Use your booking platform’s app first as most require communication
through their app.

If needed: text or call co-host Whitney & Chris (phone numbers found in platform and in the printed guidebook at the property).

Access to the house requires you travel on a dirt road. There are multiple paths you can take, some smoother than others. We will provide you step-by-step directions prior to your arrival.

The home is located in the vast expanse of the high desert, amidst a pristine natural setting. Here, you might come across various desert inhabitants, such as snakes, scorpions, spiders, rodents, and other wildlife native to the desert. It's important to remain vigilant of your environment. Though encounters with these creatures are generally harmless, it's crucial to respect their space, as you are sharing their habitat.

For those venturing outdoors or going on hikes, it's advisable to carry extra water and sunscreen. There is poor cell service in the park, which can be unreliable or completely unavailable. Therefore, navigating with a map or guidebook is recommended. Additionally, the high desert experiences chilly and windy conditions during the winter, so bringing additional layers is advisable for visits during these months.
