Guidebook for Pioneertown
Food Scene
This restaurant is INSANELY YUMMY. It's as if some chefs decided to abandon their fancy restaurant in the city and relocate to the Joshua Tree desert to stun the palettes of the locals. They are only open from Thursday - Sunday, from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm, and their staff is always full of smiles. We HIGHLY suggest you catch breakfast/brunch there, or if you're feeling lunch, get the Whiskey Brisket. There should be a menu for you to check out in our printed House Manual on-site. Bon apetit!

Cali Greens Cafe
57754 Twentynine Palms HighwayGreat food!
This place is a family favorite for great brunch and lunch, and very good coffee. At times they host solo musicians and other performing artists to entertain guests while they eat, drink coffee, or clack away at their keyboards, and at all times the food is very yummy. There's also a lot of shopping within close walking distance.

Decent bar and grille for the basic bar and grille food, plus plenty of cold beers on tap for hot days. Kids under 21 not allowed so this is not a family place.

Drinks & Nightlife
Nightclub, Bar, Grill, Music Venue...Pappy & Harriet's is THE destination in the area. In fact, a great deal of our bookings are for people specifically coming out to the desert to go there. And guess what? It's only 10 minutes from Janky Acres!

Nestled among the Little San Bernardino Mountains, the desert oasis at Big Morongo Canyon is one of the 10 largest cottonwood and willow riparian (stream) habitats in California. The upstream end of the canyon lies in the Mojave Desert, while its downstream portion opens into the Colorado Desert.

Arts & Culture
"The purpose of the Integratron is to recharge energy into living cell structure, to bring about longer life with youthful energy." - George Van Tassel, builder of the Integratron
"There is no other building like it in the US. The fountain of youth is not in Florida, but it is in southern California at the Integratron." - Weekend Travel Update, a nationally syndicated TV travel show
In 1947, George Van Tassel left his job as a Lockheed aircraft engineer and moved his family to the desert near Landers, California. He leased four square miles from the government, including Giant Rock, a huge freestanding boulder formerly sacred to the Indians native to the area. Van Tassel knew of Giant Rock from Frank Critzer, a local desert rat, who had excavated under it to construct a dwelling of several small rooms protected from the fierce sun. Critzer had been killed in a explosion of the dynamite he kept stored in his rooms, the circumstances of which are still a mystery. The gutted rooms became storage for the Van Tassel family, but they slept outside the Rock and during the day tended a small cafe they had set up. The makeshift runway built by Frank Critzer again became active at Giant Rock Airport.
George Van Tassel began weekly meditation sessions in 1953 at Giant Rock with interested persons which, he claimed, led to UFO contacts and finally to an actual encounter with extra-terrestrials when, in August of that year, a saucer landed from the plant Venus, woke Van Tassel up and invited him onto the ship. There the aliens gave him the technique for rejuvenating living cell tissues. In 1954 he and his family began building a structure they called the Integratron to perform the rejuvenation.
The family held UFO conventions at Giant Rock to raise money for the project and asked supporters for donations. Thousands of believers passed through. In 1959, 11,000 people attended conventions, and Van Tassel continued to work on the Integratron while writing a number of books on time travel and rejuvenation. Van Tassel died in 1978 and the buildings at Giant Rock were vacated and gradually vandalized until the Bureau of Land Management found it necessary to bulldoze the remains.
The Integratron still stands and is now maintained by a group that offers it for rental, tours, film locations and recordings. The owner calls it "a very powerful vortex for physical and spiritual healing".

When the desert is at its highest temps we recommend this place; when the desert temps are at their lowest we recommend this place. It's a family resort...more like an oasis. They have natural spring pools of all temperatures, big wooden cabanas, and tall palm trees fluttering in the breeze. It's a paradise, and highly recommended if you're willing to drive 45 minutes to Desert Hot Springs.
