** Cleaning Protocols ***
As the only professional management company in the area, we have always maintained exceptional cleaning standards. We pay above the living wage standards; 100% of your cleaning fee is paid to the cleaners (i.e. no profit to us) and we insist on a professional level of cleaning between guests. We love the High Desert for a lot of reasons - including the open spaces, lack of crowds, and dry weather that we believe make it a safe place to visit.
Guest Access:
You have access to every room and feature of this beautiful home.
If you need a little more space, Shelter: Two can also be rented in conjunction with its sister property, Shelter: One, which sits on an adjacent 2 1/2-acre parcel of land. This is the perfect arrangement for larger groups.

Beauty and Comfort
Windows everywhere, the beauties of the desert surround you while you enjoy the comforts of home-plus-spa. We used the lovely outdoor shower most of the time, with or without a trip to the hot tub.
Instructions (and flashlights) are provided for navigating power outages in this rural area. When I lost internet, contacting management was a challenge, with one intermittent bar on my cell phone.

Wonderful home with beautiful views
This is great location, a mile outside the park's West Entrance, with breathtaking views of the surrounding desert and mountains. The home is very well appointed, clean and very comfortable. We will be back again!
