Private stay

The space was great, no oven but they have an old cooktop. Pots and pans could use an upgrade. No washer or dryer, so if you’re staying a week like we did, go to town to do laundry. We like the space, our dog did well here and we walked just up the Road to Ravens view Restaurant. You are close to all kids of trails, and great little towns. The host Susannevery kind.

Fantastic location and wonderful people!

Our stay at Eric and Suzanne’s casita was great! A beautiful property with wonderful views. Every morning I took the dog on a walk around the neighborhood. The neighbors were friendly and best of all only half a block away was a wonderful wine bar my husband and I would walk to each night. Looking forward to going back!

A Top Rated Best Place Ever Stay

This is one of those properties that you wish you could give more than a 5 star rating, We have stayed with a lot of exceptional properties using VRBO and this one is on the very top of our "best list". Owners/managers were the nicest, property itself was so amazing and unique. BEAUTIFUL views, quiet, private, convenient. AND THE ARTWORK!!! I spent hours looking at the artwork, its INCREDIBLE... AND to meet the artist in person was the topping on the cake. Thank you Eric and Suzanne for making our stay so memorable and enjoyable! We shall see you soon! (and our dog was as happy here as we were! he gives it 4 paws high-five!)

Cool, Clean & Quiet

I felt so cool and comfortable the minute I walked in This studio is private, artistic, spacious and so clean. Beautiful patio area too! Hospitable, communicative hosts... it was a dream, far enough away for peace and quiet enough but an easy drive in to amenities and hikes. Hope to stay there again 😊

Holiday Getaway

All great things about this place and the owners. The studio was larger than we thought, very comfortable and private. The owners Suzanne and Erik were wonderful and very accommodating. They kicked off the visit with a sweet gift and the Studio was ready with heat and lights on when we got in a bit late. We would definitely come back. The location is very peaceful and it was perfect.
