This is a gem. It was its own little peaceful place with tons of walking and places to be in nature. The house itself had everything you can imagine and it made you feel very luxe. What a delightful place to land in Santa Fe.

A walker's paradise!
This home in Santa Fe was centrally located, which made getting around town and the surrounding area very easy. We (and our dog!) especially liked the many miles of walking trails throughout the complex.
Numerous skylights throughout the home created a bright and cheery atmosphere. The back patio area was roomy and well appointed......and well used!

Adorable home
This property is tucked away in a very quiet community. Close to everything yet the front and back fenced yards offer tremendous privacy. The house offers the quaint Santa Fe charm that we were seeking. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Behind the Blue Gate
We really enjoyed staying at this house. It was fully furnished. We brought way too many household items since our hostess did not answer questions we asked her several times about the house. Other than that, it was pretty much perfect for a pleasant stay in Santa Fe..

A Great Place
We loved our time at this property. You couldn't ask for better hosts - responded quickly to a couple small things that came up. The location is wonderful and the neighbors were friendly. We enjoyed the walking paths and took advantage of those almost everyday. We love Santa Fe and all the history and things to do in that area.

Terrific experience in a beautiful house
The house is a beautiful place in a lovely neighborhood. Sue and the owner were helpful and super-responsive - the oven thermostat went on the girth, and in a few days a new one was purchased and installed. We had an excellent experience, and look forward to returning next spring.
