Neighborhoods

Morongo Valley is a small community, and we want to be good neighbors. Drive slowly on Rawson, and if you see a neighbor as you’re driving in and out, give them a wave! Walk the property with closed-toed shoes and high socks. If you get pricked with a jumping cactus, use a pair of tweezers to remove instead of your fingers – they’re sharp! Keep the doors shut to prevent flies from finding a cooler home inside. Take advantage of the early light in the summer months to hike early in the morning. It can reach 100°F by 10 a.m. Take a walk around the property at sunset and take in the 360° mountain views.

Food scene

Coyote Cone is a cute ice cream shop and coffee shop just up the road—and it’s one of the only places open early to get your caffeine fix.

The most direct way to access the gorgeous alpine views and nature trails in Mt San Jacinto State Park is via the Palm Springs Air Tram. Pack a bag and plan to spend the day exploring local wilderness at high altitude (with much cooler weather).
