IMPORTANT NOTE:
SHARED HOT TUB
The hot tub is a shared amenity available for both the main house and the casita. It provides a relaxing space to unwind, but please note that it’s a communal feature, so it may be used by guests from both accommodations. We kindly ask everyone to be mindful of others while enjoying the hot tub.
Hot Tub Use: Please avoid using the hot tub immediately after it’s been serviced, as chemical levels are temporarily elevated. Thanks for your understanding!
PETS:
We love pets. Your fur-family are welcome with an additional fee of $150/ pet per stay (max 2 pets allowed). While we love all animals, cats and other animals are not allowed at this time. You are required to disclose before booking. However, they are not allowed to swim in the pool or hot tub. Please be mindful, as their fur can cause the filters to clog. Please be aware of desert plants and animals. Keep your pets away from them as we want them to be safe. We strongly suggest you use a leash and accompany your pets while enjoying the space because of the cactus and wildlife. You are 100% responsible for yourself and your pets.
SHARED POOL:
Pool is available to be enjoyed year round from 7am - 10pm. Pool can be heated for $350 for first day and 250/day after and must be heated for the entire duration of your stay. Let us know 48 hours in advance to allow time for the pool to be heated. Please note that you share this amenity to other guests staying at 2BR or casita house
VISITORS:
We ask that the reservation holder let us know in advance if they plan on having any visitors during their stay. You may not have additional guests unless previously authorized by the host.
BROKEN ITEMS:
We understand that accidents happen, if anything breaks down (even if it's your fault), please let us know so we can send someone to fix it or replace it for you and future guests. We are really counting on you to take great care of the home.
KITCHEN RULES:
Please only use soap and water to clean our custom concrete big kitchen island. No red wine on the concrete island as it will stain. In the past, someone spilled coffee. This is very expensive to redo.
FILMING & PHOTO SHOOTS:
If you or your company are interested in utilizing the space for film, television, music video or photo/film shoots of any kind, please contact us via the message portion of the site to discuss details, approvals, pricing, etc.
BASKETBALL COURT RULES:
Please do not dunk or hang on the rims of the basketball court. We wish they were as durable as the official NBA hoops, but they're not quite ;) You will be held liable for any damage. Please be respectful of the property as we want as many future guests to enjoy this amenity.
PLUMBING:
Like ours, most houses in Joshua Tree are on a Septic Tank system. For this reason, nothing can be flushed down the toilet except toilet paper. Following these guidelines will avoid problems with the plumbing. If it is determined that the pipes have been clogged due to misuse, a $500 repair fee will be charged. Thank you for your cooperation.
NO SMOKING:
Smoking (including E-Cig) is NOT allowed in the property or within 15 feet of the exterior door. Please dispose of cigarettes into a plastic bag and put them in the outdoor trash can. If the above is not maintained, we will charge a $100 special cleaning fee. Please smoke outside and dispose of your cigarettes in the trash. We appreciate your cooperation.
LIABILITY RELEASE:
Guest agrees to hold the Host harmless against any and all loss, claims, causes of action, demands, and/or costs and expenses that may be incurred by the guests in relation to the home rental. We cannot be responsible for lost or stolen items. Subletting our property is strictly prohibited.
TRAVEL INSURANCE:
We highly recommend our guests purchase travel insurance through the booking platform to protect them against any issues that would cause a guest to have to cancel their trip. Many credit cards might also offer suitable travel insurance. Thanks in advance for acknowledging the cancellation policy will be adhered to.
MANDATORY RULE:
