Other things to note
Embracing Nature & Farm Life
We are thrilled to share our beautiful 235-acre sanctuary with you! Because we are wonderfully immersed in the Yosemite wilderness, you will be sharing the outdoors with local wildlife (like deer, bears, and the occasional snake or bug) and native plants (including poison oak and ivy). We recommend keeping doors closed and staying aware of your surroundings so you can enjoy nature safely.

Lake & Land Exploration
The private lake and trails are yours to discover! Please note that there is no lifeguard on duty. To ensure everyone's safety, all land and water activities are enjoyed at your own risk, and the hosts cannot be held responsible for injuries or accidents. We kindly require all guests to read and sign our brief property disclosure before heading out to access the lake and trails.

Wildfire Safety & Smoking
Protecting this beautiful landscape from California wildfires is a top priority for our community.

Fires & Grilling: Please only enjoy fires in the designated backyard fire pit. We have provided a BBQ for your use; we just ask that you leave it in its current spot.

Smoking: Our home is entirely smoke-free indoors. If you smoke outside, please be incredibly cautious. Always use proper disposal methods for cigarette butts, as tossing them poses a severe wildfire risk and carries heavy penalties.

Thank you for helping us keep the farm safe, beautiful, and ready for your unforgettable trip!
