Desert meets Mediterranean experience

Nestled in the valley of Morongo and with a unique view of the San Jacinto mountains, La Rodinara is the perfect place to let your spirit free, connect with nature and enjoy a new kind of high desert adventure. Just a short 20 min drive to Palm Springs and 20 min to the Joshua Tree National Park, La Rodinara is perched on 5 acres of lush desert vegetation. The ideal retreat for families and couples looking to get away and enjoy the experience - from nature, hiking, to restaurants and nightlife.

THE SPACE
Enter inside this open-plan living area, designed with bohemian desert and modern touches that really make you feel one with the desert experience. Plenty of large windows allows to relish with daylight and views from every part of the home. La Rodinara was intended to disconnect - enjoy a variety of board games, Bocci balls, Vinyl record player and wireless speaker, yoga mats, and a projector with Fire TV / Streaming app.

Fully unwind within minutes and adventure outside to endless possibilities. From hiking as soon as you step outside, to sitting by the fireplace as you watch the ever-changing sky's colors from sunrise to sunset. And dare yourself to an outdoor morning shower overlooking the San Jacinto right in the middle of the desert mesquite.
