Enjoy an escape to nature and solitude, while actually in a modern, comfortable casita.

Well maintained, as good or better than it looks in photos. Owners great to work with.
Wife and I truly got away from it all in this quiet new Mexico town. Casitia feels remote, but only a few blocks from grocery store and resturants.
Imagine seeing an eagle dive into the Rio Grande, come up with a fish, and soar away -- from your private mineral hot spring.
Bank to river is STEEP, but with a lilttle effort you too can launch a canoe or kayak and paddle among the ducks.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Ken & Sally's wonderful home. Their guest house is beautifully furnished with everything one could need for a weeks stay. The deck outside with the hot spring tub overlooking the Rio Grande is amazing. There are many restaurants and shops in the town which can be easily reached on foot. Within a short drive there are parks and old western towns to visit. The owners are usually around and can help with any queries you may have. There is a larger house next door which can accommodate larger families also with a hot spring tub. Highly recommended.

Very Relaxing Getaway
Submitted: April 8, 2012
Stayed: April 2012
My husband and I were looking for somewhere to get away from it all and kick back and relax. The Casita was the answer to our prayers. The casita was clean and beautiful. It had everything you could want. The owners are super nice and helpful. And the best part of the house??? The tub, of course! I can't not even begin to explain just how wonderful the tub is! It is a perfect 102 degrees, and you can sit in the tub for hours (not anything like a hot tub). The gardens surrounding the houses are beautifully maintained. We are planning to return sometime in the future and renting both houses with friends/relatives. Elephant Butte Lake state park is very close, and there are restaurants and shops within walking distance from the house. If you are looking for somewhere to go and de-stress, this is the place!

The Perfect Vacation
Submitted: July 27, 2011
Stayed: July 2011
The Casita de Rio was the perfect place to vacation. My husband and I searched the world to find a peaceful house, removed from the rat race, where we could simply relax for two weeks. We only dreamed of having a private mineral bath right alongside a flowing river with a spectacular view and that is what we found with the Casita. The properties have been gorgeously and loving hand built by Ken and Sally. They both are wonderful people and incredible hosts. The house contains every amenity one would ever need and the walking distance to town makes for enjoyable refreshments. We had planned numerous day trips from the Casita to visit many of Southern New Mexico’s wonderful sites. But we found after several day trips that we preferred to simply relax and read and soak and watch the wildlife and to flow with the river downstream if we wanted a little more excitement. This was truly a wonderful and just right vacation. We are sad to say farewell and return to 'reality'.

Just Pinch US
Submitted: May 15, 2011
Stayed: April 2011
We loved our stay at the Casita. We've traveled a lot over the last 10 years & have had wonderful stays at places we've found on VRBO, but this is the first place that we want to return to. The natural beauty surrounding the Casita coupled with the comfort and beauty within it, was at times, overwhelming & we just wanted to 'pinch ourselves.' We loved having our own private mineral tub right on the deck & soaked daily--anytime from early morning, afternoon to late night under the stars. The pictures are inviting, but really don't capture the true beauty & tranquility of the Casita. The kitchen is well stocked in case you choose to cook right there. There are a lot of varied & nice restaurants in the area. No traffic to deal with going anywhere; people friendly & layed back. We had a great balance of fantastic 'day' trips & just kicking back. Would recommend checking out the ghost towns, Hila Forest, Cliff Dwellings, Aldo Leopold Wilderness, City of Rocks, the Butte Damn Area, kayaking down the Rio Grande. So much to do & lots we didn't even get to because we just wanted to soak in the sun and beauty--next time. We really didn't have any idea that New Mexico was so diverse. Ken and Sally were awesome to deal with, friendly, helpful and just good people. They wanted our stay to be the best it could be & take great care of their properties.

Idyllic Spot on the Rio Grande
Submitted: April 20, 2011
Stayed: April 2011
Our time at Casita del Rio was the most relaxing week of our 5-week vacation in New Mexico. Accommodations were attractive, comfortable and well-apponted; the mineral waters in the outdoor tub were relaxing and delivered on-demand, chemical-free and at a perfect temperature by Mother Nature herself.
Speaking of nature, we were constantly amazed at the variety of wildlife on and near the river. The Rio Grande attracts many species of migratory birds, as well as otters, gophers and a little coyote who hunted and fished on the opposite bank most days during our stay. It was incredibly entertaining, very private and our hosts were both gracious and informative.

Casita del "Soul"

My husband and I spent March 2011 in the casita--our first winter away in retirement. We can't say enough about either our landlords--the friendly and accommodating Ken and Sally--or their exceptional rental property. We loved our location right on the Rio Grande (terrific birdwatching!), but still only an enjoyable stroll away from TorC's parks, library, post office, good used book store, well-stocked grocery and fun/funky shops and restaurants. The casita's unobstructed and intimate view of Turtleback Mountain was breathtaking, especially at sunset and dawn, and we didn't have to leave bed to drink it in each morning, as the bedroom's entryway looks across the dining room to the casita's magnificent window wall overlooking the river and the mountain. The casita itself is charmingly furnished with interesting antiques and nice art, and the kitchen is adequately equipped even for people like us who prefer cooking in to dining out. Similar care has gone into the artful landscaping of native and exotic plants. We especially appreciated the privacy fence that surrounds the casita and the larger casa. It makes Ken and Sally's compound such a serene retreat. Another great touch: the retractable awning over the sandstone patio. Even in the brightest sunlight we were able to use this delightful outdoor space. And who wouldn't adore having their OWN hot mineral springs hot tub? Even our water-loving golden retriever Maddy took a dip in it once or twice (just don't tell Ken and Sally! Their acceptance of pets is such a plus!). Within a few days of our arrival in TorC, we had decided to return to Ken and Sally's compound in winter 2012--that's how fabulous our experience was. TorC is centrally located in SE NM, facilitating day trips to view the spectacular scenery, historic mining and railroad towns and fabulous state parks nearby. Since the inimitable Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Reserve is only an hour-long hop away, we were able to visit it twice! More great birdwatching! But mostly we were content to hang out at our beautiful casita, reading, napping, soaking, daydreaming, taking Maddy for walks or a game of ball in Ralph Edwards Park, preparing recipes from our Mexican and Southweat cookbooks that seldom leave the shelves at home. We came home to Cleveland restored, in body and soul, and can't wait for next March to roll around.
