Two king bedrooms, and one you sleep in outside.

Stargaze sleeps four across two king bedrooms — both indoors, both comfortable, both yours. And when the night is warm and the sky is clear, there's a third place to lie down that no one forgets.

The two king rooms

Each bedroom has a king bed and the same mid-century calm as the rest of the house — clean lines, warm light and quiet once the desert settles. With one room for each couple, the house suits two pairs travelling together or a small family that wants space to spread out. There's a single bathroom, so it's an easy home for four who know each other.

The car bed, under the open sky

Out in the gravel courtyard sits a restored 1950s car with a real bed where the seats used to be. It has a custom stargazing roof that can be pulled back, so the bed opens to the sky and you can watch the stars come out. It works in the cool of the evening and through the night — just bring a blanket, because desert nights turn cold fast, even in summer. It's the signature of the house.

Sleeping well in the desert

The house is air-conditioned for the hot season and quiet at night — this is rural, dark-sky country, and once the sun's down the loudest thing you'll hear is the wind. For how the rooms sit relative to the rest of the house, see the layout; for the full run of photos, the gallery.
