Created as an artist’s personal getaway and creative space, the home offers something far beyond a standard stay. Original artwork, polished concrete floors, thoughtful interiors, collected details, and the quiet beauty of the desert come together in a setting that feels both inspiring and restorative. It is part private retreat, part lived-in gallery, and entirely shaped by a strong sense of place.



This is the kind of home that changes your pace the moment you arrive. Mornings feel slow and expansive. Afternoons invite reading, creativity, yoga, cooking, and wandering the expansive property. Evenings are for sunsets, magical golden hours, the hot tub, the outdoor fireplace, and a sky full of stars.

IMPORTANT: COUNTY RULES (PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING)

Outpost Projects is located in San Bernardino County — a fun fact, it’s the largest county in the U.S. and home to some of the most expansive desert landscapes in the West. With that scale comes a bit of structure: the County requires all short-term rental guests complete additional registration and acknowledgements prior to arrival. After booking, you’ll receive a secure link to complete the required forms. We ask that this information be completed within 24 hours of booking so we can finalize your reservation and focus on preparing for your stay. These steps are required by the County and help protect the home, the desert and the surrounding community. Failure to complete the required County forms may result in cancellation of the reservation.



COUNTY REGULATIONS AND COMPLIANCE

Outpost Projects operates as a short-term rental under San Bernardino County regulations. Compliance with all County short-term rental rules is mandatory for all guests and visitors. Violations of these regulations may result in enforcement actions, including fines, termination of the reservation and removal from the property, as permitted by law.



OCCUPANCY

Per County regulations, the property is limited to a maximum of 4 guests at any time. This includes children and daytime visitors. Exceeding these limits is a violation of County code.



OUTDOOR FIREPLACE AND FIRE RESTRICTIONS

The outdoor fireplace is available to enjoy and can be a beautiful part of your time in the desert — when conditions allow. Fires are permitted only within the designated outdoor fireplace and are not allowed during fire restrictions or on windy days. Due to changing weather and safety conditions, we cannot guarantee that fires will be possible during your stay.



The desert is a fragile environment where wildfire can start and spread quickly. We ask that you use care and good judgment in helping protect the home and surrounding landscape.



FIREWOOD

Guests must provide their own firewood, which can be easily purchased at most grocery and convenience stores throughout the high desert.



CHECK-OUT AND LATE DEPARTURE POLICY

Check-out time is 11:00 AM. Unless arrangements have been made in advance, the home must be fully vacated by this time so our team can prepare the property with the level of care required for incoming guests. Turnovers are carefully scheduled, particularly on same-day arrivals.



LATE CHECK-OUT REQUESTS

We always make every attempt to honor late check-out requests made in advance and when the schedule allows, these are generally accommodated at no additional charge. Any late check-out must be approved by us prior to departure time.



SMOKING

Smoking (including cigarettes, marijuana and vaping) is *only* allowed outside. Cigarette butts must be disposed of safely and properly, not just tossed on the ground. Hosts reserve the right to charge a minimum fee of $500 if there are signs or evidence of smoking or vaping inside.



PETS

Up to 2 dogs are allowed per stay with prior approval and payment of a pet fee. This fee helps ensure the next guests will never know a dog was lounging around. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. An additional fee may apply for pet waste left in the yard. Unauthorized pets or failure to pay the pet fee may result in additional charges or cancellation of the reservation. Dogs must be kept on leash any time they are outside the fenced area and should never be allowed to roam freely. As this is the desert, we ask guests to keep a close watch on their pets at all times, as coyotes, snakes and other wildlife are present.



HOT TUB

Use of the hot tub is at your own risk. No glass near the hot tub. Please shower before and after use. No dogs in the hot tub. No children in the hot tub without adult supervision.



DAMAGE

We understand that accidents can happen. If anything is damaged during your stay—whether to the home, the property, or any of the curated items inside—we ask that you let us know as soon as possible. Prompt communication allows us to address the issue quickly and thoughtfully, helping minimize impact to the home and ensuring future guests continue to enjoy the space as intended. We approach these situations with fairness and care, and appreciate your transparency.



FACTORS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL

We are not responsible and do not provide refunds for issues outside of our control, including but not limited to weather-related events or power outages. These issues are rare but unpredictable.



Because the home is located in a remote desert environment, guests should expect the natural elements that come with it — including wind, dust, critters, rodents, and wildlife. We thoughtfully prepare the home for each stay, but the desert is not a controlled environment, and part of its beauty is that we are sharing space with the natural world around us. Your help is appreciated in keeping the home comfortable by not leaving doors or unscreened windows open and by not leaving food out, as these small precautions go a long way in the desert.



SECURITY CAMERAS

There are three outdoor cameras on the property. One directed towards the front door, one directed towards the back door, and one directed toward the exterior of the detached art studio. There are no interior cameras.
