Beside it, the built-in spa provides a warm place to unwind at the end of the day, with complimentary heating available upon request.



A private sauna, outdoor bathtub, outdoor shower and elevated yoga deck create a serene wellness experience in the middle of the desert. Spend the afternoon lounging beside the pool, practice yoga with a mountain view, then gather around the propane fire pit as the sun disappears behind the surrounding ridgelines. The property also includes a propane BBQ and generous outdoor space for relaxing beneath the wide-open sky. Because Morongo Valley can experience strong winds, pool umbrellas are not provided.



-Living Area-

The inviting living area blends modern desert style with comfortable furnishings and thoughtful pops of color. It is an easy place to gather after a day in Palm Springs or Joshua Tree, whether you are settling in for a movie, sharing drinks or planning the next day’s adventure. Three smart TVs provide access to streaming apps such as Netflix and Hulu using your own accounts. A dedicated workspace and satellite Wi-Fi are also available, although connection speeds may vary because of the home’s remote mountain setting. The detached guest suite offers another space to relax and play, complete with a pool table, loft and private bathroom.



-Kitchen & Dining-

The full kitchen is equipped with modern Café appliances, including a refrigerator, oven, stove and microwave. Cookware, pots, pans, dishes, cups and utensils are provided for preparing everything from a quick breakfast to a relaxed group dinner. The kitchen’s open, welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to cook together and enjoy slow mornings before heading out to explore. Coffee and basic starter supplies are provided.



A propane BBQ is available outside for grilling with the mountains as your backdrop. Please note that the former outdoor mini refrigerator has been removed, but the full-size indoor refrigerator remains available.

► Bedroom 2 features one king bed

► Bedroom 3 features one queen bed
