Nexus · Whirlpool, Cowboy-Bad, Feuerstelle, EV-Ladestation

Summary:

In a quiet corner of Pioneertown, close to the Black Rock Canyon trails, Nexus is a crisp white two-bedroom house that sends you outside. Come back dusty and rinse off in the outdoor shower, take the cowboy tub behind the breeze-block wall (closed November through March), then trade it for the hot tub as the hills go gold. After dark, the fire pit glows under the slatted pergola. Two ovens inside, a Level 2 EV charger out front. Trailhead by day, fire by night.

-Outdoor Amenities-

Mornings start on the covered patio, with coffee at the long wood table and agave growing right up to the edge. Unroll the yoga mat in the shade before the day heats up, then head for the trails. When you get back, rinse off in the outdoor shower tucked behind white breeze blocks, and cool down in the cowboy tub, which sits beside the breeze-block wall. It is a cowboy tub, not an in-ground pool, and is closed November through March.



In the afternoon, stretch out on the covered lounge at the far end of the patio, where a long built-in sofa and a patterned rug face open desert. As the sun drops, the hot tub on its stone pad looks straight out to the hills. Then fire up the BBQ grill and pull the wood lounge chairs in around the fire pit under the pergola, with the wall lights glowing behind you.



-Living Area-

The living room is built around a long white sectional and a round wood coffee table, with a ceiling fan overhead and a wall of glass sliders onto the patio and desert. There is a TV, board games, books and a yoga mat, plus high-speed internet that works well for remote work.



-Kitchen and Dining-

The fully equipped kitchen has a curved white breakfast counter with open shelves for bowls, pale oak cabinetry and windows over the counter that frame the desert. It has a refrigerator, two ovens, a cooktop, a microwave, a dishwasher and the basics, including pots, pans, plates, cups and utensils. A coffee maker, coffee beans, a grinder and sugar are provided. Gather at the round wood dining table under a white pendant for an easy dinner, with the patio slider open to the evening.

Other Things to Note:

-Cowboy Tub-

The plunge tub at Nexus is a cowboy tub, not an in-ground pool. The cowboy tub is drained and unavailable for guest use during the winter months (November through March) to prevent the filter from freezing and breaking.



-Hot Tub Rules-

Please rinse off any oils, lotions or other substances before entering the hot tub, as they affect water quality. No drinking in the hot tub, please. Keep the cover on when the hot tub is not in use, since desert debris easily gets into the water. Misuse of the hot tub may result in an additional maintenance charge.



-EV Charger-

The EV charger is a Level 2 (220V) port. Please bring your own charging cable and connector.



-House-Specific Rules-

► Approved early check-in and late check-out requests are $50 per hour.

► Please keep music at a reasonable volume and turn it off by the start of quiet hours.



-Pool and Hot Tub Service-

We have hot tub and cowboy tub cleanings twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, and these days may fall during your stay. Please avoid using the hot tub immediately after it has been serviced, as chemical levels are higher than usual for a short time.



-Pet Policy-

We welcome your dogs! There is a $100 per dog per stay fee, limit of 2 dogs maximum. Please note on your reservation how many dogs you are bringing. There is an unauthorized pet fee of $500. Please use the provided dog sheets before allowing your dogs on any furniture. Cats and other pets are not allowed.

-Wildlife & Safety-

The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it's important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home. Guests may encounter a variety of wildlife during their stay, and while direct encounters with dangerous animals like coyotes, snakes, scorpions, bobcats, mountain lions and other desert dwellers are rare, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to keep a safe distance from these creatures when spotted. Additionally, the desert is dotted with sharp cacti and other spiky plants. For your safety, always supervise children, pets, ESAs, and service animals while outdoors. Dogs should remain on a leash at all times and be watched closely while outdoors, as they can wander into potentially unsafe situations with wildlife or plants. By booking this property, guests acknowledge the potential for wildlife encounters and assume responsibility for their safety and the safety of their group. By respecting the local environment and staying aware, you can fully enjoy the magic of the desert.



-Security Camera-

For your security, there is a Ring camera at the front of the house and a few Blink cameras around the exterior. There are no cameras inside the home.



-Cell Service-

Cell phone coverage in the area may be limited or unavailable depending on your carrier. Wi-Fi is available at the property.



-Damage Waiver Policy-

Each reservation requires either a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver.
