You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The GOAT Desert Experience

Nestled at the base of Goat Mountain and on the edge of town, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home is the Greatest Of All Time Desert Experience - the quintessential desert retreat. The vast expanse of uninhabited Mojave Desert lands to the north instills feelings that the desert is truly yours alone. Upon entry into the property through the automatic gate, guests will have access to the entire 4.5-acre property. Fully enclosed with a fence for your safety and security.
The space
SLEEPING:
The home offers accommodation for up to 10 people, with a queen bed in the spacious master suite, a queen bed in the junior suite and two twin beds in each of the two additional bedrooms. Two roll-out twin beds are also available. The home features three full restrooms: one in the master suite, one in the junior suit and one next to the family room. A heating and cooling system will keep the inside of the home comfortable year-round.

KITCHEN & DINING:
The kitchen features a coffee bar and standard amenities such as full range, refrigerator with water filter, ice machine, blender, toaster, pots, pans, bakeware, and spice rack. Cook up your meals on the backyard grill or in the kitchen and dine wherever you choose - the back patio, backyard picnic tables, countertop and bar top or in the dining room.

FAMILY ROOM & GREAT ROOM:
Next to the kitchen is the great room, which is fantastic for relaxing to music on the retro record player. Cozy up on the sofas in the family room to end the day streaming a show on the 65” Roku flat screen. For the guests that would like to work remotely, there is a fast Wi-Fi connection and there are two built-in desks in the family room and another desk in the master bedroom.
THE OUTDOORS:
Enjoy the high desert vistas while relaxing around the property. Start the day off early by catching the sunrise on the patio with a hot cup of coffee. Hiking is literally right out the front door, either within the property, on the BLM land north of the property, or go for a hike to the top of neighboring Goat Mountain. Hang out at the Saloon (on the property) and play games of darts or horseshoes. Wind down during the night with a glass of wine and take in the open night skies on the hammocks or around the fire pit. Even the untrained stargazer can grow their astronomy skills with the ease of the provided telescope. Even the untrained stargazer can grow their astronomy skills with the ease of the provided telescope. Soak in the new 7 seat hot tub all year long to enjoy the outdoor experience: heat up the hot tub during cooler seasons or drop its temperature to chill out in the hot summer months.

Diamond in the Desert
Honestly, this property exceeded all expectations. Clean, expansive property, BLM land for fun right behind the property, saloon, darts, horse shoes, and up to date technology throughout the house. This place is a desert diamond. Thanks for sharing your place!

Always a great escape!
It has been my third time staying at this vacation rental, and all I can say is that I will never leave disappointed. The host, Neyva, is super kind and hospitable. The vacation rental is clean and spotless. It has so much space for the family to be comfortable and lounge. We book this rental due to the proximity of riding trails for SxS and outdoor hikes. We enjoy the peaceful and relaxing outdoor ambiance this rental has in the area it’s located.

Amazing stay and service! Best hospitality!
This vacation rental was absolutely impeccable! Neyva was an amazing host! She was quick with communication and answered all the questions we had. She was very kind and helpful throughout our whole stay. The location of this vacation property is amazing, with stunning views of the desert and easy access to off roading trails! We brought our family to enjoy rides on our side by side and it was so much fun! This rental has all the best features and amenities for the kitchen, spa, guest rooms, and outdoors, we had such a cozy and relaxing stay! Definitely coming back soon!

Great stay!
My friends and I had a great stay here. We were able to get some off-roading in off the property and had a great time in the beautiful home. This host was very accommodating and everything was great. Very highly recommend this stay and we hope to be able to stay here in the future.

Amazing Desert Experience with City Lifestyle
It was our spring break and we were looking for a unique place to spend our weekend and luckily we found Neyva’s property adjacent to Goat Mountain and we got exactly what we were looking for peace and tranquility. The home had nice theme, spacious, super clean, and everything was in perfect working condition, be it Hottub, BBQ Grill, FirePit ( with enough woodlogs ), Telescope was added bonus for us to watch the beautiful sky in the night. Neyva was super responsive and even she accommodated last minute early check-in, even though this property is remote but felt safe because of the fences. We will definitely come back if we get another opportunity. Thank you Neyva for being an amazing host.

HIGH DESERT GETAWAY
Everything was as advertised - clean, comfortable, quiet, well-appointed place. Hiking to the top of Goat Mountain (and enjoying a beer in the hot tub afterward) is worthwhile.
