ANV operates under a special use permit granted by the USDA Forest Service, adhering to their rules and regulations. Additionally, ANV’s frontcountry yurts and cabins are managed in accordance with Airbnb's policies. The following actions may result in guests being asked to leave the property without a refund:
- Verbally or physically mistreating staff or other guests
- Damaging property owned by the USFS or ANV
- Ignoring instructions from ANV staff or USFS personnel
- Disregarding USFS fire restrictions
- Using marijuana inside or outside the units
- Smoking inside the units
- Hosting unauthorized guests or events
- Creating excessive noise or disturbances after stated quiet hours
- Engaging in illegal activities on the property
- Trespassing or entering restricted areas
- Leaving trash or personal items behind
- Using the units for purposes other than their intended use (e.g., commercial activities)
- Vandalizing or tampering with safety equipment, including fire extinguishers and alarms
- Engaging in activities that violate local, state, or federal laws
In consideration for being permitted to use the yurts at Arizona Nordic Village (“ANV”), I acknowledge and agree to the following:
- I understand that the use of our accommodations and trails involves inherent risks, including, but not limited to:
- Wilderness Travel: Unpredictable road and trail conditions, and travel in mountainous terrain with obstacles that may not be visible.
- Altitude Considerations: The cabins/yurts are located at an elevation of about 8,000 feet. This elevation can lead to altitude sickness and other health complications, such as high-altitude pulmonary or cerebral edema. Guests with existing health conditions, particularly heart or respiratory issues, should consult a healthcare provider before visiting.
- Outdoor Activities: Risks associated with hiking, biking, skiing, snowshoeing, and other activities in a wilderness environment.
- Physical Strain: The physical demand of hiking or traveling at high elevation can cause exhaustion, dehydration, muscle strains, or cardiovascular stress, particularly for those not accustomed to strenuous activities.
- Dehydration or Heat Exhaustion: The need to drink enough water at higher altitudes to prevent dehydration and/or heat exhaustion, particularly if engaging in physical activity like hiking or biking.
- Limited Services: Use of remote cabins/yurts with no communication systems or running water. Our off-grid facility depends on solar power and other limited resources, which may not reliably support medical devices (such as C-PAP machines). Guests with medical equipment should bring their own reliable power sources or consider staying at another facility.
- Limited Medical Facilities: Risk of delayed access to emergency medical care or a lack of facilities for immediate treatment if an injury occurs.
- Inexperience or Lack of Preparedness: The risks associated with visitors who may not have sufficient knowledge, skills, or equipment for wilderness travel or staying in off-grid accommodations.
- Lack of Facilities for Special Needs: The risk of inadequate facilities or accommodations for people with mobility issues or other special needs due to the remote and rustic nature of the venue.
- Changing Weather: Rapidly changing weather conditions, potentially extreme temperature changes, and storms in mountainous terrain.
I understand that the cabins/yurts are located in a high elevation wilderness environment, requiring good physical conditioning and skills. By booking this unit, I voluntarily assume all risks associated with staying at ANV, including potential injury, paralysis, or death.
