★ABOUT THE RANCH★
Welcome to Kaleidoscope Desert – a sanctuary of beauty, wonder, and respite.
Our furry and feathered friends – including curious emus, persistent goats, meandering piggies, free-range mini horses, ridiculous chickens, mouthy ducks and many more – will welcome you with open wings to their home amidst the breathtaking desert landscapes.
With four unique accommodations, from an art deco guesthouse to an antique barn, a floating tiny home to an iridescent star tower, there's an oasis for every traveler seeking solace. Here, art is everywhere, with installations, sculptures, and murals around every corner.
Kaleidoscope Desert is our garden of eden – a magic portal where nature and art create a truly transcendent experience.
The ranch has four places that we host guests in: The Art Deco Guest House, The Antique Barn, The Star Tower, and the Floating Container. And, yes! You can rent the whole place for you and your friends and have everything to yourself! It’s pretty amazing.
Exploring the ranch you'll find:
✔ Friendly Animals (Emus, Mini Horses, Mini Cows, Dogs, Pigs, Tortoise, Ducks!)
✔ Cowboy Pool/Hot Tub
✔ Lover's Double Outdoor Bathtubs
✔ Outdoor Dining Areas
✔ Firepits
✔ Cowboy Pool (Summer)/Wood-Burning Hot Tub (Winter)

The Bedrooms
♛ Bedroom 1: Queen Bed
Our first bedroom features some of the best snoozes this side of Joshua Tree. Color scheme (in case you’d like to match): pink-ish reds, sherbert, and brass.
♛ Bedroom 2: Queen Bed
We have one of the only 70's-era brown velvet, built-in 8-track, space-age lamp beds on earth. We don't know how we got so lucky. And yes, the 8 track works.
The Bathroom

✔ Shower
✔ Vanity
✔ Mirror
✔ Toilet
✔ Towels
✔ Hair Dryer
✔ Essential Toiletries
✔ Skylight
★ OUTDOOR AREA ★
The sun-soaked property offers a fairy-tale, desert ambiance with magic around every corner, from the pastel picnic area to the Hollywood/Miami Vice pool lounge, from the mediation rug to the koi pond, and the lovers’ baths to the cowboy pool/hot tub.
If you don't know what to do, feel free to ask one of our co-hosts (animals) as they are always ready to help entertain you. Speaking of which...
★ ANIMALS ANIMALS ANIMALS ★
Please note that we have 12 dogs, 2 mini-horses, 2 mini-cows, 4 goats, 7 pigs, 7 emus, and one giant Sulcata tortoise in addition to a host of other smaller animals like chicken, ducks and guinea pigs. This means that you really must love animals to enjoy your stay here – they’re all friendly and will definitely come to say hello. Many of them you can hug and cuddle, and if you need help making that happen let us know 🙂
Here are some of their names, in case you're wondering. Dogs are Baby Shark, Tilt, Little Bear, Saucy, Lapsang, Souchong, Ocho, Squigs, Junior, Pancake, Loofa, and the Ancient One (aka Crouton). Pigs are Piggie Smalls (aka Big Pig), Skinny Pig, Nice Pig, Scaredy Pig, Clem, Dudu, and the little pink new guy TBD. Emus are Early and Later, Blondie, Spike, Later Jr., Mr. Pecks and an unnamed rare white emu. The tortoise is Comrade and the horses are THOT (that horse over there) and A Horse With No Name. The cows are Big Head and Bug Eyes. Goats are Zoomer, Nugget, Maniac, and Girl Goat. There’s more, but we’ll leave it here.
Our beloved livestock guardian dogs, 3 Anatolian Shepherds and 1 Great Pyranees (all rescued) diligently protect the ranch from coyotes and may bark at night. We understand that this may be bothersome to some guests and we provide earplugs as a courtesy to ensure a peaceful night's rest.
