In the dramatic desert landscape of Araby Cove, this little rustic gem could almost be mistaken for part of the rocky hillside. But is that a chimney we spy? And aren’t those sun loungers? A round cottage, built from stone, it’s cosy and cute. Perched on a hilltop, the views from the yard and the huge picture-frame window at the heart of the living space are simply breathtaking. Inside, the stone walls and circular wooden ceiling ooze boho chic. The four-poster bed, tucked into one side, provides a luxurious sleeping nook and candles in the stone fireplace add a touch of romance. The cottage-style kitchen is compact but has everything you could need. Besides, there's a barbecue and dining area on the patio for meals under the desert stars. The area is said to be a ‘wind free zone’, with great hiking and mountain bike trails on the doorstep, and Palm Springs is just a short drive away.
