Wonderful visit to DayBreak Star Adobe home
Stayed 6 days in this peaceful home with lovely mountain views and well equipped kitchen in mid-August. The hummingbird feeder was outstanding with so many visits and the apricots on the trees at the entrance were so numerous that they were given away for free. So relaxing that my friend said she didn’t want to go anywhere else. But it was still so easy to run into Santa Fe for a concert or meal. Most Memorable and must visit again!

Great Girls Getaway
Close enough to Santa Fe but away from the crowds. The place was clean, well stocked, and our home base for Santa Fe adventures.
