Inside your tent, you'll find everything you need for a relaxing stay, including electrical outlets, a fan, and even lasers that project iridescent nebulas gliding across your ceiling for a truly immersive experience. Our water comes from a 750-foot-deep aquifer, ensuring it is both soft and clean. Remember that water in the desert is a precious resource, so we kindly ask that you limit your showers to 5 minutes. Our amenities include shared outdoor bathrooms at the bottom of the hill and indoor bathrooms at the top of the hill. We will provide you with a towel, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. You are welcome to use our common grilling areas or enjoy the fire pit located next to your dome.

At the end of the day, slip under a plush comforter and warm blankets and sleep soundly on the comfortable memory foam queen size bed.

Thank you for your understanding. Wildlife Awareness: The desert is home to various creatures, including spiders, wasps, snakes, scorpions, and other critters. While it may not be possible to keep all of these creatures at bay, properly closing the screen doors when you depart your dome or tent can significantly reduce their presence. Please be cautious of rattlesnakes; look before you step, and avoid moving or removing large rocks. We encourage exploration but prioritize safety above all else. Dark Sky Environment: As part of the Dark Sky Community, our property and its surroundings have minimal lighting. We have very few lights on our property for the same purpose. Always carry a flashlight when walking around after dark, and exercise caution to avoid any potential hazards. If possible, arrive before dark as it can be challenging to bring all your luggage up when it's dark. Respect for Desert Flora: Our property boasts a diverse array of cacti and desert plants. While these plants are beautiful, they can also be formidable, with many featuring sharp points or thorns. Please tread carefully and avoid stepping on any plants. Ocotillo cacti, in particular, can be quite large and sprawling, so be mindful of your surroundings. Please do not collect rocks or plants. Terrain Caution: As you ascend the hill, be mindful of the terrain. Off-trail areas consist of crumbly and sharp volcanic rock, making it unsafe to venture off the designated paths. Always stay on the trail, especially when going uphill or downhill. We recommend wearing sturdy hiking shoes for your safety. Emergency Preparedness: The nearest hospital is located in Alpine, which is over an hour away. Please keep this in mind and take necessary precautions during your stay.
