Common Questions and Answers;
Q. What time is check-in?
A. 4:00pm

Unlike a hotel, the entire property must be prepared from guest to guest, dealing with surprise maintenance issues along the way.

Refunds-
The cancellation policy is different according to the timeframe of the booking.
Please check listing thoroughly for cancellation information before booking.
There is no refund for Covid-19 related cancellations.
Guests assume all risks when booking.
Cleaning –
Considering supplies and recent extensive cleaning precautions, cleaning generally costs more than what is charged and is subsidized with reservation costs. This is to give the customer a substantial value on cleaning. Our workers come out of their way to this rural location to provide this service.
We have always followed a stringent cleaning procedure.
We generally have 3-4 workers on site between bookings to make it all happen.
All linens are washed in our recently built, personal Laundromat with 5 high capacity washers and dryers.
We use Tide or Arm&Hammer detergent with Gain Fabric softener.
We also incorporate vinegar or bleach as needed with each wash.
Hot tub is always drained and re-filled between bookings along with bromine added.
Pool is maintained between each booking or once a week for longer stays to ensure proper chlorine & PH levels.
Pool is also skimmed and filter washed.
Switches, knobs and surfaces are wiped down with barbicide.
Floors moped.
Please try not to arrive early to the property and just help yourselves in.
As floor may be wet or the ozone generator may be running.
Check-in is generally at 4:00pm unless otherwise specified.
We have also recently incorporated Ozone treatment between each booking using a 48g/h Ozone Generator. Ozone gas is extremely effective at removing odors and pathogen through molecular oxidation.
There are numerous studies that show Ozone gas is able to destroy the SARS coronavirus.
Ozone is a naturally occurring gas created from oxygen atoms. The oxygen molecule is made up of 2 oxygen atoms. These oxygen molecules are broken into atoms by the corona discharge during lightning storms or by UV light from the Sun. Single oxygen atoms cannot exist alone without regrouping back into di-atomic oxygen molecules. During this recombination stage some atoms will regroup into loosely bonded tri-atomic oxygen. This new molecule is called Ozone or O3.
The ozone generator is ran for about 1 hour and the house is aired out for an additional 30min. Along with the air conditioner running to ensure airway sanitation and even distribution of the Ozone gas.
This is a proven safe and effective method used in hospitals.
It is also a trade secret in large hotels used to remove cigarette smoke odors from non-smoking rooms.
Other things to note-
Motorhomes welcome, but no motorhome hookups.
Sleeps the following;
sleeps 2- large bedroom with California king
sleeps 2- bedroom, 1 queen sized bed
sleeps 2- bedroom, 1 full sized bed
sleeps 4- living room, 2 queen sized inflatable air mattress
About the water supply:
We recently added a pelican whole house water treatment system.
House is supplied by a hot water well, around 105f before settling and cooling in a supply tank. This water is similar to the water from a natural desert hot spring. I have enjoyed this water for years, as it is clean and refreshing with natural minerals. But like tap water, please drink bottled water.
