Hand painted Mexican tiles adorn the kitchen and bathrooms, and locally made Monterrey style doors, beds and side tables, Casa Desierto offers a rare opportunity to experience a bygone era of the California west.

A swimming pool surrounded by lounge chairs, umbrellas, and natural rocks with desert vegetation.
An outdoor patio area with a large wooden dining table surrounded by chairs, desert plants in pots, and a building with large windows and glass doors, during sunset.

This was the most glamorous home (and perhaps, the most most glamorous house, period) I've ever stayed in. As a designer, I deeply appreciated how every detail, even custom light switches, were carefully considered to make this place truly luxurious. It's hard to pick a favorite part but if I had to pick, I'd have to return again to the lighting: it's so rare that a place has dim-to-warm integrated LED lighting that transitions from bright white to a cozy, dim, amber glow.
