Welcome to The Rebel House:
Inspired by those who dare to drift off the beaten path, here is where the dust of the road meets the wild of the West. Whether you’re here to chase the sunset or retreat and revive, we welcome you to pull up a chair, drop the needle on some vinyl, and remember: the best stories start with a little bit of good trouble and a whole lot of soul.

The Rebel House is our private little oasis in a quiet neighborhood in the Verde Valley. The house was originally built in the 1970’s, and has been updated for comfort and efficiency while retaining some of its original quirks.
The house sleeps eight. Both beds are king size, and both couches are convertible. There are smart tv’s in bedrooms and the living room, feel free to log into the available streaming apps, but remember to log out when you leave!

The Desert Room features a king size bed, lush wraparound curtains, a sitting room, and an electric fireplace. The laundry room and the back yard are accessible from the Desert Room.
The Teal Room is a vibrant, uniquely Arizona space, decorated to reflect local art and energy. The bed is king size and the loveseat converts into a full size bed.
The Outlaw Room was designed to inspire the dreamers, the yogis, and the digital nomads. Here you’ll find a large, built-in desk with places to plug in everything you need. Or unplug and relax your mind with the yoga mat and light workout equipment.
The Washroom is the light and airy full bathroom with a walk-in shower next to the Teal Room.
The Outhouse is a spacious full bath with a bathtub/shower combo great for washing up after a long, muddy day on the trails!
The Chuckwagon (kitchen) has a dishwasher, brand new refrigerator, oven, and plenty of cookware. It’s ready for any meal you’re hungry for from breakfast to a midnight snack.
Auntie Sarah’s Cafe, the custom handcrafted coffee bar, is stocked with a 12-cup and single serve coffee pot, a moka pot espresso maker, electric kettle, milk frother, and more. Hardcore coffee lovers welcome!

Settling Camp (arrival and check-in)

The Outlaw Code (house rules)
Protect the vibe. Spirits should be wild and free, but treat the walls, the records, and the neighbors with respect.
No smoking. Leave the tobacco and “outlaw herbs” for the open air, and leave the house smelling like old wood and vinyl. There is a $200 cleaning fee for any smoking inside the house.
The midnight hum. Keep the music soulful and volume low after 9pm. Outlaws need their sleep.
Train call is at 11am. Please be ready to checkout so we can prep our hideout for the next traveler.
Learning the Ropes
If you’re not sure how to use something, please ask! I’m happy to assist you.
Heat and A/C: the HVAC system is new, but the house is not. Please be mindful of energy use in the hottest heat.
Microwave: please note there is a safety feature that requires you to press the “unlock” button before you can open the microwave once food is done cooking. No matter how hard you fight it, the microwave won’t open unless unlocked if it could be full of hot food.
Smart TV’s: there are smart tv’s in both bedrooms and the living room. Apps are loaded and ready for you to log in. Please remember to log out when you leave!
Record player: pull the needle back gently. If an old record skips, it just has character. In the drawers below, you’ll find games and cards for a classic game night.
Fireplace: the electric fireplace works great and takes a gentle touch. Please, don’t use the ventilation switch on the wall, the chimney is closed until it can be repaired.
Laundry: the washer and dryer in the laundry room are new and for guest use. There is also an iron and mini folding ironing board and a table for folding.
Other Things to Note:
As soon as the sun goes down, the desert cools off. We’ve provided many blankets, but come prepared with sweaters or jackets, as well.
On the short wall of the desert room, there are linen closets behind the curtains containing extra pillows and linens, hangers, and also yard games and folding chairs available for use.
