Good to know

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE MESSAGING/BOOKING: The pool and hot tub are not open for the general public but they are open to any of our guests staying on the compound. The entire property is 18+ (no kids allowed) and the pool/hot tub area is clothing optional. It’s a 6 acre property with multiple rentals so the pool is shared with whomever has rented accommodations (and including us, who live here). Sometimes there are many guests, sometimes there are none at all. The Library is a dreamscape for lovers, thinkers, and seekers—a place where beauty, privacy, and adventure meet. Tucked away from the rest of the compound, The Library offers true solitude when you want it, and easy connection when you don’t. Wander down to the shared pool, jacuzzi, and outdoor kitchen, or disappear into the hills behind the property, where hundreds of acres of pristine government land stretch endlessly—just as wild and breathtaking as anything in the national park. Inside, you’ll find a full kitchen, a king bed, a sumptuous bathroom with a double rain shower, and a massive soaking tub perfect for long, luxurious baths. Please note: this is an adults-only property. No one under 18 is permitted. The Pool The pool and jacuzzi span 80 feet—ideal for swimming laps, sunbathing, or soaking in stillness. The vibe is relaxed, clothing-optional, and deeply respectful. Most guests go nude in the hot tub, which is kept warm and ready each evening around sunset. We aim to foster a space of freedom, ease, and creative communion—with nature and one another. There are few rules here, but a few gentle reminders: Please rinse off before entering the pool or hot tub—no oils, sunscreen, or dirt. Be respectful, kind, and calm. This is a liberal, open environment, but we deeply value thoughtfulness. Some of our closest friends were once Airbnb guests. Others come here for complete solitude. We honor both paths—please do the same. If you have questions, reach out anytime. Be sure to read the reviews. I hope to welcome you soon. PS: There is a fire pit. You’re welcome to use it—only if there’s no wind and the weather isn’t too hot or dry. Bring your own wood and please use caution.

A thoughtful and creative desert escape. The pool is stunning and the location is really special. We’d like to spend more time there next time to read some of the fabulous literature.

This was our third time staying at Tao’s place. We love it because it’s a beautiful and welcoming property, very artistically designed and the Library has so many interesting books! We will definitely stay again.
