Notes from the host
The Goat Desert Experience
Nestled at the base of Goat Mountain and on the edge of town, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home is the Greatest Of All Time Desert Experience - the quintessential desert retreat. The vast expanse of uninhabited Mojave Desert lands to the north instills feelings that the desert is truly yours alone. Upon entry into the property through the automatic gate, guests will have access to the entire 4.5-acre property. Fully enclosed with a fence for your safety and security.
The space
SLEEPING:
The home offers accommodation for up to 10 people, with a queen bed in the spacious master suite, a queen bed in the junior suite and two twin beds in each of the two additional bedrooms. Two roll-out twin beds are also available. The home features three full restrooms: one in the master suite, one in the junior suit and one next to the family room. A heating and cooling system will keep the inside of the home comfortable year-round.
KITCHEN & DINING:
The kitchen features a coffee bar and standard amenities such as full range, refrigerator with water filter, ice machine, blender, toaster, pots, pans, bakeware, and spice rack. Cook up your meals on the backyard grill or in the kitchen and dine wherever you choose - the back patio, backyard picnic tables, countertop and bar top or in the dining room.
FAMILY ROOM & GREAT ROOM:
Next to the kitchen is the great room, which is fantastic for relaxing to music on the retro record player. Cozy up on the sofas in the family room to end the day streaming a show on the 65” Roku flat screen. For the guests that would like to work remotely, there is a fast Wi-Fi connection and there are two built-in desks in the family room and another desk in the master bedroom.
THE OUTDOORS:
Enjoy the high desert vistas while relaxing around the property. Start the day off early by catching the sunrise on the patio with a hot cup of coffee. Hiking is literally right out the front door, either within the property, on the BLM land north of the property, or go for a hike to the top of neighboring Goat Mountain. Hang out at the Saloon (on the property) and play games of darts or horseshoes. Wind down during the night with a glass of wine and take in the open night skies on the hammocks or around the fire pit. Even the untrained stargazer can grow their astronomy skills with the ease of the provided telescope.

Soak in the new 7 seat hot tub all year long to enjoy the outdoor experience: heat up the hot tub during cooler seasons or drop its temperature to chill out in the hot summer months.
