    The owner was very knowledgeable and kind to the customers. We came to the ranch as beginners and learned so much not just about horse riding, but horses itself. Price was also very reasonable, we really like the trail she chosen to take us. I would definitely return and recommend people to the ranch.

    Booked my very first horseback ride with my boyfriend via Jacklyn with her horses Trooper and Hunter. Had to say it was a wonderful experience. We booked the 1hr trail ride. The ranch was a bit hard to find, but just FOLLOW the directions on the website exactly and you'll eventually get there :) Road up is a bit rough, so I would suggest to leave earlier and prepare to dirty your car. Jacklyn was very knowledgable with the animals and overall experience with first time riders. I'd have to say, it's very nice of her to have this rescue ranch for animals in need. The dogs and horses are incredibly gentle and friendly animals. The trail was nice with some amazing views of the mountains. We'll definitely pay another visit and do this again, but probably with the longer ride where we can go see the creeks that Jacklyn mentioned. I do recommend putting on bug spray before you go, I lost count of my bug bites and my bf caught a tick drawing blood from him. So wear jeans and be somewhat covered.

    My friend and I went to Palm Springs 2/10/12 to celebrate my 44th Birthday, while there we decided to go Horseback riding. This experience without saying put Icing on the cake. If by chance your are driving trough Morongo Valley you must stop by Crazy Horse Ranch and take a ride on one of Jackie's Beautiful Horses, the 1 hour tour was amazing Jackie sure knows her history, looking forward to next year. See you soon Steadson (My Horse I rode on) and Jackie Lisa H.

    We were camping at Joshua Tree, and were interested in horseback riding and thought we'd check out crazy horse ranch. Jaqueline was very welcoming and patient, and an excellent instructor. We enjoyed learning about her ranch and the horses, who were very tamed and clearly well trained. Jaqueline was very knowledgeable about the landscape and she enjoys sharing that information. She took wonderful pictures, pricing was reasonable, and we even got some local organic eggs! Tip: if you are camping in Joshua Tree, the ranch is about an hour away, but totally worth the drive! 5 star experience.

    Guests, BE AWARE of the roads into this enchanted canyon. The trip rewards you with a unique…read moregrouping of well-spaced cabins set in a gorgeous little canyon, but do know you will have to navigate 1.6 miles of poorly maintained BLM dirt roads to get there. The dirt roads should not be a big deal if you are expecting them, but at the time of our booking, this was not disclosed, and it threw us a loop. An SUV or 4WD are not required, but I didn't love putting my pampered Honda Accord through the wringer, and I suspect during monsoon season (July thru Sept) or any heavy rains, the roads would be a mess. We just went slowly, following Siri directions, and it was fine. I cannot imagine any horse trailers making it up the roads safely, horses being alluded to on the webpage. There are paddocks at the site that look run-down but sufficient, but I would think given the road, one would need to ride in. We stayed at Muse, a quaint little cabin with patio set overlooking the canyon. Overall it was special staying in the wilderness, and any difficulties we had (most notably, the electronic door lock locking us out the first night) were handled beautifully by husband and wife team Crystal and Dan, and Crystal comped us the first night for our inconvenience. I cannot speak for the other cabins, but Muse has a two-burner induction stovetop, mini stainless fridge and freezer, stainless sink, microwave, toaster oven, wood kitchen table with two chairs (not 4 as in the photos), and plenty of place settings, flatware, coffee mugs, glassware, and kitchenware, plus an outdoor stainless BBQ. The queen bed was comfortable enough, as was the full-length futon sofa that my husband switched to mid-sleep when he wanted more room. The futon would be perfectly acceptable as an extra bed. There was a standing fan, a couple games, deck of cards, and a few paperback books in the room, which are a nice touch and practical if in need. Internet and Wifi worked well, and the room has a modest-sized well-loaded smart TV. The bathroom being a non-temperature controlled add-on felt almost like psuedo camping, albeit high-end, and truly if I were camping and ventured upon a sink, shower, and tub with hot water (plenty of very hot water), I'd have done cartwheels, but as I was not camping, I found the unheated bathroom during my nighttime restroom visit rough, and I imagine it would be a bear in there in the summer heat. There is a small air exchange unit to help share some heating and cooling from the main room, but I found it insufficient. You will want to just keep the door closed as needed. I do suspect it would be really nice during warmer weather to take an evening bath with the barn-door window open, or to take a shower in the outside stall. There are no electrical plugs by the bathroom pedestal sink and mirror, but the mirror was small and light enough (tiny!), it was easy to slip off the wall when I wanted to do my hair and use elsewhere; you can either move it on the other side of the bathroom where there are outlets, or as I did, use propped up on the shelving units in the main room. This was a minor inconvenience but not worrisome. I enjoyed the long teak (or teak-like) bench in the bathroom, as well as the shampoo, conditioner, bar soap, liquid wash, and make-up remover wipes. Cleanliness was comparable to most privately owned B&Bs in which we have stayed - not up to hotel standards but nothing feeling remotely dirty or uncomfortable. There was a very nice and new-looking stainless French press coffee maker in the room, plus coffee, sugars, and a small selection of teas. Our coffee container was empty, but a quick walk down to the main center - the name escapes me at the moment - provided extra coffee and wow, there were ALL KINDS of amenities from a full fridge of condiments, extra cookware, and a whole variety of miscellaneous items worth checking out. We snagged some butter and two beers from the fridge and left $10, though leaving the ten was our choice. The extras there are a perk and presumably left over from someone's function. As any B&B, I would be wary of things like opened mayonnaise and other condiments, yikes, but it was great to have the options, and I can see people having parties or reunions in that space. There is one each publicly accessible (outdoor) washer and dryer there. There are lots of connected trails onsite, and we ventured on a short one past a fascinating old corral/outdoor rock seating amphitheater to an overgrown old disc golf course and up to a little sitting bench. The pool is only solar-heated, so realistically too chilly for most in the winter, and the whole pool area was a bit overgrown and in need some of some TLC, but the pool water looked super clean, and to have an infinity pool in the midst of a canyon is pretty special. Overall, the setting makes this place. The dirt roads and any imperfections are worth navigating to enjoy the striking beauty and peacefulness of the high desert canyon and sky.

