About this house rental
The Mark is made entirely of concrete, and you feel it in the quiet: cool, still, solid underfoot. Raw textures, tall ceilings and moody tones frame the desert through north-facing windows, and a 17-foot bifold door folds the living room open to the patio. Cook at the travertine counters, carry dinner to the table for six outside, then sink into the six-person hot tub with the mountains in view and the fire pit going. Two king bedrooms at opposite ends. Built to last, made to linger.
The Space:
The Mark is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom new build made entirely of concrete, which keeps it naturally cool, quiet and energy-efficient. It sits on 1.18 private acres in Panorama Heights. Raw concrete textures, tall ceilings, moody tones and north-facing windows frame the desert and mountain views, and a 17-foot bifold door opens the living space to the patio. Two king bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the home, each opening to the patio, with a pull-out sofa for a fifth guest. It suits couples or two pairs of friends looking for a design-forward base. Fold the door all the way open at golden hour.

-Wildlife & Safety-
The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it's important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home. Guests may encounter a variety of wildlife during their stay, and while direct encounters with dangerous animals like coyotes, snakes, scorpions, bobcats, mountain lions and other desert dwellers are rare, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to keep a safe distance from these creatures when spotted. Additionally, the desert is dotted with sharp cacti and other spiky plants. For your safety, always supervise children, pets, ESAs, and service animals while outdoors. Dogs should remain on a leash at all times and be watched closely while outdoors, as they can wander into potentially unsafe situations with wildlife or plants. By booking this property, guests acknowledge the potential for wildlife encounters and assume responsibility for their safety and the safety of their group. By respecting the local environment and staying aware, you can fully enjoy the magic of the desert.
-Security Camera-
For your security, there are exterior cameras facing the driveway and front outdoor areas, which monitor vehicles and occupancy. There are no cameras inside the home or facing any private areas, including the hot tub area.
