There are 6 total suites on the property, each with full private kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Our entire property is surrounded by a 6 ft tall privacy wall with gated keypad access. Guests have private access to the Cactus Suite, which is located in our main building, on the 2nd floor. PARKING There is *one* gated off-street parking space available on site per suite. Our parking spaces are suited for any regular sized vehicle (car, truck, SUV, up to a Sprinter van size) but unfortunately due to our narrow parking areas we cannot accommodate larger vehicles such as motorhomes, uhauls, or trailers. Additional parking is available for free on the street or in the Old Town paid lot across the street. Other things to note We use high quality PF Candle diffusers made from natural essential oils in our rooms to provide a mild, pleasant piñon scent. For guests with chemical sensitivities, we can remove the diffusers at your request with 24 hours notice, but we cannot make any guarantees about a fragrance or chemical free space. Our properties are regularly treated with organic, non-toxic (but very effective!) pest repellent. Still, this property is over 100 years old and is located in a historic neighborhood in the high desert. Bugs are a part of life here in the southwest. While we make every effort to keep it spotless for guests, we cannot completely control nature and therefore you may see the occasional bug, especially cockroaches. Please be aware of this and make sure you're ok with the possibility before booking. There are 5 exterior security cameras on the property which record sound and video 24/7. They are located over the parking areas, the pool, hot tub areas and gardens, the front pedestrian gate, and the front driveway gate (exterior, common areas of the property only).
