Mansão Adobe com Espaço Para 40 Pessoas no Belo Oásis no Deserto - Hóspedes Mínimos 15

The Kemper Campbell Ranch, once a guest ranch hotel near Route 66, is ideal for family gatherings, reunions, company retreats, church groups, “friendcations” and all manner of friendly group get-aways. Our charming adobe guest rooms, situated in a surprising, beautiful, secluded, desert oasis in the Mojave River Valley, offer climate-controlled comfort and old-California charm. Once a get-away spot for Hollywood stars from Groucho Marx to John Wayne to Greta Garbo, the inspirational setting where Herman Mankiewicz wrote Citizen Kane, and still a working cattle ranch, the historic and lovingly renewed Kemper Campbell Ranch is available for just $2,500/night with a two-night minimum for any sized group of up to 48 people.

The ranch’s 22 original guest rooms feature cool, comfortable interiors resulting from the foot-thick adobe bricks guarded by massive shady porches. The buildings on the ranch are beautiful and unlike anything you’re likely to have ever seen. Our 22 bedrooms have quiet, modern air-conditioning and Wi-Fi access. Three 2-bedroom suites each share a bathroom between the two bedrooms, while the remaining 16 guest rooms each have their own bathrooms.

Our newly remodeled ranch kitchen is an absolute joy. The front kitchen is a large space, perfect for cooking for your group. Its central feature is a double oven Wolfe stove with a griddle and six burners. Large granite countertops facilitate meal preparation. Our drawers and cabinets contain all the pots, pans, bowls and utensils you're likely to need. We have a large farm style sink and dishwasher for clean up.

Our back kitchen is great for prep work. It features a commercial refrigerator and freezer and large capacity icemaker. It has a prep sink and microwave and lots of storage.

If you don't like to cook, bring a caterer!

Our three spacious dining rooms comfortably seat 56 people. The main dining room has a new beautiful buffet and coffee area for serving your group. The adjacent and easily accessible patio has seating for an additional 40 and is illuminated with soft outdoor lighting enhanced by stunning views of the Mojave River Valley and the San Bernardino mountains.

When dinner is over your group may wish to take a page from our playbook and move into the Main House living room. This massive 2-1/2 story adobe room will blow your mind with its beamed ceiling, balcony, and huge fireplace. If you’ve got a pianist in the group, step into our family’s nearly century long tradition and enjoy the moment while he or she plays our grand piano!

Just as it was during the 45 years we operated the ranch as a guest ranch, the Kemper Campbell Ranch is a destination resort. Once you’re on the ranch there is no reason to leave. While staying there you can enjoy our amenities including:

• Swimming Pool: You and your group are welcome to cool off in our legendary 40’ X 100’ swimming pool conveniently located right next to the sports court. The pool, built in 1930, is not heated (it’s just too big for us to heat) but it’s awesome to swim in from June through September;

• Sports Court: You and your group can spend your days playing pickleball, tennis or basketball on our sports court. The Sports Court is lighted for night use;

• Nature Walks and Birdwatching: Birders in your group will be astonished by the huge variety birds that can be seen on the ranch. More than 250 species of birds attracted to the area by its riverine environment have been identified on the ranch and the adjacent park. The desert and neighboring park including its ponds and 800-acre cottonwood forest, offer endless trails for walking and enjoying nature;

• Gravel Bike Roads, Dedicated Paths and Trails: Guests are welcome to bring their gravel bikes to enjoy the miles of dirt roads on and around the ranch including a road leading to a dedicated bike path from the Mojave Narrows Park up the river valley to Apple Valley and Hesperia; and,

• Places to gather: In the evenings you can hang out at the pool patio and use our double Santa Maria style barbeque to feed your crew, or like our family and friends do, sit outdoors on the Main House patio and relish the incredible views. On cold days, sit by the fireplace in the spacious Main House living room.
