This Inn truly is a "western" style Territorial Craftsman building. The upstairs porch wraps completely around both wings, a visitor can walk all the way around the top floor of the Inn and enjoy 360 degree views of the mountains that rim this little valley. Two sides will give you the San Gorgonio Mountains, and Mount San Jacinto that looms over Palms Springs (in winter, these are trimmed in white snow), the other four sides show off the Pinto and Turtle Mountains to the North and the South, as well as the ascending 29 Palms Hwy going into Yucca Valley and beyond. All rooms upstairs are accessed by exterior doors from the porch.

Please click on "Albums" to see group photos of the Historic Morongo Valley Inn. So many of you have visited or passed through over the years that our family enjoyed it as our ranch headquarters. All those years you could see the work in progress, now it's a finished canvas. Ready for another century of service for some lucky person. Please click on "like" and "share".

Well, almost finished with the Morongo Valley Inn page. Please open the "Albums" to see more photos. Many of you may remember being here at one time or another over the past 4 decades, and it has been an ongoing project for us all these years. We feel our efforts helped to preserve this Historic Inn for another century ahead.

This kitchen was built by a Master Carpenter and Master Kitchen Builder, Daniel Haro. Wealthy clients used to wait up to a year for his well built cabinets. These cabinets were not built of oak and fashioned in early Craftsman style because it was popular, they were built to be "period" correct to the time that the Inn was remodeled, the early 1912 to 1918 time period. In the spirit of being historically correct in renovating, we both chose the craftsman style and used white oak, a wood that would have been available in California in that time frame. Granite was a popular choice back then, and so was black glazed Tile so both were chosen as was a porcelain covered cast iron sink. The pantry was the California Ice Cabinet, so we kept the integrity but brought it up to a new job. The root and ice cellar is still there, and the ironing board closet it still there, but it too has a new job....... a spice cabinet....original wood ironing board is in th old school house, for history sake. Oak bead board was chosen as it was popular in the early 1900s, as were the myriad of wood moulding and trims. The kitchen isn't big enough.....every body comes and visits and joins in cooking in this kitchen, we have bar stools tucked everywhere so they can sit while we cook. This kitchen housed a lot of love, it too is a happy room! And check out the mountain view from those windows.
