The Ranger Station was everything we'd hoped for and more! 6 of us wanted a Joshua Tree trip where we could never leave the property and stay entertained the whole time and this place definitely delivered. There's SO much to do. The club house is unbeatable as a hang out spot, the house itself is very comfortable, and the property is spacious with gorgeous views. I'd absolutely stay here again!

The place was nice and quiet, there is so much to do and so much space inside and outside, the game room was a nice touch. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed to cook a meal right in the kitchen.

The ranger station home was absolutely amazing. The highlight of our trip was definitely the club house and jaccuzi. The club house was so much fun. A pool table would be nice to have in there but overall our stay was amazing. The host was quick to response. The home is about 20 min drive to pioneertown which i highly recommend visiting. The home is also dog friendly which was perfect for us since we took our small fur babies with us. Highly recommend booking the ranger station home
