We think it’s important to do what we can to minimize the environmental impacts of tourism. We've tried to minimize our footprint as much as possible, both with design and lifestyle, so you will notice shaded terraces and decks that keep the hacienda cool, solar energy, bamboo flooring in kitchen and living room, etc. Here’s some other ways we are striving to lighten our footprint and those of our guests: **Increased our solar panels and now produce the majority of the energy needed to run our property. **Water conservation with drought resistant, low-water landscape **You will find delicious dark roast coffee waiting for you that comes in plant-based, PLASTIC-FREE coffee pods that are compostable. **Filtered drinking water is available in each unit, so NO Plastic water bottles need to be used during your stay. **Refillable amenity dispensers to reduce use of plastic bottles **Wool Dryer Balls: reduce drying time and save energy. *Remember - California is in a drought, so please help us to minimize water use. TESLA - ELECTRIC VEHICLES: We have an EV charging station, and happy Tesla guests say they get 5 miles per charging hour (Additional fee of $15 p/day to use charging station. *Please let us know you need the EV station at the time of booking.
