Hi! We're Danielle & Jim, and we can't wait to welcome you here. Desert Retreat isn't just a place to sleep—it's where memories happen. One mile from the boat launch, surrounded by endless trails, and built for the whole crew to come together.
Whether you're firing up the grill for a sunset dinner, launching the boat at sunrise, or just gathering everyone for an unforgettable weekend, this is your home base. We've stocked it with everything you need—boat parking, an outdoor kitchen, cozy beds, games, and the kind of space where laughter fills the rooms.
Summer chasing? Winter escaping? Just need to breathe? We've got you covered—and we're here to help make it perfect.
Come stay with us. Your adventure starts the moment you walk through that door. ❤️


This is the heart of Desert Retreat. Our covered gazebo isn't just a grill area—it's where your whole crew gathers. Fire up the professional grill for dinner, pull up those comfortable chairs, and watch the desert sunset while everyone laughs and reconnects.
The covered structure means you're grilling in summer heat or winter cool—year-round entertaining, no compromise. Add the fire pit for evening stories, the ambient lighting for that golden-hour glow, and suddenly you're not just feeding people, you're creating the kind of memories that last.
Whether it's a family reunion, friend getaway, or just your crew finally together again—this gazebo is where it all happens.
