Summary:

Dakota Haus is perched among the boulders on five secluded acres in Pioneertown, with 360-degree views and no light pollution to dim the stars. Explore the Pioneertown Mountains Preserve by day, come home to the hot tub set in the rocks, then pull up to the propane fire pit for dinner outside. On cool nights the electric fireplace takes over. Two bedrooms, two baths and a pull-out sofa sleep six, and up to two dogs are welcome. Bring the dogs; the boulders are theirs too.

Some of the roads to the property are dirt and are not suitable for low-riding cars. GPS does not work here and will get you lost, so we will send you exact driving directions. We recommend arriving for the first time during daylight. Please note that there is no cell phone coverage at the property.



Other Things to Note:

-Cowboy Tub-

The pool at Dakota Haus is a cowboy tub, not an in-ground pool. The cowboy tub is drained and unavailable for guest use during the winter months (November through March) to prevent the filter from freezing and breaking.



-Cancellations-

Please review our cancellation policy closely. If you may need to cancel after the refund period closes, we recommend adding travel insurance to your booking.



-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-

We have weekly hot tub and cowboy tub cleanings on Fridays, and this day may fall during your stay. Please avoid using the hot tub immediately after it has been serviced, as chemical levels are higher than usual for a short time.

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. Please use the provided dog sheets before allowing your dogs on any furniture. Cats and other pets are not allowed due to the owner's severe allergy.

-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.
