General overview
A "Pueblo Magico" of Mexico, known for its outdoor wall murals.
Typical Mexican village. Encountered by the Spanish in 1531. Private art galleries, both Mexican and international restaurants, and the all-important central plaza. Hiking trails up the hill.
We are in the tropics, but at 1,700 metres (5,100 feet). So we have rather good weather all year around.
Ajijic is a winter (or summer) getaway for Canadians and Americans, and is a popular retirement area.
We are driving distance to Guadalajara (1 h), the seaside Manzanillo (3.5h) and Puerto Vallarta (6-7h), and the old colonial cities Guanajuato (4h), Queretero, Zacatecas and Morelia.
Our own travel schedule is crowded during 2024. We often book in advance, so you can "like" our property and come back to talk us in fall 2024/winter 2025.
Our property for you is usually April to December.
The space
We call it the Mirador Loft. Architecturally designed "casita", all new construction in 2017.
Mainly contemporary style, total indoor and balcony space 74 sq m (796 sq ft) on second floor.
Spacious open concept living room/dining room/kitchen. Full kitchen with granite counters. Kitchen cupboards and doors and closets are all exotic-looking solid “parote” hardwood. The living room and balcony face Ajijic Centro and lake (but obscured by buildings and trees).
The one queen bedroom is a few steps up from the living room, facing our professionally landscaped garden with mangos, bananas, and hummingbirds. Queen bed, brick cupola and ceiling fan, ensuite washroom with shower.
High-ceilinged living room with ceiling fan, window blinds. Wi-Fi and a 50” TV. Air conditioning is not necessary, as it catches whatever on-shore breezes there may be.
There is a shared roof patio for great views of the lake and sunset, shared with other guests.
There is also a recreational pool and patio shared with other guests.
Guest access
The secure property has one front gate which serves the owners' Casa Grande, another casita, and another apartment.
You will get two sets of two keys each.
This Mirador Loft is 1 story above street level.
Grab bars at toilet and shower.
Notes
There is good day-hiking on the many trails on the mountain a 12 minute walk behind us.
If this Mirador Loft is not available, we also have the one-bed Casita Grande, the Casa Grande with one small queen bedroom on this same property, and a large 3-bedroom Casa Colorado in West Ajijic. All are on PLU.
Whichever timing suits your preferences and our availabilities. Usually we have no availability in January to February.
The water is treated and potable.
There is a pool with solar heating.
Our cleaner comes in once per week.

Neighbourhood
We are in a typical Mexican neighbourhood. Ajijic is a typical lively and colorful Mexican village, except it is more prosperous and caters to foreigners with good restaurants, art galleries and shops.
The village is lakefront, but it is not at all like an ocean beach. The lake is healthy, but it is not popular for swimming.
Getting to my home
From Ajijic Plaza, walk 5 minutes up Calle Marcos Castellanos.
From Guadalajara or Chapala, take a bus or taxi.
Nearest airport
GDL (Guadalajara) airport is a 35 minute taxi ride.
Getting around
Since we are central, almost everything is within a 15 minute walk. There is a frequent bus service to neighboring towns of Chapala and Guadalajara.
