The Casita was very clean and well furnished. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. The bedroom is cozy and space is utilized well. My son enjoyed his sleeping arrangement on the couch, and the living room area is comfy to unwind in. The bathroom is large with a great shower/tub. Our host was very gracious and communicated well through the VRBO app. My family and I greatly enjoyed our stay.

We had such a wonderful stay at this charming casita! Mike and Bernie were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful hosts, and their communication was excellent from start to finish. The home was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated — it truly felt like a home away from home. We loved how peaceful the neighborhood was and appreciated all the little touches that made our stay so comfortable. The location was perfect and made it easy to explore the area. Thank you, Mike and Bernie, for sharing your lovely home with us — we’d love to come back someday!

We stayed five days while visiting family nearby. The remote location felt like home (we live in the country), and Mike and Bernie made us feel like family. We have recommended them to family that might visit the area in the future. Nothing was lacking--no complaints.

My husband and I went to NM to visit friends and decided to stay at this beautiful property. We loved the quietness and beauty it provided. I love the monsoon season and this property was a great place to watch and experience a quick yet powerful storm. We had all the amenities we wanted and more. So relaxing. We definitely look forward to our next visit. Thanks again Bernie and Mike.
