** Events -- We cannot accommodate and do not permit gatherings or events such as weddings at Spirit Wind. Guests at Spirit Wind are permitted to bring only the number of guests booked in their reservation, and no more, onto the Spirit Wind property. This a maximum of 10 people. Feel free to inquire if you have questions. **

** Filming and Photography -- Contact us directly, again this isn't a booking done through Airbnb. Be ready to provide commercial production insurance with Spirit Wind specified as one of the insured; shoot time and duration; equipment list; vehicle list...and more. There is more that goes into allowing you to use our property for production than can be encompassed within Airbnb. We'd arrange payment via Airbnb but all the details of a location booking would be arranged mostly outside Airbnb. Our location rates vary depending on project and needs.**

Other things to note
The master bedroom suite is quite private from the rest of the house, behind a heavy door. However, within the master bedroom suite itself the master bath toilet area is not completely closed from the rest of the suite. So be warned -- if you're extremely modest with your significant other, this bedroom's layout might not suit you! If this is the case you can always use the West Wing bath which is just a short distance away.

3 Car Maximum - We are trying to preserve and restore the fragile desert landscape at Spirit Wind which means our driveway space is limited. For this reason guest groups must have a maximum of three (3) vehicles unless prior arrangements are made with us in advance.

Spirit Wind has its own private patio and grill but please be aware that other outdoor amenities such as the hammock circle and horseshoe pit are shared with guests staying in the guest house. Make new friends! :-)

Spirit Wind is equipped with systems to help keep guests comfortable and secure. Indoor &outdoor lighting is on a home automation system which ties to dusk and dawn. Additionally we have outdoor security cameras to monitor exterior areas around Spirit Wind including the driveway, patio and hot tub areas.

EV charging is Level 2 and has a standard SAE J1772 connector. Charger is compatible with all EVs but an adapter may be required. For example, Tesla EVs require the J1772-to-Tesla adapter which comes included with every new Tesla EV.

Neighborhood highlights

Spirit Wind is at the southern end of Joshua Tree village near the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. The last 1 - 1-1/2 miles to the house will be on fairly flat dirt roads. Our 5 acre property have epic 360 views of the desert. It is extremely quiet and beautiful. Our property is intentionally unfenced and we have a lot of wildlife that may wander by including coyotes, bunnies, roadrunners, etc. We have another smaller guest house on the property and do have some neighbors and we ask that you be careful about sound, as noise carries a long distance in the open silent desert.
