In town for a wedding
The house was cozy and had everything we needed. The fresh cookies and homemade buckeyes were a sweet surprise that we enjoyed! We enjoyed the air hockey game as well as the hot tub, it was just perfect for us. We planned to make smore's but ran out of time! :(

Perfect!
The house was adorable, and stocked with pretty much anything you could need. Perfect for our weekend getaway for two, but plenty big enough for a group. Super close to basically everything, and the binder provided with local restaurants etc was really helpful!

Cute cottage 2 blocks from the lake
Our family had a wonderful stay at Casita del Sol. Kelly was an excellent host and was quick to respond to any questions we had. The house is in a great location. It was very clean and well stocked. She even made buckeyes and cookies as a welcome treat! We would definitely stay here again!

This is a great place to stay with wonderful hosts. There is plenty of space and place to connect.
Throughout the time leading up to our stay, we had great communication. So much thought into what people will need was put into the amenities. Along with helpful binders, thoughtful touches of welcome like snacks were included. Games, rooms to relax, fire pits, and outdoor spaces are all perfect for fun together. I highly recommend staying here!
