Rimrock Ranch Cabins

Top choice in Joshua Tree National Park


Camp in a knotty-pine cabin just like Gene Autry and Roy Rogers did in the 1940s at this soulful desert hideaway 4.5 miles north of Pioneertown. All have Old West decor, kitchen facilities, DVD player and private patio. For extra kookiness, book into the Airstream trailer; for stylish comfort book the Hatch House bungalow.
