Gorgeous property with so many birds and a nice nature trail, also conveniently located for getting around the region and only 15 minutes from Whitewater Draw! The casita is very cute but I hadn't realized that both the toilet and shower are outdoors, so be prepared for that (and bring your own towel/shoes to walk back and forth).
I loved the birds and tranquility of the place! The casita has everything you need for a short and/or minimalist stay and is quite comfortable. The outdoor toilet and shower added to the experience (just take note of booking in the winter). I would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful home, wonderful host! Make sure you're okay with an outdoor shower and bathroom (shower had great hot water and starry skies). Birds outside are a treat, and very comfortable inside even on warm days. We felt right at home
We absolutely loved our stay at Sandhill Casita. The cozy quarters, the yard, the birds, and especially the host. We were made to feel very welcome here. If you love birding this place is a must. The yard is full of beautiful birds then it's only a 14 min drive to Whitewater Draw for even more variety of birds. I can't say enough good things about this place and the host. Hope we get the chance to visit this place again. Many blessings
We decided to take a last minute, camping trip with our daughter to see the Sandhill Cranes at Whitewater Draw over Christmas, and this was the perfect location. Harry and Barbara had family plans elsewhere, but they were great about communicating all that we needed to know to stay at their place. Our stay was peaceful and beautiful...just the dose of nature and animals that we all needed. We walked the short trails around their property, and used their solo stove in the evenings to stay warm. The night sky is incredible, and their bird feeders make this a great birding spot. The cranes wer…
