We enjoyed our stay so much so we planned on returning 2 weeks later . Checking in was pleasant and even allowed in early , advised on what to go and see on our visit . Property is massive something for everyone including museum . Food good and servers pleasant , prices for food and accommodation very reasonable. Only gripe on checking out around 6.15am no coffee at check out and restaurant closed . Will return

We arrived at The Ranch and were really pleased with the look of it. Yes the rooms were tired and a little stinky but there is a pool and very few options when you have 2 tired children. The HUGE problem though is that there was a note in our room saying due to an issue we couldn’t drink the water or even use it to brush our teeth. I’ve attached a photo of the letter. We called reception and they said they would drop off some water. After an hour, we gave up and went to Reception where we discovered Amber who had clearly had a bad day. Fair enough we’ve all had bad days, the only problem is that when we asked for a litre of water each ( it is 51 degrees C/ 122 degrees F at this point) she gave us a look of such disdain you’d think we’d asked for something unreasonable. She brought out 500ml per person (including children). I said that it wasn’t going to be enough, that we’d need more water. She said if we needed more water we could go to their General Store and buy some. I said I knew it wasn’t her fault but a basic requirement when you rent a room is to have water to drink and use. She said she’d brushed her teeth this morning and she was fine. We said your own note says don’t brush your teeth, at which point she just stared at us for an uncomfortable amount of time. I said just so I’m clear you’re saying the resort is not going to provide us with enough water, we have to buy our own? She said yes, at which point we left to buy a $5 bottle of water from THEIR OWN STORE 😂 The resort is tired but not too bad, just bring your own water!

A real oase in a very hostile area with temperature of 127 degrees Fahrenheit = 51 degrees Celsius. Pool was great! The rooms cool. A real adventure to stay in Death Valley! We had a great time and enjoyed it very much despite the very high temperaturen!

I stayed here July 2024, the Furnace Creek Thermometer had readings well in the 120's. I stayed in a cottage and was impressed at how comfortable and clean they were. The washer and dryer was an added bonus. The "Ranch Town"was cute and surprisingly tolerable to be able to walk around thanks to the many water mists on the covered decks. The pool was amazing and if the weather was a bit cooler the playground and golf course were well kept and looked inviting. I researched ahead of time and was warned about over priced gas prices at the neighboring gas station... but was not prepared for the absolutely ridiculous overpriced market prices--I was sticker shocked to see a pack of hotdogs priced 17.99! -- the great location of The Ranch was key reason for our choice to stay for our short stay. However, due to the outrageous prices, I would not stay here again-- I would have got more out of our stay driving from a surrounding town.

We had a nice trip while we were at Death Valley. We were lucky enough to get to experience the "lake" while it was there which was super memorable. The stars were also amazing! Having said that, I put my lap top IN THE SAFE, and when we checked out there was a bit of a scene with the aftermath of a fire on the grounds and I forgot to get my computer out of the safe. I called 6 hours later when I realized my mistake and the hotel gave me the complete run around. I ended up filing a police report. They never fessed up. The hotel staff literally took my computer. UNREAL. We travel all the time and nothing like this has ever happened. If you go there, do not trust the staff.
