Beauty and Comfort
Windows everywhere, the beauties of the desert surround you while you enjoy the comforts of home-plus-spa. We used the lovely outdoor shower most of the time, with or without a trip to the hot tub.
Instructions (and flashlights) are provided for navigating power outages in this rural area. When I lost internet, contacting management was a challenge, with one intermittent bar on my cell phone.

Wonderful home with beautiful views
This is great location, a mile outside the park's West Entrance, with breathtaking views of the surrounding desert and mountains. The home is very well appointed, clean and very comfortable. We will be back again!
