Other Details to Note

Pool Heating Fee: Should you wish to have the pool heated to 85 degrees, please notify us in advance of your arrival as there will be a supplemental charge per day for this service due to high fuel costs in this area. If you'd like the pool heated for multiple days, we ask that days be consecutive to conserve energy, thank you! Pool heating is not usually necessary May through September. ► May through September - $100/night if needed ► October & April - $150/night ► November through March - $200/night *No fee to heat the hot tub!* Pool Heating: Please note that we will need at least 24 hours notice to heat the pool. Only one of the pool or hot tub can heat at once. If you wish to use the hot tub while the pool is heating, just note that the pool heating will turn off while the hot tub heats, so it will take a bit longer for the pool to get to 85 degrees. Once the hot tub is turned back off, the pool heating will resume. Hot Tub Heating: Please note that because the hot tub is an in-ground hot tub, it is not heated 24/7 to conserve energy. It will take around 15-30 minutes to heat to 104 degrees from ambient temperature. Pool and Hot Tub Service: The pool and hot tub are serviced Thursday, approximately between 11am and 4pm. Please note that these times are estimates and may change slightly due to our technician's busy schedule. He will not approach the house but will go directly through to the backyard. Dogs: We welcome your dogs! Please note that there is a $100 per dog per stay fee, limit of 2 dogs maximum. Please note on your reservation if you are bringing dog(s) and how many, and we will adjust the price accordingly. There is an unauthorized pet fee of $500. Please use the provided dog sheets before allowing your dogs on any furniture. Cats and other pets are not allowed. Firewood: Please note that we do not provide firewood. If you'd like to enjoy the outdoor wood burning fireplace, we suggest picking up a few bundles of wood before arriving to the house. Guided Yoga, Sound Baths, Meditation, Massages & Personal Chefs: Please reach out to us if you'd like recommendations for yoga instructors, guided sound baths, guided meditation, massages or personal chefs. Often times vendors are available come directly to the house. Cleaning Fee: 100% of the cleaning fee goes directly to our hardworking cleaners.

Had a wonderful stay at this place! Beautiful views, very clean and tidy, loved the aesthetic, indoor and outdoor fireplace were great. Hot tub was lovely. Approximately 15min drive from Yuca Valley and took us about 40min to get to the main part of the Joshua tree national park which was our main reason for visiting. Would definitely recommend!

House was great. Very nice and private which exactly what we were looking for. House sits up on a mountain so sunrises and sunsets are amazing. Never saw or heard another person during the whole stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Very communicative and accommodating host. Pool and jacuzzi were great. We have a three year old and she was to play in a large ledge that was low water in the pool area. Great views. Nicely stocked kitchen for cooking meals. Easy to use grill. Comfy beds.

One of the most beautifullly designed and well-appointed properties I've booked on Airbnb! Felt very open with lots of natural light and amazing views of the desert and surrounding mountains. Loved the pool/spa convo.
