The Space:

The Casita is a private, standalone retreat located on the lower driveway of our neighboring property, Carriage House. While the two properties are situated on the same parcel, they are completely separate accommodations with their own entrances, parking, and outdoor spaces—there are no shared living areas, allowing guests to enjoy a peaceful and private stay.



Inside, the casita features a thoughtfully designed open-concept layout that feels both cozy and functional. The bedroom offers a comfortable bed with quality linens, creating a restful space to recharge after a day of exploring Shaver Lake and the Sierra National Forest. The full bathroom is clean and well-appointed, stocked with essentials for a comfortable stay.



The living area provides a relaxing place to unwind, while the kitchenette includes everything needed for morning coffee and light meals, making it easy to settle in and enjoy the mountain pace of life.



Large windows fill the space with natural light and showcase the surrounding mountain scenery, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere. Step outside to take in the fresh mountain air, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, and experience the privacy and comfort that make this casita the perfect mountain getaway.
