 "A comment from Lisa and Tom, managers of La Casita - To respond to the mosquito comments - The mosquitos have been bad this year because of the wet spring we had. La Casita is located in a very private and wooded area. When you are down by the lake, use the firepit and that will drive the bugs away and you will enjoy your time by the lake much more. Our cell phones do work here - we use the Alltel phones. They worked very well in the spring, but are spotty during the summer, so when the leaves come out, I guess that determines how well and where your phones might work. One of our guests was able to receive good phone service standing near the satellite dish. We recommend bringing a laptop along and getting the Skype phone service. I have used this service from the house and it works good. Thanks to all our guests for this first summer and thanks to the owners for providing such a beautiful home to share with families from all over!" - , 09/03/08
"The house is working out very well. By the way - the lake is great. Overall our stay was great - including the lake, which was wonderful. " - John and Karen, , 08/26/08
"Taken from the guestbook at La Casita - We arrived at the house early evening Sunday. The house was very clean upon arrival. We had very warm weather and found the house stays very comfortable in temperature. We caught many large and small mouth bass. Here are some tips: Cell phones do not work (at least verizon). Internet is good. The bugs are pretty bad at night down by the lake; you will need your off spray. The kitchen is AWESOME for cooking. I love to cook when I have the time so I can't tell you how the restaurants are. Pizza oven is really awesome; beds are very comfortable. We had a great time - thank you for sharing your home." - The Macdonalds, , 08/17/08
"Taken from the guestbook at La Casita - We arrived very late and were glad to find the house and they keys. The boys were excited and scared the first night. We fished, toured the pictured rocks and also drove to the falls where we hiked and swam. The detail in the house is exceptional! Had no problems with bugs or other wildlife and after a few days, we're sorry to see it end." - The Ryan Family, , 08/16/08
"Taken from the guestbook at La Casita - The house is very beautiful and very comfortable. The bugs were awful! It was really nice to stay in a secluded area and get away. Thanks for the stay and for including most everything needed!! Our trip was very relaxing." - Scott, Renee, Jess, Jamie, Hunter, Cincinnati, OH, 08/02/08
 "Taken from the guestbook at La Casita - We had a relaxing time at this beautiful home. The fireplace was wonderful as soon as we got the hang of how to position the logs. Last night we tried to use the pizza oven, but for some reason it made it really smokey in the house so we cooked the crust in the oven, but finished it in the pizza oven! Ya'll did a great job having the things we needed in the kitchen. Loved the privacy of the location." - Kristin, Dallas, TX, 07/24/08
"Taken from the guestbook at La Casita - What a great home! Fishing on Sister Lake was fantastic! My son did not want to stop. Many, many small mouth and large mouth caught each day. The sights were good, but got lost on many back roads. Used the pizza oven; thank you, Lisa, for the homemade starter kit. Please be patient and get the oven up to temperature." - Catherine, Gerald, Alana, Katin &, Arlington Hts, IL, 07/13/08
"Email from guest of La Casita del Bosque Hi Lisa, We had a great time and loved the house. The additional furniture arriving benefited the rest of our stay. The fishing was great. We used the paddle boat and trolled off the back of it with crawlers and a sinker.(can you tell we're from Indiana?). We fished maybe a total of 15 hrs during the week and probably caught and released upwards of 60 to 70 fish, all smallmouth. The swimming and firepit were not really condusive to use simply because of the insects (in particular the mosquitos), not much anyone can do about that this time of year. Karen and I were both very impressed with your attention to detail both with the way the house was equipped and all the reference info you had for us it made the vacation all the nicer.
