About this property
The Yellow Bench at Yuma
Welcome to Our Private Music Studio Casita Retreat
Experience the charm of our spacious, beautifully converted music studio—now a private casita oasis! This detached guest suite features its own entrance, off-street parking, and access to a newly re-plastered Pebble-Tec pool with a large Baja step perfect for lounging.
We’re centrally located—just 15 minutes from Algodones, Mexico—with parks, hiking trails, and bike paths nearby. Inside, you’ll find nearly 700 sqft. of living space (look at the pictures; it's not photoshopped to make t look large. IT IS...), a full bathroom, microwave, coffee station, and a VERY comfortable king bed, complete with board games and snacks.
Step outside to enjoy our expansive yard with five distinct seating areas, where you can listen to birds in the morning and stargaze under the desert sky at night. Sit by the wood burning fire pit during cooler months and engage in fun and laughter with family and friends. Grill your favorites with our gas grill.
Did you say PRIVACY?! When you book this casita, the entire property is yours. No one will be in the main house during your stay.
Come relax, unwind, and enjoy the serenity of your own private desert retreat.
