FAQs
What makes your vacation home Autism safe?
Our property is completely fenced in with a 6ft fence with locks on the double gates and alarms on the walk-in gates. There are additional fences within the property for extra security so you can have eyes on your loved ones at all times. The inside of the home has been fitted with adjustable lighting options, sound options, and limited breakable items.
What do you have that caters to Autistic Families?
Our home has a low sensory room, that allows very little light in, has only beanbags and soft sitting options. This room also doubles as a theatre room fitted with a projector and screen mounted high for safety. There are multiple sensory items; including swings, sensory toys, weighted blankets and outdoor games. For the adults we have areas that help you to feel relaxed
Where are you located?
Our home is located in Yucca Valley CA and is roughly 7 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park.
Why is there a 2 night minimum stay?
AUTXcapes is an experience for the whole family and we want you to enjoy everything we have to offer. Anything less than 2 nights also makes the cleaning fee rather expensive. So to offset this expense the more nights the cheaper it is.
Will I get charged for damaged items?
From our experience this is part of the reason that this community may not travel. If something happens we encourage our guests to reach out to us so we can work with them directly.
Can I bring my service dog?
Absolutely! we have made our home dog friendly. With the exception of 2 rooms (kids room/theater room) within the home.
Is this home wheelchair accessible?
Unfortunately, AUTXcapes has a couple of places where there are steps in the home. Additionally, the access to the mini golf area is a dirt pathway. Because of these we are not 100% wheelchair accessible. In the near future we hope to make some adjustments to accommodate.
