The casita is a stand alone property next the owner's home but they are not connected. The grounds were so lovely and the weather was perfect! I loved that they had green grass for my dog Max! The inside was warm and cozy with lots of room and it had everything I needed. I hope to return again soon! I had a wonderful stay! ##### Lenore W. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tracey H. 16 Oct 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Cute little bird. This casita is described as a 2 bedroom and it is not. There is a bedroom upstairs and a pullout sofa downstairs with no door. The coffee maker was filthy and the countertop was dirty. I recommend bringing some Clorox wipes. The decor was darling and the art work is beautiful. It was nice to see all the stars ⭐️ at night. ##### Tracey H. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Austin S. 3 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short and sweet We arrived later in the evening after dark so the owner of the property came out of his adjacent main home next the VRBO to direct us since it was difficult seeing. He seemed nice. We left around 5:30 the following morning before the same came up so obviously we did not stay long but everything was clean and as expected so no problems there. It did a great job of serving us for what we needed it for. ##### Austin S. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan F. 1 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing and clean Trying to find the best seat in the house when there are so many best seats was my only dilemma. Do I enjoy my toast and tea on the back patio outside the kitchen or do I take it to the deck off the bedroom upstairs? David was attentive without being intrusive. We truly felt like we were alone on a ranch. The sunsets are gorgeous from this location and the accessibility to downtown is a breeze. We made three trips to The Sawmill for excellent meals, but if you prefer to cook at the Casita, it's set up for it. The Casita is clean as a whistle and everything is coordinated beautifully. A lovely stay! ##### Susan F. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doris S. 23 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gem This is an excellent rental. A real gem! It was clean, well supplied, roomy, comfortable bed, great in every way. Very peaceful. There is a balcony. We so much enjoyed sitting there in the afternoon, reading and watching birds. Even a Road Runner made a few visits! This location is great! We are bird watchers. We were able to easily get to a number of bird watching hot spots. Stores and restaurants were close by. The owners are extremely nice and helpful. We highly recommend this rental. ##### Doris S.
