We understand, now more than ever, how all of our pets are contributing to our sanity and have become even more essential. We love dogs and have two labs on the property. We keep them close to us at all times so that they never bother any of our guests. In fact, many guests don’t even realize that we have two dogs on the property. They are very much a part of our family and we take them with us wherever we go. We also have two friendly indoor/outdoor cats that frequently roam the property keeping the mouse population at bay.

We ask that if our guests desire to bring a dog(s), (there is a limit of up to 2 dogs), that they get prior written approval, from us for the dog(s).

In the event that interaction should occur between our guest’s dog(s), us, our dogs, and/or cats, no aggressive dogs will be permitted. We also ask that the dog is always in the care and company of a human and the dog(s) must be on a leash while outside on the property, Guest assumes all responsibility of their pet. If any damage or excessive cleaning occurs, the Property Owner reserves the right to charge the Guest for the damage and/or for excessive cleaning if necessary.

Also, it is important to note that dogs are not allowed on Zion National Park trails with the exception of the Pirus Trail.  We also can connect you with a dog sitter, or a nearby dog day care facility should you desire one, as well as show you areas that you can enjoy walking with your dog (off-leash if you like) on BLM land that is nearby and adjacent to Zion National Park.

The following information represents our desire for a harmonious and safe experience for our guests and the property:

We ask all of our guests to do their best to follow the “golden rule” of treating our place the way they would like visitors to treat their home and other than the necessary general cleaning, that they leave it as they found it. We also add a Ghandi twist of being the change they want to see in the world. This seems to open the door of kindness, accountability, trust and awareness for all involved. We also encourage all Guests to read the Guest Book when they arrive as it contains important/useful information about the property as well as many experiences from previous Guests.

Now for the specifics:
There are many crystals, stones and beautiful rocks that have been placed in the building/home/lodge as well as throughout the grounds. Please enjoy their beauty without removing them from where they have been placed. It has taken years and a lot of dedication and love to assemble this collection and we would like to continue to share their beauty with all the guests to enjoy, while they are on the property, for years to come. Unfortunately, we have had guests that did not understand this and have taken some of these items in the past. Please make sure that all who accompany you onto the property are also aware of this policy.

Property Owner will not be held responsible for any unforeseen accidents that occur on or in our property during your stay. Please be cautious and think “safety first”. The Guest understands that staying at this property carries certain risks associated with snow and ice conditions, mountainous/high desert/wilderness uneven/rocky terrane areas and that those certain inherent risks cannot be eliminated. The Property Owners are not responsible for any accidents, injuries or illness caused by the Guest that occurs to the Guest, or people invited onto the property by the Guest, while on the premises or its facilities.

By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all Guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm caused by the Guest arising from their use of the premises or others whom they invite to use the premise.

Although we never have had a theft/break-in, for best practices, we ask our guest to lock the doors when they leave the property and either take the key to the front double doors with them or place the key in the lock box by the front double doors. Property Owners are not responsible for any loss of Guests’ personal belongings or valuables.

Guest assures that they will abide by all local, state and federal laws and utilize the property and facilities in a safe manner. Property Owners total liability will be limited to Total Rental Fee paid by Guest.  Guest will not use the Property for commercial purposes of any kind without written consent of the Property Owners.

Guest acknowledges that snow removal and ice control is not included as part of this agreement.

Regarding checking in early: If you have obtained permission for an early arrival, please note; Our cleaning crew will start right away at 10:30am and be completed with preparing the villa for you by 4pm. However, they can complete the kitchen first, so please feel invited to come and place things in the refrigerator as well as enjoy the grounds any time after 12:30pm.

Should you choose to arrive early, there are many things to do nearby while you wait for the cleaning crew: There are many caves and hikes to explore and enjoy right from the property.

However, if subsequent to your cancellation the Property Owner is able to obtain a different renter for any or all of the cancelled dates, then whatever Rent Monies received by the Property Owners for those cancelled dates will be refunded up to the Total Rental Fee.

Damage/Security Deposit:
Guest agrees to pay (included in the Total Rental Fees) a Property Damage Protection Insurance of $59 to cover up to $1500 of damage to the Villa and its belongings. Therefore, a security deposit is not required, however if any damage occurs to the Villa and its belongings, during and due to the Guest’s visit, the Guest will assume full responsibility.
