We stayed with our adult children for a few days while we were on a road trip. We were close enough to the city square and shopping to do fun things and pick up supplies. However, the location had a more rural and private feel. We were able to watch the sunset and swim under the stars.The house is spacious enough to give each of us our own space, if we wanted, with enough common area that we could hang out. Minus specific groceries and toiletries, the house is fully stocked. We didnât need to do anything other than show up. We loved our stay here.
Fernandoâs Santa Fe home was exactly what we needed. So much room and very comfortable. The pool was the best part! All living spaces and kitchen were very well stocked and the house plants were thriving! Very clean and welcoming. We actually loved the property and all the animals- horses, cat and Chula the dog, who would come and say hello every day.
We loved our stay here. The home was perfect for 5 of us and could easily accommodate more. We enjoyed the pool every day. It was perfect being within easy access of downtown Santa Fe and being away from the crowds. It was very relaxing.
We had an amazing stay at the Desert Retreat House, such a peaceful oasis. It was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. It was so comfortable and we greatly enjoyed the lovely heated pool and beautiful courtyard. Hosts were very attentive and kind. There is honestly nothing that needs to be changed. This house provides such a peaceful stay while still being close to town. We will definitely be back!!
We had a wonderful stay here for Zozobra. The home is very clean and large, lots of private spaces for a large group. The kitchen was fully stocked. We had a wonderful time in the heated pool with plenty of lounge chairs and seating to enjoy the backyard. They even supplied pool floaties and toys for the pool. The owners were very communicative. We had no issues at all. This home is lovely, in a great neighborhood. We highly recommended this home.
Great stay at a beautiful home set in beautiful grounds 10-15 minutes from downtown Santa Fe. The pool and surrounding courtyard were perfect for our 10 and 12 year old kids (and adults!) and we watched evening mountain thunderstorms off in the distance from the front porch. A great stay.
We took our family to Santa Fe to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and this property was the perfect place. All the facilities from the pool to the kitchen to the front porch to the living areas were top notch - exactly as described. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets were also included. The chickens were a plus for the kids. A+++
The house was well-appointed and very comfortable for our family of 10. We had a lovely time hanging out in the yard, and we enjoyed many days swimming in the pool. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and dining areas were well-equipped. The kids enjoyed visiting the horses and chickens each day, and we loved making friends with the owners' dogs.
The house is well-located a few minutes outside of Santa Fe. We visited the Plaza, art galleries, and farmers market downtown, and we went on several hikes and bike rides in the area.
On the last day when we had a problem with our flight, Mercedes went out of her way to offer a helping hand - thanks for a wonderful trip!
Well-appointed and peaceful, this property was the perfect place to call home base while on a vacation in Santa Fe, as it was close enough to be convenient to town, far enough away to be surrounded by nature. The rooms (and private casita) were spacious, and the beds were comfy. The outdoor patio was great, with nice sunset views. The pool was divine, especially after a morning hike. Fernando and Mercedes were gracious hosts. Communication was easy and open, and their welcome gift of fresh eggs from their chickens was a nice gesture. My family and I enjoyed the place and all it had to offer. Highly recommended.
Our group of nine all enjoyed our stay at this nicely decorated property! The kids were so excited to feed the horses carrots, and we all loved the heated pool! We could not have had better gracious hosts! Thank you for everything, Fernando and Mercedez! Weâll be back!
We came for Memorial Day Weekend. One of the only places with a pool and room for 4 adults and 2 kids. It was serene, beautiful and spacious. Fernando was an absolute delight to work with and an amazing human with a huge heart. We will fro sure be back to visit our Heaven on Earth.
We had a wonderful time at this lovely home! The hosts were accommodating, kind, and communicated with us in a timely manner. It's beautifully situated in south Santa Fe just 20 minutes from the Plaza in a very quiet, rural neighborhood. The deck and pool are lovely. The bedrooms and living room are very comfortable. A perfect stay!
Wonderful experience staying at this property! The hosts were amazing, they gave us fresh chicken eggs and we got to admire and feed the horses. Their dogs were the sweetest and stopped by every so often. The pool was absolutely amazing, and the house was beautiful and spacious. If we come back to Santa Fe this is where we would stay again!
