Spent 4 nights as a repeat customer - the hosts were warm and gracious as always. The casita was cosy and perfect for my needs. Look forward to a return stay soon.
We just loved staying there at Kelly's Casita. It's so cozy and super quiet. Tom and Kelly are awesome hosts and wonderful people. I highly recommend to book it if it's open.
Everything about the property was ideal. Great location to access anything in Rio Rancho, Corrales and Bernalillo. Beautiful views of the mountains and great hosts with lots of knowledge of the best places to eat. Would definitely stay again.
I was traveling solo due to a family emergency. I need a quiet, safe place to stay and Kelly's Casita was perfect. I loved all the decor and positive vibes. I will stay next trip to Rio Rancho!
Quiet and very clean. Just right for 1 or 2 people to stay in. We stayed 2 nights. Street access is not paved (graveled road), but fine to drive on; the driveway to the house and casita in back, however, is paved. Great host!
We had a great time at Kelly’s casita. Tom was out of town, so his son in law, Lucas, stepped in. Lucas was wonderfully friendly. And even though Tom was out of town, he checked in regularly. The casita is exceptionally clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is also very nice and we felt safe there. If I am ever in Rio Rancho again, I’d would definitely pick Kelly’s Casita as my home away from home.
Tom and Kelly were great hosts, and we enjoyed our stay.
