From road 150 headed towards the canyon turn (sharply) left onto road 230. Follow 230 until you see the 'Hacienda del Valdez' sign on your right. This is a dirt road and 4-wheel drive is required. Follow the road up the hill. The condo building is on your right (the 3-tiered building). Park in front of or to the right of the building and follow the middle red staircase to Unit 10. Your studio is one of the three located inside.

- This studio is one of three uniquely designed units on the property.
- The studio does not have air conditioning. This is typical for mountain homes at this elevation, as the climate keeps the space naturally cool and comfortable at night.
- IMPORTANT: Cell service can be limited in the canyon. We highly recommend saving your door code, driving directions, and WiFi information offline before you arrive to ensure a smooth check-in.
