It's been several years ago, but we enjoyed it--we went for a few days just to explore Death Valley. When we were there the "ranch" was a nice motel, with the other buildings looking like something out of the old west. There is a golf course there and not too far away is the Furnace Creek Resort--supposedly very nice. We went into Death Valley from the North from Las Vegas, and stopped to tour Scotty's Castle. It is worth the stop. DO NOT go to Furnace Creek/Death Valley from now until late Sept or Oct. the temp can go to 130!! When ever you go take plenty of water!!! You can drive all around Death Valley, stop, hike some, explore and look---and wonder how any of the pioneers ever got across it.

Being English and so possibly a little crazy we visited it last July on our way back from Arizona to San Francisco. It was very hot but we found it a less unpleasant heat than Palm Springs because there was always a breeze, albeit a hot one! Motel was compfortable, scenery really unusual & sunset over desert magic. We had wonderful dinner at the Furnace Creek Resort, excellent food.
