Outstanding!
Cute and peaceful with a wonderful sun deck, Qail running on the walls, Coyotes in the wash, and fish skimming the surface of the pond. Far out enough in the country to be serene and restful, yet close enough to town to make shopping convenient.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Culver

Host profile image
Greetings! And welcome to the Pondo Casita! I’m a retired teacher, musician and real estate investor. I’m a DIY builder and built my home and the Casita from scratch. I am new to the short term rental arena, but enjoy being able to offer a unique experience to those who can appreciate the magic of what this place has to offer

Why they chose this property

The original homestead and pond were settled in 1917. I moved here at the beginning of the millennium with a vision to build a home on the shore of this pond. The property is secluded and peaceful with gorgeous sunrises, sunsets and conveniently close to all the amenities of a rural town.

What makes this property unique

There is nothing more special in the desert than water! This unique property overlooks a half acre pond fed by an artesian spring in a very private setting offering seclusion, privacy and all the comforts you’d expect from a cozy casita in the countryside. Beautiful mountain views, the sound of running water, amazing sunsets, well lit, magical night time landscape and an immersion in nature are all standard features that come with this lovely casa in the desert.
