To help preserve our peaceful neighborhood rhythm and ensure a safe, comfortable stay for your group, please keep these guidelines in mind:
HACIENDA GUIDELINES
-Quiet Hours: 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Please keep deck and patio noise down during these times out of respect for our foothill neighbors.
-Firm Policies: Our entire estate is strictly 100% smoke/vape-free, pet-free, and shoe-free to protect future guests with severe allergies. Specialized deep-cleaning fees apply for violations.
-No events or parties without prior notice and approval
-SEPTIC: We operate on a sensitive septic system. To avoid clogs, please do not flush paper towels, trash, feminine products, or "flushable" wipes.
-Home Decor & Art: Please enjoy our curated records, books, and artwork on both levels, but ensure they stay with the home for future guests to love.
THE FOOTHILL ENVIRONMENT & SAFETY
-Deck Safety Note: A safety gate for the upper deck stairs is scheduled for installation soon. Adult supervision is required for young children on the deck.
-Country Wood Stove (Lower Level): Available seasonally. It is strictly closed during high-risk fire season and under local fire restrictions.
-Seasonal Pond: Typically fills with winter rain and dries by June. Children must be closely supervised when outdoors near the water.
-Property Grounds: Most of our 0.75-acre lot is unfenced. Please respect neighbor property lines while exploring.
-Safety & Wildlife: The railroad-tie stairs near the hammock get very slippery when wet. This is a nature-rich area; admire all local wildlife (from deer to standard outdoor critters) from a safe distance.
