This casita was spotless, beautifully appointed, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the peace and quiet and loved relaxing on the private deck, where we could listen to a variety of birds and enjoy the fragrant surrounding vegetation.If you're willing to venture just a few minutes beyond the city center, you'll be rewarded with this little slice of paradise. We would highly recommend staying here and would gladly return ourselves.

Heaven is a place on Earth! Not only was this in a breathtaking part of Santa Fe, an immaculate and thoughtful Casita but Michelle went above and beyond to ensure that my chemical/fragrance sensitivities were accommodated. I could breath and not be sickened by fragrance.I felt surrounded by the best nature has to offer and much rejuvenated from City life.My only disappointment is that we had to leave!

Relaxing, serene, quiet retreat

An amazing area close to town for our day trips throughout the week. The casita is comfortable and well equipped for cooking, everything we needed. In the evenings we enjoyed watching the bunnies from the patio! Lovely place you have and thank you for sharing with us.

Slice of heaven in the hill above Santa Fe

Our second stay at this beautiful modern Santa Fe guest home, and it won't be our last. We love the peaceful private setting on the hill above Santa Fe. The guest house is lovely and comfortable, filled with light and containing everything we need for a perfect getaway. We love the neighborhood and proximity to some of our favorite hiking trails. Close enough to town to have access to all Santa Fe has to offer in under 5 minutes, and yet the setting feels so peaceful and remote. The guest house is set perfectly next to the owner's home in such a way to provide privacy and take advantage of the forest views. The owners are lovely and thoughtful to guests needs. Highly recommend.

Zen Retreat

This property is an excellent choice when visiting Santa Fe. The pictures tell the story. Large one bedroom casita - about 1000 feet. High end furnishings throughout. Fully stocked kitchen with induction stove, oven/boiler and microwave. Lots of natural light, with views of the surrounding property. Separate from the main house, it feels very private. Ten minutes to the Plaze, excellent hiking courses three minutes away. Amazing stars at night. And very quiet. Owner is very communicative. Highly recommended.

A get away from Dallas

The Casita was a very warm and welcoming place. From the, “Welcome to the Casita”, hand written note, to the deer walking past the property in the early morning. This place is a 10 out of 10. It was clean, well maintained, the instruction manual was clear on what to do in all situations. The grocery stores and the downtown area were about 5-10 minutes away. The nights were quiet, safe and the open screened windows let in a welcomed cool breeze. Michelle was the perfect host for this VRBO. When we first got to the Casita, she greeted us and show us around. I thought that was very sweet of her. We took advantage of the nearby hiking trails and sightseeing in downtown Santa Fe. We had a fantastic time and will return to Santa Fe in the near future.

The Zen Retreat is a lovely, spacious casita nestled in a lovely,quiet, wooded area. It’s near fabulous hiking trails up the mountains and still able to be at the Plaza within about 10 minutes. Fully equipped kitchen, nice patio for warmer months, very clean. We spent 6 nights here and will definitely recommend to friends traveling to Santa Fe.

The Casita was beautiful and tranquil, a true retreat for our stay in Santa Fe. It's located in a neighborhood that's convenient to the city and surroundings but feels wonderfully quiet and private. I have never seen so many stars!The space is thoughtfully curated with everything we needed and some lovely perks as well: a spa-quality bath, a delightful deck with fire pit, and a well-appointed kitchen. Michelle is a warm and attentive host who was available for questions and advice. This property is a 10-plus--we'll be back!

A total Zen experience!We had an absolutely wonderful stay and would happily return again! Everything about this lovely casita is as described — clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and incredibly well stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The outdoor space is lovely and perfect for morning coffee and evening sunsets. It truly lives up to its name of a luxurious zen retreat!The location is ideal: peaceful and quiet, yet still close to restaurants and shops. We especially appreciated Michelle's touches, including clear communication, easy check-in instructions, and thoughtful amenities that made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. It’s obvious she truly cares about creating a great guest experience. Everything was smooth, stress-free, and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable stay!

Great location for hiking and biking

Beautiful secluded setting among the Pinon and Juniper along arroyo piedra, trail access across street to the Dale Ball trail system. Coyote music in the evenings. Great location, short drive to town or Ten Thousand Waves spa and road to Ski Santa Fe. Every cooking utensil available, great appliance, comfortable furniture and bed.

Great getaway

The house was clean and comfortable, the property was secluded but a short drive from everything, and the host, Michelle, was on-site, lovely, and responsive. We've come to Santa Fe almost yearly since 1982, and Michelle's house beats a hotel any day. If you seek peace and quiet, this house is perfect for two.

Cute 1 bedroom stay in the woods

Casita! I loved the location, knowing it was a 5 min drive from downtown. The space was great- although it’s definitely one bedroom which I felt was a little unclear. Had a bit of a musty smell and I wish there were window coverings in the bedroom, but overall great stay
