It feels like the end of the earth, removed from civilization.
Vast expanses. Rugged Mountains. Wild, vivid skies and stars in a sky untouched by city light.
An oasis in time. Current luxuries paying tribute to the past and to the desert landscape and lifestyle. It is a cozy, romantic house for two with a private bedroom. Extra guests can stay in the living room on the sofa bed or daybed, but we do charge for additional guests. Please contact us for details. There is a washer and dryer. The kitchen is stocked for cooking with dishes, pots and pans, utensils, linens, coffee and tea. Our aim is to give our guests a relaxing, fun experience.
Starlight Ranch is not for everyone, however. If you are looking for 5 star luxury and nightlife, you might prefer to stay in Palm Springs. If you want peace, quiet, wild desert, seclusion and amazing sunsets and stars, you've found the place. High Desert. Wonder Valley. It's magical.
A Center Stage Design Property.

Starlight Ranch a secluded gem
What a wonderful, thoughtfully decorated, isolated quiet spot. If you want Ritz-Carlton butler service go somewhere else. BUT if you love the quiet beauty of the desert, the night skies, and going back in time to a simpler age BOOK THIS HIDDEN GEM. Such a cool, atmospheric retro spot. We loved this place.

Beautiful desert house, thoughtful details
My partner and I really enjoyed our stay at Starlight Ranch! The property itself is gorgeous and has beautiful view of the sunset and sunrise. We enjoyed using the chimenea outside after sunset and watching the stars above. I loved all the details the hosts had inside the house and how beautifully decorated it was! Everything we needed to cook and enjoy our stay was already provided by the hosts Kerry and Dan. We just brought small things to cook with but everything else is kindly provided. We were very comfortable during our stay and appreciated that the hosts were available if we had any questions or concerns. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and we already plan to return and enjoy a longer stay with friends in the future. Thank you Kerry and Dan for being awesome hosts!

Great Vacational Rental
Great place to stay while visiting Joshua Tree National Park. Everything we needed to prepare our meals was in the well equipped kitchen. Very convenient to be able to do laundry. Outdoor space was great, through the weather didn't cooperate to be able to stargaze but it was certainly dark enough!

All Around Fantastic
Our (two adults and one kid) stay at Starlight Ranch was fantastic! The house is really charmingly decorated and well designed.The large property boasts stunning views of the nearby mountains and the quiet location provides a nice serine feeling of being remote without actually being all that remote - it's a quick drive to the nearby towns of 29 Palms and Joshua Tree. The kitchen came stocked with all the essentials for cooking, the wifi/internet was strong and had good bandwidth, and the house had pretty much all one could need. There were also plenty of games and activities to keep us entertained throughout our stay.

A perfect weekend in the desert
Starlight Ranch was the perfect pick for a relaxing weekend. The ranch is very remote - so much so that I found myself with some car troubles after making a wrong turn down a dirt road. The hosts kindly helped me rectify the situation and I was grateful for the help. Highly recommend!

Quirky desert ranch
One of the more unique rentals we have stayed. Loved the fact that everything on the property was set up In the perfect place. Lounge chairs to stargaze , benches to watch the sunrise and sunsets at the perfect spots. Oh and the star wars themes all around the inside. Perfect distance to J-tree national park as well.

No complaints whatsoever here. Great communication, beautiful views, all amenities worked perfectly (A/C was terrific for summer heat), check-in was easy, far enough into the desert that it's peaceful and quiet but not too far that it's hard to get groceries/supplies. We'd come back for sure!

Super comfortable desert house
We were looking for a relaxing getaway in the desert to warm up from this exceptionally long winter - Starlight Ranch delivered. It is out in Wonder Valley on a dirt road - many of the properties in this area are on a few acres, so scattered here and there, and many are abandoned, so we weren't sure what we were in for when we got there - but this little house is great! The outside is a typical desert yard (the wind blows a lot in this area, so don't be put off by the seemingly "worn" appearance). The property is taken care of and the owners have worked with the weather and landscaping to give you little areas on the outside to relax and have privacy and wind break. The view to the north is almost unobstructed to the mountains and the night sky is amazing - so many stars! We went to the Joshua Tree Park in the mornings before it got too hot & then spent afternoons at the house - either on the lounges in the sun, or in the cowboy pool, or in the outdoor bathtub and bar area. The house is like home - very cool vibe with just the right amount of Star Wars nerdiness :-) Comfortable beds, couch/chairs, dining table and kitchen - everything you need and more. Google music super easy to use and enjoy and games/books, etc. - perfect place to unplug from the world, but internet was strong when we wanted it. The host was very responsive and let us know when maintenance people were on their way (they clean out the cowboy pool for you) so we knew what was going on. The town of 29 Palms nearby has everything you need for your stay. Really liked this little place! Definitely recommend!

We loved our time at the Starlight Ranch. It had everything we needed to unwind and enjoy a peaceful time in the desert. Everything is so beautifully decorated and clean. All the amenities were perfect for our stay, with the cowboy pool being our favorite! It was so hot during our stay that we would hang out in the pool and enjoy the serenity. We will definitely stay again!

Nice stay!
Wife and I stayed here for our 5th anniversary and had a great time. Everything was wonderful and the only downside was a few of the neighbors houses were run down, and found some dead spiders in the shower. The outside tub and cowboy bath were amazing. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed. I especially liked the record player and record collection. Would visit again!

Amazing getaway!
The property was so well apponinted, we had everything we needed to cook dinners outside, enjoy sunrises and sunsets, and to lie in the sun and enjoy peace and quiet that abounds in the area. We took advantage of Joshua Tree Park and did some hiking, seeing amazing rock formations, breathing in the fresh sur, and having to click to cater to! Thanks for letting us know what would be available- it made our stay so enjoyable!!

Off the Beaten Path perfect!
Starlight Ranch is far enough out to be super secluded but not so far out you feel unsafe. The house is well kept and decorated. It looks like some things were quickly done and are starting to show wear. The water pump was something to get used to, but no complaints. The amenities were exactly what we needed. The fire pit under the stars is magnificent. The cowboy tub was lovely, but the other smaller soaking tub water didn't work. Amboy is a quick drive back to 29 palms, and you can take it all the way to Mojave Desert Preserve. Kerry was quick to respond with answers, and the directions to get there and to check-in were simple and easy to follow. A must stay!

Baby moon in the desert
Beautiful secluded property outside of Twentynine Palms. Even though it was a very hot weekend & I was 8 months pregnant we still had a lovely time. We were able to see all major attractions but my favorite thing was watching meteors from the pool. I also adored the record collection & dancing under the stars together was something Iā€™ll never forget. Perfect place to stay for privacy.

Perfect Desert Escape
This place is my new favorite escape destination. The cowboy pool and the outside bath tub are one of the most magical experiences. When we were there a heat wave of 116Ā° every day took hold. Their ac held up, was quiet and never made it feel like we were just sweating it out until the sun set. The milky way overhead during the darkest of night with a telescope is a life changing experience. Lounge chairs under the stars are a must. We didn't get to experience a fire, but now I want to come back in the winter and do winter desert escape around the fire pit. This place is pretty magical.
