Welcome to GOAT House, the love child of Katie and Alex, a millennial couple, who couldn't decide what to do with their lives, so they bought a house in the desert and renovated it with their bare hands. A tale as old as however-long HGTV has been going (watched from their streaming device, not cable.) Enjoy the expansive desert views of Goat Mountain while relaxing in this cute and cozy space. At Goat House you will have the true desert experience with starry nights and beautiful sunsets.
