• All tours proceed as scheduled “Rain or Shine”. If we feel that the weather will cause safety concerns, we will cancel the tour and issue refunds, or if you prefer, move your reservation to a future tour. We will post a tour cancellation notice on the Tour page HERE. Please prepare for the weather.  The evening tour can be cool with the ocean breezes that start during the afternoon into the evening.
• Allow enough travel time so that you arrive 10-15 minutes prior to the tour start time. The Los Angeles traffic can be unpredictable.
• Larger items, such as large purses, backpacks, and other cumbersome items, should remain in your vehicle.
• There is a restroom available during tours. During the check in process, the restroom will be unavailable.

Site Challenges

• The Stahl House© tours are handicap accessible. Please contact the Stahl House© HERE if you will be attending a tour in a wheelchair, or have vision or hearing impairments.
• The carport entry door opening is 32″ wide. If your wheelchair is larger than the carport door opening, please contact the Stahl House HERE.
• You are allowed to sit on the furniture during your tour.  If you are feeling like you would rather sit down and enjoy the space, you are welcome to do so.

• The pool decking does have some uneven surface areas. There are two bridges that go over the pool that require you to step up and step down. Please have someone assist you while you are on the deck area. Those with wheelchairs can stay on the flat surface and go around the pool deck to enter the house.
• A restroom is available that will accommodate a wheelchair that is 26″ wide and those with vision and hearing impairments. Please make sure that a person, from your party, is available to assist you. The Stahl House© is a historical site and we are unable to change the structure to widen doorways or bathroom areas. If your wheelchair is wider than 26″ and a restroom is required, please notify your docent(s).
• For those with hearing impairments, we do offer a tour script which will include the Introduction, Property Rules, and will touch on the Stahl House© History and the Stahl Family. The tour script is available upon arrival at the Stahl House.
