Our private-entry casita is nestled in the pines, boasts a canyon view, and is only a 5 minute drive to LANL, the Fuller Art Lodge, and the historic district. You’ll enjoy a luxurious queen bed, spa-like bath, and fully equipped kitchenette (stocked with treats!). Clerestory windows keep the space light and bright. Set back on the lot with a private patio and driveway. Easy access to Bandelier, Pajarito Ski Mountain, and downtown via shuttle or car. Let our casita be your home away from home! The space The casita is well appointed, clean, and comfortable, with an over-sized full bath and a separate bedroom with a queen size pillow top bed and 3 inch memory foam. Our spare sleeping options are comfortable too, see notes below. We stock the kitchenette with all the dishes and cookware you'll need for up to 4 guests, including a toaster, blender, tea kettle, and Keurig. Our kitchen is equipped with a microwave, range and small oven. We provide coffee, tea, and continental breakfast offerings such as bagels or muffins, our own farm eggs, assorted hot and cold cereal, milk and juice. We also add fresh baked goodies on the weekend for you to enjoy! Our smart TV includes free Netflix and other viewing options (no cable). The laundry includes complimentary cleaning products for your convenience. We will collect and launder provided linens and towels if you need them refreshed during longer stays. Note: the single bed is a 10” bamboo mattress with a memory foam topper on a supportive frame. When the spare bed is set out we recommend stowing luggage below it for extra space-saving storage. Guest access Completely private casita set away from the host residence through a short stroll through our backyard. Private off street parking to the left of the main house, private walkway, enclosed patio and access to Pueblo canyon right from behind the casita. 24 hour keyless access (code given after booking). Other things to note The casita is thoughtfully stocked and is spacious for 2 guests in the queen bedroom. Another 1-2 guests can be accommodated at no extra charge with a double sofa bed and a single bed set up in the living area. The single is a supportive 10” bamboo mattress topped with memory foam and quilted pad. We can include a pack and play and toddler dishes for children, although for 4 guests in total the space does get a little small. We offer limited low cost shuttle to Pajarito Ski Mountain or Bandelier for up to 4 guests in our AWD Sienna minivan. Subject to availability. We also provide transportation from the Los Alamos airport if needed. If you’re here with your family, I offer affordable childcare for date nights, depending on my schedule. I am a former nanny. pre-k worker, and program leader at an adventure camp, and currently work in a church nursery. As a current foster parent, I hold an up-to-date background check and trainings, including CPR and First Aid.
