You might encounter a (harmless) pack of wild javelinas at night prowling around the compost feeding area, an occasional raccoon, or skunk, squirrels, chipmunks and rodents of all kinds, lots of small, dinosaur-like lizards sunbathing on the boulders and patio.

GUEST ACTIVITIES & GUIDELINES: Dear Treasured Guest, We hope the following paragraphs answer your questions about where to park, plus using the (seasonal) solarium-covered swimming pool, trampoline, bicycles, kayaks and paddle boards. Also, where the trails are as well as the many enjoyable activities to experience here at Heaven on Earth Retreat and beyond. Take note that our wireless systems are only 4G, not 5G. So if you have a 5G phone it may or may not work here unless you change the settings to 4G. The SEASONAL (April - Oct) SWIMMING POOL is located inside a plexiglass SOLARIUM. Simply walk over the bridge to passing the trampoline and lawn on your right. Enter the pool at either end. The doors are delicate. Please feel free to keep the doors open while you are using the pool (if it the air is too warm) for fresh air, then close the delicate doors when you are done. We aim to keep the pool at approximately 80 to 85 degrees F. However, during cold spells in April and October the water may be closer to 70 degrees, and on rare occasions in the 60s. THE CLIFFTOP DOME IS AVAILABLE as a shared space, usually enjoyed for quiet personal yoga, meditation and relaxation. No food or sleeping in the Clifftop Dome please. Kindly return all pillows, yoga mats and blankets neatly to their places. POOL RULES: POOL HOURS are 7 am until 9 pm.

Please be sure you and the KIDS USE the SHOWER AND THE TOILET before entering the pool.

Please feel free to use the pool's strainer or net to clean any ant (you may save a life) or leaf from the top of the pool. The pool is cleaned daily. Because this is a wildlife sanctuary and the wild animals count on drinking from the pool occasionally, it is a very very slightly chlorinated pool, rather than salt water pool. The TRAMPOLINE is available to a maximum of two guests at one time. Bounce on the trampoline if you like. Please remove your shoes prior to entering the netted trampoline. Please feel free to sweep the trampoline if there is any debris on it. The broom and dust pan are lying on the outer edge of the trampoline. The trampoline is swept by staff every two days.

Then, after 200 yards, look for the wide low flat trail that intersects the road. Look for the small map on a posted sign next to the intersection of the rough road and wide trail. Walk UP the trail, which is called a White Spot Trail because you will follow the white spots about the size of an apple that are painted along the rocky way every few yards as your guide. Be sure to bring a camera because there are wonderful photographic opportunities high up along the way. This is a short yet spectacular loop trail along an amazing network called the Granite Gardens Trails. MORE TRAILS: The PEAVINE TRAIL is Prescott's most famous trail. To access the trail by foot or bicycle: walk to the end of our Lake Fork Rd. Turn left. Turn right at the stop sign. Walk up the hill.

The surrounding nature is very serene and peaceful, we explored the granite rocks literally right outside the door, as well as the many trails surrounding the property. At night we spent our time on the roof stargazing and listening to the night sounds. We took a couple relaxing dips in the hot tub too which was great after our hikes! Downtown Prescott is a short drive away for dinner, shopping, and breweries. We also played disc golf at a brand new course at stunning Watson Lake which is about a 5 minute drive. Happy and John were great hosts that were very easy to get ahold of by email or by phone. They greeted us at checkin and were great with recommendations. This place is very unique and right in the middle of nature! ~ Don Close to downtown Prescott, a short drive to Jerome, and a day adventure to Sedona.

The setting is outdoorsy but very comfortable. We appreciated heaters in every room as the nights were cool. Happy is very accommodating and kind.

John and Happy were incredibly kind and welcoming. A unique and wonderful getaway. We will definitely come again and would recommend this place to anyone! ~ Kelly Great find!

I have been to hotels just before arrival to this place, and am writing this message after spending a night at a hotel right after Happy and Free's house. I slept better in their house than anywhere else in a long time. Upon arrival, the house was spotless (and we thought we left it that way, too), the beds were very comfortable, towels were thick clean white and there was plenty of them. The internet worked great and I did not miss the TV a single bit. Thank you for your hospitality.” ~ Kari from Finland “Thanks for having us in your home.
