Modern Getaway with Community Pool near Golf, Boating & Gorge Concerts!

Feel the calm set in as you step onto the patio and take in the mountain views.

Go for a round of golf in the morning, then head out for a day of boating on the Columbia, more like a lake then a river in this area. Or just soak up the sun by the community pool (SEASONAL Memorial Day - Labor Day).

In the evening take in a concert at the Gorge, or just relax by the fire pit.

Desert Sky House is in the best part of Desert Aire with close proximity to the pool, golf, pickleball, boat launch & park.

We have an exterior security camera on the garage facing the driveway, and an exterior doorbell camera at the front door.

Winter get-away for Thanksgiving

We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful, comfortable, and well-equipped home and the surrounding area for our small Thankgiving gathering. Our host Michele went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed to relax with family. Easy walking distance to the clubhouse and the Priest Rapids Wildlife/Recreation area. Quick drive to wine tasting at the Gingko Forest Winery in Mattawa and to the Crab Creek- Rocky Ford Recreation area. Perfect long weekend trip!

Perfect family getaway

This is one of the nicest houses we've stayed in through VRBO. The pictures are spot-on. It was very very clean, well stocked, we needed nothing. Perfect layout for our family as everyone had their own room. The only thing this house needs is a pool/spa and fencing. Otherwise it's perfect. Michele is a great host! Kept us informed on everything. Thank you!

Communication

The house exceeded our expectations. it was extremely clean and looked great. I had a few questions a couple of days leading up to our stay and also when we got there. They responded very quickly and had no problems with all of my questions. Hopefully it will be available the next time we go down there.
