"The decor in this two-bedroom modern retreat is a fun-loving blend of Native American and western kitsch (cowboy boots here, a tumbleweed over there) and eclectic artworks (like Amit Shimoni’s portrait of Gandhi wearing shades and tie-dye). Outside, you’ll find a hot tub and a pool, backed up by expansive desert wilderness where you might run into a roadrunner or coyote or stumble upon the odd abandoned homesteader cabin. But this isn’t exactly a place where you’ll be roughin’ it: You can contact your host to add in-home private kundalini yoga, a massage, a reiki healing session, or a sound bath to get into full Mojave Desert wellness mode." - Nicholas DeRenzo
