Hidden Gem cabin/10 min- BBNP/Private+great views!

Mel's Place cabin is for 2 adults, 21 yrs old and over, seeking a quiet, peaceful desert experience. No smoking inside No pets No outside visitors without prior permission, please No burning candles or flame of any kind in the cabin. Battery operated candles provided The property is 20 acres which is mostly east and south of the property, towards the Chisos mountains. Feel free to explore it. Please do not harvest any firewood from the land. IMPORTANT: Please be careful not to wander onto my neighbors land to the west. You can see the property line behind the cabin and runs along the driveway. They are unforgiving about accidental trespassers and will call the police. *Please be sure everyone staying understands this. I wouldn't want any of my guests to have a bad experience. The cabin operates on 13 watts of solar power (plenty), and either rain water catchment, or hauled in well water, both are filtered on site. While you will have sufficient power and water for your stay, It is necessary to conserve resources and to be mindful of power and water usage. Thank you. Stay on the roads. The desert eco-system is very fragile and takes years to recover from tire damage, if at all. Note **During the monsoon, or rainy season that can occur in summer, May through September, occasional severe isolated thunderstorms can cause brief flash flooding in the dry creeks/arroyos, which may temporarily keep you from leaving or getting to the property. The dirt road is bentonite clay, which makes it difficult or impossible to drive on when it's wet. It does dry out fairly quickly, usually within hours, but depending on previous rain or cloudy conditions, it may take longer to be passable. We never know how much rain we might get during the "rainy" season as the showers are isolated. Monsoon season takes place during summer here, which is low season. During high season, October through April, the chance for rain is even more rare, but keeping an eye on the forecast before and during your stay is a good idea. I will notify you as well, if any weather is coming that may affect your stay. Please download the airbnb app to your phone so it's easier to receive a text message from me vs an email. The desert is a wild, beautifully harsh untamed place. Be prepared to go with the flow if the weather happens to change. Storms in the desert make stunning photos!

The cabin and 20 acres, mostly south and east of the cabin. The property line is directly behind the cabin, where you park, and the majority of the property lies in front to the east (towards the mountains and south towards the road in). Please do not wander across the property line north or west of the parking area. The neighbor is unforgiving. I live on site 400 feet from the cabin. Far enough to not affect your privacy or mine.
