The Lodge and everything in it.

Mountain House Lodge is a stone, glass and steel clubhouse designed by SWABACK at the foot of the McDowell Mountains. A front desk that never closes, a concierge, a full fitness center, the Serenity Spa, two resort pools and Alterra, all for casita guests.

The Lodge lobby: a stone fireplace, leather sofa and the bar, with glass doors to the desert at dusk

Front desk and concierge

The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, so there's always someone to welcome a late arrival, sort a request or recommend dinner.

The concierge takes care of the rest: tee times, spa appointments, private dinners, airport cars, desert tours and anything you'd like waiting in the casita when you arrive.

Resort pools

Two outdoor pools and a hot tub, with loungers, cabanas and the mountains on the skyline. Order a drink from Alterra and stay until the fire pits are lit.

Cabanas are first come, first served.

Spa treatment room with a massage table and a wide opening onto the desert

Serenity Spa

The Lodge's spa is built around the desert: treatment rooms open straight onto it, so a massage comes with mountain air and total quiet. Choose from massages and body treatments after a round of golf or a day in town.

Book before you arrive or ask the concierge during your stay.

Stay for the stars.

Sereno Canyon is a dark sky community, so the lights stay low and the Milky Way comes out over the McDowells. Check availability and book your casita online in a couple of minutes.
