MINI-SPLIT HEATING AND COOLING

Each room has its own wall-mounted heating and cooling unit with a remote.

To use:

Press POWER to turn on. Select MODE and choose either COOL or HEAT. Use the temperature arrows to adjust. Please do not use AUTO mode.

Recommended settings:
Cooling: 72–76 degrees

After adjusting, allow 5–10 minutes for the system to respond.

Avoid turning the unit off and on repeatedly.

If a unit is not responding, check the remote batteries and make sure you are pointing the remote directly at the wall unit.

If you need assistance, message us.

IMPORTANT RULES - to avoid issues with the units:

1. The AC units should NEVER be turned down below 69 degrees.

2. If the doors are open, the AC units MUST be turned off—cannot be left on.

Pool and spa heating are available upon request for an additional fee due to propane operating costs.

Heating must be requested prior to arrival so the system can be prepared for you. Kindly give us at least 48 hours notice.

The pool is heated to approximately 80–82 degrees.
The spa heats to approximately 100–102 degrees.

Please allow several hours for the pool to reach temperature, especially during cooler months. The spa typically heats more quickly.

Do not adjust heater settings or tamper with pool equipment. All systems are professionally managed.

If the spa is not warming or you have any questions, please message us and we will assist promptly.

For safety, no glass is permitted near the pool or spa.

If both pool and spa heating are reserved, we will alternate between the two as requested.

Pools and hot tubs are fantastic and fun, but they can also be hazardous. The floors around the spa and pool can be very slippery when wet. No jumping or diving, running, rough play, food or glass in the pool and Jacuzzi area.

Children should be watched at all times when outside, as the pool has no cover. Children aged 11 and under may not use the hot tub. Children ages 12 to 17 may use the hot tub with adult supervision only. Children in and around these must be supervised at all times by an adult.

Intoxicants and bodies of water are a risky combination.

Remember, you are solely responsible for your safety and the safety of all others on the property during your stay.

Please shower and wash off all makeup and lotions prior to entering the pool or spa. Please do not bring food or drinks near the pool or spa. We provide the most comprehensive spa cleaning service available, please help us maintain our pristine water. Any damage to the pool and/or hot tub, and any cleaning costs beyond the typical amount will result in extra fees.

To help us maintain the property and comply with local regulations, we kindly ask guests to follow the guidelines below.

All household trash must be securely bagged and placed inside the designated exterior trash bins located on the property. Please ensure the lids are fully closed and latched to prevent wildlife access.

Recycling should be placed in the clearly marked recycling bins. Only clean and dry recyclable materials should be placed in these containers.

If your stay overlaps with scheduled trash collection, you are not responsible for moving bins to the street unless otherwise instructed. Our team manages regular service.

If bins become full during your stay, please notify us so we can coordinate an additional pickup if necessary.

Loose trash left outside of bins may attract desert wildlife and could result in additional cleaning fees. We appreciate your care in keeping the property clean and secure.

Smoking is strictly prohibited anywhere on the property.

This includes cigarettes, cigars, vaping, marijuana, and any other smoke-producing substances.

Smoking inside the home or near entryways may result in significant cleaning fees due to odor remediation and potential damage to furnishings.

Discarded cigarette butts or smoking debris left on the grounds will result in additional cleaning charges.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a clean, fresh, and elevated environment for all guests.

During your stay, no more than the contracted number of people may be on the property. If you wish to invite others over, you must first write to us for permission. This helps us manage expectations for our housekeepers and the impact on the house, and comply with local laws.

Violation of this rule results in at least a $200 fine per extra guest per night and in some cases may result in an immediate eviction from the property forfeiture of your security deposit.

Sound travels very far in the desert. Please be considerate of the neighbors and keep music and voices at a respectful volume at all times. All guests must comply with the county-wide noise ordinance of no amplified music or loud noises outdoors after 10 p.m.

Please be respectful of the delicate desert environment and turn off whatever’s not in use. When rooms are not in use, turn off lights and fans. When you leave the home, turn off all lights and the AC systems. So on, so forth…

Joshua Tree is wilderness land. This means there are numerous animals with whom we share space. From coyotes to snakes to adorable rabbits, life is everywhere in the desert. And just like the prickly cacti that populate the area, some of these animals can be dangerous. Treat nature with respect. Do not leave food outside, and do not leave food out overnight indoors. Do not allow children to explore unattended. You are solely responsible for your safety and the safety of all others on the property during your stay.

Please do not leave exterior lights on once you have gone to bed. Light pollution is taken seriously in the desert. Please don’t take away from others’ star gazing experiences.

We’re off-grid here in the desert. Since water flows into our brand new water heater from the local water tank, keep your showers short and sweet and you won’t run out of hot water.

We are on a septic system - all food particles and coffee grounds need to be thrown in the trash. Only water can go down the drain, and no artificial materials (no more than a handful of toilet paper) in the toilets. Wipes are for trash only. The septic system doesn’t have issues when these rules are followed. Any cost incurred by a visit from the plumber for a septic related issue is to be paid by the guest.

Guests agree to leave the premises and its contents in the same condition, neat and tidy, as guests found the premises to be upon check-in.
