We loved our stay at the casita! Great, quiet location in Tesuque Village (close to Santa Fe) with fantastic hiking just down the road! The casita was impeccably clean and we loved that the owner uses eco-friendly cleaning products. Melissa was a fantastic host and we appreciated her attention to detail and all of the local goodies she provided!

Everything was perfect, will stay again every time we visit Santa Fe. Quiet setting just far enough away from the bustle and traffic of Santa Fe. I cannot think of any aspect that would need changing.

We really enjoyed our stay and it fit our needs perfectly. Due to mobility and dietary issues we mostly cook en casa, so it was great to have a well stocked kitchen. The neighborhood is quiet and out of the way but downtown SF (and the SF Opera!) is only a short drive away. A great way to enjoy the beautiful Santa Fe summertime. Thanks Melissa and Cindy!

Another wonderful stay

This will be the second time staying in this lovely casita. Perfect location for hiking and access to the ski mountain. Quiet area near town. Our dogs love it too! Super easy check in too. I’m sure I’ll have even more to rave about next time we stay here!

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!

This one bedroom casita has a fenced in yard for privacy. This is the perfect size for a couple. My wife and I enjoyed the proximity to downtown Santa Fe (just a few minutes drive) and the nearby hiking trail in a National Forest :)

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 ☺️

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.

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.

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.
