Sunrise Casita - private, safe, gated, pets ok.

Sunrise Casita gets its name from the obvious. The morning sun bathes it beginning at sunrise through mid-morning when the porch shade kicks in. It is a great start to any morning sitting on the porch drinking coffee watching the wild birds feed steps away. If you are an early bird, you may see our local deer family. This is our most popular rental. It offers a nice combination of outdoor living and cool, cozy, comfortable lodging.
