Love DA!

Kristine was so helpful and communicative. The house was clean and cozy, and I felt comfortable letting my 15 month old wander and explore without any hazards inside. We definitely would stay here again. Thank you for everything! Sorry we left a couple things behind lol.

Beautiful home with ample space and very comfortable for two couples in town to see music at the Gorge (40 min. drive away). Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Great communication from host. Wonderful VRBO experience.

About the host

Host profile image
We are 2nd generation owners in Desert Aire. We love spending our time in Desert Aire and wanted to share our home with you. There are over 300 days of sunshine here!

Why they chose this property

We have been going to Desert Aire since the late 1980's with Kristine's family. This is the 2nd property her family has owned. We love the proximity to the water and the golf course. The community park and pool are awesome too! We love the conveniences of the small store, restaurants and gas station and the town of Mattawa just minutes away.
The fact that we can get here in just a couple of hours from home and just play and unwind is a bonus!

What makes this property unique

We are in a cul-de-sac with views of the hillside across the river. Walking distance to the river, golf and park.
