Water Rock Ranch ("WRR") is a clean picturesque 5 acre ranch in Pahrump, Nevada, surrounded by magnificent mountains, and next door to a mission like tower. Time at WRR melts tension and stress away, and can bring calm to your life. One may meditate, relax, and find serenity (except for the occasional rooster crow or goat bray). Or, catch up with email, etc, with free WIFI.

Several boulders on the property so PLEASE USE STRONG FLASHLIGHT!

Your accommodations at WRR consists of one 18' diameter tipi, which includes 2 single air mattress beds (one double size and one single), clean sheets and blankets, electric blankets if needed, electricity, phone charger strip, wifi, and heater / fan. NOT RAIN PROOF because top of tipi is open slightly and rain water will fall in the middle.

At your disposal, next to the tipi, is a pergola sitting area, fire pit (wood provided as an option) and cooking grill (you bring your own charcoal, plates, etc, we have some cooking utensils). CAMPFIRES ONLY ALLOWED IF if wind is 5mph or less. I am happy to build a fire for you in the fire pit. Bring marshmallows to roast (we have clean marshmallow roasting utensils for your use)

Your tipi and sitting area are located at the back of the ranch. A shared indoor lockable bathroom, with shower, is located at the center of the ranch, in the white building with the Water Rock Ranch sign on it.

You share WRR with its owners and, during the day, ranch hands. Also, chickens, peacocks, dogs, cats, goats, and desert tortoises (when not in hibernation). Also, for those with allergies, please note there is alfalfa hay on the ranch and 7 cats. Please drive slow on ranch property! Please do not feed the animals. No additional animals allowed (sorry)!

Pahrump, Nevada is easy to reach and hard to forget. We're located an hour+ west of Las Vegas and an hour east of Death Valley National Park, a place known for extremes. Apart from Death Valley, day trips include Amargosa Opera House and Hotel, Ash Meadows preserve for plant and animal life in the region, China Ranch (a lush, green oasis surrounded on all sides by mountain ridges), Tecopa Hot Springs, Red Rock Canyon and, of course, Las Vegas.

We've been asked about RESTAURANTS and FOOD OUTSETS in town of Pahrump (3 miles from WRR). There are 3 large grocery stories in town: Albertsons, Walmart, and Smiths.

We don't provide meals. NO cooking in the tipi.

There are several restaurants in town. We love The Living Free Cafe (down the street at Mesquite & 160) reasonable down to earth good food but limited hours. Fancy but lovely is Symphony Restaurant at the Pahrump Valley Winery (reservations may be required) (5 1/2 miles from WRR). Ohjah Japanese Steakhouse is very good. Mom's Diner or Stage Stop Casino & Restaurant for all American food. China Wok Buffet & Grill has a big buffet for a fixed price ($11 pp + tax I think, not including drink). (all about 3 miles from WRR). Also, Mexican, Italian, and Thai restaurants in town. And, fast food: Sonic Drive, Arby's, Burger King, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, Carl's Jr, KFC, Panda Express, China a-go-go and Subway come to mind. Starbucks.

For breakfast, may I suggest O Happy Bread (a French cafe bakery) ... they have great fresh Quiche, pastries, salads and sandwiches. Or, Mom's Diner. And, there's a Denny's. Hopes this helps!

Safe travels!
