We look forward to hosting you! Guest access Parking is in front of your guesthouse, no fuss self-check-in. Other things to note The owners, Dan and Amanda, live in the separate main house. Our hosting style is to give guests ample privacy but we sure enjoy saying hello and having a chat if we see you and you are keen! We do use the pool and spa ourselves (or our house sitter if we are away) so you might see us there very occasionally, but no other guests on the premises. No smoking anywhere on the property. This is a desert environment, we take safety seriously. Any evidence of cigarettes and/or joint will incur a $500 fine and a report to Airbnb.
