Desert Environment — What to Expect

The Sandhouse sits in a genuine high desert landscape, and that’s a big part of what makes it extraordinary. It also means guests should be aware of a few things: Desert wildlife is part of the experience. The property is located in natural desert habitat. Guests may encounter lizards, birds, insects, and occasionally other desert animals. This is normal, expected, and a reminder of the wild beauty surrounding you.



To keep everyone comfortable and safe:

∙ Do not leave food or drinks outdoors unattended — this attracts wildlife

∙ Keep doors closed when not in use

∙ Shake out shoes left outside before wearing

∙ If you encounter wildlife, observe from a respectful distance and do not attempt to interact



This is their desert too — we simply get to visit.



House Rules & Quiet Hours

To protect the experience for every guest and neighbor:

∙ Quiet hours are strictly observed from 10PM to 7AM

∙ Use of speakers is strictly prohibited

∙ No outside vendors or events without prior written approval

∙ All waste must be properly disposed of — leave the estate as you found it

∙ Pool and spa areas must be used responsibly

∙ For the security of all guests, exterior cameras are located around the property perimeter.



We trust our guests to treat this estate with the same care and respect they’d want in their own home. Violations of house rules and/or local laws may result in additional charges or security deposit deductions.
