Gamebird Oasis- Take a Load Off Friends!

Nothing ordinary. Our home sits at the intersection of spacious & cozy, quirky & practical, spiritual & hedonistic. Imagine laughing by the fire, BBQing, playing cornhole, sunset toasting on swings with a Mt. Charleston backdrop & stargazing/ moongazing. An array of culinary gadgets, spices, & outdoor appliances will inspire your inner chef. Upgrade your experience to enjoy the HEATED pool. Or let it be your base to explore Death Valley! Once a lake, now a Desert Oasis. Create your story! The space The house is an open concept with vaulted ceilings. You enter into a spacious living room that comfortably seats up to 14. A huge kitchen, open to the living room, can accommodate 10 around the kitchen bar or 6 around the nook. For a more formal experience, there is an attached dining space for up to 8 with a hutch that holds china from several generations. Off the living room, there is a closet that contains extra jackets, stocking caps, and gloves, in case you underestimated how cold desert nights can be. There is sporting and workout equipment (weights, bench, yoga mats, jump ropes, tennis, and pickleball racquets), and games (poker set, some board games, and Pahrumpopoly if curious about the history of Pahrump)! The space has several windows and natural light. The hallway closet includes a large closet with extra bedding and blow-up beds (for additional guests). At times, it served conveniently as a private office space. You will find a shelf that extends from the rest, which creates a handy desk. Past the hallway to the left is the “second bedroom,” with a floorplan originally designed for two. A fabric divider and storage cubicles create privacy for both spaces. One side of the room has a queen-sized bed, and the other has two full-size futons. You could comfortably fit 4 kiddos on the two futons. The bay windows on both sides look out to Mount Charleston and the well-manicured front yard. This space connects to the second bathroom with a standup shower. On the other side of the hall is a huge master bedroom with a strong “Tex-consin” influence. Warning: this room may cause nightmares for Vikings or Bears fans. We left a little bit of our history and personality on the built-in shelves., a differentiator from a dull hotel. The master flows into an enormous bathroom with two sinks, a large counter space, several cabinets and drawers containing what you may have forgotten, a standing shower, and a bathtub good for washing dogs or small children. There is no way Calgon can take you away in this tub. A large window overlooks a 29-year-old rosebush in the backyard, and more mountains. In this space, a clothes rack with storage baskets is strategically placed in front of the master closet, which serves as a portal to another dimension. We feel obligated to keep this locked for your safety. Enter the backyard: you can get there from this bathroom or the more obvious door off the living room. You walk out to a tiled deck we have recently named “Fabrizio’s Landing,” after a close friend who meticulously laid new tiles to create an amazing space to eat, relax, and gather by the pool. Want to take a dip during cooler seasons or on desert-chill evenings? We have you covered - OUR POOL IS HEATED! Please inquire with your host about upgrading your experience and enjoying a toasty dip. Around the perimeter are mature palms that evoke a true oasis. A refreshing pool is set in the middle, perfect for floating in the afternoon sun. At night, the landscape lighting casts interesting shadows against the 6-foot perimeter wall while the pool glows and breathes different colors. Opposite the back bay windows sits the grill pad, where the elected chefs can choose their culinary muse: gas grill, Blackstone grill, deep fryer, or water smoker. This magical space is great for intimate and large gatherings and has all the amenities needed for a full day of activities, unwinding, and enjoyment. The tour ends in the front yard. Nestled within the pines is the fire pit surrounded by swings. It’s a perfect place to begin your day with a cup of coffee or wrap up with a sunset and moonrise toast. It is engineered to hold five swings (up to 3 people per swing) and is open to sunset views of Death Valley and moonrise views of Mt. Charleston. The sunset's reflection on Mt. Charleston on the other side creates a purple majesty. A fire will extend the evening. If you want even more, you’re welcome to s’more! Guest access All spaces that are not locked are for your use. We want you to make yourself at home. And there are less interesting items we need to store out of your way. The small room off the kitchen leads to a locked garage, and the master closet off the master bathroom is not accessible for your safety (as mentioned, it leads to a portal to a different dimension :) All items in the dining hutch are available for use but should be handled with extra care and never placed in the dishwasher. Other things to note HAVE PLANS TO HOST A LARGE PARTY? NEED MORE SPACE? WANT TO SWIM DURING COLDER SEASONS? Inquire about the back unit that sleeps an additional 6! It is a separate Airbnb, and depending on your trip dates, we can coordinate with a new host, Kalee, to help you book both places for your large party. Check out this awesome space! https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1368138271766084726?check_in=2025-03-14&check_out=2025-03-16&guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=4c55c37b-ced3-4c6e-bb96-42762ebd3e03 We can also customize your experience at our house. While our space is already set up to sleep 6, we could easily accommodate 8 or 9, depending on size. Ask your host! NOTE: A HANGING BED IS COMING SOON FOR THOSE WARMER NIGHTS! During colder seasons, we can turn the pool heater up. Speak to the host about preparing for this experience! Are you an outdoor chef? We have different types of outdoor cooking equipment that can be arranged per your request. The house can be a cozy experience where family and friends cook in and snuggle on the couches to watch a movie or become a place to celebrate with many. Want to enjoy a movie on the big screen in the backyard? Feel like a karaoke night? Want to roll out the industrial-sized frozen drink machine? Arrange ahead of time with your host!
