About this property
Dutch's Retreat - Your Death Valley Base Camp
Our cozy home is located in the Shoshone EcoVillage - home to a Restaurant & Saloon, store, gas station, museum & post office. Nature, historic and vista trails are an easy walk away. We offer a warm mineral spring pool for our guests to enjoy! Enjoy our gorgeous ponds & habitat restoration that provides refuge for the endangered Shoshone Pupfish & Amargosa Vole.
Our cozy home is located 1 mile from the south entrance to Death Valley National Park. It is newly remodeled to accommodate a group of 4. It has one double bed in the bedroom, and a small room for two with a bunkbed. This home is situated in a sweet RV park and campground where friends and family can camp close by. In beautiful surroundings, this home is nestled in a lush desert oasis with a warm spring pool.
With a commitment to protecting our biodiverse ecosystem, we have created numerous trails. Across from the RV park campground is a short path through viewing ponds for the Shoshone Pupfish, once considered extinct. These pools are surrounded by newly created habitat for the endangered Amargosa Vole. We also offer several trails for viewing birds in our backyard of the Shoshone Wetlands, and a 3 mile loop of gorgeous desert vistas.
The Village of Shoshone offers a gas station, gift shop, small store and restaurant. The Shoshone Museum offers exhibits of local history and lore, the rich regional geology and natural history. Come see the Mammoth exhibit! A short walk from the village is a fascinating historical district. The homes carved into the caliche cliffs harken to the mining era of Death Valley.
Please note that we are located in a rural area and are a 1/2 hour from a grocery store. Our little general store does have a few groceries and ready-to-eat food items but if you plan to cook please do your shopping before you arrive to make sure you have what you need for your meals.
