Summary:
The Outlaw comes with its own western town: a real saloon, a chapel with a working bell, and a train you can sleep in. Featured on Netflix's World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals, the renovated house sits on 17 acres in Pioneertown, with trails out to the nature preserve. Ring the bell, pour at the saloon, then sink into the hot tub on the Ipe deck over undeveloped wilderness, with a seasonal cowboy tub (closed November through March). Walk to Pappy & Harriet's. Saddle optional.

Other Things to Note:
-Cowboy Tub-
The pool at The Outlaw 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.
-House-Specific Rules-
► 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 due to the owner's severe allergy.

-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 are exterior cameras facing the driveway and the front door entry. There are no cameras inside the home or in the backyard.
-Cell Service-
There is no cell phone coverage at the property. Wi-Fi is available, so please download maps and directions before you arrive.
-Damage Waiver Policy-
Each reservation requires either a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver.
