IMPORTANT
Before you arrive you will be asked to complete guest verification through third-party provider Superhog. This is done to ensure we are keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations as well as providing both our guests and our properties with extra protection. Superhog will contact you via email and/or text to complete the verification. You will also be given the choice between a security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver. Please complete this step prior to arriving at the property to enable a quick and easy check-in process.

During your stay, you'll have complete access to the entire home, ensuring privacy and comfort. Enjoy the spacious layout, fully-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and serene bathrooms, all designed with families and groups in mind.

There is an unoccupied ADU in the back. No one is staying in it, but you won’t have access to it either.

The basement, one closet, and one outdoor shed are used for storage and will be locked and unavailable to you.

HOUSE RULES
Treat our home with respect and care for it as you would your own. No smoking or vaping, no drugs, and no unregistered guests. See our guidebook for more details on the house rules. We do allow dogs for a $100 fee for up to two dogs. Dogs must not be left alone in the house.

CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT DETAILS
Easy self-check-in with a digital smart lock. Check in after 4 PM and check out by 10 AM. General checkout procedures are to lock the doors, close the windows, leave dishes clean or at least in the dishwasher, and leave used beds undone and used towels in the floor. Generally tidy up the place and leave it the way you found it. Nothing too complex :)

There is a train crossroad (not super nearby) and you may occasionally hear the train horn at night.

The game room is in a detached garage that faces the backyard pool area, feel free to open the rollout door to enjoy and get some fresh air!

The staircases are steep, and the head clearance is from 1900s standards which means that a tall person can bump their head. Watch out!

Fun fact: The main house has 3 staircases. The second staircase in the kitchen goes to the same second floor as the main staircase because, back in the early 1900s, staff was not allowed to use the main staircase, so they built a separate one from the kitchen. The third one is to get to the finished attic where the air hockey table is located.

While you're here to enjoy the desert vibes, we also want to make you aware of the local wildlife that calls this area home. We've seen birds, mice, spiders, skunks and other critters at the property. Although we have not seen them at the property, there are snakes in the nearby trails, be careful while exploring and have fun!
