About the property

Welcome to Mod West Ranch, a one-of-a-kind desert compound set within a dramatic landscape of towering granite boulders and open sky. Spanning five private acres and bordering thousands of acres of untouched wilderness, this immersive retreat blends modern design, playful architecture, and destination-level amenities into a stay that feels expansive and cinematic.

The property sleeps up to 10 guests. The main house features 2 bedrooms and the ADU has 1 bedroom and it's own kitchenette. The interior balances warmth and modernity, with open-concept living spaces designed for gathering and comfort. Large windows frame the desert landscape and bring natural light into the home throughout the day, while two indoor propane fireplaces create a cozy atmosphere during cooler evenings. Beyond the main living areas, a series of creative spaces including a music studio, crafts room, and haberdashery dress-up room.

Outdoor living is central to the ModWest Ranch experience. At the heart of the property sits a modern heated container pool, surrounded by a 720 square foot sun deck with sweeping desert views. Nearby, a large six-person hot tub offers the perfect place to unwind beneath the stars. A sauna and cold plunge complete the on-site hot and cold therapy circuit, while multiple firepits, lounge areas, and dining patios create effortless flow for long desert days and nights.

One of the ranch's most iconic features is its private drive-in movie theater. Complete with a projector, vintage speakers, and classic cars, it delivers a nostalgic, unforgettable movie-night experience set against the desert backdrop. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen with propane grill and pizza oven makes al fresco meals easy.

With a nine-hole mini golf course, yoga deck, children's playground, swing set, telescopes for stargazing, and five acres of private boulder-filled terrain, Mod West Ranch is frequently described as a destination in itself. It's a place where adventure, creativity, and relaxation coexist, and where the desert becomes part of the experience rather than just the backdrop.

Our stay at Mod West Ranch was incredible - we will be returning! The houses were clean and comfortable with such fun design. The amenities were crazy. Dress up, star gazing, pool, sauna, etc - it had everything you could want. It felt like we had our own little town to ourselves that our kids just loved. The owners were so generous with their belongings throughout the ranch and it feels like no expense has been spared. Highly recommend!

Our family had an absolute blast—Mod West Ranch did not disappoint! We loved being surrounded by nature and the incredible stargazing at night. The house itself was beautiful, and there was so much to explore across the property. One of our favorite parts was dressing up and playing old western music—it really made the experience feel unique and special. Even though it was a short stay, we made such wonderful memories together. The hosts were incredibly attentive and always willing to answer any questions we had, which made everything that much smoother. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and memorable getaway!

WOW!!! Mod West Ranch is such a cool, unique desert property and somehow has every amenity you could think of (and probably a few you didn’t). You can immediately tell this is a labor of love. Want to relax? There are cozy lounging spots everywhere, perfect for morning coffee or sunset wine. Want to play? So many games and activities that you’ll never get bored. Want to unwind? The setup makes it so easy to just kick back and enjoy the desert quiet. So much personality and whimsy, it feels like your own private desert playground. The privacy is amazing: secluded, peaceful, and quiet. Tons of room to spread out, hang by one of the fire pits at night, stargaze (the sky out there is insane), and feel totally tucked away from the world. Whether you’re lounging, playing, hanging out under the stars, or just soaking in the desert vibes, it hits. If you’re looking for a basic stay, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a memorable, over-the-top, ridiculously fun desert getaway… book it!
