Guests will have full access to the home plus the expansive gated desert backyard. The observatory is located on the fully gated property and only registered guests of Observatory Retreat will have access to the observatory and other amenities. All guests entering the property, whether staying the night or not, must be included in the reservation. Observatory door keypad is disabled until proper guest count is verified. Access to the observatory is granted from approximately sunset to midnight unless during this time the forecast shows: • Wind speeds more than 25 mph: No access permitted. • Wind speeds 15-24 mph, rain or snow, or 100% cloud coverage: Access permitted, but dome power will be disabled (no opening roof). You may still enjoy the ambiance, relax and listen to music. • Note: Access eligibility based on the hourly forecast from sunset to midnight on weather dotcom based on projection at approximately 4 PM.
