The Library at The Sea of Tranquility w/ Pool, Hot Tub & Outdoor Kitchen

The ultimate writer's & thinker's retreat. Impeccable attention to detail, great collection of books, steps away from the stunning shared swimming pool, hot tub, and outdoor kitchen at The Sea of Tranquility. Enjoy perfect quiet & solitude, or meet the host, who lives in the main house a few hundred yards away.

The Library is very private and separate from the rest of the compound. So you can either retreat or engage with others by the pool. There are lots of hikes in the hills behind the property, with miles and miles of government land as beautiful as anything in the park. Full kitchen, luxurious bathroom, with double shower and enormous separate bathtub.

Our evolving desert compound is located a mile & 1/2 up a dirt road, on 6 acres, adjoining 100s of acres of gov.t land. Nobody under 18 is allowed on the property. The pool and jacuzzi is 80 feet long. Ideal for soaking, sunbathing, and swimming laps. Pool area is clothing optional. Most go naked in the hot tub (which will be hot at sunset and into evening, year round.)

We try to cultivate an atmosphere of freedom, relaxation, creative community, and communion with nature. We get many return visitors and we have to remind ourselves some of our dearest friends were once guests. That said, we also enjoy and respect people’s right to a private experience. Please do the same.

There is a fire pit, but please only use if there is absolutely no wind and it’s not too hot and dry out. Bring your own wood.

Dreamy Little Getaway
We were looking forward to staying here! Lived up the the hype. This place is magical and it was our second vacation rental in two days and we chose it because the first half of our trip would be very busy and hoped we could unwind a bit there. We arrived a little later than we had hoped so it was a little hard to find the cabin because we couldn’t see. Recommend arriving before it’s gets dark and carefully reading the Tao’s directions. Our little Tesla did make it up the winding road, thankfully. The entire cabin is dreamy. We had hoped to stop by and pick up dinner but we didn’t plan out that out as well, luckily we had packed snacks so we could do a charcuterie and we were happy to find that there were plates and some nice glasses. We enjoyed the night sky and did a little star gazing and took some pictures. The tub is wonderful and I took full advantage of it. Wish we would have stayed longer to check out the books more so. The bed is comfortable and the ac works great! We did see other people who were staying but it wasn't weird at all. Would 10/10 recommend! No curtains on windows and sliding glass door doesn’t lock but wasn’t an issue for us, might be for some. Hope to be able to return. You can tell a lot of thought and love was put into making the cabin as charming as it is.
