Other things to note

Please be aware that this 10-acre property is in a secluded, rural area. The home sits amid pristine, untouched desert terrain, with a serene atmosphere. Wild neighbors (the four-legged kind) roam freely here, so please be respectful and cautious if you're out exploring on foot.

We treat our home regularly for bugs, but please note that you are visiting the northern Arizona high desert, and our bug friends live in and around the neighborhood. You may see a friend or two if you leave the doors or windows open.

Our house is on the electrical grid; however, all local homes require water to be hauled in. We ask you to please be conservative with water usage during showers, washing dishes, & laundry. Thank you for your consideration. Please do not be alarmed by a water truck driving onto the property, as we have a delivery every week.

We are located about 1.5 miles down a dirt road. This road is maintained throughout the year, the first ¾ mile by the state and the second ¾ mile by private homeowners. The county roads in this part of the country are always bumpy! Embrace the bumps…the quiet seclusion and brilliant stargazing more than make up for a few potholes. Keep in mind that the road gets muddy from rain and snow. At those times, 4WD/AWD vehicles are recommended. No Uber or Lyft service in this area.

**Other Key Details**

Please review our cancellation policy. We highly recommend adding trip insurance, especially in the winter, as it helps protect you from any unforeseen circumstances.

Your safety is important to us, and for that reason, we’ve installed a security camera at each corner of the outside of the property. Inside we have smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire extinguishers.

We've equipped the property with Starlink internet and state-of-the-art router equipment to ensure strong connectivity in this rural area. Starlink is widely recognized as the best satellite option for remote properties, though occasional service disruptions are possible.

The moderate summertime temperatures necessitate the use of AC for only 60-70 days each year. Please keep in mind that we do not have central AC. We do however have individual ac units for each room.

**House Rules**

~ Parties and events require written consent from the host. If you desire to have a party or event, please inquire, as special pricing will apply. Violations may result in immediate termination of the stay, with no refund. We aim to maintain a respectful environment for our neighbors.

~ Absolutely no smoking

~ Your dogs are welcome to join the luxury for an additional fee of $100 per dog. Please let us know in advance if you’re bringing your dog, to avoid cancellation. Maximum 2 dogs.

~ Guests not mentioned on the reservation must be approved for overnight stays by updating the reservation.

Welcome from Anita!

I'm Anita – adventure seeker, nature lover, and your host! My husband Brian is a Texas native, and I hail from Indiana, but these days you'll find us exploring the country together, always on the hunt for those hidden gems off the beaten path. We have adult children and a 12-year-old still at home who shares our love of adventure.

Our happy place? Anywhere with mountains, water, and wide-open spaces. Whether we're boating on a quiet lake, catching a breathtaking sunset, or gathering around a bonfire under the stars, we're in our element outdoors, exploring the beauty of God's creation.

Throughout our travels across the US, Canada, and abroad, we've stayed in countless rentals – the good, the great, and the not-so-great. Those experiences taught us exactly what makes a stay truly special. That's why we created this space with one simple goal: to provide everything we'd want in a rental ourselves.

We love meeting new people and hearing about your adventures, and we're passionate about making sure your experience here is comfortable, relaxing, and memorable.

The Grand Canyon has been calling our names for years, and when we finally answered, we were absolutely captivated. Now we can't wait to share this extraordinary place with you – where jaw-dropping views are only 20 minutes away at the Grand Canyon, and the night sky explodes with stars right from our property. Put this one on your bucket list! Welcome to our home away from home – we hope you love it as much as we do!
