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.

Beautiful Casita Close to Santa Fe Plaza and the Railyard
My family and I (including our two dogs) just finished a lovely three-night stay at the Desert Sky casita. Everything was terrific and we recommend it highly. Pre-arrival communications from the host, Susan, were timely and very helpful, and she was responsive, accommodating, and charming throughout our stay. She made all of us and our dogs feel most welcome. Check-in was extremely smooth and easy. And the casita is wonderful: beautifully decorated and furnished, with a nice small enclosed courtyard for our exclusive use. We loved the heated floors in the bedrooms and bathroom -- so comfortable in the winter cold. The casita is just across the street from the Santa Fe river and its paths, so dog walks or family walks to the Plaza area were quick, easy, and beautiful. Overall it was the perfect place for a perfect stay. We will definitely come back again and give it (and Susan) our highest recommendation.

Beautiful small house, friendly, helpful hosts
My wife, adult daughter and I stayed at Desert Sky for a long weekend at the end of April. It snowed several inches! This is a small but very functional and charming house with two bedrooms, two nice beds, a well-equipped kitchen, a shared bathroom, and a living room, It is beautifully decorated (in part with the artwork of one of the owners, whose home and studio is adjacent) and very clean. The house is shielded from the road by the owner's house and a small courtyard, so, it is pretty quiet and private. The house is very conveniently located within walking distance of the old town and is a two or three minute drive from Canyon road with it's huge concentration of art galleries. The owners greeted us on our arrival and were helpful and friendly throughout. Next time we visit Santa Fe, we'll check here first.
