Great Little Spot in Santa Fe

We (3 adults) stayed here for a few nights for my mom's birthday trip. Although the couch is not sleepable, we doubled up in one bed and found the place to be very comfortable. Its a sweet little ADU behind the residence, close enough to the plaza that we could have walked, with almost no street noise and off street parking. Check in and out was straightforward and the property manger was communicative and helpful with anything we needed. We'd definitely stay again.

Cute casita

Original plan was 3 adults but thank goodness only 2 stayed. Listing states air conditioning and I called managers to ask if it was central air. I was told it was but arrived to find one window unit that worked properly. Other bedrooms AC was located in a laundry closet. The floor heater was on without any information about it making the entire house heated in late June! We requested fan but it came late the next day. Owners of property were out of town but very apologetic when they returned. Managing company was useless.

Perfect stay

The Desert Sky retreat is a beautifully appointed house decorated in an authentic and artistic Santa Fe style. It is quiet, comfortable and very clean, with a small charming outdoor patio off the well stocked kitchen. The hosts even provided a welcome package of local Santa Fe coffee, snacks and a bottle of wine. The house is in a perfect location. A grassy river walk is just across the street, perfect for walking our dog. Several great restaurants are within walking distance and the Santa Fe plaza is just a .6-mile walk away. We truly enjoyed our stay and will stay again.

Beautiful Casita Close to Santa Fe Plaza and the Railyard

My family and I (including our two dogs) just finished a lovely three-night stay at the Desert Sky casita. Everything was terrific and we recommend it highly. Pre-arrival communications from the host, Susan, were timely and very helpful, and she was responsive, accommodating, and charming throughout our stay. She made all of us and our dogs feel most welcome. Check-in was extremely smooth and easy. And the casita is wonderful: beautifully decorated and furnished, with a nice small enclosed courtyard for our exclusive use. We loved the heated floors in the bedrooms and bathroom -- so comfortable in the winter cold. The casita is just across the street from the Santa Fe river and its paths, so dog walks or family walks to the Plaza area were quick, easy, and beautiful. Overall it was the perfect place for a perfect stay. We will definitely come back again and give it (and Susan) our highest recommendation.
