About this property

Trails Sister- Calm on the Edge of Town

Trails Sister is a peaceful, north-east-facing house that is adjacent to House of Trails. It is conveniently located 5 minutes from Alpine,but outside of town enough to see the beautiful night skies.

Comfort and calm pervade this two bedroom, 2 bath home, replete with a full kitchen for all your away-from-home meals. The living room features a full size futon. The porch is lovely for viewing the sunrise, and a shady haven during the afternoon sun. Trails Sister also has covered parking and a fenced yard. There are 6 acres to hike up "A" Mountain that includes a switch back path that takes you almost to the very top where the best scenic views are.

Trails Sister uses all natural cleaning products which we believe are good for our guests, our cleaners, and the environment.

Included in your stay is the use of a hiking trail that goes down to Blue Water Natural Foods, or half-way up ‘A Mountain’ to a sweet bench. Evening sunsets are beautiful from this vantage point.

The area around the pond is a common area that can be enjoyed by guests and residents living close by.

Trail's Sister is conveniently located in very close proximity to the local natural food store. Blue Water Natural Foods is the perfect place to pick up food and other items for your stay! You will find a discount card inside the home.

Pets only with prior notice and a $40 pet fee which we will request a few days before arrival.

Please do not allow pets on the furniture.

Please dispose of pet waste in the metal bin.

** Please be aware that the desert terrain can be quite harsh for pets that are not used to it and Trail's Sister features a natural and native environment. Dog shoes are recommended for dogs that are not acclimated to the desert.

TV - There is not cable or satellite service, however he TV is a smart tv and you can log into your own accounts to watch shows.
We have just a couple of rules:
1. No Smoking
2. No Parties or Events
3. Pets only with prior notice and a $40 pet fee which we will request a few days before arrival.
4. Please swim in the pond at your own risk. It is a natural pond with fish, snakes and turtles. Please only use the beach towels outdoors.

Also beware that we have the property regularly treated for pests. However, if you leave food or crumbs out it is very likely to attract ants into the property.

** Please watch for rattlesnakes. They are part of the native landscape. Keep an eye on your pets. If you see one, please leave it alone and slowly back away.

A Quiet Place in the Country
The place was exactly as advertised. Quiet and peaceful. One night when driving onto the driveway I saw 5 deer in the yard.
