Thanks Don Jorge.

If we had been traveling without or dogs, we would have considered this place. It really looks great---we only saw it from the outside.

San Ignacio is so nice

Juanita is one of those very special people. Just talking to her you feel the love she has for San Ignacio and her new life there. You could not find a more authentic Baja location. Glad to see her get some much deserved recognition.

I looked at the website and missed that----thanks, one cannot return to San Ignacio too many times. Maybe next time we will stop and ask, but are also quite pleased with Hotel Posada.

Even if we don't stay there, she sounds like someone I would like to stop and meet.

It is so wonderful to hear about someone giving back to baja¨and being truly interested in it for something more than just making money. I´m really looking forward to visiting her when I can as I have heard great things about this woman.

Jaunita and her place are both wonderful. I doubt there are many that have assimulated so well into the local culture.

Hey JDtrotter you stayed at Playa Naranjas? We just checked it out a few days ago as a possible future place to stay in the cabanas there. How did that go?

We just got back from San Ignacio and stayed two nights for the second time at the charming Casa Leree. It is a treat to know Juanita and I really enjoy her place. She has a deluxe room with private toilet and shower, also an adjacent room with a small double bed that rents for $65. They are in the main house. Then she has a tiny room with a double bed and toilet she rents for $35. Another room has a double bed and a single cot with a bathroom outdoors. That is also $35. The courtyard is very pleasant to relax in with many old trees and antiques to look at. She has a dog and chickens. I would bring earplugs due to noisy dogs and roosters. All the rooms have tea and coffee available and a cozy outdoor seating area. It's interesting to read her book on the reminiscences of the homesteaders and residents of San Ignacio. All day long, a string of local people flow in and out of her house. She has completely incorporated her life into the life of the village.

Let me jump on the band-wagon here. My girlfriend and I stayed at Juanita's place ... Casa Leree ... for a couple of days recently. Juanita has a peaceful way about her that reflects throughout the grounds. Very nice. You can open her compilation of stories about San Ignacio's history very easily, but you'll have a difficult time closing it. And bidding good-bye is another story altogether.
