Other Things to Note:

-Cowboy Tubs-

The pools at Heaven's Door are two cowboy tubs, not in-ground pools. The cowboy tubs are drained and unavailable for guest use during the winter months (November through March) to prevent the filters from freezing and breaking.



-BBQ Rules-

The BBQ is connected directly to a gas line. Please do not use charcoal, wood, lighter fluid or any other fuel, as this can cause serious damage, fire or an explosion. Turn the gas off after each use, never leave the grill unattended, and brush and wipe down the grates after cooking. Using unsafe materials will incur an extra cleaning charge, and damage caused by misuse of the grill may result in additional fees.



-House-Specific Rules-

► Please keep music at a reasonable volume and turn it off by the start of quiet hours.

► Please avoid using the hot tub right after it has been serviced, while chemical levels are temporarily higher.



-Pool and Hot Tub Service-

The hot tub and cowboy tubs are serviced Tuesdays and Fridays, and service may fall during your stay. Our technician will go directly to the backyard.

We welcome your dogs! There is a $100 per dog per stay fee, limit of 2 dogs maximum. Please note on your reservation how many dogs you are bringing. There is an unauthorized pet fee of $500.

-Wildlife & Safety-

The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it's important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home. Guests may encounter a variety of wildlife during their stay, and while direct encounters with dangerous animals like coyotes, snakes, scorpions, bobcats, mountain lions and other desert dwellers are rare, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to keep a safe distance from these creatures when spotted. Additionally, the desert is dotted with sharp cacti and other spiky plants. For your safety, always supervise children, pets, ESAs, and service animals while outdoors. Dogs should remain on a leash at all times and be watched closely while outdoors, as they can wander into potentially unsafe situations with wildlife or plants. By booking this property, guests acknowledge the potential for wildlife encounters and assume responsibility for their safety and the safety of their group. By respecting the local environment and staying aware, you can fully enjoy the magic of the desert.



-Security Camera-

For your security, there is one Ring camera facing the driveway and entrance area, and it is on and active during your stay. There are no cameras inside the home or in any private areas in the back.



-Cell Service-

There is no cell phone coverage at the property. Wi-Fi is available, so please download maps and directions before you arrive.



-Damage Waiver Policy-
