⢠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
⢠AC The house is cooled and heated by central AC and heat
⢠FIRE Due to the location and a current 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 and that is allowed to be used.
⢠OUTSIDE The raw desert land always tends to uncover rusty objects and glass around the yard, please be mindful and wear foot protection. This yard does tend to uncover lots of broken glass in the front and back yard.
⢠WILD ANIMALS Be sure to keep an eye out for snakes and scorpions while walking through the desert landscape. They mostly want to leave us alone, but be mindful that you might be walking through their home. If you see a snake or scorpion calmly and quietly walk in the opposite direction.
If you see a rattlesnake, please call management. We ask you kindly to not try to handle it yourself or to hurt the snake. We have a local snake wrangler that will relocate the snake without harm.
⢠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.

Weekend in the desert
The house is big and comfortable, clean and very spacious. The outside is beautiful and quite.
The kitchen equipment needs to be revised a little bit (pans and wine glasses) but overall we really enjoyed our time at the house!
Enjoyed our stay. Especially enjoyed the large yard and views. The hot tub was also great after a day of hiking!

Great location
Overall a great place and location. Fun to have the BBQ and grill, unfortunately we didnāt take advantage of the fire pit. The shades in the bedrooms were not very dark and no shades at all on the west side of the house; this effected us at dinner time with the sun shining in our eyes and privacy at night. We appreciated the simplicity of the place which contributed to a clean appearance.
For security, owner should consider putting a wooden pole at base of the sliding door.

Wonderful base for exploring JT NP
The property was great! It was clean, welcoming and very well-equipped. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen & hanging out in the garden, in the hot tub & on the terrace. Fantastic attention to detail/ thoughtful touches - including 2 large (full) water filters in the fridge.
Thank you so much!

Great place, perfect setting
We enjoyed our stay, just wish that we were able to stay longer than 2 nights. The neighborhood was very peaceful and I liked being as close as we were to the West entrance to the park.
The instructions for the fire pit were a little bit confusing, but we finally got it to work. Also wish there had been more than one coffee filter. Nonetheless, these were pretty minor issues and didnāt detract from the enjoyment of our stay.

Great stay!
We loved everything about this place! Location was great, house was clean, hot tub and fire pit were great. There were a couple kitchen amenities that were missing oddly, but if this is your jumping off point to the park, youāre hard pressed to find a better place.
