There is one quirk at the moment, the hot water in the shower.

The casita offers a charming escape with its quaint setting and proximity to nature, though recent reviews indicate a decline in upkeep. Guests have appreciated the peaceful sounds of a nearby creek and the cozy feel of the tiny home. However, concerns about cleanliness, such as spider webs and rodent droppings, have been noted, along with issues with the septic system and maintenance disruptions. Despite these issues, guests have enjoyed the outdoor amenities, like the grill and seating area, and the casita's location near local attractions.

Left disappointed

I stayed at this casita about 5 years ago and loved it so much that we went back this past weekend. I was so excited to go back but ended up leaving the trip very disappointed. It looks like this place hasn’t been cleaned/kept up for awhile now. The cooking area has a lot of leaves and spider webs, rodent droppings and flies in the restroom, couch and blankets were dirty, spiders above the bed and outdoor shower was full of leaves. To top it off, I think the septic tank is full so when we washed dishes, the whole casita started to smell like feces. The hot water for the shower didn’t work as well. I was counting down the min to leave this place unfortunately :( with a bit of TLC and a whole lot of cleaning, I think this place can be magical again. Really hoping things turn around cuz it really was magical before.

Distressed

This is what I sent Dana yesterday. Still no response. Didn’t really hear back from you, but we did make it to your shed We were not really too pleased, after paying $250 for a night stay, we expected it to be in much better shape than what we found. We don’t mind “distressed” look, but this felt just distressed. It felt grimy, spider webs were everywhere, table surfaces barely wiped off, etc. The new (?) bath area was a little better. The roof is crashed in, the toilet door missing hardware etc, but we at least felt it being reasonable clean. It’s such a cool little spot and the ideas and colors looks cute, but what was meant to be shabby chique just feels shabby. You charge $90 for cleaning (w pet) and I wish you use it fully instead of just a quick once over and added rent.

Great location but in need of TLC

The casita has seen better days. The pictures were slightly deceiving. It just looked like the place had been unoccupied and untouched for a while from the outside. I went for my birthday from LA to get some time to relax and enjoy nature but, during the less than 24 hours there, maintenance to the main house’s hard and surrounding area was being mowed/leaf blown from the time we got there 4:30pm and when we got back from dinner 7:30pm. That was fine, albeit still annoying, but the kicker was the 6:30am leaf blowing in the morning. The inside of the casita was fine just not very cozy. I was looking forward to hanging out outside with a glass of wine but the outside wasn’t inviting and as I said - untouched with cobwebs and debris. I understand this is hipcamp but still if we were comparing it to the pictures it just wasn’t the same. The cool outdoor shower was backed up and out of order. Thankful for the sounds of the trickling creek and the proximity to Halfway Station which was a delight to have wine and food to celebrate my birthday. Oh and the mattress was very nice!

We had a pleasant stay, very comfortable and cozy house, with everything we needed plus board games and the bbq pit was very nice and accommodating, it was great to find some charcoal there! Close to their house, but still feel private! We loved the flexibility and the kindness of the host! Thanks 💕

With pets

Overall this was a mixed experience: - The Good: equidistant to the beach and Paso Robles area, quiet and peaceful location, the casita was clean and cute, the outdoor area was serene and shaded. - The bad: there was a fair amount of rodent poop in the shower and bathroom area. - The ugly: the toilet is on a septic system and the tank was overflowing during our stay. We were not able to flush the toilet, because if we did, a river of human wastewater would spill out on the ground, making the area surrounding the casita smell horrible. We communicated this issue to the host on our first morning there and never received a response :/
