Welcome to Mountain Shadow Hideaway. A beautiful vacation getaway for the desert enthusiast, located right off of Historic route 66! This five acre, fully fenced property, sits right at the base of the beautiful Newberry Mountain and boasts all the natural gifts the desert has to offer. You can relax and drink your coffee while enjoying the beautiful sunrise, or sip on your wine while enjoying the most spectacular sunset as the sun dips behind the mountain. Star gazers rejoice while marveling at what the night sky has to offer. Rock hounders can enjoy tons of natural geological wonders, while finding geodes, thundereggs, amethyst, and maybe even be lucky enough to find that elusive gold nugget. There are sixty trees lining the back of the property where you can go sit and read and just disappear from the hustles of life. To learn more about our quiet little town, please continue reading. You won't be disappointed! We hope you choose us for your next awesome Route 66 vacation! Newberry Springs, California is a very small peaceful town located off of Historic Route 66, also known as the "Mother Road". It is most famously known for our groves of pistachios and the famous Baghdad Cafe which was featured in the 1987 film Baghdad Cafe. Our property happens to be 1.5 miles from the famous Baghdad Cafe which makes a quick visit to the Cafe incredibly convenient. To celebrate our Pistachios, come join us the first Saturday of every November for our Pistachio Festival which boasts lots of vendors, food, and fun! Speaking of festivals, if you like large firework shows in the sky, then you'll want to be sure to book a spot here every July 3rd for our big 3rd of July Festival which again, is home to lots of vendors, food, fun and an amazing firework display which we happen to have front row seats to. You won't have to worry about parking if you're already here! Do you love celestial events? If so, you'll want to book a site here between July 17th and August 24th for the 2025 year, to witness the Perseids Meteor Shower. Our night skies are also one of the best views for many Space X launchings as well as just simply stargazing. Some people have even been able to capture beautiful pictures of the Milky Way from our humble little town!For some fantastic eats made with high quality food and very reasonable prices, travel to the nearby town of Daggett, just 15 miles away to The Desert Springs Bar and Grill! We have a lot more information and destinations in mind, so feel free to ask what our property and this quaint town has to offer!

Such a great place with the best hosts! Had absolutely no issues getting in and set up. Jacob & Jeanette left a pile of firewood for me and offered up ice or anything else I needed. After getting trapped in Afton Canyon for a very long day (but making it back after nightfall) both hosts checked in on me that night and in the morning. It was so nice knowing I had some people caring about my wellbeing and knowing where I was on my solo travel incase anything went sideways. Also, Jacob met me with a thunder egg he cut open for me and rockhounded himself right behind their property! Nothing makes me happier than a dog or a cool rock 🤘🏽 love this place and definitely need to come back as there is so much to explore in the area

Wonderful hosts who live on a gorgeous piece of desert property! I was enthusiastically greeted at the gate after a long day of driving, which was very much appreciated. Jacob showed me to my site and gave me the lay of the land. I arrived just in time for a gorgeous sunset, and after sunset, the stars - wow! It was a quiet and peaceful night. We woke up early and took a nice walk around the property. The hosts were extremely friendly to my rather rambunctious dogs who mean well… (sorry about the spilled coffee!). Thank you very much for a peaceful stay at a beautiful place!

Great place! The hosts were amazing and helped my young son find some cool rocks and even cut open a geode for him. This is a perfect stopover if you are traveling through the desert .

Jacob & Jeanette went out of their way to ensure I felt safe and welcomed. Jacob even left me with a few awesome rocks / geodes!
