### Music Cottage on the Pond

This 2 bedroom 2 bath house , by the edge of a lake, sits on a 20 acre oasis in the Mojave Desert. The shared lake is perfect for fishing , swimming, using one of the pedal boats or just floating around. There is a labyrinth which is there to walk morning or night. The ranch is only for visitors and not open to the public.  
The space  
There are keyboards, an antique organ, drums and bells. They are not suitable for children to play with. The antiques and oriental rugs add to the ambiance. It is peaceful and serene.  
Guest access  
There is a lily pond right outside the entrance. This is another feature that is not good for children, but does add to the peaceful atmosphere.  
Other things to note  
If you are looking for that get-away, a sabbatical. or a place for creative support, this is it.
