The space
You get the whole place to yourselves when you stay.

Designed for indoor/outdoor living, the space is small and intimate, meant to celebrate the stark desert environment. You feel the intensity of the sun and wind, hear it when it rains, and experience the quiet solitude of the dark, starry sky; all from the comfort of your Air conditioned or heated Pod. And when it's great weather, turn off the heat or AC and open the widow walls to create the conditions of sleeping outside, but with a roof.

A great experience for families and kids of all ages.
