The location is perfect for exploring the national park, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Food prices are high, and quality was disappointing, especially at the buffet. The pool was nice, but it could have been cleaner. They offer activities like horse riding and bike rentals, which are great for families.

I absolutely loved how this place was right in the heart of Death Valley, making it super easy to hit all the major attractions like Artist's Palette, which is just a quick stroll away, and Furnace Creek only half a kilometer away; even sites like Devil's Golf Course and Natural Bridge Canyon are only a few minutes by car! The ranch theme adds a charming touch and the room was comfy enough for a good night's rest after a day of exploration with a pool to cool off in, but the room could use some updates to meet the price point.

We had a rough time with the cottage—constant sewage smell, bugs crawling near our food, and no housekeeping. Plus, the overpriced dining options didn’t help. It felt like we were staying in a neglected place that really needs some attention!

The location is fantastic, with quick access to attractions, and the pool is large and clean. The room was a bit dated and lacked sound insulation, which made it hard to sleep. There are also walking tours available nearby. Dining options are overpriced and limited, making it wise to bring your own food.

The views are stunning and the grounds are well-kept. The pool area is spacious and inviting, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring.
The food choices felt a bit underwhelming.

Fantastic location. Close to major attractions and hikes—Mesquite dunes, Dante’s View, Artist's Drive, and more. Recent renovations made the on-site restaurants and shops appealing. The Saloon's plant-based options were a pleasant surprise. The natural spring pool was a lifesaver in the summer heat, though it could use better maintenance. Encountered issues with dirty towels and indifferent front desk service. Room was clean with nice amenities, but no cozy feel. Tiny garbage cans and a hard couch detracted from comfort. Dining options were overpriced, with misleading information about offerings. The ambiance sagged with tired corridors and worn carpets. More dining choices and later hours would enhance the experience.

The Ranch At Death Valley offers a beautiful setting with easy access to nearby attractions. The grounds are well-kept, and my kids loved the pool.

First off, let's talk about the good stuff. The room we stayed in had a cozy carpeted floor which was nice to walk on, and the flat-screen TV was a bonus for some entertainment in the evenings. The welcome drink upon arrival was a nice touch and helped us feel welcomed. The staff also offered tours and ticket assistance, which was very helpful in planning our activities in Death Valley. there were some areas that definitely needed improvement. The air conditioning in our room seemed a bit temperamental, making the room either too cold or too warm at times. The free toiletries provided were a bit basic and could have been of better quality. On top of that, the terrace outside our room could have used some more garden furniture to make it more inviting for relaxation. The hallway of our building had a strange smell, which was quite off-putting. the ice machine was broken, and the basin in our room was shattered, which was not a pleasant surprise.

Great spot for exploring the desert. Easy access to local stores and fun attractions.
It wasn’t the cheapest option, but worth it all.

comfortable room, comfortable experience with friendly staff who accommodated our early check-in and a clean, well-furnished space that included a lovely outside area to unwind and enjoy the surroundings.
Can’t think of anything.

An oasis of comfort in a rugged landscape, the cottages are charming and well-decorated, with inviting rocking chairs. The heated pool is a wonderful retreat, but the dining options fell short—hefty prices and limited quality left us wanting. Our check-in was delayed, and noise from slamming doors disrupted sleep. Communication about food availability was unclear, adding to the frustration. The Borax Museum and playground are nice touches, great for families. A solid place, but it feels like they're still fine-tuning operations and service. Would consider camping next time.

The newly renovated cottages were perfect for our family of four. The spacious, clean room had a king-sized bed and generous space for luggage. I loved having a washing machine right in the room, a thoughtful touch for extended stays. The temperature control kept us comfortable, even in the warm desert. The noise level was acceptable, aside from a loud fan in the bathroom. The porch provided a great spot to relax during the evenings. Access to the pool was nice, but the pool area could use some upkeep. the facilities seemed a bit mismatched for the prices charged.

Would recommend ❤️😊

Located in the heart of Death Valley, making it convenient to explore the area. Rooms are comfortable and offer a serene setting to unwind after a day of adventure. The front desk staff was helpful and assisted with any issues that arose during our stay.
The dining options were limited, with high prices and occasional shortages on the menu items. The check-in process was complicated and the rooms felt outdated for the price paid.

The kids loved running around and playing together, and it gave my wife and I some time to relax. the low elevation course was a unique experience for the whole family.
My wife says that more kid-friendly meal options would be appreciated.

stayed at Ranch At, and it was a fantastic and unique location. the room was clean, and the bed and pillows comfortable. the facilities were good, with options for relaxation and dinner. the staff was quick to respond when things broke down, like our mini-frig. MISTERS outside in the super-hot summer heat. Would like to return any season EXCEPT SUMMER to really enjoy the amenities and the national park.
Nothing for me 😊

Great location for exploring Death Valley. Close to Manzanar War Relocation Camp. Enjoyed the Junior Ranger Program and outdoor pool.
Felt very at home, nothing too much trouble.

Went horse riding & played golf, even hit the playground! So much fun biking & hiking, totally epic vibe!
More nighttime activities for party people would be awesome! .

The cottage idea was charming, perfect for a cozy retreat. The museum of transportation was intriguing, offering a unique experience. Nestled in a prime location for exploring the stunning views of the desert landscapes, it made for an unforgettable getaway.
Disappointing lack of amenities, such as only one microwave for the entire property and no pool towels available. The food quality did not match the high prices, with cold dishes and limited options.
