Next door to the main house is a another adobe casita where a family member lives (she's an artist and teacher). When in town, the owner lives in a separate unit located on the property and is available for any questions or concerns via phone or text (or in person), but will give you and your guests space and privacy you during your stay and will enter the house only if/when requested.

PETS on PROPERTY we have 3 rescue dogs on the property but they are inside their own respective fenced areas. They are not allowed inside Casa Chamisa between guests. No additional pets are allowed on the property at any time for any amount of time.
