The Casita is a great place to stay, especially if your visiting the McDonald Observatory. Deanne and Lonnie are fantastic hosts. This little home is extremely clean and it has all the amenities you need to cook your own dinners or just enjoy an outdoor cookout. Beds were comfortable and we had plenty of extra towels, blankets, and pillows for our family of 4. We were treated with complimentary tea, coffee, water, muffins, and popcorn. There are puzzles, cards, movies, and even binoculars to look at the stars in the amazing dark sky at night. We were surrounded by wild life and you can hike up the hills nearby that have gorgeous views. We didn’t have an issue with the cell phone reception. All we did was switch our phones to 3G and we had reliable cell/data during our whole stay. We hope to return again one day. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality Deanne and Lonnie.
