Answers

About the house

How do I check the price for our dates?

Choose your arrival and departure dates and guest count in the booking calendar. It shows the nightly-rate total for your selected stay. Pool heating is an optional extra; confirm its cost and any other charges before committing.

Does sending a request confirm our booking?

No. The booking form sends a stay request, not a confirmed reservation. Include your name and email so your dates and arrangements can be followed up. Do not make non-refundable travel plans until your stay is confirmed.

What should we confirm before assigning bedrooms?

The house has 7 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms and sleeps up to 20 guests. Ask for the bed sizes and room-by-room sleeping layout before allocating rooms, especially if your group needs separate beds or bedrooms.

What do we need to arrange for pool heating?

Request pool heating before your stay and confirm the additional fee. It is not included by default. The hot tub is kept warm separately.

Can we bring extra visitors or hold an event?

Sleeping capacity is up to 20 guests; that is not an event-capacity allowance. Discuss additional visitors, celebrations, outside vendors or organised retreat sessions before booking so permission and any conditions can be confirmed.

What should we check for children or limited mobility?

Two Pack ’n Plays are provided. Ask about pool access and barriers, steps, bathroom access and the room layout before booking. Accessibility features and additional child-safety equipment have not been confirmed.

Can we bring pets, and what are the cancellation terms?

Confirm the pet policy and cancellation terms before committing to the stay. Neither is currently published here, so do not assume pets are allowed or that a reservation is refundable.

Which arrival and practical details should we ask for?

Confirm check-in and check-out times, the exact address, parking arrangements and Wi-Fi details before travelling. Downtown Borrego Springs is approximately 4 minutes from the estate. For a working retreat, also confirm the connection and equipment meet your needs.
