GROUP GATHERING GUIDELINES: Host Rules That Support Your Fun
THIS PROPERTY IS BUILT FOR GROUP CELEBRATIONS
We designed High Desert Haven specifically for:
- Family reunions & multi-generational gatherings
- Bachelor/Bachelorette celebrations
- Corporate team retreats
- Graduation parties
- Adventure group base camps
GAME ROOMS & HOT TUB: Use Freely (They're Built For This)
These amenities exist because we WANT you to have fun. Tournament-style gaming, late-night hot tub soaks, group celebrations—that's what they're here for.
NEIGHBORHOOD RESPECT (Important for Everyone)
We're located in an established, quiet residential neighborhood. To keep things positive for your group AND our community:
- Keep outdoor music/noise moderate after 10 PM
- Indoor gaming is anytime (soundproofed game rooms)
- Hot tub soaks can be late-night without issue
- We trust you to be respectful while having an amazing time
- Disruptive or reckless behavior (excessive external noise, damage, safety violations) is grounds for cancellation without refund
Our Philosophy: High Desert Haven exists for groups to gather, celebrate, create memories, and have an amazing time together. Let's all keep it fun, safe, and respectful so future groups can have the same experience.

HOT TUB CARE (Simple & Easy):
- Please shower before entering (keeps water clean, longer lasting for everyone)
- No glass containers near or in the tub (safety)
- No food/drinks in the water
- Cover & clip both front/back clips when done (we maintain it weekly)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TRASH & RECYCLING (Pre-Sorted for Ease):
Trash pickup is Mondays. To help with sorting:
Outdoor Bins (by back patio):
