From the moment you enter....
Steps lead down to your private abode, and you know you are entering a special place.
Perhaps it doesn't have air-conditioning, or bug screens, but it is a unique and special experience, and our desert valley has few bugs. Open the roof, sleep under the stars..... |  The BBQ kitchen on your patio adds another dimension to staying in to eat.At the right times, the vegetable garden just below yeilds great organic produce. Fresh herbs can always be found. |
Opening roof
Note the open roof as you look down into the Cabana. Easy to operate. The system is on counter-weight with a push-pull pole. Just don't leave it open if rain threatens.
In a really torrential rainstorm, with the wrong wind direction there may be the odd drip, but NOT over the bed! Tough to make a roof that opens without the odd unsurmountable challenge.
An opening roof introduces you to nature, the odd leaf or other tree 'detritis' will infiltrate into the Cabana. It is impossible to stop!

The "nookie nest"!
When the wrap around windows are open, nature enfolds you. The Cabana is a close to nature experience - expect moths at night if the lights are on, and even the odd ant may try to join you. George, our rooster, may wake you once, but then you get used to him and sleep on!
The Cabana has seen its share of engagements, birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons and even a wedding.
It has been called a "nookie nest"!!!!
