This was a great spot to stretch our legs and walk around looking at all the quaintness! There was a lasso for people to try and hook onto horns. There's also a small petting zoo. Great stop for kids There were restaurants too but we didn't end up eating here. Got some great pictures.

Pioneertown really does feel like stepping onto an old Western movie set. The wooden buildings and…read moredusty streets give it that classic Wild West vibe, but it's also a real place you can walk around and explore at your own pace. We didn't expect to enjoy it as much as we did, but the atmosphere is just so cool and different from anywhere else nearby. It's great for wandering, taking photos, and just soaking in the scenery. It also has a small petting zoo inside ($10 per person), along with some pretty unique (and super expensive lol) shops, and a couple of restaurant bars (I'd strongly recommend making a reservation ahead of time since it gets packed pretty easily.) We had a great time during our visit to Yucca Valley, and Pioneertown ended up being one of the highlights of the trip!

This is such a special and amazing place!…read more We stayed in the rental cottage for two nights, and we really enjoyed the cozy cabin and beautiful property. Our cottage was clean, cute, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and fun weekend. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked and the bed was comfortable. It is situated in the middle of all these cool boulders you can climb for views of the sunrise and sunset. There is a fire pit and a table outside to enjoy the awesome desert night! This is not your typical boring house on a cul-de-sac. We felt like we were in our own little boulder world. The location of the ranch is perfect. There are stores down the street and the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is about 10 minutes away. Kiyomi is an awesome and friendly host! She knows so much about Joshua Tree and all the local events, since she and her husband have been there for years and years. They are so interesting and cool. You'll love them. We will definitely be back!

Our experience planning our wedding at DCR was honestly so easy and perfect that it seemed surreal…read more Only 2 months before our wedding we had to find a new venue and an assortment of new vendors, and luckily for us, not only was DCR available and able to accommodate a tour on short notice, Kiyomi knew a variety of local vendors and was able to make connections for us and even at one point was scouting vendor availability because she knew we were in a major time crunch! All while planning her own wedding, which was just two weeks before ours. Kiyomi was always quick to respond to our questions, incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful, and helped coordinate vendors and guests during our wedding weekend. As an added bonus, she and her husband Shane are amazing and fascinating people, and were a delightful addition to our wedding guest list. My friends and family enjoyed sitting around and swapping stories with them into the night just like they were old family friends. Furthermore, when it came time to check out, my new husband and I had less hands on deck than we anticipated, and were scrambling to clean but ended up checking out an hour late. The whole family was incredibly gracious and jumped in to help us pack and clean up. You can see for yourselves in the photos how expansive, intricate, and unique the venue is - you could walk the property 100 times and still notice new details you hadn't seen before. If you have the chance to visit or book as a venue you definitely should!

I have a laundry list with multiple sources of evidence to prove that my contract with this venue…read morewas not fulfilled in anyway. Nothing but broken promises and chaos. I hired Celeste with "venue 19" for my wedding on October 12th, 2024 and I was completely disappointed the entire time. The music was playing ads when I had already told Celeste multiple times I have Spotify premium that she can use. The sound was going In and out the entire time even though she assured me that her brother was a technical wiz and had a great sound system. (This was also in our contract to have working audio) The colors I chose and confirmed with her 5 times was also not present at the wedding whatsoever. I had actually reached out to her 4 or 5 times to let her know if she can't get the colors and theme I was going for them I would pay for the decorations and flowers myself. The start time was the biggest downfall of the wedding. I had confirmed with celeste more than a handful of times that my guests will arrive at 4pm cocktails and ceremony will start promptly at 5pm. Multiple emails, text messages, agendas, and wedding invitations had the times and she still asked the vendors to come 2 to hours later. (Spoke with each vendor and they confirmed Celeste lied to them about start times) My guests and myself were waiting for hours for everything to get started. Drinks were hot and left in the sun so those that came on time couldn't enjoy anything. She also had her two dogs running around the venue the entire time begging my guests for food, running on my dress, and jumping on chairs where people were eating. She also had my guests take their own chairs/benches themselves from the ceremony area to the dinning area. Which might I add was also a complete disaster since she had no lighting. My guests were eating in complete darkness the entire time. I had to pay my camera guy extra money so that he can bring out some lighting of his own. (Didn't last long since he was not prepared to supply the event lighting) this was also in my contract to have lighting provided by Celeste. A dance floor and tent was also in my contract. She did not have any tents whatsoever. The dance floor was not strong enough to hold any weight. The boards were not up to code and had holes so we were all stuck in our tables with no lights. Unfortunately I mistakenly trusted her to be the officiant of the wedding which she also ruined. Could have been such a special moment for me and my husband that she ruined. She was flustered, forgot her place twice and two several minutes to get back on track, as well as forgetting the exchanging of rings part. She started her speech by talking about herself for several minutes and telling the crowd to not be mad at her because none of the mishaps were her fault... I had reached out to Celeste so many times to offer my help and extra money if needed. I was over the top patient with her and the only thing I received in return was excuses by her playing the victim. She ended everything by sending me threatening emails as text messages that she would sue me if my friends and family did not stop leaving bad reviews (reviews she had taken down by yelp)

