Stargazer is a shared property with Little Dipper Studio (another Airbnb listing) which can be booked together if you’d like more space and/or the property all to yourself.) Big Dipper and Little Dipper are separated by 40 feet and a common lawn. They have separate driveways, parking, and outdoor seating. There are external cameras on walkways, garage, and entrances that monitor 24/7. Game room (in heated garage) is for Big Dipper guests only and you have access with the same smart lock code as for the front door. EV charger (Supporting Tesla and other brands) is available as it’s located in the driveway designated for the rental. The master bathroom has a 4’ deep jetted tub that’s considered a “hot tub” by Airbnb’s description parameters. \*\*\*\*CA will be doing rolling blackouts this summer.

We ask that you never leave your pet unattended, never allow them up on furniture, in beds/blankets, and please clean up after your dog.

These blackouts effect power (we have a back up generator) and internet. We have no control over when these blackouts occur, and while they’re short in duration, they can be an inconvenience. Most guests who experience the blackouts understand it’s temporary and enjoy the peace and quiet of this amazing property; however, if you are one that needs to be connected 24/7 with zero interruptions than this may not be the property for you. Please consider this prior to booking as there are no refunds due to inconveniences. Finally, please remember that this is a rural property that is shared with Mother Nature.
