Welcome to Penny Lane Ranch, a unique, 5 acre remote, peaceful desert oasis experience. The property is located 25 min. away from Palm Springs, 40 min. from Joshua Tree Nat'l Park and 35 min. from the Coachella Festival grounds! The Penny Lane Ranch was created as a place to unwind and relax in a calm, stylish and transformative space including a Heated Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub, and informal Pickleball, with 360 degree breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and star-filled night skies.
Penny Lane features two independent dwellings, 5 acres with a heated saltwater pool and hot tub and a non-professional, informal Pickleball Court for casual, relaxed family play, day or night!
HOUSE + CASITA The main house is a two bed, two bath Modern Prefab Manufactured home. A beautiful separate 3rd bedroom Casita dwelling with a recently added en-suite bathroom welcomes you as well! The main house has a primary bedroom with a KING size bed and ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom also has a KING size bed and 2nd bathroom access in the hall. A stunning, on-trend, mid-century modern/Desert Boho Vibe, large open concept living room, dining room and kitchen allows guests to relax and unwind with large windows bringing natural light and views of the stunning property and surrounding mountains.
OUTDOOR RELAXATION A large raised outdoor deck with cool misting systems for the warm summer months, is the perfect place to relax outdoors and take in the stunning scenery, landscaping and sunsets. A BBQ grill on the deck and a picnic table out on the property allows for dining al fresco. You can also enjoy a gas fire pit down near the pool area for those nights of star-gazing. The poolside pergola with a cool misting system for the hot summer months, and 4 comfortable teak chaise lounges, allows for a relaxing retreat.
POOL + HOT TUB The *Heated luxury Saltwater Pool and Hot Tub (*Heating fees apply), provide for a cool and comfortable escape from the heat in the summer months and a warm comfortable pool during the chilly winter months, with a shallow ledge at one end and a hot tub at the other. The pool is located a short walking distance from the main house. It was designed that way in order to take in the extraordinary 360 degree view of the mountains, skyline and landscaping, so be sure to put your flip-flops on before making your way down to the pool area.
*Please Note: Due to the high cost of propane in our area, we are forced to charge a fee of $30 each per night for pool and hot tub heating, $60 per night for both. When you pay for pool heating, the pool temperature will be set remotely to a pleasant 88 degrees. Also, please be sure to browse and review the photos of our pool and ask any questions ahead of time, before booking. Our pool passes all code requirements for the County of Riverside, however, for aesthetic purposes, we intentionally designed the pool without hand railings or fencing. The pool may not be ideal for elderly persons with mobility issues, or for very young children, unless they are supervised at all times.
PICKLEBALL! For the casual Pickleball enthusiasts, head out to our party platform in front of our Event Barn and enjoy playing a relaxed and informal game during the day, or turn on the Event Barn’s party lights so you can enjoy some fun, evening play!
** Please note: This is not a professionally designed and built pickleball court, and is only meant for casual, informal play.
POOLSIDE GAS FIRE PIT: We now have a propane gas powered Fire Pit Table down near the pool. Feel free to move the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit, bring your favorite beverage down and relax by the flames. Please note: moving the Fire Pit to another location on the property is not allowed. Thank you for your consideration in the matter.
PETS ALLOWED! We Love Dogs! These are our rules: • Dogs must be under 40 lbs, max 2 dogs. • No unauthorized pets—this will cancel your reservation. • Dogs must be crated when left alone in the house and are not allowed on furniture or beds. • Guests are required to clean up pet feces on the property. • It’s important to note that property is not fenced in, it’s a wide and expansive space, so if your pet is not trained to stay nearby, then we recommend any time your pet is outside on the property, it be leashed at all times. • Another concern, is that nearby wildlife may not be conducive to your household pet’s safety. Wildlife such as coyotes, mountain lions, snakes and other small predators may be nearby, so supervising your pet at all times while outside is highly recommended. • Service animals must be disclosed in advance.

Juanita and her colleagues were very good guests. They followed our rules and took care of our property.
Had a great time at this property. The pool was smaller than we thought but surprised us with the depth! Had a great time in the pool, and hanging out inside the house. Would definitely stay here again. The host was always very responsive to any questions we had.
