What a unique way to begin our trip to see the Superbloom in Death Valley! It was so memorable to stay in the "Buffalo TeePee". You feel closer to the land & really hear all the sounds of nature such as owls hooting & the song of the coyotes. It's a comfortable cross between a hint of what it must have been like for the Indians on the prairie to the modern day convenience of waking up in a bed with a toasty electric warmer right in your TeePee. The rustic western-style Olancha Cafe greets you with wonderfully home-cooked meals as well. I highly reccomend this place to all for it's one-of-a-kind experience.

The units were actual house trailers, RVs, and teepees. We stayed in the "Deluxe Queen" room with kitchenette. It was fine, and the bed was very comfortable, but having the kitchen sink in the bathroom was a bit odd.

The property was up to par with expectations. I knew we were going into a tipi lodging which meant no sealed floors, no insulation, minimal comfort no restroom within the lodging itself. That being said, everything was great when working. The place can definitely get more loving from the owners/management, and the food when available from the cafe is pretty decent. It's not the cheapest but not the most expensive. Call ahead to see if the pool is ready before you book. When we went, none of the staff knew if the pool was ready for use.

What a fun adventure to stay in a Tipi! It was 35 degrees the night we stayed and with the heater and the blankets we slept well and were not cold. The staff are great, and the experience is memorable! I would highly recommend.

This is a very unique hotel experience in the desert, which I absolutely loved. The manager, Alice, was also the cook and waitress. She was so friendly, and we had great conversations during my stay. The room was recently renovated and was very comfortable. I liked the porch, where I could sit and look at the mountains and the desert. I kind of wish I stayed in a teepee.

Alice in the café was remarkably helpful and friendly. Tipi was a cool experience; clean & comfortable inside. Bathrooms are clean and close by. Food in the café is good and reasonably priced (for CA).
Pro-tip if your tipi has an evaporative cooler: ask for ice to put in it; it’ll cool the tipi right down.

Very pleasant place to stay
One of the electrical outlets didn't work, but a worker assisted me with a workaround for plugging in my CPAP. The room was clean and comfortable. The food at the Cafe was good. The hot water for the bathroom sink was very hot, so be careful with that.

The front desk person was wonderful! Friendly, welcoming and helpful! It was a little difficult to see the room number in the dark (we arrived late), but once we found it the room was great! Very clean, with everything you might need. The bed was super soft and my pillow felt like "home". Love the decor!!
