B E D R O O M S

Master Bedroom Upstairs Suite: King Bed + full bath + outdoor deck

Sunset Bedroom: Queen Bed + full bath

Stars Bedroom: Two Twin Beds + full bath in hallway

Each bedroom features its own full bathroom and is styled with curated art and plush, high quality linens. Every room is designed for deep rest and a true reset. The best part, wake each morning with a Nespresso in hand to impressive sunrises and wide open views of the San Jacinto Mountains, nature’s most elegant good morning.

L I V I N G R O O M

It’s the kind of place where you can queue up a favorite show, get lost in a good book, play a melody on the grand piano, open the double doors to welcome the desert breeze during meditation, or shuffle Gleb’s tarot deck to see what life has in store.

K I T C H E N & D I N I N G

The House of Light kitchen is fully stocked and designed for effortless entertaining, from smoothie-fueled mornings to unforgettable dinners under the stars. Blend something fresh in the Vitamix, brew your morning cup with the Nespresso, gather around the dining table for six, or linger at the open island with a built-in phone charger. It’s a space made for good food, great company, and memorable moments.

Prefer to fully relax? Leave the cooking to one of our trusted local private chefs—we’re happy to share our favorite recommendations.

B A T H R O O M S

Your stay includes access to three full bathrooms, each featuring walk-in showers, bath essentials, and everything you need to refresh, reset, and unwind throughout your stay.

O U T D O O R S

Cool off in the NEW saltwater pool (heating available by request), rinse off in the outdoor shower, then soak in the six person hot tub as the desert quiets around you. Fire up the Everdure propane grill, lounge beneath the stars with nearby heaters during cooler months, and keep an eye out for desert wildlife year-round. Grab a book or your favorite podcast and unwind in the gazebo overlooking the San Jacinto Mountains, one of California’s tallest and most striking peaks. When it’s time to eat, gather around the outdoor dining table for a meal made with fresh finds from the nearby Morongo Produce Market, just minutes away, just like Gleb would. Beautiful views, great food, and even better company.
