We have created the perfect place for a peaceful desert retreat where you can relax, unwind and recharge.

Blackout blinds

Dark Skies
Propane Fire Pit



• HOUSE
This house is an ADU on our personal property with its own space and land. It is a studio (bedroom without walls or doors) and the house has its own driveway for privacy.

• LIGHT
The house has skylights that do not have any coverings. That means that when the sun rises, it can be bright in the house. We do have blackout blinds that cover the entire length of the glass wall for privacy.

• NOISE
There is a fence that separates the two homes for privacy but you may hear our dog or pig roaming around in our yard. Both come inside at sunset. There are delivery trucks (USPS, UPS and FEDEX) that come to the main house regularly. They do not come to your side of the property but if the blinds are open in the back haus, you may be able to see them coming up our driveway (not your driveway, you have a separate driveway).

• PETS
Pets off all kinds are NOT allowed.

• A/C & HEATER
Back Haus is cooled and heated by a central hvac system to keep you comfortable all year long.

• FIRE
Due to the location and a current fire ban there is a strict no open flames fire policy BUT the propane fire pit located outside if allowed.

If it is discovered that you have started an outside fire, in a fire pit, using fireworks or other open fire (propane excluded when used IN the propane firepit and propane grill provided) means your rental agreement will be terminated and there is a $200 fine.

• WIFI
Desert wifi can be super spotty and can go in and out. We have the best service for our rural area (spectrum) which has been dependable and fast for us to work from home.

• GUESTS
You are not permitted to have any guests on the property beyond those included in your rental agreement unless you request and receive permission from us. That includes day guests and over night guests.

• 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.

By renting this property, guest acknowledges that they have read, understand and accept the terms listed above.

Comfortable, great location

Really enjoyed the location and amenities the property offered. Room darkening shades kept it dark at night. View is amazing with lovely sitting area. Star watching is easy in the dark sky community.

It was nice staying here. Everything is in a very good condition. Everything was extremely new even the towels smelt nice. It's spacious and comfortable. Despite being in the "desert" it had everything I needed to live comfortably. Heating was fantastic for when the temperature dropped. Most importantly when you stepped out, all you could see were stars!

Perfect. Relaxing…hope to book again.

This is the first time I’ve booked a vacation rental and the space exceeded my expectations based on the photos…this place is MORE spacious and elegant with a bay of windows that capture the beautiful view, skylights in the high ceiling, lots of storage and convenient appliances. . The quiet outdoor sitting area is magical and as we hung out around the fire pit….we saw beautiful desert birds and animals…including two sweet quail that greeted us the first day. Well appointed, clean, very nice linens right down to Parachute brand guest robes, comfortable bed…..hope to be back!

Great little desert retreat

This very large studio space had everything I needed for a few days of quiet retreat. The neighborhood was quiet and the space felt private from the main residence. Full kitchen, comfortable bed and the robe and slippers were a lovely surprise!

Back Haus

House is new and immaculately clean. Refreshing European layout in the midst of the desert. Location conveniently near the West entrance and main road, with very dark sky during new moon for stargazing. Driveway is surrounded with cactus garden on both sides. Unit is fully furnished with soap shampoo kitchenware, TV and internet and even records of old classics. Very stylish and swanky unit. Highly recommended for couples or friends.
