The gardens and outside space are stunning. Inside is tastefully decorated and the bedrooms are private and well stocked. We will be back!" - Kim "We were completely blown away! The house was gorgeous, even larger than we expected from the photos, with tons of space to explore and spend time together. Perfect for 10 guests! Close enough to town for quick trips to the grocery store, and also far enough from town that it felt like we were in our own little world! Easy check in, experienced host, awesome property. We loved it and hope to come back one day!!" - Clara --- Experience the magic of the high desert at The Desert Lily.
