"We are truly grateful we decided to spend a few days in Española at this amazing, eclectic house. The home is filled with so many vintage items we were spying new pieces each day. The bed we used was extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The bathroom was clean, well lit and had good toilet paper - lol - one of my pet peeves. Our hostess, Kathryn, was a delight. She gave us a tour of the historic church and told us of her restoration of the historic plaza. Kathryn is a gifted...

"My husband and I enjoyed the history and local culture at this apartment. Our host, Kathryn, freely gave us a tour of the local church which was built in the 1700's. She also showed us other adobes she's restored in the area and told us of her plans to revitalize the plaza area that surrounds the apartment. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to stay in an adobe structure, this is the place for you."

Remodeled 150 Year old Adobe, In historic New Mexico Village
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (72)
"We really enjoyed our stay at Annette and Ben's! Their adobe was one of the nicest places we've stayed, very comfortable to come back to after our hikes, had the necessary kitchen supplies including a good assortment of basic spices and condiments to cook some of our own meals and was in a beautiful location. Ben brought us fresh eggs, shared hike suggestions and was great at getting back to us. Their place is in a very rural area which was perfect for us. We loved sitting outside on the patio...

Spacious home & guest house with large patio, incredible views, & wood fireplace
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (19)
"We had a great reunion with old friends here. Beautiful view, quiet, easy enough travel to Santa Fe proper. The check in was a bit of a problem as the codes had been changed but our host responded quickly. The kitchen lacked a few essentials imho like cooking oil, a good variety of pots and pans, and the correct size coffee filters but overall it was superb and we would stay here again."

9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (7)
"Our family stayed in this home for an early Christmas celebration. The home is beautiful and the location is nice. The cleanliness was a bit subpar. It had snowed a few days prior to our families arrival and the driveway and walks had not been cleaned. I had to call the local property manager to come and do the task. The home had nearly all battery operated vertical window coverings and many had dead batteries so we couldn’t operate them. The home had everything we needed and was a wonderful...
