Small home, big views and serene environment. Bring your beloved for a romantic getaway or make it a solo escape to reset or simply be. Far enough from town to wonder where you are but close enough to drive to Casino Morongo for spa or dinner or head to Palm Springs for Tram and shopping. Or just stick around and enjoy the peace and quiet, listening for the occasional train whistle coming up the canyon, a hooting barn owl or howling coyote.
Totally outfitted for modern living; indoor/outdoor shower, enough kitchen gadgets to get you by, cozy full-sized bed, and most importantly, coffee maker.
There is a main house on the property a good distance away and your privacy is completely respected.
The property used to be a peach packing farm way back long time ago. And before that, the Pass Cahuilla Native Americans inhabited the land.
There are also RV hookups right next to the pod if you want to bring yours to allow up to four people.
Please! Absolutely No Fires

Weekend Trip to Fort Bailey Private Desert Estate
The tiny house is a wonderful getaway. Wide open skies, with great views of the desert and mountains. The tiny house is provided with all the amenities needed for a weekend getaway. The pictures are accurate, and the place is cozy. The owner was very responsive via text. The price was appropriate and overall a good value.
