The Space:
-THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE-
This property is meant to be a peaceful space for guests to connect with nature. Please do not book if you are planning to party. Quiet hours begin at 9PM – 8AM. The house is in a quiet, noise-intolerant neighborhood. Excess noise can result in fines and the termination of your reservation without refund.

Per Yucca Valley noise ordinance, sound must be kept below 55 dB during the day (about the level of normal conversation), and below 45 dB (about the level of a quiet office or whispered conversation) between 9pm and 8am. We do not allow playing music on speakers at the house at any time, as it violates these thresholds.
