    Water Rock Ranch is surrounded by majestic mountains, and located in the valley town of Pahrump, Nevada. Apart from casinos, brothels, churches, and shooting ranges (all legal in Nye County), Pahrump offers hiking, biking, bowling, golfing, off road adventures, wine tasting, Pahrump Valley Speedway, and Spring Mountain Performance Race Car Driving and School, local Saturday Farmers Market and swap meet. and much more. RANCH has horse shoe pits and rings. There’s a half basketball court for you. Pahrump is about 1/2 hour from Shoshone (on the way to Death Valley), Tecopa Hot Springs, Ash Meadows Nature Preserve, horseback riding, and about an hour from Red Rock Canyon and Las Vegas.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! Pepper Jay

    We had a blast at Water Rock Ranch!
    Pepper was an amazing host! She met us at the tipi to show us around. The tipi was adorable. Stocked with cozy blankets and coffee for the morning. The bathroom is gorgeous. There is a greenhouse, farm animals, a cute little seating area with a grill, A BASKETBALL COURT and an area to take western aesthetic pictures. The whole place was just magical. We had so much fun and will be coming back. Thanks Pepper!

    My mother & I spent two nights at Pepper Jay’s teepee! The teepee was larger than expected, and we had more than enough space inside. We also had some rainy and cold weather and Pepper Jay made sure we were all taken care of. Pepper Jay has an incredible space (you may see cats, goats, peacocks, and more!), so if you’re looking for unique accommodations, this is the place for you!

    The Tipi stay is a must-visit location! I only stayed for 1 night, but wish I stayed for much longer. Pepper and John were both so accommodating and helpful, and I had the most serene time on their property. Close proximity to Death Valley as well!
