Loved our time here :)

Awesome place to stay for us to stay while a group of us were in town for a concert. The kitchen was fully equipped, each room was clean and comfortable, and check-in process was clear and simple. Thank you so much for making us feel at home!

Beautiful home with ample space and very comfortable for two couples in town to see music at the Gorge (40 min. drive away). Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Great communication from host. Wonderful VRBO experience.

About the host

Hosted by Geoff & Kristine Niemi

We are 2nd generation owners in Desert Aire. We love spending our time in Desert Aire and wanted to share our home with you. There are over 300 days of sunshine here!

Why they chose this property

We have been going to Desert Aire since the late 1980's with Kristine's family. This is the 2nd property her family has owned. We love the proximity to the water and the golf course. The community park and pool are awesome too! We love the convenience of the small market, gas station, coffee shop and the town of Mattawa just minutes away.
The fact that we can get here in just a couple of hours from home and just play and unwind is a bonus! WE
