House Rules

Private Room in a Sober-Oriented Home.

We offer private rooms for people with a minimum of three months (90 days) sobriety. This is a perfect transition from a sober-living house to a more a new SOBER and independent life. Rent includes a clean and private room and a Bathroom shared only with 2 other roommates (not 6-10 as in many sober homes). This is a 100% straight-edge sober environment (no one will be shooting up in the bathroom after hours). No boozers or users of any kinds permitted on site. when you stay with us, you are starting out with FULL RESPONSIBILITY for your new sober living situation, but with the support of a Landlord, roommates, neighbors and community that wants you to SUCCEED!

*** If you are an individual who does NOT have a history of substance addiction, you are also welcome to rent a room in our home. We simply ask that you limit your social drinking to outside of the house, so that temptation is not available for anyone here who may have substance issues.

Basic House Rules

1. Be Impeccable with your Word: 
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love.
2. Don’t Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
3. Don’t Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

Additional House Rules:

  1. RECOVERY IS #1: Full-time residents are expected to be working with a 12 step sponsor (AA or ACA), medical professional and/or other guided program or mentor-ship of their personal choice, or to at least be involved in some form of recovery or spiritual program of their choice. Minimum 3 meetings per week.

  3. NO SMOKING: Cigarette smoking only allowed on the front porch bench. ***Cigars and pipes may be allowed outside on ceremonial occasions.
  4. KEEP A CLEAN HOUSE: Residents agree to perform household chores and keep all communal areas of the house immaculate house (kitchen/living/bathroom). Each resident is responsible for keeping their own room neat and clean, including washing their bed linens once a week.

OLD Detailed House Rules and Requirements

These House Rules were setup when we were running WholeWay home as a strict sober-living oriented environment back in 2012. Now they serve as rough guidelines for the kind of conduct that is accepted around here. They should mostly make sense to you and be the way you are already living…
Mainly we follow the Golden Rule.


The following rules are intended to make your stay at WholeWay Home a positive experience. Rules do not mean we are treated like children. By spelling out these rule so explicitly it simply means we are all mature people who can handle responsibility and are able to follow common sense and have good manners! It’s like the saying goes, “fences make good neighbors.” When all parties know what is expected of them, we keep drama and unnecessary conflict to a minimum.

  1. Resident is committed to RADICAL life transformation and is clean/sober at time of application.
  2. While in on our property, all Guests, Visitors and Residents will be expected to respect  and maintain a roughly vegetarian, GMO free, loosely macrobiotic type diet geared towards LIVING FOODS.
  3. Absolutely no flesh-based foods are permitted in house. Lacto ovo  (dairy and eggs) is acceptable. Residents are encouraged to limit their intake of flesh foods while outside of the home to ethically raised, organically fed and free-range animals.
  4. Residents are expected to not bring any artificially flavored, colored, fragrance or genetically modified (GMO) items into the home. Residents will be asked to remove these items from the premises.
  5. Residents are expected to pay it forward and be interested in helping others in their quest for health and encourage other to WAKE UP.
  6. Residents understand that WholeWay Home is about diving into the deep end of the pool in terms of personal recovery and acknowledge that some items may be uncomfortable or difficult to adhere to, but Residents agree to act on faith and to “white knuckle” it to get through to the other side and give anything and everything suggested the benefit of doubt.
  7. Full-time residents are expected to have a minimum of 90 days sobriety and to be working with a sponsor, medical professional and/or other guided program or mentor-ship of their personal choice, or to at least be involved in some form of recovery or spiritual program of their choice and be interested in taking steps to improve their mental emotional and spiritual health.
  8. No alcohol or drugs or pharmaceuticals are allowed anywhere on premises. NO cigarette smoking allowed anywhere on premises. Any regular use of drugs or alcohol will be cause for the immediate forfeiture of rent and immediate discharge from WholeWay Home. **Cigars and pipes may be allowed outside on ceremonial occasions.  **Ceremonial use of fermented beverages on special occasions are the exception to this rule. Alcohol is a ‘special occasion’ food. 🙂
  9. Sorry no fur pets on site. Pets with scales or feathers may be allowed.
  10. Full-time residents agree to perform regular household chores as posted. New Residents should let staff know if they have a preference for a specific household chore. Each resident is also responsible for keeping their own area neat and clean, including making their bed and washing their bed linens regularly.
  11. Residents are expected to abide by a reasonable schedule. There are no Curfews, however, residents are expected to use courtesy and respect in their daily noise and light activities.
  12. We try to have a House Meeting once a month after our Friday Shabbat, and attendance is highly encouraged. The meetings cover house matters, health and recovery.
  13. The taking or using of another resident’s property (including food) without the owner’s permission will result in immediate discharge from WholeWay Home.
  14. Residents should furnish WholeWay Home with a rough schedule and alert management if they intend to be gone for long periods of time and provide estimated time of return. We let you know the same. We all look out for one another.
  15. Sleeping in common areas is not allowed.
  16. Eating is allowed in kitchen, dining and outdoor patio areas. Exception to this rule is during Special Events or social gatherings.

Best Sleep in Years

"This was a truly peaceful space and I had the best sleep in years. It was very clean throughout. The proximity to everything was very helpful as I navigated Vegas for the first time. This is a terrific space to escape the revelry of the Strip - trust me, you will need to, and still have all the amenities you need, as well as a time capsule environment to set a fun tone to your visit!"

Perfect Cure for the Strip

"This was a perfect cure for the strip blues. If you wish to renew yourself from the frenetic nature of Las Vegas while being in Las Vegas I couldn't suggest a better place. The bed is lovely and comfortable. But I must say, ending my days watching the sunset while relaxing in the hammock at the end of the day was amazing. It was so amazing I really didn't want to leave this oasis. And bonus, they have an array of fruit and nut trees. I highly recommend staying here."

Convenient and Quiet




"The house is in a convenient and quiet location, not far from the Strip and downtown. Bus stop in less than a minute walk away, supermarket 5 mintes walk away. Your stay place is semi detached from owner's place so you have privacy. You will find everything you need in a house, it's a fully furnished vintage style apartment."
