Murphy bed is located in the living room where there are no blackout curtains so expect to wake up to a beautiful desert sunrise.

[TUBS CURRENTLY OPEN] Cowboy tubs are closed during winter and will re-open in late spring when temperatures warm up again. Only cold water is available at the cowboy tubs.

There is just about 0.5 mile of dirt road to get to the property; 4-wheel drive vehicle is not necessary.

The desert is a magnificent place but if you’re unfamiliar with this landscape, it’s also dusty, surrounded by beautiful cacti, and home to a plethora of local wildlife, especially bugs. Our property sees daily visits from coyotes, Jack rabbits, road runners, and occasionally, snakes and bobcats. Please respect the wildlife and admire them from a distance.
