Immerse yourself in the
desert mystique of the Armagosa Valley, gateway
to Death Valley National Park, where The Ranch
House Inn and Hostel offers a collection of lodging
options for the adventurous desert traveler.
Visit a valley ringed with mountains, red and
golden in the desert light, where the Armagosa
River cuts through a dramatic desert canyon rich
with wildlife. Sheltered by rolling mud hills,
the remnants of an ancient lake, the quirky and
artistic small town of Tecopa is home to world-class
mineral hot springs and plenty of local flavor.
Vintage trailers house guest rooms and a Hostel
decorated in simple yet sumptuous style by Interior
designer and proprietress Cynthia Kienitz. Fabulous
found art exteriors offer guests a delicious
taste of desert kitsch. Our luxury tipis nestle
in the spring fed greenery of China Ranch, a
desert oasis and family owned date farm surrounded
by pristine and unpeopled natural splendor. Located
midway between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, a short
and scenic drive from Death Valley, The Ranch
House Inn and Hostel welcomes you. |
