There are so many things we loved about our stay at the Hummingbird Casita. The host was incredibly responsive to our needs and made us feel genuinely welcomed. The casita itself was immaculate and had so many little details that made our stay perfect - there was filtered water for drinking, robes and a hangar near the hot tub, full kitchen set of utensils and plenty of coffee. The best part was the tranquil setting - you'll want to spend time on the porch just soaking up nature - the sound of the wind in the trees, the occasional white-tailed deer or rabbit sighting and of course the many wild birds that frequent the well-stocked feeder. This was truly a place to unwind, recharge and escape from the daily grind. We will definitely be back!!!
You'll have a front seat with nature as you have your morning breakfast
The tufted titmouse is just one of the many birds you'll see.
This was THE most comfortable beds we've experienced on our travels!
This spacious casita welcomes you with its beautiful design

My husband and I loved being here as we had some life admin to do and wanted a relaxing staycation to accomplish it. We accomplished everything on our list then went to drink wine nearby then relaxed in the hot tub. The home was gorgeous.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at the Casita. It was quiet and the host was very responsive during our stay. The area has so many cute towns close by and we enjoyed a recommended bakery in the area during our stay. I would love to come visit again and explore more. The Casita has all the amenities and was a perfect place for our trip.
