Although located on a remote four acres, the House is less than a mile from the "downtown" of Flamingo Heights – one of the hottest up-and-coming areas in the High Desert. You can bask in the tranquility and deck views with a glass of wine OR take a stroll to La Copine (our 4-star, New York Times-reviewed restaurant), Moon Wind Trading (the boho/desert chic clothing store) and Giant Rock Meeting Room (a pizza and wine bar with live music most weekends).
I am a local host. Thanks for not supporting out-of-town investors who are displacing our community. xoxo
BED & BATH
The House is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home, each room controlled by its own heating and A/C unit. It can comfortably accommodate 4 people in the 2 queen beds and 1 additional memory-foam sofa pulls out into a full bed in the living room, if needed, for a child or extra friend.
It has one bathroom with a shower/bathtub combo, plenty of drawers, and lots counter space.
KITCHEN & DINING
The kitchen is fully stocked with a complete set of pots and pans, baking sheets, bowls, knife set, gas stove, French-door fridge, and even a pasta maker. The water in the house is filtered by reverse osmosis and softened with a Rainsoft water system. The dining table comfortably seats 4 and can be extended to 6 for larger meals with two more seats.
Outside on the patio, a Weber 3-burner propane grill and a small table are waiting for al fresco dining.
OFFICE & LIVING SPACES
The House features a 64" 4K television with upgraded sound and premium streaming: Netflix, HBO, Max, Hulu, Disney+ and Criterion Channel.
The House is built for remote work or schooling in mind and has 2 desks/workspaces. There's an office area which includes a Dell monitor to plug in your laptop for use as a second monitor.
The other is workspace doubles as a vanity space with a bench, tucked away for privacy in a bedroom.
The House internet is Starlink – the fastest internet available in the high desert – and at 200+ mpbs it's comparable to city speeds.
READING NOOK
Flip through David Lynch's "Catching the Big Fish" while taking a gander at Trent Harris' "The Beaver Trilogy." The reading nook has a bookshelf full of creative books – fiction, non-fiction, motivational and inspirational, theoretical film theory and practical film production. It's next to the vintage 50's TV and VCR.
OUTDOOR SPACES
Be sure to enjoy incredible views from the front deck during your stay!
The deck lines the full length of the house and overlooks an expansive view of the desert. (Flamingo Heights is on a hill.) There is an outdoor love seat and chairs, perfect for lounging with a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. Yoga & exercise mats are provided so you can stretch out in the morning or after a hike in one of the many surrounding wilderness areas.
The backyard patio area is fenced and private. There is a table for outside dining for 4. The hot tub has unobstructed views of the night sky, as do the two hammocks (if you'd prefer to stay dry).
NEIGHBORHOOD
This is a dirt-road, rural area that is accessible by any vehicle. There are a few grocery markets and a dollar store so in a pinch you don't have to drive the 10 mins into town.
The location was perfect for what we had planned. The nicely curated home was comfy and efficient!
This place is super cool, Everything we needed and more! The home is easy to get to with Beautiful views all around! We will definitely stay here again!
We stayed there with 2 nine year old kids for 3 nights and we had a blast. The house is perfect, super nicely located surrounded by mountains. Everything was impeccable in the house. A gourmet kitchen, super comfy beds and the hot tub was La cerise sur le Sundae! BBQ was great too…brand new! I do not have any complaints to write. Our only issue was that we should have booked 7 nights instead of 3. Great place to get away from your work. The owner was super efficient to respond to emails, and always wanted to make our stay confortable. It’s the best bargain on all VrBO after looking at every house online. Thank you.
