Couples, Families, & Desert Peace Seekers only, please.
Welcome to Sunset & Sunburst where every amenity offered in the Joshua Tree Basin converges on a single listing. In its former life, this was a 1978 desert-tract-ranch. Now, once you make a quick lap of the inspiring compound, you may find yourself never wanting to be anywhere else.

You are making a STRICT | NON-REFUNDABLE booking. We strongly suggest all guests procure traveler's insurance. We also graciously ask that guests not request refunds for reasons outside of the hosts' control. You are choosing to book this listing and live like a local. As a result, you may be subject to POWER OUTAGES (of unlimited duration), WATER OUTAGES, SNOW EVENTS, RAIN EVENTS, WIND EVENTS, or PERSONAL ILLNESSES which are all outside of the hosts' control. NO REFUNDS.
Other things to note
When inquiring/booking the listing, please be sure you are booking for the correct number of guests in your group. Each guest beyond 1 guest (guest #1 is the person booking the property - you) is $25/guest/day+tax/fees. Pets are also subject to the same fee as guests. Please use the "Pet" selection at booking along with the correct number of pets. Daytime guests must also be disclosed at booking. Any undisclosed guests of any kind are subject to a $100 fee per guest and additional booking fees.
Late check-out fees may apply if you are ANYWHERE on premises after 11AM. Please respect the hosts' and crew's schedule (which is extremely strict). Crew can/will enter the premises anytime after check-out.
Our floor is polished concrete which can get pretty cold in the winter. If you have a cozy pair of socks you like, you should bring them for wearing around the house.
In the desert, critters are simply a fact of life. Just a warning for those wary of bugs; even though we have the house professionally cleaned after each guest, and we use humane methods of mitigating pests where possible, we simply can't avoid the occasional critter(s) from breaking in. This includes critters related pool/spa amenities at the property. The existence of bugs in/around pool/spa amenities are 100% out of the host's control.
To be clear: bug/critter sightings inside or outside the home are possible. If this is a problem for you, BOOK ELSEWHERE. NO REFUNDS.
Southern California is inhabited by abundant predatory wildlife including but not limited to: coyotes, bears, snakes, raptors, rodents, arachnids, and scorpions. Although we have had exactly zero issues with any of the above, you must be very vigilant with your loved ones to keep everyone safe from local wildlife.
We are on a fragile septic system here in the desert. PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH ANYTHING OTHER THAN TOILET PAPER DOWN THE TOILET! This includes but is not limited to baby wipes (or wipes of any kind), feminine hygiene products, facial tissue, paper towels, hair, etc. These things WILL clog the system and you will not be able to use the shower, sinks or toilets.
For photo shoots/films and anything else similar, please contact us first for permission.
The record player's needle can easily be broken. We have backup needles if this occurs and ask that you alert the host and we can help you replace a new needle if needed.
Spa & Cowboy Pool: Please note that the spa/cowboy pool are located in one of the dustiest regions on earth. Even though both are cleaned/balanced/vacuumed immediately prior to your arrival, there is a 100% chance that there will be dust/sand/dirt in them. Please also note that the H₂O from the Joshua Basin aquifer is high in chromium-6. This can cause the water to not be crystal clear and/or can cause excess surface bubbles if the jets/oxygenation are turned on. Skin irritation/sensitivity may occur as a result of this trace element. There will also likely be insects in the water features. This is uncontrollable (especially in the spring/summer). The Cowboy Pool was also Rhino-lined to promote longevity of the feature. The water might appear to be slightly green/grey depending on the time of day as a result of the liner. If any of these uncontrollable facts make you even slightly uncomfortable, please do not plan on using the water features.
REITERATIVE TRAVEL ADVISORY. There is a FORESEEN LIKELIHOOD of snow events, rain events, wind events, and outage events resulting in road closures. Especially November-March. YOU ARE ADVISED TO GET TRAVELERS INSURANCE. We uphold your agreed upon cancellation policies to the letter. NO REFUNDS.
LIABILITY WAIVER - By making your reservation you and the other members in your party as THE GUESTS agree to release THE HOSTS from all liability, including financial responsibility relating to injuries & personal property damage that may occur during your stay. You understand that using the hot tub, hiking and climbing anywhere on the property is at your own risk and that special risks may be involved with using the hot tub and hiking and/or climbing and/or using the bikes.

Finally, have fun, but treat the house and wildlife on the property with respect. It is a piece of history and we put a lot of love into it and we want our future guests to enjoy it as much as you. Thank you!
