  March 4, 2013 Marilyn & Jeff, We have enjoyed very much our 2 weeks which has slipped by too quickly! Your hospitality and attention to detail was really appreciated both in equipping/ furnishing your Casita and is ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay. Your tips & recommendations for outings were welcomed. It was interesting to chat about political woes of our 2 countries. Your home has provided us with the perfect location to balance the need for rest and rejuvenation and the enjoyment of our first experience in the high desert. We wish you all the best in your future ventures and hope you will visit us in Weyebridge if you are ever in Toronto. Colin & Ellen

  September 6, 2012 Jeff & Marilyn, You have made such a beautiful, cozy, comfortable nest that we've felt totally at home during our stay. (I particularly loved spending time with your hummingbirds) We've been awed by the beauties of this part of NM and appreciate your advice on the best way to use our time. Thank you for making our vacation so special. Carolyn & Charles Tallahassee, FL

  The Casita de Chuparosa was the finest VRBO ever for our crowd. It is spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. I stayed an extra night and they even returned my forgotten yoga pants. I would recommend it to anyone and I will be back. Ruth Ann Price Grand Junction, CO.

  The Casita de Chuparosa is an immaculately clean, warm and welcoming B and B style vacation home located in Abiquiu, New Mexico. It is decorated in Southwestern style and has every necessary amenity. The surrounding landscape and views are breathtaking and the peacefulness of the area will sooth anyones' weary soul. The hosts/owners of the Casita could not be more helpful and welcoming and are available when you need them for directions and any questions you may have about the area. There are animals on the property, including Valentine the paint horse and three of the most adorable mini donkeys. The location of the Casita is perfect for sightseeing in wonderful places like Ghost Ranch and Plaza Blanca.. We love to ride horses and the Casita is situated in close proximity to two wonderful places to ride from. And there was no better way to end the perfect days we experienced here, then to soak in the wonderful hot tub at night, viewing the stunning night sky of Northern New Mexico, the stars just envelope you there. We will be back!

  Loved my home for a week! The Casita was comfortable, clean and well stocked as advertised. The owners were available to answer questions and were willing to share their time and knowledge of the area. However, they totally respected my privacy. Nice! The views are amazing and the location was perfect for day trips to many interesting places in the area. I hope to visit there again very soon and would recommend it to friends and family. Thank you Marilyn and Jeff for an amazing week in your Casita.....my home away from home!

Fees:

• Pet Fee: $0
• Taxes Not included

Cancellation policy:

Please note: Final payment is due 60 days before arrival and not 30 as mentioned above. Thank you! Cancellation Policies: Vacation homes operate differently from hotels. We have only one property and when a guest cancels with short notice, it's very difficult to rent your time slot. We are not a big business and our chances of re-renting a weekend, week or a month grow exponentially lower as the date draws nearer. Most of our regular guests make reservations up to one year in advance, Particularly in the Peak Season we have to turn away many requests for reservations because our Casita has been reserved. As a result our cancellation policy is written to discourage those who would make a reservation without being committed to honoring their commitment with us. There are two payments required of those who wish to make a reservation - 50% is due at booking and the 50% balance is due 60 days before arrival. Cause of Cancellation: Please note that our cancellation policy is not dependent on the cause of the cancellation. We are unable to be responsible for elements such as bad weather; flight delays or cancellations; illnesses or injuries; family, pet, or work emergencies; or even the most unfortunate of unexpected events, a death. Please be aware that you have the option of purchasing "trip insurance" that would protect you from the costs that could be incurred due to an unforeseen cancellation. There are many suppliers of trip insurance and they are easily found on the Internet or often times, through your credit card provider. We encourage you to purchase Travel Insurance. It's a small price to pay if an emergency were to occur, you have additional recourse for canceling your stay and potentially obtaining a refund. Travel insurance is usually reasonably priced (as low as 2 to 5% of the trip cost) and would be entirely up to you to research and purchase. We recommend Allianz Travel Insurance - A typical policy for a 7 night stay is about $43-70 depending on coverage. You can include your air fare in the quote too. We've used them many times on our travels. Our Cancellation Policies: Prior to 60 days before arrival: You may change your reserved dates within 60 days before arrival for no extra charge. You may cancel your reservations up to 60 days before arrival, full refund minus $25 fee + 4% of total credit card charges. Within 60 days of arrival: Sorry no changes permitted within 60 days prior to arrival. Other guests seeking your time slot have usually seen our Availability calendar showing these dates have been booked. Usually they have already made other arrangements and booked other accommodations within 60 days of arrival to Abiquiu. This is considered short notice, since we usually book up 4-6 months and up to a year in advance. You many cancel your reservations within 60 days prior to arrival for a Full Refund minus a $25 fee + 4% credit card charges, if we're able to re-book your dates. We open up your dates on our online availability calendar, We advise potential guests of the dates now available on our Casita de Chuparosa & Abiquiu, New Mexico Facebook pages and do our very best to promote the nights you originally reserved. If we are unable to rebook your dates reserved, sorry no refund. If you transfer your reservations to friends/family, they are responsible for reimbursing you for the Casita lodging costs. We will not refund you and re-charge the new guests. Of course, we understand emergencies come up and we are willing to work with you. Please consider purchasing Trip Insurance as mentioned above. Your final payment due date (60 days before arrival) will be mentioned on your initial E-mail confirmation from us. If you do not receive your e-mail confirmation, please contact us immediately to make sure we have your correct e-mail address. We will send you a payment reminder e-mail 2 weeks before final payment is due, to give you time to contact us if you need to change your Credit card number. If we do not hear from you by the final payment due date, we will charge your card on file for the final payment due. It is up to you to remember your final payment due date and to contact us for any reason, prior to your final payment due date. We are not responsible for correspondence from us not received by you, if you've changed your e-mail address or our e-mail to you has gone to your spam file.