If you want to get away and off the grid, then this is the place for you. Hidden Passage is a ranch with 5 cottages, with Zeus being the largest with 2 rooms & a bathroom with kitchen & living room. It also has trailer spaces if you want to bring your tent to rough it. The common infinity pool area is small but amazing. The pool is solar powered, so it's warm & feels just right. The ranch is in the process of upgrading the internet service to Frontier. Ours is one of the last ones that they were working on. We went into Joshua Tree once to get groceries we forgot, and after that, we just stood at the airbnb. The cottages are named after greek gods. There are also outside bathtubs and showers. This place is perfect for star gazing and for hiking. They have private hiking trails you can enjoy. Also, bring your fur babies. They are welcome. Each cottage has a BBQ for your use and a patio. The stoves are induction, and you can use the pot and pans they provided. The kitchens come with everything you need plus a fridge, coffee maker, & a toaster so bring your stuff to cook. The AC works amazing. There were some games to use for families. The beds are comfy & so are the pillows. I highly recommend booking this place for a weekend getaway.

Not much rental activity except in the winter, damage to the property that went unreported by housekeeping, and just the general vibe that our small cabin was a very low priority for them. Finally, we made the decision to change management this summer after we completed a remodel. I found Leanne in a Big Bear FB group online along with several other PMs who responded to a post I made about looking for new management. Leanne was the only one who provided helpful, tangible information when she reached out to me. We spoke and then I decided she and SkyHigh cabins would be our new managers. The onboarding process was smooth and detailed. They are extremely professional and walked me through the different stages of getting ready to "go live" on the various platforms they use. It took about 6 weeks to get everything completely switched over. But when we did go live in mid-October 2025, all I can say is WOW!! We've had 12 reservations made in just over a week's time! We didn't have 12 reservations in the last year total with the old company, so this has been very, very exciting for us. Aside from all of that, Leanne, Jennifer and their team are very communicative and helpful. If you are looking for new management, I cannot recommend them enough. Just do what they tell you to do, use their vendors, and follow their lead. They have figured out the algorithms and rental platforms to such a degree that your property will actually start to pay for itself. We were on the verge of selling our cabin, but now, we will be able to hold on to it. Call them today!!

Coming from Northern California, we always dreamed of having some roots in JT, Yucca, or Twentynine Palms and with Merl and Dori's help, we found the second home of our dreams.

Merl was honest and helpful explaining pros and cons, being a long time resident of this area. It is amazing how many people he knows. Every other stop, people came up to him saying hello. Once we took the plunge, when I drove 7-hours down to get the renovation started, he helped me remove some chollas (cacti with barbed spines) right when I arrived to make sure my 3 big dogs wouldn't have a tango with them. He genuinely cares that you find the best situation and have a good experience, knowing it's a difficult process and lots to consider. We love Merl and Dori and have definitely settled in nicely in the abode we picked in JT. After some work, we are really happy with how it eventually turned out.
