Welcome to Buena Vista, an unparalleled desert oasis in the heart of California's iconic Coachella Valley!
*The Space*
Located on 40+ acres of lush desert playground, Buena Vista is the ideal location for vacations and events alike. This 7,700 sqft 9-bedroom mid-century modern estate can sleep up to 20 people. Take advantage of the expansive freshwater lake, saloon-style wet bar, bonfire area, bocce ball, horseshoe rings, and al fresco dining area for your whole group. Venture inside, and you'll find an open floor plan connecting a beautifully designed living room with an impressive gallery wall, a spacious dining area and kitchen built for a chef, and an eclectic game room and wet bar. With so much to see and do both in and out of the home, there's never a dull moment at Buena Vista.
*The Experience*
Spend your days relaxing on the ranch and enjoying AvantStay's unique, experiential amenities right at the comfort of your home-away-from-home. Wake up early for a morning paddle board ride on the lake before the desert sun hits its peak. Catch some rays by the pool. Enjoy yoga and a sound bath under the lush palm trees. Gather around the beautiful fire pit overlooking the mountains and lake as the sky begins to turn pink. Sit down for dinner made by your personal chef and end the night with a game of billiards with your best friends. This is Buena Vista, and the possibilities are endless!
