We loved everything about our stay! Perfect for a couple. Kitchen was a great size for the space.Location was pretty important to us and our little casita was about 10 minutes to the plaza. We were able to use the hot tub for a small additional fee and this was a great way to unwind at the end of a day of hiking or shopping. We would definitely stay here again.

My stay here was wonderful. The property is very peaceful, and the casita is lovely. John provided a bottle of wine and snacks, which were very good and very nice touch. The private patio provided a great environment to enjoy the wonderful weather and scenic setting. I fully recommend this property to anyone needing a quiet spot to get away from it all for a few days.

Hi Dausyn, Sorry to hear about the shower. We have 20 gallons capacity, which should be enough for a long shower. If your partner took a shower just before, that might have limited how much hot water you had. Best, John
