Welcome to **Gemini Moon Ranch**, a hidden gem nestled in the rolling hills of De Luz just outside Temecula, CA. This 5-acre historic ranch offers guests a unique chance to reconnect—with nature, with history, and with themselves. Whether you're pitching a tent under the stars or settling into one of our rustic rooms, you’ll be surrounded by oak groves, native plants, and the peaceful soundtrack of birdsong and rustling leaves.
The ranch is part of a living preservation project dedicated to honoring the legacy of California ranch life and the art of master craftsman Robert Morris, whose handmade metalwork still adorns parts of the property. During your stay, you’ll notice thoughtful details that blend history with charm, from vintage touches to handmade features.
**Campers** will enjoy shaded spots beneath the trees, a year round creek, access to a communal outdoor kitchen and deck, and the serenity of being completely immersed in nature. Fall asleep to the sound of the breeze through the oaks and wake up with deer passing by your tent.
**Room guests** stay in one of our lovingly restored farmhouse suites—each with its own story, private entrance, and access to modern comforts while maintaining rustic authenticity.
**What to Expect:**
🌿 Creek access for seasonal dips or quiet meditation
🔥 Fire pit and outdoor gathering space
🌌 Unbelievable stargazing on clear nights
🛏 Cozy rooms with character and comfort
🌸 Native gardens, fruit trees, and visiting pollinators
🚿 Outdoor shower and rustic bathroom access for campers
🎨 Optional add-ons: private chef meals, yoga, massage, or stained glass classes
We’re a quiet, soulful space—perfect for couples, artists, writers, nature lovers, or anyone needing a pause from the rush. Whether you come for a night or a weekend, you’ll leave with your feet a little dirtier, your heart a little fuller, and maybe even a few stories to tell.

We purchased Namaste Farms in 1997 when I was showing reined cowhorses as well as raising thoroughbred racehorses. In 2005, I purchased my first wool sheep and fell in love. Today, Namaste Farms is recognized around the globe for raising high quality wool producing sheep. While sheep are the primary animals at Namaste Farms, there are countless other animals, both four legged and feathered!NOTE: Namaste Farms is a true working farm with copious amounts of sheep, goats, chickens, peafowl, and countless other animals. Along with those, we have free range squirrels, rabbits, flies, dust and yes, even free range spiders. If you're wanting a rustic experience that gives you a break from city life and you can handle dust, dirt, cobwebs (and these can happen over night inside your cottage and WILL be in the common areas), with sounds of animals vocalizing at all hours of the day and night, then Namaste Farms is a perfect fit for you. Know, you're supporting a 501c3 charity and all the revenue goes to support the animals.This booking is for the Treehouse, and while it's only 1/2 a mile from the city limits, it has a rural feel and is centrally located to all wineries and most of the major equestrian facilities including Galway Downs, Green Acres, and California Ranch Company. For those who are coming to Temecula for horse shows, we also have a large barn with bedded stalls and turnouts (for an additional fee). There are designated horse trails right outside our gates which will even take you to Galway Downs and California Ranch Company. If you're into golf, you can enjoy Temecula's 7 PGA golf courses or Pechanga Casino which are also within a short driving distance to the farm. If horses or golf isn't your thing, you can visit Temecula Valley wineries which are all ~ 1/2-3.8 miles of the cottage gates. The wineries are not within walking distance of each other, UBER is only too happy to come here and pick you up! If you're not interested in any activities and simply want a "staycation," you can hang out here where you're welcomed to walk around the farm and interact with the animals. At night, enjoy the sounds of serenity.

Stayed in the Treehouse. The room is small with a full sized bed, so if you bring your dog, bring a small one as we did. The outdoor patio above the vintage truck bed adds to the square footage. The host Sean was very pleasant and informative. There is a nice propane fire pit down below. Lots of farm animals with some friendly farm dogs. Although rural, the town of Temecula is nearby with plenty of restaurants.

If you’re looking for a rustic and unique glamping experience surrounded by farm animals, you would love Namaste Farms. The treehouse is cozy, with thoughtful amenities like electricity, a heater, fan, tea kettle, instant coffee, utensils, mugs, and even wine glasses.
We loved seeing the variety of animals on the property — sheep, ponies, a horse, peacocks, ducks, chickens, and a few friendly border collies. The location is convenient and close to plenty of restaurants and wineries, with flat, easy roads leading up to the property. The outdoor shower and toilet are private (not shared) and add to the glamping feel, while still offering modern comforts. Just keep in mind you’ll need to park outside the gate and carry your luggage in, and the space itself is best suited for smaller dogs (under 30 lbs). We stayed during mid-October and the overnight temperature was pleasant without needing to use the heater.

Weekend Trip to Namaste Farms
What an incredible weekend at Namaste and we can not wait to come back for another stay! We came in from Palm Springs for a nice relaxing weekened surrounded by farm life! My husband and i just celebrated 21 years together, 18 years married, and it was just what the dr ordered! The tree house was so fun and a cute little cozy place to stay. The Ranch was rustic, so charming, and nicely kept. We loved petting allllll of the animals and feeding the horses. The pups (gaudians) around the farm were so fun and kept me from missing my own that stayed home. Sean was so nice and we had so many nice chats with him about the animals, farm life, and his family. He gave us AWESOME suggestions on places to eat near by and they did not disappoint! Overall 10/10 I recommend and hope to return soon 🫶🏼

Namaste farms was a perfect little escape for a night. Sean was so helpful getting us set up and answering any questions we had. The tree house was so cozy and perfect for a little “glamping trip”.
The animals are all so friendly and loved the carrots that we brought. Hope to be back soon!

Sean was very welcoming and very attentive to any need we might have. The farm is a quiet place with plenty of animals. Sean does a great job taking care of the animals. Staying in his farm helps found money needed to maintain the animals including all the rescue animals. If you are not afraid of spider then it is worth visiting.

Weekend Trip to Namaste Farms
The whole experience provided what was promised - a quiet and private glamping. We booked The Pony Experience which provided us a secluded area, where this very cute and comfortable trailer sits. This package also comes with the star resident, My Boyfriend (a handsome mini horse), right in front of the trailer. We found out he LOVES fresh carrots and apples, and he let's you know when that he wants more. We also had the company of the farm's friendly dogs. Sean was very nice and accommodating, and made sure we felt welcome and comfortable. What a wonderful way to celebrate our 35th anniversary! This was a surprise for hubby, and it was a HIT! Thank you, Namaste Farms for a wonderful experience! We will be planning another family getaway at your beautiful farm.

Sean was the best host. He took great care of us and ensured we were comfortable and checked on us often. All of the animals were very friendly and we had such a fun time feeding and petting them. The bed was really cozy and we had a goodnight's sleep. The decorations were really unique and made the stay even more memorable.

This property is very unique. It’s rustic but has so much charm. The trees, the wild life and the never ending wonderful quiet.
We were 6 women 60s and 70s we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in The Gallery.
Tracey and Pete, not only magnificent custodians of a site with such historical interest, they are the hosts we all wish to meet!
If you feel like you need to unplug or unwind head out to this place, you won’t be disappointed. There are many nooks and cranny’s inside and out to sit and be quiet, or just talking.
Something to enjoy!
