La Casita was locally designed and built with a timber frame construction by "Timberpeg".  The wood for this majestic home was recycled from standing dead Douglas Fir, harvested from the Mt. Hood Region of Oregon.  The front and back doors, stair rails, casement and trim were all hand made and resawn from the extra timbers.  The table top and kitchen island is custom made from black walnut, and the kitchen cabinets are made from butternut.  The unique design of La Casita shows off slate floors that were painstakingly hand cut and strategically placed, Hemlock floors that were harvested locally, a top of the line kitchen, massive fireplace with an " Old World " baker's oven, and exposed post and beams.

The Master suite has a queen size bed, flat screen TV with DVD player, en-suite bathroom with jetted tub and a separate area for the sink and granite topped vanity; The built in hanging and drawer storage as well as the built in ironing center makes this private suite unique and efficient.  A private door to the deck and nature will allow secret access to late night star gazing for mom and dad while the children are sound asleep. 

The loft has a sitting area and two guest bedrooms each with a queen size bed, which fit uniquely into custom designed wall pockets; A cushioned chair in each bedroom, built in hanging and drawer storage in one and a dresser in the other; The two guest bedrooms share a large bathroom with a tub/shower.  Each room has windows for looking out at the forest.

The main floor provides open space living with the great room and kitchen.  There are plenty of windows that allow the natural light in and because this property is so wooded, La Casita will stay nice and cool during the hot summer months.

Full kitchen amenities include, granite counter tops, island with breakfast counter, plenty of butternut cabinets, gas stove top, built in oven and broiler, refrigerator with automatic ice maker, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, bread machine, blender, beautiful dinner ware, place mats, silverware, cookware, utensils, bake ware, Cuisinart coffee pot, 4 slice toaster, granite countertops, basic spices, massive fireplace with an "old world" bakers oven for baking pizzas, breads and much more.  Instructions on how to use this oven as well as firewood will be provided;

La Casita del Bosque is a one of a kind beauty and is set in a tranquil environment with the intention of peace and quiet; therefore the lake has a “no motor” restriction for quiet fishing.  You are welcome to fish the small mouth bass with “catch and release” in mind.  Bring your fishing pole and worms and cast from shore as the fish like to feed around the natural shoreline.  You are welcome to bring your own canoe or kayak to paddle around the lake or to fish from.  Swimming is great too with a sandy bottom and nice clear water!  Just follow the sloping rustic path down to the lake.  You have the best of both worlds when you stay at La Casita...a luxury home in a rustic setting.

We hope you enjoy your stay, you leave refreshed and you choose La Casita del Bosque for your family vacation for years to come!
