Hot Springs, Tiny House, Desert Retreat 718
This tiny house is not so tiny at 600 sq. ft. Light-filled and mid-century modern-appointed in a gorgeous hot springs retreat, situated on a lake and right across from the mineral pools. There are wonderful views of the sunrise over the mountains behind the lake, while egrets emerge and ducks stir from sleep and the black swan settles into his place under the oak tree. The desert wakes up and is bathed in sunlight while you enjoy a morning coffee on the patio before your first hot pool dip.
