Other things to note
Pool and spa heating is available for an additional fee, as propane is very costly in the desert. Please inquire before booking if you’d like the pool or spa heated. The spa heating is $75 for 4 hours. Pool heating is $250 per day. This covers the actual cost of the fuel needed to heat it.
Note: Heating cannot be guaranteed, and we’re unable to offer discounts if the heater isn’t working during your stay.

Parties and events are not allowed
