Virtual Tour
Surrounded by hundreds of acres of pristine wildlands, Le Haute Desert Aerie offers long views from Mt. Gorgonio to the Eastern Mojave and a supremely sublime refuge from the stresses of urban life. We are committed to sustainability and proud to be completely off the grid with all of our electricity generated by state-of-the-art solar panels.

Accommodations
We offer two Airstreams with eating and sleeping areas and large decks suitable for open-air gatherings. The large Airstream has a helicopter propeller blade bar and a jacuzzi perfect for stargazing. We also offer two Hemingway-esque, white cotton safari-style tents tucked between rock formations. They are furnished with Indonesian carved headboards and handmade bedside tables, crafted from post-fire Joshua Trees that the creator of this desert estate built after a local fire. The tents have front porches with pergolas also made from post-fire scavenged Joshua Trees. View more photos.

Bathrooms
The first of our two full bathrooms is in a converted metal shipping container with a shower that opens up to splendid views of Mt. Gorgonio. The other is a hand-built stone bathhouse with a lovely open-sky shower and walls crafted from local stone and repurposed glass. The bathhouse is one of the most sublime spots in the Mojave Desert for campers.

The Art Barn
The Art Barn is a great place to hang out in the shade and get creative! It has been used as an artist studio and gathering place for music and celebrations.

The Monastery
The Monastery was built by hand from desert stone by the owner and is a must for anyone looking for quiet contemplation.

Reviews
"So much to do and see here including a hike to the monastery Eric built on the little mountain behind their home and many others all over the property. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a spiritual or retreat / getaway experience. Oh, and the outdoor boulder shower by the nomad tents is sooooo nice! It will make you never want to shower indoors again." ~ Vikki, June 2020 via Air B&B
