**We welcome children at Casitas de Gila! But please note that our 2-bedroom Casita is the ONLY CASITA SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN AGE 5 OR YOUNGER!

All rates include Continental Breakfast for first 4 nights.

There is a $10 per night additional charge for stays over the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holiday periods.

NM Gross Receipts Tax of 6.1875% and Grant Co. Lodgers Tax of 5% are additional.

Please be sure to read our deposit and cancellation policies below before you make your reservation.

Pets:

Out of consideration for people who are allergic to animals,
we regret that we DO NOT ALLOW PETS at Casitas de Gila Guesthouses.

Children:

Children age 5 and younger are welcome in Casita del Sol y la Luna, our 2-bedroom Casita, which can accommodate up to 6 people. Our 1-bedroom casitas can accommodate up to 3 people, including children age 6 and over.

Guests must be at least 18 years old to occupy a Casita without an adult. In other words, we will not make a room reservation for a minor without an adult staying in the room as well.

Children under the age of 15 must be in the company of an adult at all times when on our property and may not be left alone in a Casita.

The minimum age for use of our hot tub is 12 years (having done a great deal of research on immune systems and safety issues).

We recognize that the incredible quiet we have at Casitas de Gila Guesthouses and Nature Preserve is difficult to find in the world today, and we want all our guests to be able to enjoy it. Casitas de Gila is a wonderful place for children who love nature and the out-of-doors. We understand that children are happy and boisterous, but we do ask that you and your children be respectful of other guests who have come here anticipating a quiet getaway.

Casita Amenities:

Continental Breakfast is included for the first four nights. This includes baked sweetbreads, yogurt, english muffins, bagels, cereals, 2% milk, orange juice, coffee, tea. (If you prefer a different milk, just give us at least a week's notice and we'll get it for you.)

Kitchens are stocked with condiments (salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, spices, butter, jam, etc.), charcoal, charcoal starter, sodas… this is included in the nightly rate!

All our kitchens are full kitchens, with a range/oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, coffeemaker, toaster, dishes, glassware, cutlery, pots and pans … they're as well equipped as your kitchen at home!

Each Casita has a picnic table and charcoal bbq grill. We also have 2 gas grills available (shared by the Casitas closest to them).

Free WIFI in each Casita.

Each Casita has a kiva fireplace inside (seasonal), a chimenea outside, and a supply of firewood.

Linens, towels, bath supplies, bathrobes, hair dryers, clock radios.

Outdoor hot tub (shared by the 5 Casitas) (12 years of age or older only).

Telephone in each Casita (your cell phone will not work at the Casitas).

6 miles of hiking trails, including a Self-guided Nature Trail, and access to Bear Creek.

Library of information on Southwestern New Mexico, its culture, history, activities, and attractions.

Spotting scope and star charts in each Casita.

Reservation, Deposit & Cancellation Policies:

All reservations require a 50% deposit at time of reservation. We accept all major credit cards.

If your plans should change and you find it necessary to cancel your reservation, we would appreciate knowing as early as possible.

If you fail to cancel your reservation, any deposit paid will be forfeited.

We regret there are no refunds or credits within 24 hours of arrival date for early departures, late arrivals or cancellations.

If you cancel your reservation more than 21 days prior to arrival, your deposit will be refunded less a $25 per casita cancellation fee. If your cancellation is less than 21 days prior to arrival, please see next two items.

NON-HOLIDAY PERIOD BALANCE & CANCELLATION POLICY

The balance owed on your reservation is payable on arrival.

Refunds will be given for cancellations received less than 21 days prior to arrival subject to our ability to fill the reservation and less a $25 per casita cancellation fee. If we cannot fill your cancelled reservation, we will extend to you a credit for the amount of your deposit to be used for another stay at Casitas de Gila within 12 months of your originally scheduled stay.

HOLIDAY PERIOD BALANCE & CANCELLATION POLICY

The balance owed on your reservation is payable 21 days prior to arrival.

Refunds will be given for cancellations received less than 21 days prior to arrival subject to our ability to fill the reservation and less a $25 per casita cancellation fee. This means that if we can fill your cancelled room(s), we will happily refund your money (less the cancellation fees). Otherwise, we regret we can make no refunds.

We dislike charging anyone for time they are not here — that's not our goal, and maintaining goodwill is important to us as a business. But we do have only a limited number of rooms and late cancellations often cost us the chance to book the room to someone else.

We do ask that departures be made by 10 AM so we have time to prepare the Casitas for our next guests. We will always try to accommodate late departures; 24-hour notice is needed so we can alert our housekeeping staff. Please note that our housekeeping staff may not be able to adjust their schedule.
