This home is private and sits off a dirt road. Most vehicles can reach the house in dry weather. After heavy rain, a 4x4 is strongly recommended. Large desert storms are uncommon, but check the 10-day forecast before you come. Hosts will work with you around major rain. Road improvements are planned to add gravel on the lowest, softest stretch to make wet-weather access easier.
The road continues past the house into a network of ranch roads that are good for hiking and biking. Please stay on the road. Land along the roads is private property.
Please take a moment to ensure your guest count is accurate at the time of booking.

OFF GRID Home: The house is on city electric, however the water supply is rainwater catchment. All members of your party must conserve water to the best of their ability during your stay. Short showers are the best way to conserve water.

ROAD CONDITIONS: The road to Infinite Skies Retreat is maintained regularly, but it may become impassible during and shortly after any rainfall. Except in emergency situations, please DO NOT attempt to drive on Gate 9 Road during wet conditions. Please do your best to be aware of the weather forecast. A 4WD or AWD vehicle is highly recommended. Please obey the posted speed limit of 25mph and use extra caution at night.

FIRES: A fire pit is available for your use; however, there are often local burn bans in effect. Please refer to the public notices on Brewster County’s website for additional information. The provided fire pit is generally compliant for use during basic burn bans, but drier conditions may warrant stricter bans. No other fires are permitted on the property.

Charcoal grills are not permitted.
No fireworks.

PETS: Pets are not allowed at Infinity Skies Retreat.

ACCESSIBILITY: This home has two flights of stairs (34 stairs in total), and no bedrooms on the lower level.

NO DIRT BIKES OR ATV`s ALLOWED: all of the surrounding roads are private and the neighbors hate these disturbances and call the police on folks that are riding on the private roads.

QUIET HOURS: Sound travels easily in the desert. Quiet hours are from 9:00pm until 7:00 am.

EVENTS: We would love to help you host your events, but prior approval is required. Message us with event inquiries!

EXTRA GUESTS: No extra guests are allowed on property beyond the total number of guests that are booked on the reservation without prior permission. Anyone who will be on the property must be added to the guest count and included in the reservation.
We do have an option to add an extra guest fee for guests counts past 11, this covers water usage, trash, laundry, wear and tear as well as housekeeping.
Bringing an RV that is self sufficient? Run these details by us for a custom quote.

NO CONFETTI ALLOWED. There will be a $100 charge for us to clean up confetti.

NOISES: The house is constructed almost entirely of metal. The steel frame means substantial stability during heavy desert winds, but a side effect of this is some expansion and contraction during the heating of the day and cooling of the night. You may periodically hear some slight creaking and knocking noises from the outer frame and upper floor as this occurs. It is perfectly normal and to be expected.
The water pump below the aircraft fuselage will run whenever it needs to supply water to the rest of the house. It is usually just for a few seconds, but it may startle you if you are standing near it.

WATER PRESSURE: This home may appear to have low water pressure, especially when you first turn on a faucet. This is quite normal and is another side effect of remote desert living. It is a result of water tanks being used in conjunction with a pump system to feed water throughout the house. When you first turn on a faucet, flush a toilet, or run any other water, the flow will be limited for 20-30 seconds until the pump automatically kicks in. When the pump kicks in, expect water pressure to rapidly increase. Do not be alarmed at the initial low water flow, and instead consider it an additional method of conservation.
The toilets my produce a gurgling noise after being flushed. This may occur due to air pockets in the water line as the water pump kicks in.

TRAILS: Please remain on marked trails only while exploring the property. A trail map is included with your Guest Welcome Packet. Use of all trails is at your own risk and is limited to hiking only (with the exception of vehicular roads, such as Gate 9 Road). Please note that trails have loose rocks and steep drop-offs, and are not advisable for young children. You must be a guest of Infinite Skies Retreat to utilize hiking trails on the property. Stay on the trails.

HUNTING/GATHERING: Hunting is prohibited on the property, as is collection of any live animal. Please do not dig up or collect any plants from the property, including cacti.

SECURITY: There are two outdoor surveillance cameras on the property for your saftey - one looking up the driveway and one overlooking the parking area. These cameras are not monitored live for you privacy, but footage is available for a very limited time in case of incident.

ALCOHOL/DRUGS: Smoking or drug use of any kind is strictly prohibited both indoors and outdoors. Consumption of alcohol should be in moderation and only for those of legal age. We ask that you refrain from using any trails or roads during, or shortly after, the consumption of alcohol. Please use proper judgement!

DAMAGE/THEFT: Guests are responsible for any damage sustained to the property during their stay – this includes both the house and any recreational amenities, such as trails. Respect the house, the surrounding property, and anything in the house as you would your own, and leave it whole for other guests to enjoy after you. Theft of any kind will not be tolerated and will be treated in accordance with the law.
