Santa Fe hideaway

The property was perfect for our needs! Beautifully appointed, quiet, and within walking distance of the Plaza in Santa Fe. Hosts are lovely people, who provided very thoughtful welcome gifts and made themselves available for any questions or concerns (of which there were none!) Definitely a wonderful place to stay!

This is one of, if not the nicest, places we have stayed. It’s perfect for two adults. It’s gorgeous and it’s easy to see that the host is an artist with great taste. It’s a quick 10 minute walk to downtown and perfect location as we were there for the Indian Market. We met the hosts who were sweet as can be, and they left sample of chocolate, lotions as well as tortilla chips and salsa. The location is in the back of the property, so was very quiet and the property is located across from a park. I’ve stayed at places which have been described as clean, but Dos Casitas actually was clean, I think the cleanest place I’ve stayed at. There is a washer/dryer and detergent there, a kitchen, a living room with cable TV, WiFi. It was beyond perfect for our short stay.

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.

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.

We were very pleased with the space. The living area was a bit small, but big enough for us. And the fireplace was a plus. Bathroom was spacious and the bedrooms were spacious as well. The outside area was lovely as well. The location was perfect. Walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and walking along the river. Susan was very welcoming and lovely to talk to.
