Wilderness Casita's sleeping deck

There is a park-like space behind Wilderness Casita where one may sit in the shade and enjoy the forest. A trail from this area leads to Casita's outdoor covered sleeping deck: this is a great place for amateur astronomers and stargazers. This sleeping deck has two twin-sized beds: if you wish to use the sleeping deck, please bring your own sleeping bag.

The sleeping deck has been extremely popular with people staying at Casita, day and night. Most laptop computers can receive Internet via WiFi at the sleeping deck; the sleeping deck is also an excellent place to read. One of our guests was inspired by the view from the sleeping deck to write haiku, which he has allowed us to repeat here:

Small birds fly through fences
as X-rays - butterflies bounce
softly off reflections
