This bright and breezy home is the perfect place to recharge your creative juices, enjoy the hottub, watch the sun go down or look up at the stars. This colorful & eclectic retreat is the perfect place to relax and recoup. Take in the stunning mountain views and the vast desert floors. It features a king-size bed in the master bedroom, a steam shower and a soaker tub in the master bathroom, a queen-size bed in the second bedroom that is right next to the second bathroom which features a tub/shower combo, a perfectly located hot tub, an amazing outdoor shower, a gas outdoor firepit and an indoor wood burning stove.
