If your vacation goal is unplugging, enjoying stunning mountain sunsets, and immersing yourself in the beauty of the desert, you will love it here. This home is intentionally remote and perfect for guests seeking peace, privacy, and wide-open mountain and desert views.

So glad you enjoyed the property and found it exactly as described! My apologies that your kids were hopeful for a hot tub & disappointed. We do not have or advertise a hot tub in our listing or in photos, as we have never had one. Thank you so much for staying! We appreciate it. Best, Angela
The house is so comfortable and welcoming - we loved every minute of it!
Angela was so quick to answer all my questions and went above and beyond to accomodate us. The location is picture perfect and the last few miles to the house on the unpaved road just added to the feel of getting away from it all!!
Thanks again for the hospitality,
Lou

Thank you so much for the kind review, Lou! It was a pleasure to host your stay. You were a truly kind, courteous and wonderful guest. I hope you will one day visit again! Have a wonderful summer! Best, Angela :)
Absolutely wonderful! Incredible views and plenty of space to ourselves. The last 4 miles are extremely hilly but well worth the drive if you aren’t coming back to the property several times per day. Inside the house has comfortable furniture and a great kitchen. Absolutely no complaints!
Loved the home. Views were amazing. Host was very responsive to any questions we had.
