La Casita offers a charming retreat for those seeking tranquility amidst nature. Guests appreciate the breathtaking views and unique outdoor shower experience, which adds an element of fun to the stay. While the loft bed's low ceiling can be a minor inconvenience, the overall cozy and clean environment is well-received. However, visitors should be aware of potential shared use of the fire pit by the hosts, which some guests felt wasn't communicated clearly.

Fantastic stay!

Daisy was great! Directions to get there were very clear and the view was lovely. The van and site were clean and tidy. There was a space heater, kettle, outlets, mugs, and coffee supplies. The shower wasn’t super private but the bathroom was 100% private (it was an indoor and comfortable space). Overall it was a great stay, I would totally go again!

Loved the stay at la casita! View was beautiful, cabin was very nice and clean and host did a great job communicating! I have the say the outdoor shower was the best shower experience as well. Only “downside” is very low ceiling on the loft bed but not negative experience just something to keep in mind so you dont bump your head but very comfortable otherwise!
