RelaxationPrivacy Fun  
Casita Frontera is situated in the heart of historic Patagonia, adjacent to an early territorial adobe home (where we live).  The environment is plush with mature trees & plantings & a fountain anchors the front patio.  The back courtyard patio is ideal for lingering, particularly for bird watching, or evenings by the fire (a large Turkish copper pit).  Year-round birdfeeders keep our gardens busy with an amazing assortment of regional birds, including a nice variety of hummers.  Our guests are welcome to use all the sitting areas, front & back.  Casita Frontera is separated from the main house by the interior garden courtyard.  The Casita has two entrances, one out to the courtyard & the other out to Mendoza Alley where convenient off-road parking is available.  The overall setting is garden-like, welcoming & private & it's convenient for walking throughout & around Patagonia. 

Casita Frontera’s memorable atmosphere is regionally eclectic in nature & features authentic textiles & rugs, regional furniture, folk & contemporary art.  The 840sf (two-story) loft space includes a sitting area, a vintage twin-size iron daybed (downstairs) that also serves as a cozy corner sitting/lounging area; a complete kitchen, & two sleeping areas (one up & one down), each with a comfy queen size bed.  The Casita's one bathroom is downstairs & features an unusually large (Mexican tile) walk-in shower.  A wrought iron spiral staircase takes you to the 2nd floor loft bedroom which has ample storage & floor space & views of the town.  Please note that since this is a loft space, the upstairs bedroom, while discrete, is partially open to the downstairs via the wrought iron staircase & balcony---so it is not soundproofCasita Frontera has been thoughtfully furnished & appointed, including all kitchen needs.  Bedding & linens were selected for their quality, aesthetic appeal & comfort.  A television (with satellite reception, DVD/VCR player & stereo) is discretely hidden in the large vintage armoire.  It is comfortably & quietly Air Conditioned.  Wi-
Fi service is available.  Verizon cell service is the most reliable in this area.  For those conducting business while in Patagonia, our business office is on the property if we may be of assistance to you.   

A two-evening minimum stay is requested. 
Our lodging rate is $135/evening, $800/week for 1 or 2 guests.
