About this property
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 space
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..

Pet-Friendly Accommodations
We love welcoming well-behaved dogs to this property! Just a few things to know before you book:
• Pet fee: $75 per pet, per reservation (a one-time flat fee, no matter how long you stay)
• Dogs only, please — we're not able to accommodate cats at this property
• Let us know ahead of time: Please mention your pet(s) when you book so we can prepare properly
A Few Guest Responsibilities
• Please keep an eye on your pet and avoid leaving them alone in the property for long stretches
• If your dog will be alone at any point, they'll need to be crated
• Pets should stay off furniture and beds unless we've said otherwise
• We ask that you cover the cost of any damage your pet causes (charged to the card on file)
• Barking that disturbs the neighbors may lead to extra fees or an early checkout, so please help us keep the peace
Pet Waste
We ask that you clean up after your pet promptly — both indoors and in the yard — throughout your stay. Please do one final check before you check out: any pet waste left in the yard, on patios, or anywhere on the property will result in a significant additional cleaning fee charged to the card on file, so we really appreciate a thorough sweep before you go.
A Couple of Important Notes
We're not able to accommodate cats or exotic pets at this property — if one is brought without approval, it will result in a substantial fee in addition to any repair and cleaning costs. Small dogs can be requested and approved case-by-case before check-in, but unfortunately, we can't approve dogs over 100 lbs (this includes Emotional Support Animals).
*Registered and papered Service Dogs are always welcome.