It's our dream wedding venue and she went out of her way to make sure everything was clear, easy, and ready to go. We couldn't recommend this place enough.

As soon as we visited Tumbleweed and met with Julie to discuss our vision, we knew it was the perfect place. The sprawling property has many different seating areas, space for game, indoor/outdoor space, and a nature walk for pictures that look as if you are in the middle of nowhere in the desert! There are so many different places to take BEAUTIFUL pictures, enjoy nature, and gather with friends and family. All of the furniture and decor provided is beautiful, modern, bohemian style that compliments the desert so well. The staff was incredible to work with to answer our MANY questions and coordinate our day flawlessly. During the planning process, we were able to visit the venue a few different times by ourselves, with our parents, and with our coordinator and the staff was always so welcoming, kind, and patient. The venue and staff are LGTBQ+ friendly and allowed us to convert the "male/female" bathrooms to "gender neutral" to accommodate all of our guests. Our family and friends all adored Tumbleweed and had such a fun time exploring the property, taking photos, and soaking in the beauty of the desert. I would highly recommend Tumbleweed Sanctuary, Garden, and Labyrinth for a wedding/ special event venue! I wish we could get married here again!! Photos: Eve Rox Photography

Not only did it surpass our expectations with how stunning it is ( I had a vision to find a perfect venue space out in the Joshua tree/ yucca valley area) when I saw this space I cried happy tears! I worked specifically with Julie who was an absolute dream she helped me all along the way constantly there to answer any of my questions and help me in any way she could, the entire staff was great! There's gorgeous indoor and outdoor space, parking for vendors and guests, and they are constantly working and keeping up with bettering the venue in any way they can. I highly urge you to check it out for any event you might be thinking about hosting in a dreamy desert space! Thanks again Julie and the entire tumbleweed family, thanks to you guys we had a truly perfect wedding day!

My wife and I became Le Haut alumni on the chilly night of May 18, 2019. Outside the weather…read moreplaying a little nicer, I couldn't in my wildest dreams imagine having picked a better wedding venue. In my opinion, weddings are inherently one of the most capitalistic and borderline exploitative examples of soliciting real emotion for even more dollars. When everything comes at a premium because you attach marriage to it (cake cutting, flowers, catering, etc), you begin to have real fear for how the most expensive component of the whole thing, the venue - will play out financially and emotionally. Liz and Eric are people who are welcoming you into their home, not someone making a quick buck off providing you 4 walls to throw a party in. We instantly felt so incredibly comfortable with them, that we lingered around for a couple hours the next day and talked about the upcoming Game of Thrones series finale. Name a wedding venue where you're going to do that? Julia - the wedding planner is the perfect combination of straight-talking, to the point, hyper focused, but still inherently warm and lovely that you want for your planner. She doesn't waste your time, but she doesn't make you feel rushed or under stress whatsoever. This venue is not for the faint of heart, however. If being a little chilly, seeing a bug or critter or two can completely ruin your night, I'm not entirely sure why you chose a remote desert wedding in the first place (oh wait, probably for instagram). The desert is a rough, unforgiving, but ultimately rewarding place. If you write a 1 star review for seeing bugs in a remote desert locale, you have bigger issues than this venue. Our wedding went off without a single, solitary logistical hitch. The venue was by far the most beautiful venue I've ever attended a wedding at. The owners were the most laid-back friendly, couple I could've worked with. I never dreamed of having a wedding go so perfectly. I'd give you 6 stars if I could.

