DragonflyHill Desert Farm and Wildlife Habitat is an emerging space with new features changing regularly.
Currently we have habitat viewing areas, an herb garden, an orchard and palm trees.
As a farm, we may be a bit more rustic than your typical farm to allow for shelter for local wildlife.
Plant varieties, wildlife and presentation may vary by season.
Our farm specializes in herbs, fruit trees, desert and native plants, and edible flowers.
We also grow some sprouts and microgreens indoors.
We cultivate community and share what we grow with our neighbors and our guests.
The pool pond is filled with local mineral water from our own well.
The pool pond is cleaned professionally twice a week & is chlorinated.
The pool pond is not cleaned daily and is shared with wildlife.
Debris from high winds and wildlife may contribute to the pool pond environment.
Currently neither the pool pond nor the spa is heated.
We are looking into passive solar heating options that are affordable and sustainable.
Access to the pool pond must be arranged with Dragonfly Team members; keys to the pool pond area must be signed out.
Two adults must be at the pool pond at all times.
Guests traveling alone can arrange with Team members to assure access to the pool pond area.
Other things to note:
For stays over 28 days we will require a security deposit ($300), an application and a background check.
Background check fee is $40.
