The Neighborhood:
We are in a safe and quiet residential neighborhood at the very back of the mountain.

Getting Around:
Driving is your best option, but we do offer a private driver service since Uber is limited in the desert!

Other Things to Note:
*POOL HEAT:
Please note we need a 48 hour notice prior to checkin to heat the pool.

Thanks to our eco-friendly electric pool heater, pool heat is included for free during your stay between May - October! Pool is heated to 85 degrees. So the heater doesn't overwork, the electric pump will only be active between 6am-9pm everyday. Please note it will take a couple hours to heat back up once the pump starts in the early morning. Keep in mind, we don't guarantee a set pool temperature due to drastic weather changes in the desert and our deep 7ft pool.

We also have a propane heater for the colder months. If you wish to have the pool heated between November - April, there will be an additional cost to heat the pool. Please inquire about the seasonal propane rates.

FAMILY & PETS:
We are family and dog friendly! Children 2 years old and above must be included as part of the total guest count. Dogs are accepted on a case by case basis. Please send us the breed and age for consideration. We will request a $75 cleaning & companion fee per pet. While we have a fenced backyard, small dogs may still be able to pass through. Please see our House Rules for more information.

EXTRA GUESTS:
Guest count must be the same as on the reservation. Children are considered as part of the total guest count. Most hosts set their nightly rates based on the total guest count. Instead, we set a lower base rate for up to 4 guests with an added $50/night Usage & Amenity fee (plus booking fees & taxes) for every extra guest. This allows us to accommodate smaller sized groups with affordable rates and honor our standard nightly rate for groups of 8.

POOL GATE:
We have the option to put the children's pool gate up. We charge $100 flat which goes to our handyman to set up & take down the gate. Please let us know at least one day prior to arrival if you wish to have it set up.

HOT TUB:
Spa heat is included during your stay! We set it to 104 degrees.

DAY GUESTS:
Any day guests must be approved prior to arrival. Day guests must leave by 10pm due to county ordinance.

CONSTRUCTION:
Friendly note that the house next door is currently under some construction. While this is out of our control, they only work during business hours.

PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF OUR NEIGHBORS! Follow our Good Neighbor Policy of no outside noise after 10pm and before 8am. Guests must refrain from any outdoor music, noise or other disruptions that may cause a disturbance to the community during quiet hours. Failure to respect quiet hours after an initial warning may result in cancellation of your reservation without refund.

CLEANING:
Health & safety is our number one priority. Our in-house cleaning team is trained on CDC and WHO protocols. We take extra measures to ensure the home is sanitized and safe before every arrival. For this reason we aren’t able to offer early check-ins or late check-outs. Thank you for understanding!

HOT TUB:
We have a 4-person hot tub with bluetooth speaker connection.

PHOTOSHOOTS & VIDEOS:
If you’re interested in doing a photoshoot or shooting a video, please let us know what it is for. You must get approval beforehand! If approved, we have an additional fee for licensing and usage.

WILDLIFE:
You’re surely guaranteed to encounter wildlife on your stay including families of Quail, rare Albino lizards, insects, snakes, squirrels and the endangered kangaroo mice.

NO SMOKING:
This is a non smoking home. Any and all smoking should be kept outdoors. There will be a $250 charge for anyone not honoring this guideline.

VENDORS:
The spa/pool service is before and after reservations. If you have a stay longer than a week, we will coordinate spa/pool service with you. Trash service is every Tuesday. A team member will come bring the bins to the curb, but will never enter the home. If you are staying through Wednesday, we ask you to kindly return any empty bins from the street.

DEPOSIT OR WAIVER:
Our bookings are protected by SUPERHOG, our trust and safety partner. Guests must verify themselves through SUPERHOG after the booking is confirmed, which only takes less than a minute and is required prior to arrival. Guests will be asked to put down a refundable $500 deposit (minus a $15 processing fee) or a non-refundable $35 damage waiver that covers any damage up to $500. Guests will be contacted directly by SUPERHOG via text with a URL link to start the verification process.

CHECK-IN /CHECK-OUT:
Saturday check-ins and check-outs are not allowed. We may grant an exception to this for last-minute reservations.

LACK OF CELLULAR COVERAGE:
You will notice that cell service is hard to come by in our secluded desert setting. Don't worry—consider it an invitation to unplug and fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty around you. We recommend planning ahead to make the most of this serene escape from the digital world.

PLEASE READ & AGREE TO HOUSE RULES BEFORE MAKING A BOOKING.

Excellent house and water infrastructure but somewhat sparsely furnished and decorated. Excellent outside for partying, but the barbecue didn't go on. Responses from management were slow; e.g. when the bbq didn't light, a response was sent by e-mail 24 hours later asking if we'd turned the handle to open the gas. We'd happily stay there again, but with lower expectations of owner support.

This home was fantastic for our family of 3. Would also be great for a group of friends or 3 couples. The home was well stocked and had everything we needed. The backyard was a fabulous oasis! Having no neighbors behind the house provided great views of the landscape and mountains. Communication from Kylie the property manager was prompt and efficient. Highly recommend!

This house is beautiful and the backyard is awesome. The house is centrally located to Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, and Palm Springs. We loved the views of the mountains from inside and outside the house.

This place is fantastic. The home is spacious and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The outdoor space is the reason to come. Beautiful furnishings, a spectacular view as you sit and unwind in the hot tub, or relax by the pool. Play corn hole, read, rejuvenate. Conveniently located near Joshua Tree National Park. The home is a vacation all by itself.

We had a lovely stay here while we were visiting Joshua Tree. Unfortunately it snowed, so we didn’t get to partake in a lot of activities as we hoped, but still had a lovely stay! The house is super homey; we cooked all 3 nights and enjoyed the hot tub. Loved the layout of the house. I was able to do yoga in the room with the little wine bar; the patio was so nice; we just wish we could have utilized it more but with the weather we stayed inside. Communication with the team and Kylie was outstanding. Just a lovely stay… this property would be great for families and children. The pool looked outstanding!! Definitely recommend the property!! Enjoy!!
