The Pioneertown Motel - Or the West, Would Never Rest

Pioneertown is an unincorporated village which started as a live-in Old West motion picture set, built in the 1940s. The movie set was designed to provide a place for the actors to live and a number of Westerns and early television shows were filmed in Pioneertown. Roy Rogers, Dick Curtis, and Russell Hayden were among the original developers and investors and they built the Pioneertown Lodge in 1946 as part of a set.

The 18-room lodge is at a 4,200 foot elevation which keeps it cooler than the lower desert areas like Palm Springs. Rooms are decorated in rustic cowboy style with names like the Annie Oakley and the John Wayne. Motel includes 17 corrals, one-bedroom manager's quarters, antique wagons on over three acres.
