange California poppies. Fall brings cooler temperatures and yellow leaves, while winter brings the most phenomenal water-color desert sunsets.
