A resort day without leaving home base
Desert Color is a resort-style community on the south side of St. George built around its 2.5-acre recreational lagoon. For families and groups, the appeal is simple: there is already something to do when you walk out the door.
Spend the day swimming, paddleboarding, relaxing near the water, using the community amenities, or simply enjoying the home. When the group wants to explore, the rest of St. George and Southern Utah are within reach.

The reason many families choose Desert Color
The lagoon gives guests an easy place to swim, paddle, play, or relax without building every day around driving to another activity.
The lagoon is not heated like a swimming pool, so water temperature changes with the season. Some Ember Stays homes are directly lagoon front while others sit elsewhere within the community, so check each home's location when you compare.

“This home was beautiful! My family and I loved the location and the home had everything we needed plus some. When we walked into the home it was clean and organized, it immediately felt more inviting and welcoming. My family and I were able to relax and enjoy our surroundings, without any distractions or concerns about cleanliness. We highly recomend staying in an Ember vacation rental.”
