Most of it is flat terrain - it could serve as a playground for kids or hangout space for adults. You will be amazed by the depth of the canyon below and the mountain on the opposite side. However, the yard is not fenced and younger kids should be supervised by adults. Please make sure you do not go beyond the point where the terrain suddenly changes to steep rock cliff. Be aware that you can meet wildlife on the yard - most often you can see deer. We are in a bear country however bears are rarely seen on our property. Please do not leave any food or garbage outside - this would attract wild animals. Our quiet cul-de-sac is also a great place where our kids ride a bike, roller skate etc. If your kids want a real playground, there are 3 (!) just 0.3 miles walking distance at Barranca Elementary school.About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 12:00 PM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About customRules:Quiet time after 10pm.Please keep garbage inside due to wildlife,No cutting or hot pots on wooden kitchen counter or tables (chopping board, placemats and coasters provided).About checkIn:Check in after 3:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 18.About events:No events allowed.
