The Ranch at Death Valley Details
Following a 200 million dollar renovation, The Ranch at Death Valley has been reimagined as the energetic heart of The Oasis at Death Valley. Located along Highway 190 next to the National Park Service Visitor Center, the 275 room resort blends Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with towering date palms and a lively town square atmosphere. Guest rooms reflect a classic mid century style and are set along green lawns near the Furnace Creek Golf Course, the lowest elevation golf course in North America. Many rooms feature patios or balconies, and guests enjoy easy access to the spring fed pool, maintained at a steady 87 degrees year round. The property also includes sports courts, playground areas, communal fire pits, horseback rides, Jeep rentals for park exploration, and multiple dining options including the Last Kind Words Saloon, a coffee and ice cream bar, and a general store. The Ranch also features 80 cottage style accommodations offering modern western design with either one king or two queen beds, located within walking distance of the town square and golf course. Open year round, The Ranch serves as a comfortable and activity filled basecamp for exploring Death Valley National Park. Amenities, services, and operating details are subject to change.
