About this cabin rental
WELCOME TO THE CABIN
Welcome! We offer a unique, 100% off-grid cabin experience 45 minutes outside of Alpine, AZ. Because we are remote and off-grid, guests must bring their own linens and completely clean the cabin before checkout. Please review our specific packing list, cleaning requirements, and rules below before booking to ensure this unique experience is a good fit for your group.
Our rustic, multi-level mountain cabin features a large wrap-around porch with stunning views of the surrounding valley, pastures, and pine trees—it is the perfect place to unplug!
BEDDING & TOWELS: Guests must supply all sheets, blankets, pillowcases, towels, and washcloths. No bedding is provided at the cabin.
THE "GUEST AS MAID" CLEANING AGREEMENT
Because our cabin is remote, professional cleaning travel fees are exceptionally high ($350). To help keep your stay affordable and save you money, we require guests to complete a thorough DIY check-out clean before departure using the provided supplies.

REQUIRED GUEST CLEANING & CHECKOUT DUTIES
Because we are fully off-grid and remote, guests are strictly required to clean the cabin and leave it in excellent condition before checking out. A full cleaning checkout list will be posted on-site in the cabin for your reference. Please ensure the following tasks are completed:
KITCHEN: Wash, dry, and put away all used dishes, silverware, and cookware. Wipe down the counters and the propane stove/oven.
TRASH: All trash must be bagged and hauled out by the guest when checking out (pack-in, pack-out). No trash may be left inside or outside the cabin.
GENERAL TIDY & FLOORS: Sweep and mop all floors. Wipe down surfaces, clear out any dirt or tracks, and ensure the wood-burning stove is safely extinguished.
CLEANING TIME BUFFER: Check-out is strictly at 10:00 AM. Please give your group a 1 to 2-hour head start on the cleaning checklist before departure to ensure all required duties are fully completed.
CRITICAL OFF-GRID RULES
Because this cabin runs entirely on solar power and hauled-in water, please review these critical system rules before booking:
NO CELL SERVICE & NO GUARANTEED WIFI: Due to our remote mountain location, there is generally no cell phone service at the property. While we may provide a satellite internet connection, connection speeds are limited, weather-dependent, and Wi-Fi is absolutely not guaranteed. Please plan to be unplugged and download any maps or check-in instructions before heading up.
NO HIGH-WATTAGE APPLIANCES: High-wattage electric heating elements (hairdryers, curling irons, electric coffee makers, or microwaves) will trip the system and are strictly prohibited. The solar power is perfect for lights and charging phones or laptops.
WATER CONSERVATION: All water is hauled in and gravity-fed or pumped. Water conservation is strictly required.
SEPTIC SYSTEM CARE: The toilet functions normally, but absolutely nothing except toilet paper can be flushed down the septic system.
HEATING & COOLING: There is no AC. We provide a few fans to help circulate the air, and summer days are easily cooled naturally by opening the windows to enjoy the mountain breeze at our high elevation. For heat, a large indoor wood-burning stove is available.
BACKUP POWER: A backup generator is on-site for emergencies only and requires prior host permission to operate.
Utility Outages: Due to our remote location, weather or other conditions may cause power or water outages that cannot be immediately restored. You are booking an off-grid experience; refunds are not issued fo utility disruptions. Please plan and pack accordingly.
