Casa de MariposaCasa de Mariposa, “house of butterflies” in Spanish, was named for Katelyn’s love of butterflies. Kurt Lucas, of JKL Design, created custom wrought iron gates with Katelyn’s signature butterfly spectacularly adorned around the lush tropical pool area. Each room has a unique butterfly item from all around the world, all walks of life, including gifts from our tenants, family and friends all to honor the memory of Katelyn. Casa de Mariposa was created with a tremendous amount of love to cherish and make memories!
