The ultimate writer's & thinker's retreat. Impeccable attention to detail, great collection of books, steps away from the stunning shared swimming pool, hot tub, and outdoor kitchen at The Sea of Tranquility. Enjoy perfect quiet & solitude, or meet the host, who lives in the main house a few hundred yards away.

The Library is very private and separate from the rest of the compound. So you can either retreat or engage with others by the pool. There are lots of hikes in the hills behind the property, with miles and miles of government land as beautiful as anything in the park. Full kitchen, luxurious bathroom, with double shower and enormous separate bathtub.

Our evolving desert compound is located a mile & 1/2 up a dirt road, on 6 acres, adjoining 100s of acres of gov.t land. Nobody under 18 is allowed on the property. The pool and jacuzzi is 80 feet long. Ideal for soaking, sunbathing, and swimming laps. Pool area is clothing optional. Most go naked in the hot tub (which will be hot at sunset and into evening, year round.)

We try to cultivate an atmosphere of freedom, relaxation, creative community, and communion with nature. We get many return visitors and we have to remind ourselves some of our dearest friends were once guests. That said, we also enjoy and respect people’s right to a private experience. Please do the same.

There is a fire pit, but please only use if there is absolutely no wind and it’s not too hot and dry out. Bring your own wood.
