• OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Professionally managed by Hi-Desert Dwellings

• RENTAL AGREEMENT
There will be a rental agreement sent out that will need a signature to complete the reservation

• DEPOSIT
We do not charge a security deposit. We welcome you and your guests to come to the property without an added security deposit or any extra holds of funds. You will not have to worry about any additional charges for accidental damages!

• A/C / HEAT
The Colorful Cactus is cooled by mini splits in each room. This will help keep the house cool during warmer desert days and warmer during those chilly nights.

• HOT TUB
The hot tub is set up to automatically filter so you may hear it turning itself on and off. That is totally normal. The hot tub guy comes every Wednesday to service the hot tub. He wont need to come inside but he will go around the side of the house.

• FIRE
Due to the location and a current open fire ban there is a strict no outside wood burning fire policy. If it is discovered that you have started an outside fire, using fireworks or other open fire means your rental agreement will be terminated and you will be asked to leave.
WE DO HAVE A PROPANE FIRE PIT FOR YOUR USE AND ENJOYMENT.

• IDENTITY VERIFICATION
You will receive a text or email from Guest Ranger that will ask you to verify your identity and submit a picture of a government issued ID and a selfie. This information will be used to verify that the booking guest matches the credit card used and to help reduce any issues with identity theft. This process is mandatory to complete the booking. The data is protected in a hash-encrypted vault following data security standards including GDPR. Data-input in the vault is encrypted in a two-way function where information is scrambled using an encryption key and unscrambled later using a decryption key. On top of that, we use hashing to add an extra layer of security using a one-way function where a unique message digest is generated from an input file or a string of text. No keys are used.

Lovely spot

Awesome location and loved the amenities. The hot tub is a real hit once the sun goes down and the temperature drops considerably. Rooms were clean and well stocked with towels and blankets.Lots of aditional items such as outside towels for the tub, yoga mats, and kitchen items (good mix of cooking tools and some spices).

Colorful Cactus was a disappointment

disappointment. Yard not maintained weeds everywhere, hot awful (not able to heat above 99, half of jets don't work, water level low). outside lighting missing bulbs dangerous at night. couch was dirty, lot of wear and tear. cigarette buts on back porch mat. no games or entertainment at property. this was by far the least maintained property I have rented.

A home away from home

We met my daughter and grandkids here for wonderful vacation! We used all the amenities and enjoyed cooking together in the kitchen. It was so helpful to have two full bathrooms! We will fondly remember sitting around the spacious table, hanging out on the roomy couch, and gazing at the stars from the hot tub. Highly recommend!

Just what we were looking for!

For us, the place was perfect. Good sized place with plenty of room to chill out. And, it's a very short drive to a few places to eat, get coffee, etc. Made for an excellent weekend!

Cleanliness could be a lot better

We checked in and check all our rooms and my sister found a clump of hair still in the shower on the drain. I found a stain that I’m hoping is ketchup and not blood on one of the pillows. The blinds in the master room didn’t work and were broken. Just expected more for paying that much money especially for our birthday.
