Vacation Rental Amenities

When we set about to create Casa Montaña, we wanted a place where we could retreat  
from everyday life, yet enjoy the comfort of a modern, well appointed vacation home.  
We’ve selected the coziest furnishings, the softest bed linens, and the quietest appliances  
with an attention to detail to assure that your stay is relaxing. With optional daily 
maid and catering service available, you’ll be comfortable and worry-free yet able 
to access the outside world through high-speed Internet, on DirecTV, or at the many local  
attractions–when you need it.  
 
We ask that you treat our place like your own. We expect you to use it and enjoy it. If you  
break something, we'd at least like you to offer to pay for it. Accidents happen as they say!  
 
The property is large and is great for adults and children alike. Thus said, it is not child- 
proof. We've taken steps to make this a safe place. But, as with any place in the mountains  
there are risks including poison oak, skunks, spider, scorpions, and (very rarely) 
snakes. Also, the house is next to a very steep cliff. While you would have to hike through  
some really nasty stuff to fall over it, nevertheless, it is there. 
 
Also included: 
 
- Washer and dryer, dishwasher, gas stove, electric oven, micowave, espresso machine 
- Wood fireplace and outdoor fire pit 
- Expansive panoramic deck with seating for 20 
- Indoor and Outdoor dining for 8 and 10 respectively 
- Iron and Ironing Board 
- Macintosh Computer and wireless high-speed Internet connection 
- Large soaking tub in master Suite 
- Stainless steel grill on deck 
- All appliances, dishware, and linens 
- Outdoor jacuzzi tub
