Please note:

Our parking is pull-in/back-in only (not pull-through), and mature trees mean tall vehicles like RVs can't fit in the driveway.

There are two small steps into each entry door.

Depending on the season, our yard has grass, flower pots, shrubs, and trees — so we do get insects, including bees, mosquitoes, and spiders. We provide citronella candles/sticks and RAID spray if you need to deter or remove any unwelcome visitors.

Like most homes in the Southwest, we use an evaporative ("swamp") cooling system that runs through the ductwork. During extended high heat or humidity (typically 3+ days), the house won't cool the way A/C would — it doesn't usually get above 74°F even in peak summer, but if you're heat-sensitive, please plan accordingly. We also provide a window unit for an extra boost in mid-summer.

There are two active recording security cameras, including video and audio, located at the driveway and front entry/walkway. We respect your privacy — our cameras do not cover any indoor space or the backyard.

To keep our minimum cleaning fee as low as possible, we charge fees for 3+ guests and pets — please enter your total guest count and pets so VRBO calculates your cost correctly. We never want to surprise you with fees!

There are 8 EV charging stations within 1.2 miles, but EV charging is not permitted on the property. Guests who charge an EV here will be subject to a $300 inconvenience fee, plus the cost of electricity used and any related maintenance or repair costs.

Guests who cause damage or lingering smells — from smoking/vaping indoors, using the woodstove, plumbing misuse, insufficient pet control, or tampering with cameras/batteries — will be responsible for deep cleaning and repair fees starting at $600.

For guests without recent reviews, we require ID + photo for verification. This helps us keep the property safe and well cared for. Thank you!
