BOULDERHAVEN
Surprisingly Spacious!
Rosel Jensen and Flora Johnson built this home in the late 1930s. Their oldest son, Zen was Huntington's youngest Mayor at age 25. He, with his five sisters, Shirley Elizabeth, Bertha Mae, Joan Flora, Beverly, and Bessie Gay were raised in this home. Large rooms and beautiful arched doorways enhance the feeling here.
February 2021 Update, we just finished tiling the kitchen floor. Enjoy!

More Arrival Info
BATHROOM:
Don’t flush sanitary items. Put them in the garbage can that is next to the toilet. When showering, make sure the bottom of the "inside" shower curtain is inside the tub to keep the water from running onto the bathroom floor.
LAUNDRY:
Washer and Dryer are in a room adjacent to the kitchen.
Washer: select a water level, low, medium, or super. After that...when in doubt do what your Mom taught you, or, I usually select the "Regular" cycle for 10 minutes, and "Cold/Cold" for the water temperature.
Dryer: I usually select Timed Dry for 30 minutes on Medium heat and check to see if the clothes are dry and if needed I set additional time after that. Of course, towels take much longer than sheets.
SAFETY & SECURITY:
A fire extinguisher is located on the wall inside the laundry room to the left.
CO2 and Smoke Detector
There is a smoke/CO2 detector in the hallway just outside the bathroom/bedrooms.
The house has some childproofing but don’t leave children unsupervised as there are plastic garbage bags in bathroom drawers, cleaning supplies under sinks and possibly other hazards.
A PARK ACROSS THE STREET
The Huntington City Park is directly across the street, with the Elementary School (with a playground) directly behind that.
There is, usually, WiFi at the park. You can find more Park Information here.
FEEL THE PEACE:
We think you'll feel at home here. The streets are wide, the air is fresh and the night sky full of stars!
THINGS TO BRING OR PICK UP ON ARRIVAL:
We provide enough to get you settled. For large groups or stays longer than a couple of days you may need to pick up Toilet Paper, Paper Towels, possibly dishwasher or laundry detergent, wood for the fire pit... There are a few kitchen essentials although they may get depleted. We restock when we're in town.
HAVE WHAT YOU NEED
Let us know if we need to get anything to make your time at our place better. We can't/won't guarantee every request, but we did have someone ask if there was a fire pit and we had a cement patio poured and got patio chairs and a fire pit before they arrived!
Thank you and Enjoy your stay.
End DIGITAL OVERLOAD, and Breathe the Fresh Air!
The stark scenery, strikingly blue skies, star filled sky at night, and, at times, mezmorizing clouds and fresh air will capture your heart and help you feel at home here. When you get a closer look at the castle shaped mountains, the vast desert canyons, and the large boulders near Joes Valley, your life will be forever changed!
