"We had a great time! The property was beautiful and exactly what we ended up needing. While we were in 2 of the units and had 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms it was a little odd that the bathrooms were inside the bedrooms. It did make it awkward for late night/early morning bathroom time….Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of the house! "

"Great spot! Spent the night in Santa Fe for a show at the Opera House which is only a couple miles away from the casita. Great place for our little dog too. FYI there is a $50 pet fee ($56 after what I assume is a processing fee) which we didn’t know about until after we booked the property. We would stay here again!"
