Important Property Details & Considerations
Road Access
The final stretch of road to the property is unpaved and made of caliche. While an SUV or truck is helpful, it is not required.
Phone Signal
There is no cell phone service at the property. Please plan accordingly.
Wi-Fi
The property is equipped with limited satellite internet. Connectivity may vary depending on weather conditions and usage.
Rain & Tipi Design
Traditional tipis have an open structure at the top and cannot be completely sealed. During rainy conditions, it is possible that a few drops of water may enter the space.
Cooling Systems
Portable AC systems are provided but may struggle to maintain low temperatures during extreme heat. These systems typically cool the interior by about 20 degrees below the outdoor temperature and function best once the day begins to cool down.
Wear & Tear
Due to the natural environment and structure type, some wear is to be expected. Canvas surfaces may show signs of dirt, staining, small rips, or tears.
