• OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Professionally managed by Hi-Desert Dwellings
• RENTAL AGREEMENT
There will be a rental agreement sent out that will need a signature to complete the reservation
• AC
The house is cooled and heated by central AC and heat
• FIRE
Due to the location and a current fire ban there is a strict no outside wood burning fire policy. If it is discovered that you have started an outside fire, using fireworks or other open fire means your rental agreement will be terminated and you will be asked to leave. We do have a propane fire pit and that is allowed to be used.
• OUTSIDE
The raw desert land always tends to uncover rusty objects and glass around the yard, please be mindful and wear foot protection. This yard does tend to uncover lots of broken glass in the front and back yard.
• WILD ANIMALS
Be sure to keep an eye out for snakes and scorpions while walking through the desert landscape. They mostly want to leave us alone, but be mindful that you might be walking through their home. If you see a snake or scorpion calmly and quietly walk in the opposite direction.
If you see a rattlesnake, please call management. We ask you kindly to not try to handle it yourself or to hurt the snake. We have a local snake wrangler that will relocate the snake without harm.