A big part of the reason we chose the venue, aside from its beauty, was that we could do whatever we wanted, which allowed for total creative control, as well as allowed us to be as spendy or frugal as we needed. We stayed on site for three days enjoying the property, which was really relaxing to myself, the bride, ok the day leading up to and the day of my wedding. The venue itself gives off an incredible energy and the sunsets (around cocktail hour), as well as the star lit sky at dinner was magical.

But don't expect much in terms of food and cleanliness.

I've been into astrology a bit but have never felt so pulled in than when I had my last reading…read morefrom Evelyn in early 2020. Never before have I been so blown away by how the stars, and Evelyns reading of them, could tell me so much about my history, my growth, and my future. The most mind blowing aspect of my last reading was Evelyn told me about a date nine months in the future that something would change for me and that I should follow that path. I marked that date on my calendar and when it arrived an actual massive shift and possibility opened up for me. I almost couldn't believe it. Evelyn told me that the reading said to "move forward with the opportunity". It was a big risk but since the stars were literally aligned I took the leap and couldn't be happier that I did. Thanks so much Evelyn for the assistance and the direction. So powerful! Truly makes me have a deep deep belief in the stars and especially Evelyn's interpretation of them.

Called and had a lovely conversation with Evelyn, and after about 10 minutes of her saying that…read moreshe'd very much love to work with me, she said she had a reading in a few minutes and would "call me back after". Also sent her a few links at her request via email so that she would have a little background information. 24 hours later, still had not heard back from her, left a voicemail, and never heard from her again. Obviously when one reaches out for this kind of service, it's already a bit of an unknown. Best guidance to Evelyn in her new practice is that she honor returning calls and responding to emails; even if very busy, that's just good business... as well as considerate. Guess compassion and respectful communication just "wasn't in the cards". Thank you.

Okay, being totally honest, this wasn't the absolute best food of our entire Joshua Tree-Palm…read moreSprings trip, but a close 2nd. BUT it was definitely the biggest, most positive surprise when it came to expectations vs. actual quality! We landed in Palm Springs late in the evening and were starving on our way out to Joshua Tree. After a quick Yelp search for something open past 7-8pm, this spot popped up. We pulled into a super quiet parking lot and found this tiny little place. Looking at it from the outside, we honestly figured it would just be a quick, forgettable pitstop. Boy, were we wrong. For starters, the place was relatively full for a Tuesday evening! We ordered the duck confit nachos, the kimchi bulgogi sandwich, and the pony wings. Wow! Granted, our expectations were unfairly low walking in, but this turned out to be probably our second-best meal of the entire week--and we ate out every single day! It absolutely crushed it in terms of exceeding expectations. It also helped that we happened to be there on a Wednesday, so all the wines were half-priced! Unfortunately, since we weren't familiar with the area, we didn't know exactly how much further we had to drive to our accommodations, so we couldn't imbibe more in such a welcoming environment. (Missed opportunity, but safety first!) Oh, and definitely save room for dessert--their pie with ice cream of the day was delicious too! If you are passing through, do not sleep on this place. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in the area!

There is a dog friendly patio so we sat out back with our pups and ordered them puppy patties.

But they servers all worked together and were nice. They grat parties of 5 an automatic 20%, but it's on the menu so be be mindful of that. The food was not bad. They had a special BBQ menu for the 4th, but didn't have the jalpeno cornbread so we went another direction. We ordered a $5 mimosa and the pretzel bites with BOMB queso and split the smashburger. All were awesome. My friends ordered the chicken sandwich and absolutely RAVED about how good it was!! Overall, this place is awesome and we can't wait to go back and sit at the very lively bar and watch some sports!
