About this property

Modern Getaway with Community Pool near Golf, Boating & Gorge Concerts!

Feel the calm set in as you step onto the patio and take in the mountain views.

Go for a round of golf in the morning, then head out for a day of boating on the Columbia, more like a lake then a river in this area. Or just soak up the sun by the community pool (SEASONAL Memorial Day - Labor Day).

In the evening take in a concert at the Gorge, or just relax by the fire pit.

Desert Sky House is in the best part of Desert Aire with close proximity to the pool, golf, pickleball, boat launch & park.

We have an exterior security camera on the garage facing the driveway, and an exterior doorbell camera at the front door.

Winter get-away for Thanksgiving

We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful, comfortable, and well-equipped home and the surrounding area for our small Thankgiving gathering. Our host Michele went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed to relax with family. Easy walking distance to the clubhouse and the Priest Rapids Wildlife/Recreation area. Quick drive to wine tasting at the Gingko Forest Winery in Mattawa and to the Crab Creek- Rocky Ford Recreation area. Perfect long weekend trip!

Perfect family getaway

This is one of the nicest houses we've stayed in through VRBO. The pictures are spot-on. It was very very clean, well stocked, we needed nothing. Perfect layout for our family as everyone had their own room. The only thing this house needs is a pool/spa and fencing. Otherwise it's perfect. Michele is a great host! Kept us informed on everything. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Michele

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 (myself, husband and 2 kids). We live in Maple Valley, WA, on the west side of the state. We absolutely love the water, so our 2 properties are in areas that allow us to spend as much time as possible in and near the water. We have a property in Surf City, North Carolina, and this is our newest property here in Desert Aire, WA. This is our vacation home, but we want to share it with others when we aren't using it.

Why they chose this property

We have always vacationed in eastern WA during the summers to be able to enjoy the beautiful, quiet lakes, but with the benefit of hot weather. We started going to Desert Aire several years ago when our friends bought a place. Desert Aire has 300 days of sunshine a year, the spring, summer and fall are warm and the community is on the Columbia River (Priest Rapids Lake), which is a wide, calm lake in this area. The community also has a PGA rated golf course, pool, playground, work out facility and trails along the water. And all surrounded by the stunning beauty of the area.

What makes this property unique

Desert Sky House is a brand new custom home, with four bedrooms. Two things that make this home stand out are the huge double sliders leading to the back patio, and the views that you can see from them. The home has 4 bedrooms, so is a larger home in the area. Its in a beautiful part of Desert Aire, on a 1/2 acre lot, within close proximity to the River, Golf Course, Pool and all of the amenities that the community has to offer.
