About this property
Flamingo Ranch - Dreamy Desert Design
Summary:
Bold, quirky, and full of personality, Flamingo Ranch brings a fresh wave of retro-boho energy to the high desert. Nestled in Flamingo Heights just down the road from local staples like La Copine and the Integratron, this remodeled 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home easily accommodates up to four guests. It is an artfully curated landing pad designed for creative spirits, road-trippers, and design lovers who want something far beyond a standard stay.
The Space:
Step across polished concrete floors into an expansive living space wrapped in wall-to-wall windows. Natural desert sunlight bathes the room, highlighting eclectic boho decor, plush mid-century lounge seating, and a fully equipped kitchen built for entertaining. Both light-filled bedrooms feature cozy queen beds, premium linens, and private en-suite bathrooms, giving every guest a quiet retreat to recharge after exploring local vintage shops.
Stepping out into the sprawling yard unveils multiple dedicated lounging zones crafted for every phase of the day. Enjoy your morning coffee with the sunrise, rinse off under the outdoor shower after a dusty hike, or host dinner at the open-air dining table. As twilight sets in, sink into the bubbling hot tub for front-row views of bright, unpolluted night skies right next door to neighboring desert horse pastures.

• 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms, sleeps 4

We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable.

You'll also be sharing the landscape with local snakes and scorpions. They want nothing to do with you, so if you see one, just back away calmly and quietly

Desert wildlife is part of what makes this area special, expect sightings of jackrabbits, tortoises, roadrunners, quail, and lizards. You may also spot coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, or occasionally a bobcat or mountain lion. Most just want their space, so it's best to give them yours.

Clean, quiet, peaceful spot. 360 around the house is gorgeous. Great outdoor patio for meals and great views. You don't see any neighbors except for the horses which are beautiful to watch from the patio. Host is very communicative and quick to respond.
All the comforts of home, quiet and relaxing. Not as secluded as would’ve liked, but a nice stay. Lots of nature to see. Enjoyed all but the flies. Lol! Think the adjacent corral/stable contributed to that. Property management was attentive to our inquiries.
This is a great space for visiting Joshua Tree NP and exploring the surrounding areas. We especially enjoyed the turntable and selection of vinyl--brought back some memories! It was too windy for using the hot tub or enjoying the outside seating much, but as another reviewer mentioned, the sunrises and sunsets were lovely! The freshly ground local coffee was a bonus.One note: the amenities list a washer and dryer, but apparently they aren't usually available for guests (though they gave me the code when I requested it).
LOVED staying at the Flamingo Ranch! Such a cute little house and super convenient to Yucca Valley and Pioneertown shopping, restaurants and bars as well as Joshua Tree National Park. Enjoyed watching the horses at the ranch next store while sipping coffee, and sitting in the hot tub at night while looking at the stars. Would definitely stay again!

Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
- Very bad water pressure - showering is difficult - Primary bathroom toilet difficult to flush - Clogged shower heads - Second bathroom sink coming off the wall- Cheap, uncomfortable, worn dirty furniture- Upholstery and throw pillows dirty and worn - No rugs - echoes - Old used slippers were really gross and weird amenity- No curtains in the main space - Most of the window screens gone - Slow WiFi - Need Kitchen scissors- Need Lighter- Need More flatware 4x is not enough - Tongs would be useful - Cocktail glasses would be useful - No Dustpan - Dirty oven hood- Dirty glass light fixtures over kitchen bar bathroom - Second bedroom sliding door lock doesn’t work- Most of the vinyl records are gone. Just coversThis house feels really poorly maintained and desperately in need of care, deep cleaning, plumbing, landscaping, and updated furnishings. Booking and check in were complicated. Location was decent (if you don’t mind the smell of horse. I love horses). Local hosts were kind and attentive. Mostly the owners need to tend to the house and I’m surprised Hi Desert Dwellings is willing to represent this house in the condition it’s in. It would be difficult to trust this company again to accurately represent a rental property.
Quaint little house out in a rural area for a nice weekend getaway to Joshua Tree. House had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. Hot tub was nice for evening relaxing. Check in process was easy and they provided a summary of restaurants and things to do in the area.
