CASITA FRONTERA Overnight Guest Cottage

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 patio garden 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 hummers. Our guests are welcome to use all the sitting areas, front & back. Casita Frontera is separated from the main house by an interior garden courtyard. The Casita has two entrances, one out to the garden courtyard & the other to Mendoza Alley where convenient off-road parking is available. The overall setting is garden-like, welcoming & private & it's very convenient for walking around Patagonia.

Casita Frontera’s memorable atmosphere is regionally eclectic in nature & features authentic textiles & rugs; regional furniture; folk & contemporary art. The 800sf two-story loft space includes a sitting area; a vintage (twin size) iron daybed downstairs that also serves as a cozy corner sitting area; 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 & charming elevated views of the town. Please note that since this is a loft space, the upstairs bedroom is partially open to the downstairs via the wrought iron staircase & balcony so it is not soundproof. Casita 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 & a stereo system are discretely hidden in a vintage armoire. YFI service is available; however, there is no telephone inside the Casita. Most visitors find that Verizon cell service is most reliable in the immediate Patagonia area. For those conducting business while in Patagonia & in need of fax or copy services, our office is on the property & we're here to assist you.

A two-night minimum stay is observed. Our lodging rate is $125/evening (single or double occupancy) in addition to sales tax of 9.61% & a $25.00 charge per evening for each additional teenager or adult. The Casita accomodates a maximum of 5 people. Please note that a charming adjacent cottage is available for those with slightly larger parties. It has one queen bed & a private bath (shower only), a sitting area but no kitchen. It is available for booking in conjunction with your stay at Casita Frontera . Reduced rates are available for extended-stay guests. We accept payment by cash or check but not credit cards & a 50% deposit is requested to secure your stay with us. That deposit is fully refundable with 7-day cancellation notice or if we're able to successfully rebook your reservation time.
