There are so many options out here, but you can trust us when we say: you found a gem! Quick story...before owning it, we actually spent a weekend at Flag Ranch. It was a few months into dating, and it was a very special trip (if you scroll way back thru the reviews, you’ll find ours from Valentine’s Day 2020). We visited Gubler Orchid Farms and Giant Rock, ate at Joshua Tree Saloon and Pappy & Harriets, and made it into the park for a sunset hike. Flag Ranch was just a short drive to everything we wanted to do, and was the perfect spot to return to afterward. We cooked a romantic dinner, enjoyed jaw-dropping sunsets, bundled up around the firepit, and stargazed from the hot tub. 4 years later we got married; 1 year after that this property went up for sale. We jumped at the opportunity to steward the next era of Flag Ranch so that couples, friends, families, and travelers of all kinds could continue to discover its magic. We’ve loved making it our own and renewing our deep connection to the desert – back where our love story began :) ~ Kayla + Ethan ︽︽︽︽︽︽︽︽︽︽︽︽ The property is yours to roam and relax, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
