Placitas Treasure

Charlotte and Arnaud have shared a spectacular New Mexico home. The house is sited perfectly on 1.5 acres to take full advantage of the geography and natural landscaping. It’s about as private and quiet as you can get. We confirm what others note about the home being well-equipped. And we can add that there are top-notch mattresses - a real bonus! Thank you for the kind hospitality.

Beautiful New Mexico Getaway

My family and I were in town for a wedding and wanted to stay in a special place. We found it in Charlotte’s home. It’s a beautiful adobe style house in the hills of Placitas. The area is very quiet with spectacular sunsets. The house has everything you could possibly need. It was spotless, comfortable and communication with Charlotte was very smooth. Very close to Santa Fe for a day trip. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. I would definitely stay there again.

Lovely Desert Retreat

This house exceeded all expectations. Charlotte has gone beyond all VRBO houses we have stayed in before. If this house doesn’t have it, you don’t need it. The adobe style house has interesting landscaping that fits in with the desert. She was very quick to answer any questions we had. Stay here if you want to be off the beaten path. Very peaceful.

Wonderful stay at beautiful home in an incredibly peaceful setting

My wife and I felt at home as soon as we walked into this beautiful home. The home included all the amenities we needed for our comfort and convenience, including a fully stocked kitchen- ideal for cooking. Coffee tasted delicious while sitting in the lovely patio overlooking New Mexico’s morning sunrise. We enjoyed the home’s peaceful surroundings and spectacular desert mountain views. The home provided a tranquil, clean, comfortable, and inviting setting for hosting our visiting family. Our stay in Placitas increased our likelihood of our eventual move to New Mexico. Lastly, the home is conveniently located close to numerous restaurants serving New Mexican cuisine, including sopapillas, breakfast burritos, green chile soup, enchiladas and huevos rancheros. :-) We will definitely return to this lovely home next trip to New Mexico.

Quiet Desert Living

I said to my husband, "Do you hear that?" He said, "I don't hear anything." I said, "Exactly." The increasingly rare actual quiet. This is a lovely house, well stocked for kicking back and relaxing--views from every window, comfy furniture, fully equipped kitchen, lots of outdoor seating, games and jigsaw puzzles, interesting books, a Bluetooth speaker for music, well, you get the idea. The owners have obviously put substantial thought into the decor, from the gorgeous cedar (?) floors to the rich desert color furnishings and artwork. And the grounds have been landscaped by someone who knows what they're doing--native plants and natural hardscaping that takes full advantage of the setting, a large property with privacy and open space. An authentic desert living experience (be prepared for a longish, winding way in from the main road). If you're seeking bustling towns and nightlife, this isn't the place for you, but if you're looking for a quiet spot to read a book, sip coffee, watch wildlife, and relax, this is just the ticket.

Peaceful & beautiful desert getaway!

We always wanted to know what it would be like to live in the desert. You made our dreams a reality! Very clean, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The property is amazing!! So much to do - just in the yard! Several seating areas with awesome views. Love how quiet & secluded it was, but still not too far from “city things”. The peaceful mornings on the back porch with visits from wild horses are memories we’ll treasure forever. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place!

Wild Horses and a Quiet Desert

This VRBO is off the beaten path in a foothill town north of ABQ but it was perfect. We booked this house to visit my UNM student for his birthday. The house was beautiful , private, quiet and well-stocked. While it was about 15 minutes to get out of residential areas we enjoyed every minute. The location is a great gateway to the mountains and Sante Fe and an easy drive to shopping and restaurants . The highlight was being surrounded by the pristine desert and catching glimpses of the herd of wild horses that roam the area.
