The best time!
I absolutely loved staying here. The host was attentive and so kind. I will definitely be staying here on a regular basis! If you are considering booking here, I would! I got very lucky to come out on a partially cloudy night because the stars were apparent, and I can’t imagine being there on a night with clear skies. 💕

The Tiny House in the Mojave Desert was one of the most fun and unique stays that I have had in a long time. The House is indeed a "tiny house" but one that has everything that you need. The environment around Sandy Valley is stunningly beautiful and being on the ranch is a great "get away from it all" trip with an area for a campfire and/or a grill, under a dark sky with a billion stars. Very unique and cozy place to stay in an outdoor location that you'll remember forever!

This was such a fun little weekend getaway for us from Vegas. A quick 50 minute drive that took us to a completely different place. We went on an amazing horseback riding tour, ate some delicious meals, and just enjoyed being on the ranch. The tiny house was perfect for the weekend!

Rancho relaxo
The ranch was very nice. Loved seeing all the animals every day. Everything was clean, and we appreciated the board games and activities that were provided. It was a good recharge after being on the vegas strip

Open Space!
Exactly as advertised! We had a great overnight stay, enjoyed visiting the animals after sunrise, and welcomed the hearty ranch-style breakfast provided by Yuri. Worth the $20 per plate!

I needed a place for a remote work project and this place was ideally located. This was a quaint, cozy and slightly rustic little place. But I don't know if I've ever slept so well. The loft bed was super comfortable and the little windows on both sides allowed for a perfect crisp cross breeze. The 'living' area provided everything I needed but again, a bit rustic. But I was always comfortable. The ranch property was ... a ranch. But the handful of interactions with the ranch staff was always friendly. But know, this little place is remote. So local shopping & dining in 'town' really isn't an option. I brought most of my own food/drink so didn't have an opportunity to test the dining they offer. I'd definitely return for another visit.

Rustic simplicity
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was clean and well maintained. You do have to come with the understanding that being as secluded as it is it’s going to be a little rustic, example: to lock the bathroom door you put a piece of wood across the door, that is the type of stay we were looking for so we had a great time.

I wasn’t able to stay due to my dog not being able to climb the ladder. I don’t think it had a tv? The couch if you couldn’t access the ladder is very small and inadequate for sleeping. It’s cute though if you want to look into tiny living.

Nice desert stopover
This place was very quiet and the few people we met were friendly. The tiny house is comfortable but the sleeping area gets quite hot and the air conditioner is a bit loud. You need to call to arrange meals in advance, but the food is great if you do. We enjoyed walking around and seeing the farm animals.

We stayed just one night before going to the Mojave National Preserve. Rob is a gracious host and The Hummingbird is a great miniature house. We enjoyed a stunning sunset and a fire. We also enjoyed the animals and a lovely breakfast.

A lovely little spot
My husband and I were in the area to visit the deserts and parks. The Hummingbird was a lovely way to have a cozy place to sleep, as well as sit by a nice fire at night and watch the stars come out. It can get warm up in the loft bed, so be aware of that if you’re staying during the summer. The kitchen staff was very nice and we enjoyed both breakfast and dinner at the ranch house. I enjoyed taking some early morning walks around and saying hi to the animals.

A little to rustic for us but we tried😊
We want to do a little outdoorsy fun the tiny house was a little too tiny my hubby is 6”4 and he just didn’t fit. lol We didn’t end up staying unfortunately but walked around a bit and met some of the animals and enjoyed the scenic drive in! (Excluding the interesting flags on certain property!) All in all a awesome place for the right kind of people!!😉

A great get away with a bonus
My partner and I, our daughter (5), and our young dog stayed at the Hummingbird for our first visit to Sandy Valley Ranch. We arrived at 3 pm for check-in. It was hot (to be expected) but the desert cools down fast as soon as the sun goes down. There's a small AC unit that cools the house down quickly. The spot is simple and sweet. Birds everywhere (including nesting in the awning of the house which my daughter loved). The house is right near the road which is not busy at all- but we didn't feel comfortable letting our dog run loose. We immediately felt welcome wandering around the ranch. There are goats, horses, free-range pigs, chickens, and some nice, friendly working dogs (a chihuahua, a heeler, and a german shepherd). The people working at the ranch were very welcoming. The fold-out couch is very small but firm. The little loft is so cozy and offers a great view of the sunrise. The little hummingbird stain glass window was a favorite. They have everything you need including spices and a coffee maker. We didn't need wi-fi so didn't use it and had no problem getting cell coverage. The shower is adequate but not something to look forward to. We will be back, but with the three of us plus the dog, we might go ahead and book the next-door wagon. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Nice stay and wonderful people
Perfect welcome upon arrival. Host was there upon driving up to Hummingbird Tiny House and gave me key formation needed for an enjoyable stay. The house felt roomy and very comfortable. I did not have a dinner reservation but spoke with cook and got a very nice meal designed for a vegetarian. The evening dark sky was great for viewing stars and planets. Hope to return in early Fall for at least two days.

EXCEPTIONAL!
I can't recommend this place more highly. It was so much better than the pictures. Adorable tiny house on a sprawling beautiful horse farm. It was the perfect place for me to stay and I feel lucky to have found it, especially so last minute! Rob was communicative and hospitable - I felt very safe as a young woman staying alone. The space was clean, well decorated and even had a cool old school radio. I loved it. I'll totally be back, and want to try every place on the property!

Picture Perfect Tiny House!
I've always wanted to stay in a tiny house and this little place was perfect! Surrounded by the rugged Nevada mountains, Sandy Valley Ranch is a great place for a getaway. The house is *tiny*, so it is perfect for 2 people. I highly recommend planning to arrive before dark and following the directions from the staff- not your GPS- to find the ranch. The ranch staff was very helpful and they provide a great breakfast!

Cute little place on quiet ranch
Friendly staff and a very quiet ranch. This tiny house was clean and cozy, a great place to watch the stars and get away from the bustle of Vegas. Breakfast at the ranch was wonderful and a worthwhile addition. We also took a private horseback ride at sunset with Frosty. Great ride on their beautiful grounds.

Beautiful spot to spend the night
What a charming, cozy little cabin to stay in overnight. Very clean and jut as the pictures made it out to be! From stargazing on the deck to cooking in the kitchen, it was a great spot on the ranch.
