We love four-legged visitors around here 🐾💛
Just a friendly reminder that while dogs are welcome on the property and at our RV sites, they aren’t allowed inside motel rooms.

If your pup joins you, please help us keep the grounds beautiful by cleaning up after them and using the designated pet relief areas rather than the courtyard. We appreciate your help in keeping things comfortable for everyone — humans and pups alike!

Step through the archway and into a slower pace of life. 🌸
Mountain views, blooming flowers, quiet mornings, and the kind of peace that’s hard to find these days.

Out here, the nights are dark, the stars are bright, and the rooms are cozy. ✨
Exactly the kind of place you’ll want to come back to after a day in the desert.

6 months ago, things got a little weird (in the best way).
Couches, chaos, and one of the most fun weekends we’ve ever had.
Feels like it’s about time we do it again…
Couchfest 2026, anyone? 🛋️✨

Hello, May 🌙
A new month means a new moon phase calendar, and this one has a date to circle: May 16th brings the new moon, which means our darkest skies and some of the best stargazing nights of the month.

If you’re planning a star party, Milky Way viewing, or an astrophotography trip, aim for the nights surrounding the 16th for the clearest cosmic views.

As always:
🟢 Green = best dark-sky nights
🟡 Yellow = partial moonlight
🔴 Red = bright moon, limited visibility

Plan ahead and let the skies guide your stay. 🌌
