Summary: The bunkhouse was a sweet desert retreat for us! It was delightfully appointed with so many southwestern touches and unique furniture accent pieces! And the view from the porch was excellent! With hills on the horizon and stark/ dramatic desert foliage in the foreground! Loved it! And the hostess- Carmela was charming! Thanks for sharing your corner of a desert treasure!!
