Sunny Southwest Casita!

Summary:
The Casita is a cozy one bedroom upstairs apartment. The decor is an eclectic southwestern style and is set up perfectly for cozy stays!
The bedroom has a super comfy memory foam queen size bed. The living room also has a small futon sofa. It works well for the kiddos but it’s not a great size for adults. If you have a larger group and need more space please consider booking the "The Carriage house" or the “The Gallery House” Both are right next door and are beautiful, updated historic homes!

The Space:
The Casita includes a full kitchen, with coffee! A full bath with tub, smart TV for streaming all your shows, smoking fast fiber optic WiFi and a futon for a little more sleeping room. There is also a beautiful grassy, shaded yard. It is a common space for our guests. It is shared with the “Carriage House” and the “Historic Queen Anne Gallery House” we have plenty of off street parking and can typically accommodate even trucks with trailers. (Please check with us if you have a larger rig)

Guest Access:
Welcome to The Casita, the charming upstairs stucco apartment located closer to the street. Feel free to park right next to the stairs—there’s no need to worry about blocking the garage doors, as we don’t need access to them.

We want you to feel at home, so please make yourself comfortable and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. If you have any questions or need assistance during your stay, don’t hesitate to reach out!

The Neighborhood:
We’re right off 2nd Street which is the main drag through Raton. The closest eating options include, Bruno’s (pizza, wings, salad), Enchanted Grounds (coffee and sandwiches), La Cocina (Mexican) and the local brewery Colfax Ale Cellar

Getting Around:
Raton is a small town so walking is safe but parking is easy and plentiful so driving is fine too

Other Things to Note:

The stairs are rather steep, please be careful!
Dumpsters are right across the street if they’re needed and they are bear proof so you have to squeeze the handle awkwardly and then hoist the heavy lid… sorry
Feel free to wander around the beautiful yards! The Casita does have its own little patio and chairs just at at the bottom of the stairs.

Interaction with Guests:
One of the hosts is almost always available to answer questions via VRBO message or text!
We live 35 miles east of town on a ranch. We are not typically around the property when guests arrive (I wish we were!) but please feel free to reach out with any questions.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Legion Park. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the holiday home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, patio and sofa bed
  • Free Wi-Fi (speed: 50+ Mbps)

This apartment was a perfect place for us—a retired couple wanting quiet and relaxation. The had has everything needed, the bed is comfortable, and the air conditioning, TV and Wi-Fi worked well. We enjoyed our stay.

Fun at Whittington Center

We have stayed at one of Nathan's properties for 2 years - 2 weeks this year, a month last year, and hope to always be able to stay at his property when we travel to Raton. We love the neighborhood, his properties are always as described and easy to live in for the time we are in Raton. Nathan is always quick to respond and takes care of our needs. We look forward to our trip next year and plan to book his property as soon as we know our dates. Thank you, Nathan, again.
