Casa del Rio River House

Enjoy the Medina River at this large guest house with lots of indoor and outdoor living space. Three decks surround the house. Steps lead down to a meadow that borders the river and a walking path. The spacious, multi-level interior is painted in festive, hacienda-style vibrant colors and faux designs and has concrete floors. The Casa del Rio Casita, a charming original 1930 cottage on the grounds of Casa del Rio is also available for the couple whom wants privacy from the main house (see pricing below). Great for families or groups. Not wheelchair accessible or appropriate for anyone who cannot navigate stairs.
