THE SPACE
The entire house is for rent with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with the private yard.
This house is 1 of the 7 remaining original houses from the old B- Bar-H Ranch. Some of the houses have been restored and a couple of them are being restored. When you pull into the neighborhood, you will see some of the original houses from the street. You will notice our PINK gate with private parking for 3 cars. When you enter the court yard you will find yourself in a desert oasis with fruit trees, cactuses and the occasional road runner who love to call the Rancho home. The front yard is fenced in and very private, where you can enjoy a nice soak in the cold soaking pool (8’ wide x 2’ deep), relax on the hammock and enjoy the peaceful garden.

HISTORY OF THE RANCHO
B-Bar-H ranch was located 10 miles from Palm Springs, an easy station wagon ride, framed by majestic snow-capped mountains through a vast expanse of rolling sand dunes, sagebrush and cactus.
Started during the Great Depression, B-Bar-H Ranch was named for Hollywood mogul Lucienne Hubbard and his son-in-law Charles Bender.
The men purchased the land from the Southern Pacific Land Company in 1927.
Let there be no two strangers between these walls” was the motto of B-Bar-H and Charles Bender, the genial original manager. “Informal ranch life is emphasized. Guests dwell in luxurious cottages, decorated in dude style and surrounded by verdant grass yards".
The ranch became an exclusive destination for celebrities and artists, like Walt Disney, Bing Crosby and Mary Pickford.
Men and women dressed in western outfits and rode horses during the day. When the sun came down they were wined and dined, dressed in their best evening attire.
