"My host was such a sweetheart, she provided complimentary dinner and the fridge came with food and snacks that she prepared for me and the kids. She is really sweet, even went as far as buying clothing for my nieces and cooking delicious dinner for us. This place is 100% kid friendly and it even comes with a playground for your children. My nieces had so much fun on the playground. The place is very cute and cozy, it comes with a shower, washer/dryer, sink/small kitchen/fridge and even a patio....

"The casita and the grounds were amazing. The rooftop lounge area had a wonderful view, the deck around the back was great, the double-sided fireplace was sooo lovely, the shower was terrific. The property is totally unique for the area...like a scene from Jurassic Park or the Jungle Cruise at Disney. Nothing like it in the low mountains."

"Other than the floor being quite dirty upon arrival (feet turned black from walking around barefoot) the stay was excellent. Loved the roll-up garage door front, watched the sunset against the new condos across the street. The church across the street was nice to look out at too. Some road construction nearby caused some congestion but never had a problem finding street parking right out in front. 10/10 would stay here again and looking forward to the next time I head to SD and it’s available."
