Great host, allowed last minute reservations. Very nice welcome basket! Clean and comfortable beds. We enjoyed seeing the sunrise in the kitchen on clear days. Great location for skiing vacation.

Super cute and fun
I stayed here with my significant other and our three children for a long weekend. The house was super cute and clean and very easy to check in and out of. It was in a quiet neighborhood so we didn't have to worry about sleeping through the night. The outside was amazing for the children to play and have a very great time. It's very close to Santa Fe Plaza, but far enough away to not worry about noise and just really have a relaxing time. I would highly recommend this rental for your next stay!

Not as nice as pictures suggest. Just average and in a fairly run down looking neighborhood with muddy streets full of potholes. Also no paper towels provided, and firewood provided was too big to fit into the wood stove so I had to go buy my own.

Great place to getaway from it all, yet close enough to run to town . A great getaway .
Great place to just getaway from it all. Perfect for families to enjoy the outdoors and the fresh air. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Quaint little house (two bed) house perfect to enjoy, relax and spend time with loved ones. Highly recommend... close enough to the city, yet far enough away.

Great authentic Santa Fe stay!
We loved this place and would definitely go again! The accommodations were spacious and had a very “Santa Fe” feel inside and out! Our kids loved the trampoline and zip line out back. The hot tub was fun and was heated when we arrived (we had trouble getting the temp up to a significant level after that though). We never saw our hosts, but did enjoy their welcome note. Things were a bit rickety and there were some strange things that looked like toenail clippings on one of the night stands, but other than that, we were very pleased with the experience. I would definitely recommend!

Neat little place
We all enjoyed our stay and the hosts were responsive. It is quite rustic but we liked that about the place. Reasonably equipped. Sadly there was no welcome basket as mentioned in the description or reviews but these things happen. It was not clear to me from the description that the hot tub is in the main house's courtyard but it is just adjacent to the guest house and was nice to use. No issue w cleanliness as mentioned by a previous review--we were comfortable and didn't notice anything concerning. We didn't feel the slatted door between kitchen and bathroom was an issue but if you have mental bathroom hang ups or are traveling w friends rather than family you might. The kids really loved the place.

Property description needs updating
The photos that are shown for this property are NOT current. The landscaping is over-grown and we were not able to walk beyond the walled courtyard. The area where the "childrens fort" was also overgrown and looked as if it might be falling down. We saw nothing that resembled the vegetable garden area. Only weeds and scrub brush surrounded the the property. The hot tub area was missing half the lights and the tub was full of leaf debris. There was alot of noise from the highway. The casita itself is in need of a DEEP cleaning. The shower had used soap (with hair) and the showerhead needs replacing. This the inside of the kitchen cabinets were dirty. I'm not sure about the previous good reviews for 2018 - but we saw a property in need of attention. We left after the 1st night and Jason did refund the remaining nights. We have stayed at quite a few VRBO properties and this is the only property that as not matched the descriptions or past reviews. I wish I could post our photos of the property.

Nice overall. Really needs a real bathroom door.
This place is charming, and the hot tub is a nice amenity. However, there is just a folding slotted wood gate between the kitchen and bathroom. So basically there is no sense of privacy in the bathroom. Fortunately we have a family full of boys, but even they complained about this. If I had understood about this, I'm not sure I would have stayed here for the price. Additionally, the pullout sofa bed is not functional or useful. We put the mattress on the floor and the kids argued about who had to sleep on it each night because it was not comfortable. Also, no dishwasher, kind of a drag on vacation... The grounds are great for kids though, lots of space to run around outside and no worry about making too much noise. Super cool cathead spider outside the kitchen window that comes alive and feasts on moths at night (don't hurt him!)! Nice hosts.

Wonderful guesthouse in Sunlit Hills, Santa Fe
My daughters, my mother-in-law and I had a fantastic stay at the Kirkman guesthouse. It’s a very sweet little adobe casita that we all found very comfortable. My girls also loved that they have a small picture book library. I highly recommend this rental if you’re traveling with children.

This was a great place to unwind after a day of hiking and sightseeing.
Jason was great and an excellent source of local info. The kids loved the hot tub and I appreciated a place that was authentic and not too fancy since it was our guys trip. It had everything we needed except the pullout sofa had broken springs. I’m not sure the TV worked but we didn’t need it anyway. Surprisingly quiet being attached to the main house and being so close to the interstate. We had a great time!

Great family getaway, cute and homey
This was a great place for our family: a room with twin beds, an outdoor area for them to explore, a cozy kitchen and living room area for eating and hanging out and, of course, the beautiful hot tub. The bathroom is central in the house and has doors leading in from both bathrooms and the kitchen, so it's not a very private room. This was okay for our family, but might be a bit weird depending on how much you value your bathroom privacy. The property has a very nice homey vibe. The hot tub is beautiful and sitting in it under the stars is magical. Great choice if you're looking for something away from the main drag that feels like a real home.

Unique traditional adobe guest home close to Santa Fe!
We were greeted with flowers, fresh herbs, fruit and vegetables when we arrived. The owner, Jason, was very helpful with recommendations specific to our interests! The view from the large kitchen windows and the front porch were fantastic. Loved the experience!

Wonderful stay, particularly for a family
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy adobe home. This was the perfect place for our family with two young children. After long days of touring Santa Fe, being able to come back and free free space to hike, play, and jump on the trampoline was a real gift for the kids! The home was so comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. The hosts, Jason and Angela, could not have been kinder or more accommodating. We particularly loved the gifts of fresh veggies and herbs and the beer tastings! I highly recommend this house, especially for young families looking for a home base in Santa Fe.

Beautiful quiet place, still close to town
It's a really beautiful gem, 15 mins from Santa Fe downtown, in a beautiful area right outside Santa Fe. The house is cosy and fits 4-5 ppl great.

Great stay at a funky little house
The house was very comfortable, just as advertised, and the owners were friendly and responsive. The layout of the house is a little quirky (all rooms open into the bathroom, basically), but we like quirky. Our family of 4 had plenty of space and no complaints. Hope we get to go back for a longer stay sometime.

Amazing hosts and very nice home
Our flight was canceled the same day of our arrival. Jason and Angela aloud us to move the days of our stay one day without any penalty. They even received us with fruit and beer! The house is confortable, well located and perfect for a small group!
