Astra House evolved from our cherished time spent in the high desert. The original 1950s homestead cabin has been transformed into a modern, light filled dwelling. Designed with a natural palate that invites the beautiful desert landscape in, Astra house allows you to roam freely inside and out. With direct views of Goat Mountain to its north and endless desert views from the backyard, the house has been transformed to feel private while still open to the landscape within the 5-acre lot.

The Indoors
Astra House is a beautiful 2 bedroom (each with its own queen bed) + 1 bathroom home created with the intention to share our love of the desert with our world traveling guests. You will find an open layout and chefs kitchen equipped with stove top, oven, Corian counter tops, stainless steel appliances and large island. The living room has a TV with DVDs for cozy movie nights and a record player to sit back and relax with your friends and family. The large light-filled bathroom comes equipped with large walk-in shower and oversized rainfall shower head and water efficient toilet. Please note that the wifi can be a little spotty here at times due to its remote location.

The Outdoors
We have all of your outdoor amenities covered! Hot tub, outdoor shower, hammocks, swinging chairs and views from every angle. Enjoy a BBQ under an ambient lit canopy or stargazing by a propane fire pit, we look forward to hosting your next relaxing desert stay and helping to create a lifetime of fun desert memories. You are welcome to head out the front door and start a morning hike right to the top of famous Goat Mountain! We have also recently added an EV charger for guests with electric vehicles.
