About this property

Ohana Ranch: Family fun! Themed bedrooms, hot tub, cowboy pool, near JT Park

Don’t quite feel like being in the middle of nowhere but still want that relaxing High Desert feel? Looking for everything you need to unwind, plus easy access and no dirt roads?

Ohana Ranch Roadside Inn is a fun family mid-century ranch style home with 3 uniquely themed bedrooms and 2 baths. It’s located in a very convenient central location within 5-15 minutes from all the attractions the High Desert has to offer: Joshua Tree National Park (9 miles), Pioneertown and Pappy and Harriets (7 miles), Black Rock Canyon Nature Center and High View Nature Loop Trail (4 miles), with restaurants, supermarkets and amazing vintage and boutique shopping all within 1-5 miles away.

The sprawling desert yard is perfect for spending quality time outdoors sunning by the cowboy pool (in season), playing outdoor games like horseshoes, cornhole, giant jenga and ladderball, barbequing, stargazing by the firepit, or enjoying the stars from your private hot tub.
Inside this mid-century home, you’ll find an eclectic mix of contemporary design, vintage finds, and classic pieces, which blend together to create a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.

Ohana Ranch sleeps 6 guests between 3 private bedrooms, each with its own fun theme and design.

The UFO Alien bedroom has an interstellar theme fitting of the desert’s other-worldly feel with a queen size bed, TV and DVD library of sci-fi classics to scare you to sleep.

The Happy Trails bedroom is a tribute to Pioneertown and a journey into the old wild west with classic cowboy décor and a comfy queen size bed.

Enjoy a little aloha in the Big Island Suite, which features a vintage Hawaiian theme with a king size bed and ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower.

The living room provides a bright airy space to savor indoor leisure time. On chilly desert days, build a fire in the wood burning fireplace, with the mountains in view through the large sliding glass doors to the backyard. Grab a seat for a cozy movie night or curl up with a soothing drink and good book! The well-stocked kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious meals at home, which you can share at the dining table set for 6. Play board games with the family til the wee hours of the morning.

Ohana means family. E’ Komo Mai to our Ohana Hale. You are now part of our Ohana. Please respect our family home as you would your own home. Feel free to take your shoes off, relax and enjoy a little aloha in the high desert.

I loved this place! I do not like staying in boring places and this one charmed me. Looks better in person than in the photos. I loved the themed rooms and the funky decor throughout the house with art and knick knacks that add to the atmosphere. I even found an alien in the mailbox in the yard! We loved looking at the stars from the hottub and talking around the fire pit. Host was communicative and easy to interact with. Would definitely stay here again.

Great house for a Joshua Tree getaway weekend

Enjoyed a weekend out in Joshua Tree. Stayed here on Saturday night. The house has great high desert vibes with the alien and country themes. We loved the house and the location. Close enough to the park, yet in town close to the amenities. Clean, fun, and the owner was so nice and accommodating. Wouldn't hesitate to book this house again.

This place is awesome! We kept discovering new pictures and art in unexpected places! Aliens are everywhere! Check the mailbox in the backyard. We loved all the activities available like horseshoes, ladder golf, fire pit plus more we didn't use. Inside we didn't have time for more than one DVD and we kept eyeing the interesting sounding games, too. The kitchen was well stocked with the needed pots, pans, utensils, etc. Everything was clean and well kept. We enjoyed our stay and the host was very accommodating with our schedule and making sure our stay was delightful.

Great Thanksgiving Hiking, Family Games and Relaxation

Really enjoyed our stay at this property, that was filled to the brim with thoughtful and imaginative, quirky touches. The owner has a great eye for detail and a wry sense of humor. The selection of board games and movies were well curated and our young adult children really enjoyed playing those with us. We had planned to visit Joshua Tree Park for the second time in a month, but enjoyed hanging out at the house so much that we switched our plans and just did some short local hikes instead. That cut down on the driving and made for a more relaxing family holiday weekend. The owner was really helpful too, and extremely accommodating. We’ll be back one day!
