About this property
Desert Ranch w/ Hot Tub, Mini Golf, Movie Theatre, Cowboy Pool, Private 2 Acres
Attention stargazers, movie buffs, mini golfers and desert dreamers! Welcome to Moonset Ranch! Your desert retreat with a mini golf course, hot tub, cowboy pool, and movie theater. Relax and unwind under gorgeous sunsets, peaceful desert landscapes, endless starry skies and of course the moon. Minutes from The Integratron, Giant Rock and La Copine, and 25 minutes from downtown Joshua Tree. Perfect for families, friend groups and adventurers who want a getaway that's anything but ordinary.
THE SPACE
Moonset Ranch is a private, two-cabin desert escape for up to 10 guests. With two separate cabins, everyone can enjoy the ranch together while still having their own private space. Traveling with grandparents and kids? The separate cabins make it easy for everyone to be close without having to share the same sleeping schedule. This is especially helpful when the kids are up early!
The main cabin is a 650-square-foot, single-level house. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a full kitchen, and a back patio with a propane grill. Both bedrooms feature queen beds with soft linens, bedside lamps with USB charging, room-darkening shades, and heat/AC. The living room has a 55” OLED TV with Roku for streaming, a record player with a collection of records, board games and a large couch. An air mattress provides additional sleeping space, allowing the house to accommodate up to 6 guests.
The guest house is a 425-square-foot, single-level cabin. It has 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a kitchen and a living room that transforms into your private movie theater. The theater features a huge 105” screen, surround sound, a Blu-ray player with 150+ Blu-rays and an Apple TV for streaming. The bedroom features a king bed with soft linens, bedside lamps with USB charging, room-darkening shades and heat/AC. A dedicated workspace includes a sit/stand desk, monitor, mouse and keyboard for remote work. The daybed in the living area pulls out to a king-size bed, allowing the home to sleep up to 4.
You'll have the entirety of both cabins, the hot tub, the cowboy pool, the mini golf course and 2.5 fully fenced acres all to yourself. With wide-open desert skies and minimal light pollution, the ranch is especially beautiful at sunset and after dark.

My property is 15 minutes from Yucca Valley and 25 minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park Welcome Center. Access to the house is via a dirt road but it is only about a half mile off a very nicely paved road. Except in pouring rain or snow, any type of car should have no trouble accessing the property.

The property was excellent for our stay. Enough space for all humans, great kitchens and comfy beds. Dog loved the fenced in yard, and the mini-golf course was so fun!
We had a great stay at this home - the mini golf was a major hit with adults and kids alike, beds were comfy, kitchen was well-equipped, and the movie projector was a treat. A little further from stores/parks, but worth it and could get to places within 20-30 minutes. Would stay here again on a return to Joshua Tree

This place is a hidden gem! Entire property is beautiful and set up for total relaxation.
Amazing house. Owner kept in contact, made sure our stay was pleasant. This is our second time at the home and it gets better everytime. Cant wait for our third stay. Mini golf was so much fun we played several times. Thank you for letting us stay again!
House was as promised: quiet, beautiful views, starry skies and just what we wanted for our Joshua Tree adventure. While we didn’t use the mini golf course it did make for super photos! It was easy to get to civilization within 20-30 minutes if you wanted it. And the park was easily accessible. Chris was very responsive and eager to share any recommendations for food or hikes. If you’re looking for quiet comfort and some open night sky this is the place
We stayed for three nights to explore Joshua Tree and the surrounding areas. The property was perfect for our family of four. Hot tub was a highlight, and the kitchen was great.
The perfect weekend escape with absolutely immaculate vibes. The view from the hot tub is other-worldly and the cabin itself is incredibly cozy, comfortable, and a blast to relax in. We will be back!!
As long term vacation rental owners and VRBO guests, we appreciate attention to detail and great customer service. Chris has done an amazing job with this property. My Wife and I enjoyed our stay and will be annual repeat guests. Thank you Chris.
House is cozy and clean. Decorated with such an eye for mid-century, modern desert vibe; we instantly felt at home and it had all the accommodations listed to make our stay easy and comfortable. Easy drive to west entrance of Joshua Tree Nat’l Park. Would definitely stay again!
A great stay in the desert. We loved the Jacuzzi under the stars and the room for our dog to run safely. If you're there in the winter I recommend some fuzzy socks or slippers because the floor is cold! But otherwise very cozy and fun.
Was just what was needed for reason we were there; 2 Adults *friends stayed in house. Place was clean, easy check in, great communication. Only thing is the wifi is not great constantly buffered couldn't watch anything and hardly could communicate out while at house, plus no cell reception. *T-Mobile & At&t.
First time using VRBO and this was a great way to start it off. Chris's property was spacious, comfy, clean, and serene. This time of year (late winter/early spring) Landers is super windy, but other than the weather doing its thing we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hot tub and kitchen were our fave parts - all the amenities top notch and a communicative host to boot!
Super nice spot, had a cozy vibe while also having plenty of space. Hot tub was great and allowed for some relaxing. Following the instructions made it really easy and we spent barely any time in dirt roads to get to it. I recommend following those and not your gps. The area itself is a neighborhood, so there's plenty of people around. We didn't care for the neighbors 4x4 and dog noise, but we had no issues later in the day. All in all a great place.
Was looking for some fresh air & time away from constant construction noise at my house in San Diego. This place checked all the boxes! Quiet, clean and well stocked. View from the hot tub at sunset was fabulous (also appreciated the cleanliness of the hot tub). Fencing around the property was secure - I brought my two dogs and they had fun exploring/running free during the day. The record player worked - great touch! Accessing the property does involve some sandy roads but I had no issue getting around (was kinda fun, in fact & I do not have four wheel drive). I’d stay again!
Stay was great and accommodations were good but the spa wasn’t ready for us to use on our first night. The pool technician was late and arrived once we had already arrived. Then when we got in the water smelled and was cloudy. Technician had to return and drain and refill spa so night 1 was a no go on the spa. Next night it was great!!! Beautiful sunsets and views.
Wonderful, quiet place to enjoy the desert. The accommodations were comfortable and well-equipped. We also appreciated the hot tub, home theatre, and mini-golf course. Would stay here again!
Great property! Communication was very easy and prompt. Photos accurately portrayed property. We had spent most of our time in the main house which fit the 6 of us comfortably. The comforter and bedsheets from Rest were definitely a plus! We liked them so much that we also purchased a set.Would recommend.
It was perfect! Unfortunately we were there for major rains, but one night it did clear some and we got to see the stars! The house fit our needs perfectly for a group of 9! Highly recommend!!
