The Genuine Draft Horse Ranch is located in the high desert of California’s Morongo Valley and spreads across five acres. Just a twenty-minute drive from Palm Springs, this ranch will have you transported to the Wild West.

While this horse ranch is host to weddings, photoshoots, and field trips, you can stay on-site as well in a private room dubbed the “Love Nest.” With one bed, an old-fashioned claw foot tub, and a private deck, this lofted space high above the barn and event site comfortably accommodates two. Surrounded by cactuses, miniature horses, and cowboy decor, the “love nest” invokes a sense of the American frontier. All guests can enjoy a continental breakfast and complimentary drink in the Saloon, a traditional ranch bar complete with saddle-shaped bar stools, a pool table, and horseshoes.

With the sounds of nature, an abundance of friendly animals, and a vast expanse of land, you’ll be able to unplug and take in the starlit skies in this secluded getaway. Covington Park is located nearby with hiking trails, while restaurants, shopping, casinos, and horseback riding facilities are all 20-30 minutes away.
