The property is beautiful!!!! We had booked a casita which was beautiful and gave us so much more than we were expecting. The storage was great, plenty of drawers in the bedroom and good sized closet. Comfy bed with nice linens. The kitchen area had a microwave and a nice mini fridge. The counter space and sink area was large and great for the stuff we pack to use in the room for snacks and bevs. The bathroom very large and a great shower. Nice bath items provided. The living area very large and comfy with desk and tv. And a nice patio which we used for coffee in the morning. And. . . The casitas have golf carts to get around the property, which is pretty cool! There is so much to see and do at the hotel. Stargazing from the rooftop with nice seating, the grounds, the restaurant and last but not least the most beautiful fresh water pool. Natural spring fed water and always the perfect temp. I didn’t want to leave the property to venture out into the park which is why we came. We plan to return someday soon!!!

We booked this place because it’s basically the only option. They put us in a room in the back. It was TERRIBLE. 1. Felt unsafe 2. Dirty (I wouldn’t even sit) 3. On the second floor, no elevator 4. Smelled like pee (someone peed on the shower curtain) I called and complained and they “upgraded” us to the newly built cottages. These were fine but I expect that over time they will be as disgusting as the rest of the place. If you go, get a cottage. The restaurants are awful and overpriced. I recommended just sitting at the bar and drinking your dinner, at least you won’t remember how dirty and disgusting it all is. The only saving grace is that the staff is very nice. Management could care less about the guests or their employees.

I read lots of previews reviews and was not expecting much !!!! I was expecting a falling down shack with grumpy staff and tumbleweed !!! WHETE HAD THESE PEOPLE BEEN STAYING ?? I was greeted by the most friendly and helpful lady on the reception desk who explained everything Our cottage was immaculate with everything we needed and more The bed was so very very comfortable- slept like a queen We ate in the sports bar - again the food was good and the staff were so helpful (but we did get to witness super fussy guests !!!!!!!) Yes I do have ONE MAJOR COMPLAINT which stops it getting a 5 star rating SORT OUT THE WIFI !!! Yes I know it’s Death Valley - I don’t need to stream I just need to stay connected for more than 5 mins at a time so I can contact loved ones back home and send an email etc / thank you !!!!!

As many other reviewers have noted, staying at the mid-upscale Ranch (operated by Xanterra) is to stay at a true oasis in the desert. We stayed in one of the charming duplex cottages which was modern, clean and very comfortable. Some other guests have complained about the walk from their parked cars, but trade off is a delightful pedestrian-only complex that is quiet, palm tree lined, and car-free. And yes, all of the facilities at Furnace Creek are a bit expensive, but consider where you are and the expense of operating anything in the middle of nowhere that just happens to be (or among) the hottest place on earth. Overall we found the Furnace Creek experience to be delightful. The only minor annoyances were the limited dining options, and the pitiful cell phone and internet service. The local wi-fi did nothing to improve the service. But again, consider where you are. Perhaps you are lucky to have any phone service at all.

This is a very nice Oasis in the Desert. Very enjoyable stay. No problems. The room was comfortable and we enjoyed the view from our balcony. We were able to walk everywhere. Although a little expensive we enjoyed the large breakfast buffet in the 1849 restaurant.
