Our stay at Desert Harbor Resort was a Christmas gift from Laurie’s parents, and we scheduled our stay for our 32nd wedding anniversary. Desert Harbor Resort is run by Raymond and his wife Wesley. Guests stay in a small house up the hill from the main house nestled below undulating cliffs among the juniper and piñon trees. The nightly rate includes breakfast, and guest have the option of ordering dinners as well. Guests can also get life counseling, time in a hot tub, and schedule messages for additional fees. There is a labyrinth guests can walk in and then sit in the center and meditate. On the other side of the cliffs the porch faces is a covered lookout, with a chair and a hammock, overlooking a canyon where one can relax, read or meditate. There are also trails for hiking in the canyon and beyond.
Off Center & Not Even 
Tempting!
If you are in the area, it’s a nice quiet get away.
What a great way to spend a 32nd anniversary! Love the pics of Laurie and her new clothes – such a wonderful color.
The pics are, as always, wonderful. I rarely get to that side of the mountains, and it is nice to see it through your eyes.
Thanks, Susan. It’s in a great location with lots of photo ops. All of today’s photos were all taken within 500 feet of the guest house. Wild flowers, insects, lizards, snake and landscapes will be upcoming blogs as I get the photos processed.
Happy 32nd Anniversary Laurie and Timothy! What a lovely vacation spot! All very beautiful photos, but my favorites are the one of Laurie modeling that new dress and the sunset.
Thanks, Lavinia! Laurie modeling her new outfits was one of the highlights of the get away. I got word as we were getting ready to leave that a package had come in at the office and was waiting on my desk. I knew they were the clothes we had ordered, so we dropped by the office on our way out — I slipped in the back door, grabbed the package, slipped back out and we headed for the hills with Laurie’s new outfits in hand.
lovely pics.. i love Laurie’s red dress ❤
Thanks, Leyla! Laurie loves her dress too;)
WOW! Happy Anniversary to you both. Amazing place and wonderful photographs, especially the vase and coffee I loved so much. Thank you dear Timothy, Blessing and Happiness, love, nia
Thanks, Nia! I put down the coffee on the table and noticed it would make a nice photo with the vase of flowers and the steam coming off the hot coffee.
Congratulations to you both! The guest house looks a lovely place for a peaceful and reflective stay.
A real retreat. Hope you feel refreshed and restored.
Thanks, Julia! I little! Now it’s back to the grind;)
