This is one of, if not the nicest, places we have stayed. It’s perfect for two adults. It’s gorgeous and it’s easy to see that the host is an artist with great taste. It’s a quick 10 minute walk to downtown and perfect location as we were there for the Indian Market. We met the hosts who were sweet as can be, and they left sample of chocolate, lotions as well as tortilla chips and salsa. The location is in the back of the property, so was very quiet and the property is located across from a park. I’ve stayed at places which have been described as clean, but Dos Casitas actually was clean, I think the cleanest place I’ve stayed at. There is a washer/dryer and detergent there, a kitchen, a living room with cable TV, WiFi. It was beyond perfect for our short stay.

Nice property

Cozy but big enough for two. Walking distance to Railyard and nice walking path along the river. Living area chairs are pretty but not comfortable. Parking requires you to back out onto a busy street with limited visibility. WiFi didn’t work day we departed. Overall enjoyed it.

Great Little Spot in Santa Fe

We (3 adults) stayed here for a few nights for my mom's birthday trip. Although the couch is not sleepable, we doubled up in one bed and found the place to be very comfortable. Its a sweet little ADU behind the residence, close enough to the plaza that we could have walked, with almost no street noise and off street parking. Check in and out was straightforward and the property manger was communicative and helpful with anything we needed. We'd definitely stay again.

The property was perfect for our needs! Beautifully appointed, quiet, and within walking distance of the Plaza in Santa Fe. Hosts are lovely people, who provided very thoughtful welcome gifts and made themselves available for any questions or concerns (of which there were none!) Definitely a wonderful place to stay!

Cute casita

Original plan was 3 adults but thank goodness only 2 stayed. Listing states air conditioning and I called managers to ask if it was central air. I was told it was but arrived to find one window unit that worked properly. Other bedrooms AC was located in a laundry closet. The floor heater was on without any information about it making the entire house heated in late June! We requested fan but it came late the next day. Owners of property were out of town but very apologetic when they returned. Managing company was useless.

Perfect stay

The Desert Sky retreat is a beautifully appointed house decorated in an authentic and artistic Santa Fe style. It is quiet, comfortable and very clean, with a small charming outdoor patio off the well stocked kitchen. The hosts even provided a welcome package of local Santa Fe coffee, snacks and a bottle of wine. The house is in a perfect location. A grassy river walk is just across the street, perfect for walking our dog. Several great restaurants are within walking distance and the Santa Fe plaza is just a .6-mile walk away. We truly enjoyed our stay and will stay again.
