The property suited me well for a one night stay. The bedroom was quite hot, so I had to sleep in the living room on the couch. Weâre also dead bugs in the night stand in bedroom, and kitchen could be a bit better stocked.
My time at the Cowboy Casita was very good for the price, but there were some issues. Here's my breakdown:PROS: - Location! Beautiful dark sky, quiet neighborhood, close to everything we wanted to see (Saguaro, Chriricahua & Kartchner Caverns), and a store right down the road.-Instant hot water in the shower and sink-Several mirrors in the house which is a big thing I often find lacking in other rentals. -Nice TV and good streaming quality. -The AC / Heater worked well and there were spare fans in the house. CONS: -The carpet in the living room area had a bunch of bull thorns. Probably about 20. We took off our shoes first thing and stepped on a few before I did a full sweep of the house. -No bowls? Very awkward to make oatmeal in cups. We went out to Dollar General the next morning and bought some to use. More dishes and utensils are definitely needed. If youâre going to be cooking, I suggest bringing everything you need. -I had messaged the owner about how to check in and never got a response. I had to guess that the keys were in the mailbox and the correct wifi name. -The home is advertised as able to sleep 4 and that the couch is a full futon when it is NOT. It is a piece of a sectional that does not fold out. The sofa side cushions slip off while sleeping on it since the end of the sectional is missing. Iâm only 5â4 but slept pretty uncomfortably on it. 2 people would not fit. Also, there were no sheets for the sofa.
Quiet little casita near Benson. Convenient to Benson, Sonoita and the caverns in the area. Big stove and refrigerator with icemaker but very limited dishes and cookware. Bring a can opener and wine bottle opener. Great place to gaze at the stars with a nice glass of wine. Bathroom was clean but quiet small and tuff to maneuver if you have mobility issues. Bed was very comfortable but I would recommend bringing your own pillows because of the odor from the pillows on the bed is unpleasant. I would also recommended extra blankets because even with the heater set at 86, it was chilly in the bedroom at night.The yard is nice but unfortunately the gate is quite heavy to lift and carry in order to secure the yard. The hosts are very nice. There are no garbage bins on the property but the owners came to pick it up when asked. The TV has streaming services and wifi worked well. It is great to have a place where you can stay with your furry companions.
