RAIN NOTES:

Our 22 foot Sioux style tipis are intentionally designed with an open air structure, including a small opening at the top for natural airflow (and energy flow!) This is part of their authentic, traditional construction.

We prepare each tipi with a waterproof rain blanket over the beds and add protective covering as needed to guard against drips.

*If inclement weather is predicted during your stay, please reach out 24 to 48 hours in advance to discuss possible rain check options.

This agreement outlines specific house rules and expectations provided by the property owner.

Important Property Notes

Access Road

The final stretch of road leading to the property is unpaved and made of caliche. A truck or SUV is ideal but not required—just drive with care.



Phone Signal

There is no cell phone signal at the property. Please plan accordingly.



Wi-Fi

Limited satellite internet is available, and service may be affected by weather conditions.



Rain & Tipi Design

Traditional tipis have an open top by design. During rain, it is possible for a few drops to enter the structure. We recommend bringing appropriate gear just in case.



Cooling Systems

During hot months, portable cooling systems in the tipis and tents may struggle to keep up with high temperatures. They are most effective in the evenings and typically cool the interior to about 20°F below the outside temperature.



Wear & Tear

The canvas structures may show signs of use such as dirt, staining, or minor wear (rips or repairs). This is part of the natural and rustic experience.



Dark Skies

The property is in a dark-sky zone with minimal outdoor lighting. We recommend packing a flashlight or headlamp for nighttime movement.



Pets

Pets are welcome with approval. A pet agreement must be signed, and a $25 per pet fee will be invoiced separately after booking.

Two pets max with a combined weight of 60 lbs.

We kindly ask that pets stay off the furniture to keep things fresh for everyone. An additional cleaning fee may apply if excessive pet hair is found.

The property is not childproof. It offers a rustic, camping-style experience with gravel paths, uneven terrain, and potential wildlife. Parents are responsible for determining whether the environment is suitable for their children.
