The casita was exactly what they described! We had a great experience in this home. It had a homey feel to it. I would come back again. The only minor things were there wasn’t a coffee maker except a french press and I didn’t know how to use it, so we bought instant. The lights by the fire pit didn’t work but we made due with a flash light. The porch would be better for morning coffee or tea if it had regular chairs. Other than those things it was great! They warned us about the bugs so we brought extra spray, didn’t get eaten alive!!

It was a charming and cozy stay. I loved that it was secluded and quiet! We mostly enjoyed it at night, because we spent most mornings and all afternoons with our family. I would stay again and ask for recommendations for going on the river.

Really enjoyed my time here.

We appreciated the host’s communication, they were responsive and followed their cancellation policy by refunding half our stay, even though we didn’t end up staying any of the nights.

That said, this place wasn’t a good fit for our family.

It’s very remote and would be ideal for guests who enjoy a camping-like environment. There are no street lights for about a mile between the main road and the home, which made arriving at night difficult (especially for someone unfamiliar with the area). While the host had solar lights on the house, the long, dark approach was unsafe to navigate.

The exterior of the home felt worn down, and while my family tried to stay positive, they were greeted by a significant number of bugs when they entered, likely drawn in by the lights at night. If you do book this property, I’d strongly recommend arriving before sunset.

This listing may work well for adventurous travelers or those comfortable with a rustic setting, but it wasn’t the right fit for us.
