Absolutely perfect!
The unit was exactly as presented and very clean. The pets were super friendly and, as a pet owner, it was extremely special to have that little connection to an animal while away. Had a great time at Marcos listening to music and the river didn’t disappoint! A great find!

Fantastic home base!
My daughter and I stayed in this studio for the weekend — it was incredibly clean, comfortable, and convenient. Our hosts were accessible but not at all intrusive. It was a perfect spot to enjoy a weekend of hiking and rafting. I’d highly recommend!

Lovely studio
Overall great experience and communication with host. Be aware there is a cute little cat that will likely be on the balcony calling for you early in the morning and anytime you’re out there. Not a problem for me personally but one guest I was allergic to cats and the kitty kept trying to get inside under the magnetic screen door, so we had to keep the door closed. Great location! Short walk to a campground on the river where you can get a day pass to access the river.. not SUP friendly but rafter friendly!

Disliked: Cleanliness
It was okay, but didn't meet expectations.
The unit definitely needed more cleaning before we arrived. The bathroom shower was the worst offender. There were cobwebs and spiders in the kitchen and across the table. Unfortunately there were hot water issues which an adult can handle but children do not understand and it was exhausting to shower them through their tears. The unit was about 90° inside when we arrived and impossible to sleep. The owners ask that you not run the AC during the day, which was impossible with my 24/7 morning sickness. We might have come at at really bad time so I don't want to give 3 stars for benefit of the doubt, so I am graciously giving 4. Adults could handle the uncomfortable stay but not the children, we had to make other accommodations for them. It has great potential but definitely needs TLC.

This sweet family runs the river rafting trips for Camp Lotus which is a short walk away. I sat in the river's rejuvenating waters every evening. The unit has everything for comfort including two friendly dogs and a cat who visit often. A family of 4 would be very comfortable in the spacious room. What a pleasure to have a full refrigerator and functional kitchen. I enjoyed sunset's rosy glow on the porch's vista of golden hillsides clumped with dark oaks, and would have loved the starry night except that the moon was one of the biggest and brightest of the year during my stay. I heard songbirds, distant roosters in the morning, cattle lowing, in the evening and an occasional woodpeckers tapping on the wall. The family composts and recycles, and there is a beautiful feeling of connection to Mother Earth there. I enjoyed the happy chatter of rafters packing out some mornings and packing in some evenings. and the friendly, easy, accepting atmosphere. I can't wait to return.
