Summary:
Atop Pinon Ridge, on five acres of native high desert, High Desert Paradise runs like a boutique bed and breakfast: three suites, each with its own bathroom and its own door to the outside. The Sunrise Suite catches the morning over the mountains; the Casablanca Suite faces the sunset and steps straight out to the pool and hot tub. Between them sit a heated inner courtyard, a meditation dome, a yoga studio and a wood fire in the den. Friends together, with privacy built in.
The Space:
High Desert Paradise is a bright, spacious 3,200 sq ft home atop Pinon Ridge, with views across Yucca Valley and five acres of native high desert terrain. It is run like a boutique bed and breakfast: three suites each have a private bathroom and their own entrance to the property and the shared spaces. A swimming pool, a hot tub, a heated inner courtyard, a meditation dome and an indoor yoga studio give everyone room to relax, and the setting delivers big sunrises, sunsets and dark skies. It suits friends traveling together who value their own space. Pick your suite by the light you like to wake up to.
