About this property
Casita Escondida - Your Hidden Refuge in Abilene
Authentic 1BR/1BA Cottage • Highland Neighborhood • Where Art Meets West Texas
Casita Escondida is a one-bedroom cottage in Abilene's Highland neighborhood with butterfly-themed decor and a private patio. Built for two guests who want to stay somewhere with character instead of a cookie-cutter hotel room.
The House
Living Room: Tan sofa with red paisley and blue butterfly pillows, feather artwork on the walls, and a wood coffee table. Windows let in plenty of natural light.
Bedroom: Your private sanctuary showcases coordinating butterfly textiles that flutter across crisp linens. A ceiling fan whispers overhead while bedside lighting creates the perfect ambiance for reading or quiet conversation.
Kitchen: This galley kitchen means business with white cabinetry, rich butcher block counters, and everything a cowpoke or city slicker needs to rustle up a meal. The Kitchensmith coffee maker stands ready for those early morning adventures.
Dining Nook: An intimate table for two sits beneath the morning light—perfect for planning your day over breakfast or sharing stories over a nightcap.
Bathroom: Clean lines meet Western comfort with herringbone tile work and thoughtful storage. Fresh towels in desert blue await.
The Patio: Your private outdoor haven features covered seating, a gas grill for authentic Texas BBQ, and a clay chiminea that'll have you sharing stories under a blanket of Hill Country stars.
