Beautiful spot to watch sunrises and sunsets. Great for star gazing too. Bar is located in a small quiet town named Crystal, NV.
The closest town for gas and food is Pahrump which is about 20 minutes away. My place is perfect if you want to get away from the city for a little bit, or if you are traveling the country in your RV, trailer, or tent. My place is very unique if you are looking for a different place to stay other than an RV park. Good vibes only. :)
Learn more about this land:
I am located one hour away from Death Valley National Park and twenty minutes from Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge and Devil's Hole. And an hour to Las Vegas and Pahrump about twenty minutes away. Google Maps and GPS will sometimes get you lost. Please message me for better directions after booking.

2 nights at Mojave Desert Ranch
This was the second time we enjoyed staying at the Hummingbird tiny home and spending an extra night was well needed. The hosts Sandi and Rob were very accommodating and friendly and easy to contact about anything. We enjoyed everything the tiny home had to offer, including nights outside around the campfire and enjoying the peace and quiet that Vegas can’t always offer. We felt very safe and welcomed during our stay. We hope to come back more often for these types of getaways!

It was nice to have a bed, shower and water so close to Death Valley, although not as short a drive as Google Maps shows. The place is quirky with a hilarious backstory. Best of luck to the family trying to bring the historic saloon back to life.

Weekend Trip to Mojave Desert Ranch
The Ac is perfect and hits as soon as you walk in, the bed area was warm during the day but with the fan on and the cooling down on the evening it was comfy at night as well. We were pleasantly surprised to see a toilet and a shower since we hadn't seen them in the pics.
It's a dreamy tiny home with everything you could need. Even some board games and checkers. Loved the cute little radio which I enjoyed while cleaning the pots and pans. We made breakfast in the firepit and smores at night. The night sky was clear that you could see the milky way! We fell in love with Sandy Valley Ranch a second time. So serene and beautiful. The dogs are so well behaved and we love all the animals. Glad to celebrate a birthday there and already looking into staying again.

WOW! A very wonderful experience was had. I give it a 10 out of 10. Employees were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional in all aspects. The weather was not a problem, only gusts of wind late into the night, and a warm environment during the day, but comfortable. The mini cabin had toiletries, which I found very thoughtful. The fire pit near the campsite was perfect for s'mores, so no need to bring your travel pit. Although I recommend bringing a flashlight and water on your stay.

Weekend Trip to Mojave Desert Ranch
It was a great place to see the sunset and sunrise! I loved having the animals and took the best trail ride right from the ranch. The hummingbird had all the basics I needed. The signs to the camp were great, as I came in after dark and had no problem finding it.
