Hidden Passage Guest Ranch

We had a really lovely time here! It's near Joshua Tree and Pioneer Town, but is quiet and secluded. It was great place for a 4-day getaway.

This place is just a gem. I was lucky enough to stay for five days in the ‘Athena” cabin as sort of a writers retreat. It had everything I needed, and the management was very responsive to any questions or needs I had. The property is so unique. I particularly enjoyed the infinity pool and the sculptures scattered around, but you can’t improve on mother nature, and she was everywhere.I explored some of the hiking paths through the desert landscape, up a mountain side to view a true oasis, and down to the small creek. I watched so many stars in the open, dark night sky. Everything was so serene. It’s ideal for a getaway near Joshua tree, and I can see it being the perfect place for a retreat, event, family reunion, etc.I can’t wait to come back!

We loved staying at Aphrodite! What an amazing property 🤩 We ended up extending our stay another night because we just didn't want to leave. Thank you Diane and team!

I almost want to keeps this place a secret, it’s that good! The drive in is a bit rough, and long but we did it in a Camaro so obviously it’s doable. The pool is spectacular, the staff is friendly and attentive when needed but kind of disappear into the background when you don’t need them. You get a phone number to text if you need anything or have any questions and they are very prompt to answer or bring you what you need. We visited during rattlesnake season but didn’t see any, even on hikes around the area. This is such a wonderful place, we hated leaving and considered changing plane tickets and our car rental and staying another day just to hang out on the grounds and swim/shower under the stars. Staying longer ended up not working out because of my work schedule ☹️ but we will be back for sure! This is a kid free zone, FYI, this trip was a couples vacation but I would love to bring my 15-year-old but according to the rules thats not allowed. But pets are allowed! Out of this world location and night sky. Book it! You will be so pleased! We stayed in Air Cabin #4. ❤️❤️❤️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

This is such a little gem. We stayed in the Aphrodite cottage. It was a great balance of privacy and community. Exactly as advertised and very clean. Check in and out were simple and without suprise. The use of a private patio, sunbathing area , BBQ and gated driveway made our relaxing trip as stress free as possible. We did some hiking around the property and loved the views. We will be staying here again and hopefully next time we will open up our schedule a bit to accommodate some horse backing and pool time.
