Venue Settings

Located in the Yucca Valley area, 2 hours from Los Angeles, 15 minutes from Joshua Tree and about 25 minutes from the entrance to the Joshua Tree national park, this property is the perfect location for productions, events and weddings!

In a vast desert landscape, Boulder Grove Ranch is a rare property surrounded by valleys of boulders, lush green trees and rolling hills. With a beautifully renovated barn, modern ranch house, guest house, tree-bordered backyard, and 8 acres of private property, it is the perfect backdrop for stunning photographs and video. The property is close to restaurants, stores and downtown Yucca Valley and is easily accessible by main roads.

The property features a uniquely renovated geometric woodwork walled barn, a lush tree filled backyard that is surrounded by picturesque boulders, a ceremony / yoga deck in a private valley of boulders, the main house, and a guesthouse. It has been lovingly renovated and decorated to be the perfect event venue, or as the perfect shooting location. The property also has a six hammock wheel, a large cedar hot tub, a sprawling backyard, an art studio and a multitude of picture-perfect vistas and endless possibilities. The vintage barn has been fully renovated to accommodate events. It has its’ own electrical panel, equipped with socket groupings in every corner, concrete floors, a back deck overlooking the rocks behind and easy access from the driveway. The barn also has custom light fixtures

For those looking for a desert venue, Yucca Valley is 15-30 minutes before Joshua Tree. It is, therefore, closer to get to from Los Angeles / Palm Springs. We are ideally located as we are between Pioneertown and Joshua Tree and Landers, placing us smack dab in between area favorites such as Pappy & Harriett’s, The Integratron, Joshua Tree National Park and all the restaurants and shops in the area. It makes it extremely convenient to throw an event here as grocery stores & superstores are nearby. We are also surrounded by a lot of vacation rentals.

Venue Features

The scene

Stunning boulders and lush greenery blankets the property. As guests arrive, they are free to roam and explore the grounds, where they will find a hammock wheel for six people to relax, a roof deck to enjoy the view from, and a labyrinth to walk.

As guests walk up to the ceremony location, via the beautiful winding path, they will discover an expansive vista all the way to Big Bear and beyond. Then as they walk the ridge, the breathtaking and otherworldly boulder valley will reveal itself, the perfect backdrop to a romantic ceremony.

Design

Our ranch house was completely renovated and modernized in the last two years, allowing for modern comforts while retaining its vintage charm. Midcentury modern furniture, vintage rugs and design touches complete the Desert Bohemian Chic vibe. Our barn is completely redone on the inside with custom geometric woodwork, creating a very unique backdrop to any kind of event.

Standout venue features

Unlike most venues in the area, we have spaces for events outdoors as well as indoors, allowing for shelter in bad weather, but in good weather, allowing each space to be its own separate world, contributing to the flow of the event and keeping guests energized. The property was also designed with nooks and crannies so that guests can roam and explore the property.
