The casita is a perfect space for a retreat, either alone or with one other person (casita can’t fit anymore than 2). Loved the little touches—hammock, fire pit, cute “porch” overlooking the Santa Cruz mountain.
The casita has an outdoor shower with a door—EO shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel provided 🙌🏼
It is a very private area so you don’t need to worry about being shy!
Fluffy bathrobes and towels are provided as well.
The bathroom is in the main home..it does feel like you’re intruding a little bit but I’ll take it for running and after and a toilet, hah.
If you want complete privacy this may not be the place for you. The fire pit is next to the main house that is lived in by Connie and her husband. The hosts are very friendly and personable but if you wanted complete privacy, I would look elsewhere. We did not mind, but just a tip.
*caution—they do have a large German shepherd who is a cutie pie but is pretty territorial. See p at your hands or jump on you but I just see it as him being an overexcited pup. If you are at all scared of dogs, I would look elsewhere.
OVERALL—I highly recommend staying here!
