Hot Springs, Tiny House, Desert Retreat 718
This tiny house is not so tiny at 600 sq. ft. Light-filled and mid-century modern-appointed in a gorgeous hot springs retreat, situated on a lake and right across from the mineral pools. There are wonderful views of the sunrise over the mountains behind the lake, while egrets emerge and ducks stir from sleep and the black swan settles into his place under the oak tree. The desert wakes up and is bathed in sunlight while you enjoy a morning coffee on the patio before your first hot pool dip.

Peaceful hideaway by the lake.
Spoil yourself with this brand new 1-bedroom, 1-bath desert gateway! Our house is located 15 feet away from the lake with a custom build deck. Our private backyard/patio allows you to unwind whilst watching sunrise or sundown with lakeside view. House contains lots of natural lighting with brand new appliances, two Samsung air conditioners for split system cooling, and two Smart Tvs with super fast wifi(228 MBS). Resort contains mineral hot spring pools, sport courts, walking trails, and more.
