Truly a great hide away, but yet so close to shopping, movies and mountain hiking. Beautiful, peaceful solitude, just what we were looking for. The casita is very clean and comfy. Lots of indoor and outdoor sitting areas. Great little kitchen--they even had organic morning coffee for us. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and felt comfortable immediately with our hosts, Chris and John. The desert was amazing, it did feel like a National Park, but there wasn't any other people about. We heard coyotes and saw rabbits and a deer walked by the front window one morning--it was magical. Thank you for this nature retreat. Looking forward to our next get-away there! Yoshi & Antonio
