The Neighborhood: Morongo Valley is a small, quiet community featuring one of the best bird watching locations in the Western United States: Big Morongo Canyon Preserve. Morongo Valley is an ideal High Desert locale, set halfway between the restaurants, shops, and nightlife of Palm Springs (30-minute drive) and the wonders of Joshua Tree National Park (35-minute drive to the West Entrance). This area is located within a short drive of delicious restaurants and fun things to do. Here are a few favorites: • Dillon's Burgers & Beers (7-minute drive) - Old-school eatery known for hearty food and arcade games. • Morongo Valley Cafe (8-minute drive) - Neighborhood favorite for breakfast classics like eggs benedict and huevos rancheros. • Joshua Tree Village (30-minute drive) - Quirky strip of boutiques and restaurants, including Coyote Corner, Space Cowboy Books, and the rustic Joshua Tree Saloon. • Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum (35-minute drive) - As far from a stuffy gallery as you can imagine, this outdoor sculpture garden contains a unique collection of folk-art. • The Integratron (35-minute drive) - New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process. • Mt. San Jacinto State Park (60-minute drive) - Expansive, hilly landscape with foot and horseback trails surrounding 10,834-foot Mount San Jacinto. Of course, let’s not forget about the essentials. Everything you need is within close driving distance: • Closest supermarket: Vons (23-minute drive) • Closest liquor store: King's Liquor Store (20-minute drive) • Closest pharmacy: Rite Aid Pharmacy (22-minute drive) • Closest bank: Wells Fargo Bank (20-minute drive) • Closest gas station: Circle K (7-minute drive) Getting Around: Many roads in the high desert are dirt, so please take it slow. While a car is required to get around, a four wheel drive car is not if you follow our directions, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain. PLEASE NOTE that names of streets on maps and on street signs often differ in Morongo Valley, and some roads can be quite difficult as they are not publicly maintained. Please be sure to follow our turn-by-turn directions. Other Things to Note: • POOL AND HOT TUB HEATING: \- The hot tub is always free to heat. \- However, during the cooler months, there are extra charges for pool heating, see below. \- If you want the pool heated during these months, please let us know 48 hours before you arrive. Extra Charges for Pool Heating: May/September: $150 per night October and April: $200 per night November through March: Pool heating not available No jumping, diving, running or rough play near the pool. No glass can be around the pool and hot tub, there are plastic cups in the kitchen to be used outside. Please mind the quiet hours (no loud noises after 10pm).

Maximum of 2 Dogs allowed.

A four wheel drive car is not required, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain • WILDIFE: During the Spring & Summer, honeybees gather near the far end of the pool (and the spa). They are not aggressive and will typically ignore swimmers. We have created two small diversion pools and are working to get them to seek water elsewhere.
