Summary:

Roadrunner Ridge sits at the end of the road, a family-owned, Spanish-style modern house tucked among boulders on five private acres beside more than 1,000 acres of protected land. Walk the trails from the property in the morning, unroll a mat in the private yoga area, then swim in the saltwater pool. As the dark-sky zone does its work, move to the saltwater hot tub and the propane fire pit lounge. Three bedrooms, each with an ensuite. The road ends here; the land keeps going.

Other Things to Note:

-Dark Sky and Neighborhood Courtesy-

Roadrunner Ridge is in a designated dark sky zone. To help preserve the night sky, please turn off outdoor patio lights when not in use; flashlights are in the kitchen drawer. Out of courtesy to our neighbors, please keep driving speed to 20 mph at all times.



-Pool Heating Fee-

Should you wish to have the pool heated to 85 degrees, please notify us in advance of your arrival, as there will be a supplemental charge per day for this service due to high fuel costs in this area. If you'd like the pool heated for multiple days, we ask that days be consecutive to conserve energy, thank you! Pool heating is not usually necessary May through September. Please note that we will need at least 24 hours' notice to heat the pool.



► $250 per night



During the winter months, please be aware that colder outdoor temperatures may cause the pool to feel cooler than its maintained temperature of 85°F. We kindly ask that you ensure this temperature meets your comfort level before submitting a request, as refunds cannot be issued on this basis.



-Hot Tub Heating-

No fee to heat the hot tub! Please note that because the hot tub is an in-ground hot tub, it is not heated constantly in order to conserve energy. It will take around 30 minutes to heat to 104 degrees from ambient temperature.



-Pool and Hot Tub Heating-

Only one of the pool or hot tub can be heated at a time. If you use the hot tub while the pool is heating, pool heating will turn off while the hot tub heats and resume once the hot tub is turned off.



-Pool and Hot Tub Service-

The pool and hot tub are serviced Wednesdays, approximately between 9am and 4pm. Please note that these times are estimates and may change slightly due to our technician's busy schedule. He will not approach the house but will go directly through to the backyard.



-Pet Policy-

Pets are not permitted at this property. Unauthorized pets will result in a $500 fee.

-Wildlife & Safety-

The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it's important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home. Guests may encounter a variety of wildlife during their stay, and while direct encounters with dangerous animals like coyotes, snakes, scorpions, bobcats, mountain lions and other desert dwellers are rare, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to keep a safe distance from these creatures when spotted. Additionally, the desert is dotted with sharp cacti and other spiky plants. For your safety, always supervise children, pets, ESAs, and service animals while outdoors. Dogs should remain on a leash at all times and be watched closely while outdoors, as they can wander into potentially unsafe situations with wildlife or plants. By booking this property, guests acknowledge the potential for wildlife encounters and assume responsibility for their safety and the safety of their group. By respecting the local environment and staying aware, you can fully enjoy the magic of the desert.



-Security Camera-

There are two security cameras facing the driveway, to monitor the number of people and cars on the property, and a third camera facing the locked trailer and the path to the shed, so we may ensure compliance with local ordinances. There are no security cameras inside or facing any private areas of the home, such as the pool and hot tub area.



-Cell Service-

Cell phone coverage in the area may be limited or unavailable depending on your carrier. Wi-Fi is available at the property.



-Damage Waiver Policy-

Each reservation requires either a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver.
