YOUR PETS MUST BE BOOKED AS WELL. I live next door on site & run a small private cat rescue sanctuary so you may be visited by some of our kitties while hanging outside! If you'd like to have some of the cats inside as your fellow roommates during your stay, please let me know. Otherwise I will be sure to keep the cats from entering the cottage during your stay, but they may be lingering around outside the cottage. Some of the proceeds from the Kitty Cottage will go to building a Cattery for safety & comfort of our little furry kids with warmth in the winter. Dogs are welcome but should be contained as the back fence of the property borders Cane Beds Road. Our garden is beautiful all summer, my labor of love makes it feel like a true oasis covered by lush shade trees, keeping it cool during peak summer days. Children are certainly welcome! A small camping tent can be provided for the lawn area and we can also supply you with a cot for inside the cottage- please let us know at the time of booking. Guest access We are on site to greet you when you arrive. You will have the whole cottage with both patios and a parking space. It is private with soft fencing. The lawn is for your use but might be shared with other guests in our other little cabin, located next door. We live on site and am available as needed. Other things to note We run a small, private informal but official 501.c3 cat sanctuary/rescue with a limited number (10-15) cats throughout the property. Some of the proceeds from the Kitty Cottage will go to building a Cattery for safety and comfort of our little furry kids with warmth in the winter. All of our cats are trained to use the bathroom outside, there is no litter box/no litterbox smell inside the cottage at any time. We have a microchip activated cat door so only a select few (the kitties that we feel would be no problem for guests) are allowed to enter. If you are a cat lover and wish to have our cats around during your stay, let me know and they will be welcome inside and outside the cottage throughout your stay. If not, no worries. Let us know at time of booking, we will block the door and that will prevent any cats from entering inside the cottage. Working Remote? An extra monitor can be provided & a printer (on the same wifi) is available in my house next door. Let me know at time of booking if you're interested in either. There is a tiny cabin next door that I also rent out for short term rentals so you may see other guests during your stay. I live on site and am currently renovating the interior of our adobe home located adjacent to your unit so you may see me during your stay. There is some road noise in the summer from people going out to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park (20 minutes from us) to enjoy their 4 wheel off-road vehicles but due to the ruralness of the town, overall it's quiet and peaceful. Popular Destinations: 20 minutes to Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, 30 minutes to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, 40 minutes to Kanab, UT, 1 hour to Zion National Park, 2 hours to Bryce Canyon National Park, Page,AZ & the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We have a full sized grocery store, Bee's Marketplace, less than 10 minutes away. Please note: the North Rim Grand Canyon does not open until May 15th and closes Oct. 15th. It's a lovely & scenic 90 minute drive to the Park Entrance, from here. Climate: Located at an elevation of 5,000ft, weather tends to be very mild with lots of sunshine in the spring/summer. Springtime (April-May) is beautiful with highs in the 80s. During peak summer months, July & August, temperatures can get up to 100F so please plan accordingly. The monsoon rains throughout the fall bring the temperatures back down with the possibility of light snow in the winter months. If you happen to make it in the winter, it is absolutely breath-takingly beautiful with the snow of the Vermillion Red Bluffs! Cell Phone Service: IMPORTANT! We are located back in a canyon and there is no cellular coverage. The wifi is super fast and guests can use 'wifi-calling' on their phones (please be sure your phone has the 'wifi-calling' capability), we use it all the time to make phone calls and texting works well with no problems at all with both iPhones & Androids. Just be aware that the cell signal drops once you leave the highway so be sure to download/pre load all navigation maps prior to the drive. Once on site, you won't have any issues. Host Availability: Your host, me, is onsite and will be available to help with anything you need. I am in the building only 30 ft away and will look after the cats myself or if I happen to be away, I will have my property manager look after everything, cats included. May you have safe & beautiful travels and I hope I can meet you soon!
