The Haven, relax, explore, gather

Newberry Springs Retreat “The Haven” NOW ! new! Ping Pong Table in the attached garage!
This is a one-of-a-kind desert home located on five private acres, with great views and plenty of outdoor space. Part of the house newly upgraded with vinyl flooring and a fresh paint! Halfway to Las Vegas, 20 miles east of Barstow.

The perfect desert retreat to explore or relax. Experience the serene landscape, breathtaking views, magical sunsets and eye opening starry nights.

The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is surrounded by fencing. . This is the perfect place for hosting a getaway weekend for a group of friends, couples or family. There are neighbors out there, but they are far enough away to provide much privacy. There is a guest house on the property, but it is not available for use.

You will find 2 bedrooms with queen size beds, 1 with a full size bed. One bathroom in the master, and one bathroom in the hall for guests. There is also a game room that has a fold out couch. The home has a fully equipped kitchen and dining room, and a bar-b-q outside..

While we do accept pets, UPON APPROVAL, we also have a Pet Policy and a refundable cleaning deposit. And we would also like to know what kind of pet you have and how large they are, long/short hair, temperament for our review.

The home has forced heat and air conditioning, or evaporative cooler, to make you comfortable anytime of the year. There is even a wood stove for the cozy winter nights.

The large front porch area is wonderful to sit while you relax with your morning cup of coffee. When you step outside at night, you will be able to see the moon and sparkling stars in the clear, dark sky while enjoying the outdoor firepit (smores are a popular choice!). On the five acres you can enjoy enclosed ATV rides, hitting golf balls across the dry lake or simply relaxing at your own pace.

This home is located two miles off the popular Route 66 Historic drive. Several OHV areas nearby. Lots of Desert exploring: Calico Ghost Town, Afton Canyon, Lava Beds and much more. We have books to help exploring

Closest to Mojave
Chose this lovely house as it was the closest to Mojave that I could find, with three bedrooms. Comfortable and everything we needed. However the showers and sofa needed cleaning. And just an fyi there’s no self check-in like most places.

Mojave Adventure Launch Point
Property was as advertised. Comfortable, clean, and a perfect place to start a Mojave Desert adventure. Lots of space, we could have brought along a large group of friends and all been comfortable. The evening views and sunset was incredible!

Home Sweet Home
Ginger is a terrific communicator and ready to address any issue immediately, several times before we even realized they were issues. It is clear she takes great pride in this home. Plenty of linens, towels, dishes, pots, pans, crock pots, utensils, everything! The Haven truly feels like home.

Great Desert Property
Large well maintained property with access from a well maintained paved road. Lots of parking and turn around if you are towing a trailer. A few minutes drive will get you to Calico, Afton Canyon, Mojave Trail, Barstow and lots of other great places. There is a great fire pit for campfires and a wood stove for chilly nights. Great Kitchen and laundry facility. Great for stargazing as the evening sky is free of pollution. We love staying here.
