The grounds were well manicured with beautiful flowers and a pond in the backyard was the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the cool weather. The kitchen was spotless and was well furnished with all items for cooking. The furnishings inside were well maintained and very comfortable to relax in after exploring the town. The host and hostess made us feel like family during our stay. We highly recommend this casita, and we will return. Thank you! ##### William B. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Stella W. 3 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### doneandgone Beautiful surroundings, garden, pond -- picturesque, relaxing, & serene. Cozy, tastefully decorated casita with good lighting & ample space for two people. Exceptionally courteous & helpful owners next door. Well-stocked, generous kitchen with pancake mix, spices, tupperware, utensils, pots, pans, tin foil, bakeware, chopping board, knife block. No A/C; thus warm on hot days, but cools down nicely in the evenings with open windows. No dishwasher, but washer, dryer, & detergent available in main garage. Drinkable well water. Shaded carport, safe neighborhood with nearby hiking trails; conveniently located on the Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway. No movie/streaming services, but local channels available. Fairly clean with the exception of dog hair on both sofas, which dip in the middle. Comfortable king mattress in bedroom; springs readily felt on both pull-out sofa beds with sagging of support wires. Bottom of inner shower curtain stained from pink mold, but plenty of towels, shampoo/conditioner, sunblock, hairdryer. Plenty of amenities: portable fan, iron & ironing board, laundry basket, extra sheets & pillows, ceiling fan in bedroom. Spacious fenced-in dog room about 50 ft away & not visible from casita, has some overgrown weeds, but shaded & well-protected. We readily recommend this lovely casita for its relaxing & pristine property, remarkable friendly & gracious owners, helpful & responsive manager, & ten-minute drive from the main town. Thank you kindly!! ##### Stella W.
