Stallion Springs Resort

At an elevation of 4000 ft and surrounded by mountains, this resort is part of a vacation/weekend getaway neighborhood 2 hrs northeast of Los Angeles and 40 min from Bakersfield airport. It’s a great base camp for someone interested in exploring the Mohave Desert, Sequoia National Forest, Death Valley and the eastern slope of the Sierra. Or it can be used for a low key relaxing vacation with golf, nature walks and bird watching all around you.

We are Easterners and were there during a cold weather week early April hoping for desert wildflowers. We found everything we were looking for but had to do a lot of driving including an overnight trip to Death Valley (make reservations). As mentioned by a previous reviewer, this is a birder’s paradise, including a nesting pair of great horned owls in the immediate neighborhood and the surrounding mountains provided great scenery.

The units are spacious, well appointed and clean featuring a large high ceiling living room with gas fireplace, all necessities, including a small but functional kitchen. Only 4 of the units have a good view but all have balconies. Cable TV but no high speed internet access. The forced hot air heating system was very effective but a little noisy.

If you go, make sure you call ahead and reserve a unit with a view. We traded our view of the hot tub/spa for a roadside unit with a sliver of mountain view. We did not participate in any social gatherings but most of our neighbors seemed fifty something from the US, Canada and Europe. None of them were owners. Eating out was no problem although Tehachapi has few attractions beyond its railroad loop, wind farm and women’s prison.

The Stallion Springs resort is situated in a relaxing rural setting about 20 minutes from Tehachapi. Enjoy a cocktail on your patio while watching majestic elk, deer and other wildlife stroll through the community! The townhouses are nicely appointed with comfortable furnishings and amenities. Only 2 minutes to the world-famous Woodward West Sports camp make this a great retreat for the sports minded guest(s). During your visit, be sure to check out the Tehachapi train loop,a popular historic site, several award-winning wineries, and the quaint downtown Tehachapi Mainstreet which is a short distance from the hotel. Whether you’re traveling for business, pleasure or both, Stallion Springs Resort is sure to make your visit to Tehachapi one worth remembering.
