Safari Tents
Our classic, Hemingwayesque, white cotton safari-style tents are tucked between rock formations and truly help you embrace the meaning of desert solitude. Both tents have front porches with pergolas made from post-fire scavenged Joshua Trees and are great for dining and stargazing. Inside you'll find beds with fresh, white cotton sheets, Indonesian carved headboards, and handmade post-fire scavenged Joshua Tree bedside tables. Throughout the property you'll see furniture and textiles collected over the course of our many years of world travel.

Reviews
"My friends and I decided to go to the desert during California's heat wave and thought we had made a mistake until we arrived at Eric and Lori's desert oasis. This place is a gem, pictures don't do it justice. The heat was never an issue because a cool breeze flows over the mountains and if anyone was ever too hot we would just go down to the spring fed pond which was a 5 minute walk. Our whole crew agreed that the pond was their favorite as it served as a private getaway spot to relax with a couple drinks on the paddle boards." ~ Isaiah, August 2020 |
"The lake [was] perfectly refreshing on hot afternoons and we spent the evenings cooking, watching the incredible sunsets and stars. There is a cooking area at the artbarn and airstream (BBQ) with a large terrace overlooking the space and also one down by the tents on the other side of the property. It was fun to switch up where we cooked and spent the evening hanging out." ~ Vikki, June 2020 via Air B&B |
