We have stayed in other national parks and our room at Furnace Creek Ranch was the best so far. We stayed one night in building seven. The room was very clean and the furniture was not shabby like Maswik at the Grand Canyon or the inn at the falls at Yosemite. The only fault was the mattresses were very soft.... More

All travelers who pretend visit a park need understand some aspects. Hotels inside the park is very expensive and don’t have a 5 star services. Furnace creek is good to visit in winter. The temperature is perfect, you can walk, swimming, play tennis, use the spa The front desk is good. The restaurant have a good food. The entire hotel... More

In light of our experience with other properties operated under the Xanterra Corporation's concession from the National Parks Service, we had come to expect to overpay for a mediocre accomodation (in this case, a very loud one) and for mediocre food, and we were not disappointed on either score! We did notice, however, that Furnace Creek Ranch offered "wireless internet."... More

Stayed here for 1 night, family of 4 in one room - block 900 at the back of the resort next to equine facilities. Very comfortable room, clean & well-furnished. Lovely balcony with authentic style rocking chairs. As blocks face each other with small lawned area in between (Pontins chalet style), it had the potential to be noisy in good... More

We spent 3 nights at the Furance Creek Ranch with 2 other couples on a long planned getaway. The cabins were small and cozy but ours had a malfunction with the water heater. The maintenance man examined the heater and then moved our party of 3 to upgraded rooms overlooking the golf course. After we saw these rooms we would... More

Only stayed the one night but the room was lovely, we had a lovely balcony but sadly it was too hot to sit on it! Food was a little expensive but then it is very remote - but my steak was very good. More

I think the location is excellent-I spent my two mornings picking up Plastic Bags from Walmart that had blown into the desert-The food at the Fancy Restaurant was not done well- I know that they get there food from Sysco and you can get a decent meal that way-Please put some energy back into the food and Make it simple...

We stayed at this Inn in May 2010 and we were very happy. Our room was impressive and i remember thinking 'wow' when i first walked in! It was also very clean and had everything we needed. Unfortunatly we were only there a short while but are planning to return next year. The food was very nice and the staff... More

My husband and I stayed here as part of our three week honeymoon. It was only a one night stop over en route to Vegas, but I wish we had stayed a little longer. It was such a great experience to be staying right in the desert and we would have liked to have explored more. There was a fun... More

We stayed at the ranch, and got one of the deluxe rooms near the warm mineral springs pool, which stays open till 11pm. We floated on our backs and watched the stars. There are several restaurants on site. Our favorite was the 19th hole, a little hamburger shack overlooking the golf course (the course is irrigated with water drained from... More
