Established in 1884, Highland Springs Ranch & Inn (formerly known as Highland Springs Resort) is Riverside County’s first historical landmark. The property encompasses 2400 acres and is comprised of an organic farm, restaurant, inn and camp. Formerly a stagecoach stop, the ranch was frequented by such historical celebrities as Wyatt Earp, Ernest Hemingway and Albert Einstein.
