We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely property. The owner provided very good information about the unit which was very clean and comfortable. It is charmingly decorated, has two separate outdoor seating areas, large bedrooms and baths and a very comfortable living area. The owner also provided very helpful suggestions about restaurants, hikes, attractions etc. in Tesuque and Santa Fe. We would certainly recommend this property to anyone visiting Santa Fe/Tesuque.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casita Milago in Pueblo Encantado. The Tesuque location was scenic and convenient to all of our day trips. We enjoyed hiking in the nearby hills, as well as at various parks throughout the area. We especially enjoyed Bandelier National Monument and the hike in Frijoles Canyon to Alcove House. The 140 steps up ladders to the ceremonial cave are challenging, but so worthwhile. The girls had an exceptional day horseback riding with Broken Saddle Riding in Cerrillos (out near Madrid, another great place to stop). As for the condo, we were very pleased with all of the amenities. We had wonderful weather so we made frequent use of the comfy patio furniture and table. It was nice to be able to chill in the evening with a good book (from the owners' shelf) or a little mindless television. We found the kitchen to be well- stocked for our cooking needs, the appliances up to date, the Wi-Fi reliable and the bedrooms clean and comfy. It was all good. All four of us decided we would definitely rent here again if/when we return to Santa Fe. Favorite restaurant: Gabriel's (get the guacamole made tableside). Go across the street to Encantado for a sunset dinner or cocktail (if you must) but we found numerous other dinner choices we preferred (and at rates much friendlier to the pocketbook). All in all, it was an excellent adventure. Thank you Meredith & Co.

We loved staying at Pueblo Encantado! The villa was clean and spacious. It is close enough to Santa Fe to enjoy the restaurants and other amenities yet far enough away to really relax. We hope to go back next summer!

We recently returned from a week at Pueblo Encantado for our family's spring break vacation. The place was perfect for our family of 5...comfortable and spacious and located close to all the things we wanted to experience in Santa Fe while we were there. The home was well appointed and included everything (and more) that you need to feel that you are "home" when you are away from home. Our hosts were great and provided a wealth of information that helped us make our vacation a truly extraordinarly experience. I am looking forward to returning with my husband for a couples weekend sometime soon!

Hola Meredith, Just wanted to say thank you for the use of your beautiful NM home. We loved being in Pueblo Encantado and the Tesuque area. As many times as I've visited Santa Fe, I always seem to see something new and definitely interesting! We enjoyed the chiminea on the patio, your selection of CDs, the kitchen (we cooked breakfast daily), your literature of area attractions and most of all...coming "home" to cozy beds and the ambience of your lovely casita in the hills. Gracias, Jeanne Martinez

Very comfortably furnished. Relaxing... sleeping... eating all just as great as at home. Gorgeous views! Great setting for getting "the feel" of northern New Mexico. Very accommodating owners ... a pleasure to rent from. Would gladly stay again! Loved the couples dinner at Bishop's Lodge

Meredith and Lee, We've just returned from our stay at Casita Milagro, and we must say bravo on your accommodations! We wanted for nothing in creature comforts. Your furnishings were most complete, and the physical setting of Pueblo Encantado is stunning. The location worked well for our exploration of north central NM. We regret to inform you of our lapse in turning off the coffee maker one day, which led to a crack in the glass carafe. We have located one via the Internet, however, and will have it shipped to the Pueblo Encantado address tonight. The supplier promises 3 day delivery. Please advise if you prefer another arrangement. Thanks for helping make our vacation memorable! John and Mary K.

This was a beautiful, cozy, friendly condominium, looks even better "live" than on the pictures. We loved the large panorama windows and the sky lights. The location was perfect, a 15 min. drive from Santa Fe. Quiet, spectacular surroundings and sunsets and close to more attractions than you can imagine. My husband and I could not have had a better vacation. Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful home!

FAMILY VACATION

Casita Milagro was the perfect place to spend our vacation. Since we have a grown son and daughter the two bedrooms plus sleeper sofa allowed everyone their own space. The villa was pleasant and quiet. A few nights we ate in and the kitchen allowed us to make a quick and delicious meal after a long day of sightseeing. We never traveled more than an hour's drive to explore what Santa Fe had to offer. The owners were helpful in every sense in suggesting things to do and places to eat. Definitely would recommend this Casita to anyone looking to explore Santa Fe.

Had an awesome time in your unit. The property was very clean and updated and the pool was fantastic. Kithcen had all the amenities including many staples like flour, oil, etc. Each morning we watched the sun come up drinking coffee on the patio. Sunsets were spectacular and the chiminea was a nice touch. Can't wait to come back!

An Enchanting Family Retreat

Date of Stay: 07/13/09 Review Submitted: 08/13/09

If you and your family would like to experience Santa Fe without the hassle and chaos of being right in town, the Casita Milagro is your perfect get-away. The condo is private, spacious, well-appointed, and very quiet. Perhaps its strongest characteristic, however, is the vacation home's location; only minutes from downtown Santa Fe, the condo is located in beautiful Tesuque, surrounded by the oranges and cool ambers of the Santa Fe foothills. Once on the property, you will feel completely at home; the condos of the Pueblo Encantado development quietly and seamlessly blend into their surroundings. The owner's association pays close attention to the grounds and the upkeep is impeccable, especially in the area of the amazing pool. For hours at a time, my family and I have often been the only ones enjoying what I can only call the nicest outdoor pool we have ever experienced. The clean, unadorned adobe exterior of Casita Milagro with its simple symmetry is classic New Mexico. The unique three-level home with master suite, spacious living room and large additional bedroom, separate dining area, two full-baths with skylights, and delightful clerestory windows above the well-appointed kitchen is a joy to return to after a full day of shopping or sight-seeing. You and your family will feel you've come home. Obviously, I and my family plan to come back again and again to this relaxing retreat. You and yours will love it as well!

Dear Meredith: The house was absolutely fantastic. It is well appointed, with all sorts of extras in the kitchen that are a rarity in vacation rental properties. The style and decorative appointments are beautiful. The overall development is beautiful, as is the area. When we return to Santa Fe , you'll be first on our list when we go to find a place to stay. It was really great, and I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks again, Richard and Jody

We had a wonderful stay at Casita Milagro for a week in July 2008. The unit and property were just as described on Home Away. We never rented private party over the internet, and Meredith was helpful over the telephone and via email. We loved the unit and the location. It is secluded and picturesque, yet close enough to town to enjoy Santa Fe often. Morning and evening walks around the property are beautiful, as there is a wonderful view over the hills. We especially enjoyed being so close to the Opera and also visiting the Shidoni Foundry in Tesuque. A visit to Santa Fe would not be complete for us without a drive to Rancho de Chimayo for lunch or dinner too! Our daughter loved the pool, which is steps away from the unit. We were often the only ones at the pool, and it was always very clean and inviting. We can't wait to visit Casita Milagro again!
