The blue colonial adobe near the plaza of San Ignacio was built by French pioneers Matilde Duclos and Placido Leree. Their daughter Chala welcomed guests and the house became San Ignacio's first guest house, or casa de huespedes.

Today Casa Leree continues to provide a welcome haven, and Juanita offers his guests lovely accommodation in a friendly atmosphere, together with precious information about the history of San Ignacio, and hiking trails in the area.

The house offers 3 accommodation types:
- La Hermosa, a big bedroom located in the main house, featuring a queen-sized bed and a long cot; an adjacent small bedroom with double futon bed; a private bath with shower; and use of the kitchen in the house.
- Piso Rojo, a small room with a double bed, toilet and sink. French doors open at the foot of the bed into the garden under old bougainvilleas.
- La Cocinita, a bedroom with a double bed and an adjoining room, with a long cot and small kitchen appliances, which opens onto the garden.

Piso Rojo and Cocinita share a comfortable and colourful bath with shower and hot water, located in the garden.
Please note rooms have no air-conditioning or TV, but for your entertainment you will find a fantastic book with information about the history of the village and its inhabitants, together with old photos and a collection of tales from the old times, which Juanita has put together through the years she has been living in San Ignacio, becoming a sort of 'living town archive'.

The barn next to the home is now the living room for guests, and the large walled garden offers several private seating areas.
The bookstore, and the gallery of the work of local artisans and exhibit of old photos of San Ignacio are open to the public from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and offer the visitor a chance to learn about the area.
An information map of San Ignacio and a trail map are available for visitors.

A small stream runs through the garden: an acequia which was the old irrigation channel of the mission.
Chickens run loose in the garden, together with a friendly dog.

Casa Leree offers private parking within the garden gates. Dogs are welcome.

Please know that San Ignacio has no bank or ATM and travelers are often inconvenienced by lack of cash.
