Wine Lover's Retreat: Heated Pool, Spa, Outdoors

Dear Guest: We’d like to welcome you all to our home! If you have young children with you, we would like you to know in advance that we have a 7ft deep pool in the backyard and a hot tub. As far as safety features, we have a child proof lock 6 feet high on the backdoor slider, which is the only direct access point from the house to the pool. We also have a federally and state approved safety fence that surrounds the pool in its entirety and can be installed prior to your arrival. If you elect to have it installed, please keep it stalled for the entire visit or contact the property manager for assistance in removing it. Please advise us two business days in advance if you would like it installed. Our wish is that you have an enjoyable and safe visit to the high desert. As the desert is a beautiful and special place, outdoor leisure activities can pose some safety risks! Be sure to wear sunscreen, stay hydrated, and be safe!
