Beds already on site
One king bedroom, a second bedroom with two queen beds, pull-out couch, extra bedding in the closet, and a pack-and-play in the closet for infants.

Water and power: Water is hauled in by truck and stored in 6,000-gallon tanks, so we ask guests to use it thoughtfully. There will be plenty for your stay. Please skip baths, keep showers short (about 5 minutes), don’t leave the tap running, and run the dishwasher only when full. We keep drinking water in the dispenser by the sink; bringing a little extra is smart in this part of the desert, and it’s good to have emergency water in the car.

Septic: flush toilet paper only.
