From the moment you arrive at this comfortable and well-appointed home, you will be captivated by the expanded views and the surrounding beauty. During your stay, you will especially love stargazing from the Jacuzzi, the hammock, or the outdoor living room. In cooler months, you can stay warm by the flicker of the gas fire pit, snuggling in vintage Army wool blankets. In all seasons, you will see the glorious light change on the rocky ridge as you dine at sunset. While the park is only 18 minutes away, you do not have to get in your car to access hiking and mountain biking as there are fabulous trails that extend directly from the property. Wildlife abound all over the property, and are viewable from nearly every room in the house. At the end of the day, serve your favorite drinks and make a gourmet meal in the well-stocked kitchen, or order take-out food from one of the many wonderful restaurants, such as the famous Pappy and Harriet’s, which typically offers outdoor seating and live music.
BEDS AND BATHS
Roadrunner Ridge comfortably accommodates up to six guests in two bedrooms and a den. The primary bedroom features a queen bed, a natural wood modern dresser, and full-length mirror and an ensuite bathroom with double sinks, and tub with shower. The second bedroom has a king-size bed, ensuite bathroom, and a great view of the light changing on the rocky cove. The den, the original homestead cabin on the property, does not have desert view, is exceedingly comfortable and has a queen-size bed, a full-length mirror and a skylight. All three rooms have closets with wood hangers and luggage racks. The primary and second bedrooms have blackout shades that significantly reduce the morning light, with some light filtering in around the edges. A crib and high chair are available only upon request.
KITCHEN AND DINING
With its stainless-steel appliances, ample counter space and well stocked cabinets, you can find everything your inner chef desires, including All-Clad cookware, a Vitamix blender, and Henkels knives. Both the kitchen and the dining room have sweeping desert views that capture your attention. Keep the chef company sitting on one of three bar stools by the kitchen, and enjoy dinner in the dining room, which features a stylish live-edge table that seats eight. This beautiful wood table inspires formal and elegant dinners as well as fun and playful family brunches.
LIVING SPACE
At the other end of the sunlit great room, relax on the comfortable and beautiful leather couch or soft leather chairs with a book and coffee in the morning, or start a puzzle on the live-edge coffee table. Maximize your fun with a record player and wide-ranging collection of vinyl LPs, stream a favorite on the large flat-screen smart TV with Yamaha soundbar, or, do it the old-fashioned way and browse the extensive collection of DVDs and Blu-ray movies. For best streaming results connect your laptop to the TV via the supplied HDMI cable. Spread out your yoga mat for a refreshing morning stretch on the cool, polished concrete floors and unwind in the natural, rustic modern design of this space.
OUTDOOR SPACES
The myriad of outdoor spaces provides all sorts of experiences to make your stay unforgettable. There is ample shade and seating in both the front and the back of the house. Eat your breakfast or lunch on the wooden table on the back patio and have dinner out front at the table for eight, while watching the sunset in romantic lantern light. You can have Happy Hour on the Loll designer chairs, which are also great for gazing up at the visible Milky Way during summer nights; you can comfortably grill on the high BTU gas barbecue under the covered half of the front porch; soak up the sun or shade in comfortable front porch Adirondack chairs while watching the roadrunners or quail wander back and forth; sunbathe on the out-of-view private patio east of the house down the rock-lined path; and gently swing while snuggling with a loved one in the two-person hammock. Even more, stargaze from the Jacuzzi hot tub, cool off in the freshly filled cowboy tub (our “pool” is a 6’ diameter un heated stock tank) on a hot day, and on cool nights, warm up by the glow from the natural rock and wire framed fire pit. There is a security camera located on the electrical post by the driveway, but it is oriented away from the house and towards the road.
LAUNDRY AND CLEANING NEEDS
A washer and dryer are provided as well as detergent, stain remover, drying rack, iron and ironing board, and basic cleaning products and a few paper products to start your stay. We also provide Turkish cotton spa towels for use by the cowboy pool and hot tub, which can be found above the washer and dryer.
Please provide names of all guests and confirm that you agree to all the House Rules (in the House Rules section), when booking your reservation, and also BE AWARE...
NO PARTIES
While our property is quite beautiful and inspiring, it is not a party house and is not set up for large groups. We only allow up to six registered guests. If you want a party house in the middle of nowhere, this is not the space for you.
WILDLIFE
Snakes and scorpions can be seen in the desert usually during the evening through morning time, May-October. We provide flashlights and recommend closed toed shoes after dark – long-time desert dwellers shake out their shoes (whether inside or outside) before putting them on.
ROAD CONDITIONS
The last mile and a half leading up to the house are on dirt roads. They are easy to negotiate in a sedan type car, but sportscars low to the ground may have some difficulty. Roads my have ruts, particularly after rain.
BUGS AND LIGHTS
The desert comes with plenty of bugs that are attracted to light, so it’s usually best to keep the doors closed at night, or use screens with inside lights off.
PETS
Due to severe pet allergies in our household, pets are not allowed. Failure to abide by this pet policy will result in a $400 security deposit charge.
SAFETY
Our Jacuzzi and cowboy pool (our “pool” is a 6’ diameter un heated stock tank) are at ground level and ungated. Covers should be kept on at all times when not in use and children should be watched outside at all times.
We are located at the end of the road in a private cove and thus only the bedrooms have window coverings.
EVENTS & COMMERCIAL PHOTOSHOOTS are not permitted without prior approval, applicable permit and additional fees.
RESERVATIONS STARTING ON SUNDAY require a 4 PM or later check-in
We look forward to having you stay at Roadrunner Ridge!
