Quiet, comfy, and well fitted out. Great for maximum of 2 people. Needed a car to get to the cabin. A bit too far for walking into town. Oh, having GPS won’t hurt! The host is personable and is a really nice guy.

Cozy Nest in a special place

This was the ideal place to spend a few days. Quiet, friendly neighborhood. Close enough to trails that you can get a nice stroll in before starting your day. Quick drive to the main plaza and everything else. The house is pretty spacious, cozy, and has everything you need. John even brought over fresh pastries one morning! Even the shower was terrific. Truly enjoyed my stay!

Tranquil Getaway, Terrific Host!!

What a wonderful peaceful setting John’s.casita is! Nestled in a beautiful neighborhood full of walking opportunities, gorgeous views, dark skies with trillions of stars…anxiety literally drips off of you. Casita was spotless and had all the amenities one would need. Great private deck with bbq-was just a wee bit too chilly to try the bbq but could imagine a great meal out there when warmer! John was a super host and from the minute meeting him you know he is a good soul and kind man. Altitude hit me harder than normal so we spent more time at the casita than planned-being in this beautiful setting made up for that!

Perfect - as as depictred

The directions to the property were spot on. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. Quick drive to the plaza and other sites.The accommodations were exactly as depicted. Comfortable, spacious enough for the two of us. Loved the extra touches, snacks, coffee, wine, croissants the first morning. Comfortable bed. Enough hot water for our showers. The parking spot is steps from the casita. John is a kind, responsive host. Would love to return here if we make it back to Santa Fe. Thank you for your hospitality.

The perfect home base while exploring Santa Fe

John’s casita was perfect for our vacation to Santa Fe. We traveled with our two dogs and had plenty of room. The bathroom and kitchen areas were both spacious along with the living area. John provided snacks and pastries for us - such a thoughtful and kind touch! The neighborhood was beautiful and we felt very safe. It is close to the Plaza and easy to head out to the mountains.
