Getting Around:
This is a remote location down dirt roads, so please take it slow. While a car is required to get around, a four-wheel drive car is not necessary, but please note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain.

Other Things to Note:
Please note that The Birdhouse includes two open-concept buildings. The Main House consists of the main bedroom area with one king bed open to the living room, kitchen, and dining area. The Game Room includes a king bed and a two double bunkbed bedroom area open to the rest of the Game Room. Please make sure you are comfortable with these arrangements before booking!

The house utilizes an iPad with which you can easily control the surround-sound music with preset playlists. If that's not your style - no worries! We have several Bluetooth speakers for you to use! If you have any trouble during your stay, please just shoot us a message.

Pool Heating:
Heating to 85 degrees for the pool is included in your rental, except for the cooler season. Should you wish to have the pool heated during that time, please notify us in advance of your arrival as there will be a supplemental charge per day for this service due to high fuel costs in this area.

Pool Service:
To keep the pool as pristine as possible, the pool is serviced every Thursday morning. Our pool technician, in order to respect your privacy, will enter via the backyard gate by the driveway and go straight to the pool. He will not approach the house, but please be aware he will be there during this time. Please note that while we try our best to keep the pool clean with our weekly service, occasionally the high winds blow sand into the pool.

Pest Service:
To keep the desert critters at bay, our pest technician will spray the exterior of the home every month. We try to schedule this while guests are not in the house.

Trash Service:
A trash bin is located to the right of the main house. Trash pickup is every other Monday.

Electric Vehicle Charger:
There is no fee to charge your electric vehicle! Charger is a Standard Level 2 Charge Port @ 240v 40amps. For Tesla, you will need to bring the SAE J1772 Charging Adapter that came with your Tesla.
