Rancho Moco sits on 5 magnificent acres, with dozens of mature Joshua trees, yuccas, cholla cactus, inspiring views and our own wash that serves as a trail through the property. We are conveniently located in the Yucca Mesa area of Yucca Valley, just 19 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, Pappy & Harriet's and Pioneer Town. We are semi-secluded with virtually no light or sound pollution, but restaurants and shopping are just minutes away. Outside you will find park like views, perfectly quiet stargazing and abundant desert wildlife. Inside is a newly renovated artist’s ranch with cozy comfort and a creative vibe. We provide coffee, tea, cuisine basics, a fully equipped kitchen, a spa-worthy master bath with ultra high end whirlpool tub, laundry supplies, star-filled night skies, a stellar sunrise & sunset, and much more. Come see for yourself. THE SPACE Rancho Moco is fully permitted by San Bernardino County for use as a Short Term Vacation Rental - CESTRP-2021-02760. Our goal is to enhance and support this beautiful desert community while providing a high-end, affordable space to discover the beauty of the high desert. For those of you who speak Spanish, Rancho Moco was named after Melonie’s father, who had a unique sense of humor and insisted his grandchildren call him Moco. This home is an homage to him. Our 5-acre property has vast, open views from the front and back door, of snow-capped mountains and dozens of mature Joshua Trees. Enjoy the family of desert quail that live in the olive trees at the entrance, the jack rabbits bounding through chaparral and cacti blooming in vibrant color. Whether to celebrate an anniversary, seek a meditative getaway or establish a home base for some rigorous hiking, Rancho Moco is a peaceful desert enclave that restores your spirit. Our newly remodeled home (in 2020) is decorated with original art and steampunk lamps and furniture we built ourselves. You can enjoy the 1932 Philco radio playing clips from the Amazon fun book “The Very First” – anecdotes and origin stories narrated by Moco himself. The goal was to make this a perfect couple's retreat. After some research we opted for an indoor, private whirlpool hot tub (for 2) with a view. Not having one outside saves us maintenance expenses, which we pass on to you. So, enjoy a bubble bath in our Jason Microsilk whirlpool tub while you identify the stars above. Take your morning coffee out on the back porch, with sweeping views of Mount San Gorgonio. Cool off under the outdoor shower after a long day of hiking. Or relax on the backyard patio by our cheminee – the original 1957 cast iron stove that heated the ranch house when Rancho Moco was originally constructed – while counting shooting stars. Because if you’ve never experienced the clear desert skies at night, you are in for a life changing experience. Our kitchen is stocked with all the tools you need to create your own gourmet meals – or go check out the best local restaurants, cafes and wine bars we recommend. Then curl up on our cozy and lush 8' couches to Netflix and chill. We supply 2 robes in the master suite, slippers (you can take with you), and the most comfortable beds available with high thread count bamboo sheets, and a selection of pillows. Dawn will bring unlimited desert adventure in Joshua Tree National Park (entrance is minutes away). Explore nearby museums, hiking trails, and one of a kind restaurants, or treasure hunt at the multitude of vintage and artisan shops to be found within 20 minutes of our front door. Check out our guide for some of our favorite spots. Rancho Moco is that private place where you can reflect and regenerate in comfort and quiet. We welcome your visit. Sleeping arrangements: Bedroom 1 – 1 queen bed Bedroom 2 – 1 full bed Guest access Whole house Other things to note Be sure to check out our visitor's guide to get the most out of your trip, and don't miss the Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum, a tribute to the Dada movement and an artist's vision of ephemeral art, designed to disappear in the desert wind some day. Just down Aberdeen Road a couple miles! We take safety and privacy seriously. Rancho Moco has smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers and First Aid kits. Our camera-less security system detects motion, decibels, temperature, number of people, and humidity. We do not allow parties or pets, and always answer questions promptly. We welcome your visit. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Outdoor shower - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Electric car charging station - Unit size: 1,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24380000/24371600/24371563/6779d504.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Great place to relax after a day exploring Joshua Tree Park.
