Close enough to Santa Fe but away from the crowds. The place was clean, well stocked, and our home base for Santa Fe adventures.

Beautiful home!
Loved our stay here! The outdoor space was great - we had so much fun watching the 6+ hummingbirds at the feeder every morning. Beautiful decor, comfy beds, just a great space overall. We did have some issues with the filtered water running out, so I would recommend picking up water at the grocery store if you want filtered water. Other than that, it was great!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so glad to hear that you loved your stay and enjoyed the outdoor space, especially the delightful hummingbirds at the feeder. It's wonderful to know that you found the decor beautiful and the beds comfy.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the filtered water running out. Your suggestion to pick up water at the grocery store is very helpful, and we will make sure to communicate this to future guests.
Thank you once again for your kind words. We hope to welcome you back for another great stay in the future!
Stayed 6 days in this peaceful home with lovely mountain views and well equipped kitchen in mid-August. The hummingbird feeder was outstanding with so many visits and the apricots on the trees at the entrance were so numerous that they were given away for free. So relaxing that my friend said she didn’t want to go anywhere else. But it was still so easy to run into Santa Fe for a concert or meal. Most Memorable and must visit again!
