Pool heating is available for an additional $95/day, which will give you a guaranteed 84 degree water temperature. Since we have a high-output gas heater, we can heat the pool 24/7 whereas heat-pump water heaters do not operate at night when the air temperatures drop below 40.

We also offer professional chef, as well as on-site massage and private yoga instructor services through several preferred partners. Chef Trenita is professionally trained and can do everything from a curated meal for two prepared on site, to meal delivery. Sebastian, our masseuse, is expert at deep tissue massage and restorative treatments and can set up inside, or outdoors. And Shawnee can guide you through a restorative yoga class anywhere on the grounds. If you're interested in any of their services, please let us know at time of booking and we will provide you with contact details so you may arrange with them directly.

While we want our guests to enjoy all of the outdoor amenities in the home, since the neighborhood is tranquil and upscale, we do not permit any amplified music or boisterous conversations outdoors at any time of day. During quiet hours from 10p.m. - 8 a.m. we do not permit outdoor gatherings, or loud conversations, of any kind whatsoever. Given the placement of the home in the canyon, noise and conversations travels easily up to the homes in the hills and is often amplified due to the acoustics of the canyon. If a party scene is what you have in mind, please stay at one of our local resort hotels.
