Historical rectory, this home was built for the priest of the Santa Barbara church. This 3 bedroom home is perfect for families and dirt bikers. Charming and cozy, this 100+ year old home captures the essence of the early 1900s California gold rush era . Enjoy the beautiful sunsets and sunrises on the patio and outside deck while taking in the huge Mountain Views!
The local restaurant may be closed so make sure to bring your own groceries and drinking water. There are no grocery stores nearby (Ridgecrest is a 20 minute drive away, they have Albertsons, Super Walmart, Stater Brothers, etc). We will provide a Britta water filter.
THE SPACE:
This home is over 100 years old and some walls are still left that were built by the early miners. Some windows are original, the home is not well insulated but we provide heaters, warm blankets and a swamp cooler that will allow for comfortable stays. The shower is very small and our bathroom is not large. Staying in our Randsburg cabin does not offer all the luxuries of a 5 star resort, but with Temperpedic Beds, heat blankets, 2 flat screen tv’s with wifi, and crystal clear skies for star gazing, you’ll find our cabin comfy and the landscape unique. The early sunrises light up the expansive Sierras' with vibrant hues that are absolutely breathtaking. The best part of the Randsburg experience is the solitude and the distance from the hum of the electric cities! We welcome you to the "Wild West", where everything is slower, clearer, harder and more badass!
This living ghost-town comes alive on Fridays, Saturdays, & Sundays while most other days you can expect the majority of the town shut down (except for the local bar which may or may not be open). However, stays during the week offer plenty of solitude and R&R.
THINGS TO KNOW about the property:
There are five large stairs to the bathroom and 3rd bedroom, and a door frame that is shorter than standard height. No bonfires are allowed. There are no railings on all patios and decks. Be mindful this is the Mojave desert and although never seen on our property we may have Mojave greens (Rattlesnakes). Also, watch out for the occasional cactus!
NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION:
Randsburg is a living ghost town with a rich history of the California gold rush. On the weekend, enjoy a slice of pizza and lunch at the Vault or a pulled pork quesadilla at the taco truck next to the “Joint”. Talk local folklore over a cold beer or shot of whiskey at the local bar, “The Joint”. Check website for hours.
This town is a dirt bikers haven surrounded by hundreds of miles of BLM trails (STAY on the trails)! The Main Street in Randsburg allows for ATV access, a stop along the way for the tired and dirty.
We are located right off the 395, a stopping point for travelers heading to Death Valley, Mammoth Lakes, Tahoe, Las Vegas, Big bear and Joshua tree.
*Wi-Fi can be spotty up here
