Silver Saddle Ranch & Club
Wide open California — a ranch property on the high desert floor
A place to stay in California City
Silver Saddle Ranch & Club sits in California City, a planned desert community in Kern County roughly 100 miles north of Los Angeles. The property draws a steady mix of travellers who want space and quiet surroundings rather than a standard roadside motel. With a guest rating of 4.3/5 across 289 reviews, it holds up reasonably well for the area. California City itself is not a resort destination, so what the Ranch & Club delivers is a grounded, no-frills alternative to chain hotels along the Mojave corridor.

Desert ranch setting
California City sits at around 2,300 feet on the Mojave Desert floor. The Ranch & Club property fits that landscape — open sky, dry air, and a sense of space that suburban hotel corridors rarely give you.
Character over cookie-cutter
The ranch-and-club concept puts this property apart from the standard motel stock in the region. Guests arriving from the highway will find a distinctly western-inflected character rather than a generic roadside room.
Across 289 reviews, Silver Saddle Ranch & Club holds a 4.3/5 guest rating — a consistent result for an independent desert property. No single theme dominates the feedback available, but the score suggests the property meets expectations for travellers choosing it deliberately over chain alternatives in the California City area.
