Mid-Century Artistic Retreat • Panorama Heights

Discover the Gather ’Round Ranch, an artistic mid-century desert retreat in Panorama Heights near Joshua Tree National Park. Perfect for creatives, musicians, and those who appreciate curated design, this unique 2BR/2BA vacation rental features 12ft beamed ceilings, an upright piano, acoustic guitar, Fender amp, record player with vintage speakers, natural plaster walls, microcement walk-in shower, outdoor chiminea, and walkable access to Más O Menos, the Harrison House, and the park boundary. Cinematic desert soul meets modern boutique luxury.

The vision for the Gather 'Round Ranch was to create a place to relax, but also from which to draw inspiration, create art, and enjoy the company of others.

The aesthetic is a mix of vintage & modern, featuring trimless wood-framed windows, vintage industrial light fixtures, natural plaster bedroom walls, and a microcement walk-in shower with exposed copper pipes.

The great room, the original structure built in 1958, has 12' beamed ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, a record player with vintage speakers, an acoustic guitar, Fender Twin reverb amp, and an upright piano.

In the master suite are sliding glass doors that lead to the outside, and an attached bathroom with an oversized bath tub.

The second bedroom is adjacent to the bathroom with the shower. Please note: there is no built-in climate control in this bedroom. There is a ceiling fan for warmer months, and a space heater and electric blanket for the winter.
