Yá'át'ééh (Hello in Navajo).

In all, there are 8 accommodations. Nicely spaced in a general area. Our ranch is a perfect basecamp for adventure as we are ideally located near all areas of attraction - Lake Powell Horseshoe Bend, the Colorado River, Antelope Canyon, the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Bryce, Zion, and Marble Canyon.

The accommodation is well-appointed. Original artworks. Furnishings by All Modern and Quinze & Milan. Outfitted with the basic necessities one will need for a pleasant stay - All bedding, thick extra warm down comforters, linens, Pendleton wool blankets, and sleeping bags for good measure. Candles, lanterns, and a solar light. Books, games, and a bottle or two of water. You'll also find amenities such as towels, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush in your accommodation.
Again, all accommodations are off-grid - no electricity/ no running water.

We are medium to high desert - warmer or strong sun days and cooler nights. Our ranch is at an elevation of 5500'. Please bring the appropriate clothing for the environment and climate at this time of year. Please check the weather reports. Please bring the proper clothing for the environment and climate- layers, closed-toed shoes, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, mobile chargers for devices, and plenty of drinking water to stay hydrated, as there is no running water.
The Toilet Facilities:
There are several shared, well-serviced, well-maintained, airy, cleaned, and sanitized daily modern outhouses/portapotties with tanks on the property.
THE WAY TO BATHE:
Shash Dine' respects that water is a precious commodity in the desert. We have a communal/shared "camp shower." The camp shower is a two-stall privacy structure. Solar Powered/propane-heated. It is hot water on demand. We provide well water sourced 30 miles away and brought to the homestead. There are no private wells on the Navajo Nation. As it rains so infrequently here in the medium to high desert, and water is an absolutely precious resource, please be conservative with water. Also, please be respectful of other guests and clean up after yourself. Amenities of shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and toothbrush, towels, etc., will be available in your accommodation.
This stay is very minimalist. One will be immersed in nature. Set in outstanding natural beauty.
