Wonderful stay
We had such a great time!! The house was very clean and had everything we could’ve needed for our stay. Our host was very easy to communicate with and very hospitable with anything she could help us with. The house is the perfect size for a small group, we had 4 adults and my Sheltie and we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. I would definitely refer this place to any friends or family that ask!

Why they chose this property

Cool and comfortable in the summer months, and warm and toasty in the fall and winter, Casita Bonita is a delightful place to spend your vacation. You will love the wrap-around deck and the kitchen with all the tools for a terrific meal at home.
