What we love about this stay
Set your alarm for the first hint of light and get yourself onto the outdoor bed before sunrise — the way the desert sky shifts from violet to gold over those boulders is the single best moment here, and you'll have it in complete silence. Later, skip the urge to fill every hour with activities. The drive-in theater with the vintage cars is genuinely charming after dark, but pair it with time in the hot tub afterward, not before — your body temperature drops perfectly for sleep. Bring layers; desert nights bite harder than you'd expect. The real discovery is wandering into those 4,000 bordering acres on foot, no agenda, mid-afternoon when the light turns the rock faces amber. That's when Mod West stops feeling like a curated playground and starts feeling like somewhere untouched.

It’s not just a place to stay while visiting Joshua tree proper, it’s THE destination! <br/>Anything and everything you want to do while out in desert has been thought of and executed to perfection! We enjoyed every part of the grounds, which was so fun to explore. There were plenty of cool off spaces for the daytime, and at night the temperature was perfect to enjoy drinks by one of the many fire pits/fire places. <br/>I really couldn’t describe this place and do it justice in the limited characters I have to leave this review. It’s perfect, and will be 100% staying again in the future. Don’t hesitate, don’t question if it’s worth it, just book it and have the best desert vacation of your life.

As others have mentioned this was quite the experience! The owners of this place did a really good job of mixing old vintage vibes with newer aesthetics. It was as much of an adult playground as a kids playground. Our family of four including myself my husband and children ages (3&6) had a really great time. There was no TV so we really were able spend quality time playing old vinyl records, making art, lounging at the pool and just running around looking at all the neat stuff on site. Definitely a trip to remember and we would really love to come back with more family :)

We had an unforgettable time at the Mod West Ranch! There are endless things to do that you truly cannot find anywhere else. We had absolutely zero complaints and would come back here in a heartbeat! We spent our entire time at the property because we did not want to miss out on everything. The home itself was wonderful and had comfortable beds, a large bathroom with an amazing view, and a great kitchen with many items. The pictures are wonderful but do not do justice to how amazing this place is. We loved knowing it was family owned and seeing all of the hard work that went into creating such an amazing space with the most thoughtful personalized details that they now share with others. Thank you for an amazing stay!
