The Private Bathroom is off of the Main House with a private entrance (200ft from room). From the parking area to the room, it is roughly 400-500ft.

The network itself can be spotty at times because of our location in the foothills. The casita has a wifi extender that boosts the signal.

Leave the partying to the hotels please, this is our home. ** Please respect the no smoking rule as we are in a high fire risk zone!! The Hideaway and the Main House are comfortably tucked into the countryside. We do our best to maintain our indoor boundaries with the outdoor creatures. That being said, we are in nature and our insect friends may pay a visit. Additionally, the footpath is manageable with luggage etc. however, there are scattered rocks and tripping hazards so tread with caution. From the parking area to the room, it is about 400-500ft.
