We enjoyed our stay in this safe, quiet neighborhood. The small Casita (perfect for two people) has a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable living spaces, and modern climate control. We were greeted with some delicious treats when we arrived, as well as breakfast pastries on out first morning! Our host was friendly and helpful, suggesting a great local cafe for lunch that we ended up visiting twice. Pleasant, private outdoor deck for breakfast or relaxing after a busy day.

This was a darling little casita in the mountains but just a short drive to Canyon Rd & the Plaza. We had a lovely bottle of wine & chips & Green Chili Salsa waiting for us & warm pastries one morning. We were looking forward to trying the sauna, but it wasn’t available. We had our little 15 lb. dog with us & she loved it too, going for walks in the beautiful mountains. We however didn’t realize there would be an extra fee added on at the end of our stay for a pet. We would have rather known & paid for that up front so that we can budget our trip better! We were overall very pleased with our host, John and his lovely casita!

Cozy Nest in a special place

This was the ideal place to spend a few days. Quiet, friendly neighborhood. Close enough to trails that you can get a nice stroll in before starting your day. Quick drive to the main plaza and everything else. The house is pretty spacious, cozy, and has everything you need. John even brought over fresh pastries one morning! Even the shower was terrific. Truly enjoyed my stay!

Tranquil Getaway, Terrific Host!!

What a wonderful peaceful setting John’s.casita is! Nestled in a beautiful neighborhood full of walking opportunities, gorgeous views, dark skies with trillions of stars…anxiety literally drips off of you. Casita was spotless and had all the amenities one would need. Great private deck with bbq-was just a wee bit too chilly to try the bbq but could imagine a great meal out there when warmer! John was a super host and from the minute meeting him you know he is a good soul and kind man. Altitude hit me harder than normal so we spent more time at the casita than planned-being in this beautiful setting made up for that!

Perfect - as as depictred

The directions to the property were spot on. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. Quick drive to the plaza and other sites.The accommodations were exactly as depicted. Comfortable, spacious enough for the two of us. Loved the extra touches, snacks, coffee, wine, croissants the first morning. Comfortable bed. Enough hot water for our showers. The parking spot is steps from the casita. John is a kind, responsive host. Would love to return here if we make it back to Santa Fe. Thank you for your hospitality.
