Joshua Tree Ostrich Ranch and Guest House, Dolan Springs

I stayed at the ranch with my wife and 6 year old son for just one night. We arrived around 6 and Denver met us right away to show the guest house. Afterward he invited us to see the ostriches. They were very cool and our son loved the experience. We enjoyed the stars while sitting around the fire pit and slept very well. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants a great full house and unique experience. Our son said he missed George, the largest ostrich, later the next day. :-) Great experience for sure.

Family stayed one night but you could use this as your home base for a 4-5 night stay easy. Close enough to Lake Meade (25 min), Hoover Dam (35 min), Grand Canyon Skywalk. Lots of trail options too. Denver was helpful without being overbearing. Cabin had full kitchen, two full baths, two bedrooms, dining room with couch, laundry. All functional and very nice (not luxurious). Ostriches were cool, and we really enjoyed roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. Great area for stargazing. Check-in was 1-9 PM, Check-out was 10 AM firm.
