Is this home family-friendly?

Yes! We LOVE kids and babies. In fact, while we don’t have children of our own, many of our friends and family do. To help make your stay comfortable, we have a brand new 4moms breeze plus playard (all-in-one playard, crib, bassinet and changer). The bassinet can be enjoyed from birth to 18 pounds, the flip changer up to 25 pounds, and the durable playard until 30 pounds. We have 5 sets of 100% cotton crib sheets (thoroughly washed on high heat settings prior to your arrival), although we understand if you would like to bring your own. The breeze playard mattress dimensions are 28.5 inches x 41 inches and you can purchase them here.

In addition to keeping your child comfortable through the night, mealtimes are just as important. For your convenience, we have a Stokke Clikk High Chair, suitable for ages 6 months to 3 years of age.

How is the home cleaned between stays?

We are committed to ensuring we uphold the highest standards of cleanliness, and we also want to ensure we help prevent the spread of COVID-19. We have adopted Airbnb’s 5-step enhanced cleaning-process as well as a few of our own increased safety measures.

Step 1: Prepare

All rooms are ventilated prior to cleaning.

We use powerful plant-based formula cleaners that is safe for the whole household. Our surface cleaner formula is made of coconut derived actives and jasmine essential oils instead of harsh solvents and chemicals.

How are you helping prevent the spread of COVID-19?

Practicing social distancing

In lieu of meeting you in person, we have installed August Locks for no-contact guest check-in and check-out. We are also available across booking services and text throughout your stay in the event you need assistance. The home comes equipped with a comprehensive guide that should satisfy any questions you might have about the home functions, locations of items and how to get around Lake Arrowhead.

Wait before entering the property

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests waiting as long as possible (at least several hours) before entering a space occupied by a person who may have been exposed to COVID-19. We space our bookings with 3 days between each guest. This waiting period allows ample time for ventilating the home, limiting anyone’s exposure to aerosolized virus droplets that may be in the home and plenty of time for our cleaning staff to thoroughly clean, sanititize and restock the property.

Wear protective gear while we clean

Our cleaning staff wears protective items like disposable gloves and masks to help provide additional protection.

Empower our guests

We’ve heard from guests that they want the ability to clean during their stay. We have cleaning supplies you can use, including:

• Disposable paper towels

• Disposable gloves

• Multi-surface cleaner

• Disinfectant wipes and spray

• Antibacterial hand sanitizer

• Extra hand soap

• Free and clear laundry detergent and access to washer and dryer

What sets your home and you as hosts apart from all the other Airbnbs?

Our commitment is to take immediate action to reduce our environmental impacts as well as help contribute towards ending discrimination through meaningful experiences of human connection.

Fighting Discrimination and Bias

We believe in a world of belonging without discrimination. Our home was designed as a space for you to feel safe, respected in and welcomed without being appropriative. This is your vacation after all!

Our home is open to every culture, gender, sexual orientation, background, belief and race.

We actively take steps to surface understanding and empathy when biases become part of the decisions we make. As such, we have completed three instructor-led training courses backed by academic research that offer actionable strategies to increase our awareness of and counteract unconscious bias. These courses further support how to be a better ally of all genders, races and backgrounds. We have watched Airbnb’s “Cross-Cultural Hosting” webcast, hosted by David King, Airbnb’s Director of Diversity and Belonging. We continue to take these opportunities to learn through training courses, open dialogue, accepting feedback. The work isn’t close to done, but we hope that we are responsibly making progress towards building an inclusive community.

We are inspired by the diversity, vibrancy and cultures of our world and can’t wait to hear the many memories all of our visitors might share with us in our guestbook.

We welcome feedback and encourage our guests to share tips on how we can expand our hosting skills to all travelers.

Sustainability Practices

We prioritize sourcing organic, zero-plastic and sustainable brands across our amenities, such as soaps and cleaning products. The toiletries offered are in plant-based bottles, we use recycled paper products and our textiles in the home are organic (no pesticides, insecticides or other harmful toxins here!).

We prioritize digital over print-based communications and have implemented energy-efficient upgrades into the home across our appliances, lightbulbs, thermostats and water heater.

We do ask that you recycle, unplug devices when they are not in use, and be mindful about your water usage when in the home to help contribute towards reducing our environmental footprint.

What should we know about Lake Arrowhead?
