Adorable and comfortable Casita

Property presents just as listed. Quiet village outside of Sante Fe, but quick and easy access to anything you’d want to do in and around Sante Fe. Good communication throughout….from booking to stay and beyond. I left a jacket that was promptly shipped to me. Would definitely stay again?

Super tranquil casita right off of the Winsor trail head

we had a wonderful stay here! The casita was quiet, clean and very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. It was in the perfect location to skip into town or jump on the winsor for a hike. Just down the road from our favorite outpost market/eatery, Tesuque Market. Loved it!

Amazing getaway casita

This was our second visit here, and was once again a true little slice of heaven. Very quaint casita with lots of charm, well-equipped and beautifully furnished, and a great location (nice and quiet). Quick drive to downtown and shopping areas. You can't go wrong with this gem of a place.

Peaceful retreat

My husband and I stayed here for 9 nights and I must say it was an absolute joy! Gorgeously decorated casita with a beautiful, private outdoor space. Communication with Melissa was a breeze. We really enjoyed the access to hiking almost right outside the door. And we REALLY appreciate that dogs AND cats are welcome. We would stay here again without hesitation. It’s a super peaceful neighborhood ☺️

Charming casita in a great location

We really enjoyed our stay in Tesuque! It was a quick trip into Santa Fe and a beautiful setting! This casita is your happy place! It is decorated with color and happy touches. Melissa is an excellent hostess, she provided apples from her tree and flowers from her garden. The coffee is wonderful and the outdoor seating is peaceful. I can’t think of anything that would make it better - we can’t wait to return!

Cozy Cottage

A sweet little adobe - when we arrived it was snowing so it did take us awhile to get the place warmed up. Very cozy with everything we needed to feel at home. The negative was the fact that it wasnt as secluded as we had expected. Busy neighborhood.

This was our second stay at this wonderful casita. We just finished a 6000+ mile road trip and needed the comfort that this retreat provides before we returned home. This casita is perfection…hope to return again in the future. Melissa is the quintessential host! Many thanks for sharing this treasure with us.

Anniversary get away!

Our anniversary was wonderful due to Melissa's hospitality and her wonderful home! It was perfect for us to hike nearby and to hit all of the sites including Santa Fe, Ghost Ranch, and Taos to name a few. Melissa even left a bottle of champagne, 2 glasses, and a note wishing us happy anniversary in the refrigerator! We highly recommend you enjoy this lovely and cute house. Best, Heidi

Charming Casita well located in Sante Fe

We could not have been more pleased with this property. It was well located to the Santa Fe Opera as well as the historic downtown. Actually it was well located to everything Santa Fe and the major highways leading north to Los Alamos and the Bandelier National Historical site. The casita itself is charming, has a well stocked kitchen, and is CLEAN. Our host was most informative as to what was happening in Santa Fe, directed us to two groceries, and made herself available throughout our stay. We had a wonderful time. We are recommending this casita to others.

Cozy Tesuque Casita

We have stayed in this fine Casita in Tesuque two years in a row. Its really cozy, warm, and very light for a traditional adobe casita. its only about 12 minutes from everything by car. The quiet nights out in the Valley are the reason we love this place. Very well appointed with nice dishes, furniture, and decent kitchenware. The brand new mini-splits made a huge difference as the weather was starting to get cold. Melissa is a very accommodating and thoughtful host.

Absolutely amazing home and host!

If you want to have a wonderful, cozy and beautifully decorated Santa Fe stay, this is the home! We originally were going to visit in March and unfortunately had a trip delay. Melissa was beyond understanding, kind, and accommodating as we rescheduled for later in the summer. Despite the delay, her home and hospitality did not disappoint! We loved her home and the drive to her neighborhood is unmatched with Mountain View’s. Couldn't recommend her home more and will be staying again next Santa Fe trip!

The Sweetest Casita

We had the most wonderful time! The Casita Margarita is clean, charming and quiet. Comfy bed, comfy couch/bed. Plenty of room to hang out with our doggers. All the necessary amenities. Excellent heaters. Coffee maker and nicely equipped kitchen. Lovely yard with a coyote fence that kept our dogs safe from wandering so we could have coffee on the patio and let them sniff about. What an amazing night sky! Wonderful trees and hills very close. We aren't hikers but there are trails close by. Easily access Santa Fe downtown, too. Melissa was so helpful and easy to communicate with. Check-in was a breeze as was check-out. Five stars all around for this lovely, lovely place. We will be back for sure! The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. Very safe.

Breathe easy

I really can’t begin to express the amount of gratitude I have for rescuing me a week early from a different rental that was truly awful during my local home remodel! WiFi and cable TV were very reliable (unlike the previous place) and the artistic details & attention to guests’ potential needs made it so easy to finally relax and focus on some long overdue ME time! Melissa was incredibly responsive, even delivering a new toaster oven and hot plate the same day when the gas oven/range went out. It took a bit of creativity on my part planning single serve meals with no microwave for reheating leftovers and my (admitted) laziness hating to hand wash dishes, but I digress. I imagine most guests will be eating the majority of their meals out during their stay. On that note, I really MUST recommend the Tesuque Village Market!! It’s been a long time family favorite and such quick and easy access from the casita!! Thank you again for the wonderful accommodations! I look forward to returning regularly when I need a staycation and more me time!! ❤️
