Why the Owner Chose EldoradoThis was our home and we're now looking to share it with others.
The Unique Benefits at this HouseThe beauty of the surrounding landscape and 360 degree views are spectacular. The house has sunrise and sunset views and the skies are gorgeous nearly every day. The wilderness areas nearby have great hiking - and the herd of elk in the BLM land is a great treat. The silence and stillness is compelling and very impacting.

Awesome Santa Fe Home

Review Submitted: 05/22/12
We came to Santa Fe to run the Jemez Half marathon in Los Alamos. We knew that we would want a comfortable home to recuperate in. This house was it and more. It was incredibly clean, wonderfully decorated and homey. The area and property were very peaceful. We could not have asked for anything more. Michael was a great host and available to answer any questions that we had. Anyone lucky enought to stay in this home is sure to have a great experience! Thank you so much!

Beautiful,Restful Vacation

My husband and I fell in love with the southwest when we took a long vacation in Arizona.This year we wanted to explore the Santa Fe area. When traveling, we like to select a place to come back to after a long day of exploring that is quiet with a little luxury and beautiful views. Michael and Alexandra's place in Eldorado was perfect and fit the kind of place we like. In the mornings and evenings the views of the mountains and the desert landscape were breathtaking. The house itself is so clean and spacious I wish we had stayed two weeks instead of one.The house is even nicer than the photos The ride into Santa Fe was about 20 min but a very easy drive.Try a margarita at the La Fonda Hotel Tower and walk to dinner at Pasqual's. Loved eating at Bobcat Bites and Harry's Roadhouse that are nearby. Grocery store is very close too. We definitely recommend it. Owners are very helpful. We travel a lot and have stayed in some nice places but this house and location is among our most memorable. I am an honest evaluator and don't use superlatives unless they are deserved.

Texans family Christmas

This beautiful home far exceeded our expectations and couldn't be more beautifully appointed. Every amenity and every detail were well thought out and available for us. It was a truly awesome week spent with family members - those who wanted to hit the slopes, those who wanted to shop the Plaza in Santa Fe and those who wanted to just chill and take in the spectacular scenery.

Wonderful home with alot of space. Large windows with great views of mountains and sunsets. The large patio provides alot of space for family activities. Everything was there for cooking and meal preparation. The large round lazy susan dining table seats 10. Great beds and comfortable furniture. 15 minute drive to Santa Fe. Make sure you get a burger at Bobcat Bites down the road. Supermarket, gas and other shopping close to this home. If we have another family get together in Santa Fe this will be the place that we will stay. The owner is very helpful and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Great bottle of wine and note were present on arrival.

El Dorado Weekend

Five of our family spent a long weekend in this lovely home. It was larger and more up-scale than we expected. It was very well furnished and equipped. The views are sensational. The owner was very hospitable, a good communicator, and followed up to be sure all was going well. The cost was an excellent value. If the opportunity presents itself, we would certainly rent this place again.

October in Santa Fe
Guest: Cheryl S.
Date of Stay: 10/08/11
Review Submitted: 10/16/11
Our stay at this home was a great, relaxing retreat for our whole family. My husband and myself, our two married children, and our small grandchildren spent a lovely four days there in early October. We had been to Santa Fe many times, but never stayed in a house before, which is now necessary because of size. 9We did take an air mattress for the 5 year old and a pack and play for the baby). The property was just as pictured, with plenty of room inside and out to spread out in. We loved to back yard area with the patio, lots of seating, and the fireplace to enjoy in the cool evenings. Lots of paths to explore and rocks to climb for the little ones. We cooked several meals, and found everything we needed, including basic condiments, lots of cookware and serving bowls, and a lovely dining table to seat all 8 of us comfortably (the kids loved the lazy susan in the middle). Beds were comfy and lots of towels available for all. We would highly recommend this home, and the owners were very forthcoming with suggestions for activities. Michael was in touch several times during the rental process and after we arrived to ask if things were going well. I'm sure we'll be back for more of the hospitality. For those buying groceries to cook, there is a well stocked small store in the nearby shopping center, and further away on Saint Francis, a Trader Joe's, Albertson's, and Whole Foods. Also, we were able to eat at some of our favorite restaurants, the Shed and Rancho de Chimayo (a bit of a drive, but well worth it with great scenery north of Santa Fe). We missed Tia Sofia's off the plaza this time, but will get there next trip. All in all, everything exceeded our expectations!

Santa Fe (Eldorado) Haven

Five of us long-time friends stayed in this wonderful house for a week. Nothing but positive comments from everyone. Pictures don't do this lovely adobe home justice. There was more than enough space to allow comfortable breathing room for all. It felt more like we were house sitting than occupying a rental. The personal touches added to the feeling of warmth and comfort. What a treat to have stacked wood for the Kiva available. Perfect to take the edge off a bit of October chill. Thoroughly enjoyed the welcoming greeting and bottle of wine to start the week. As previously mentioned by former guests, the distance to the Santa Fe area points of interest was a non-issue. Just far enough to escape the hustle and bustle of tourism, but close enough to quickly access anything you might need. We would not hesitate to recommend these accommodations to anyone. Thank you, Michael, for sharing your home.

My mother, aunt, cousin and I enjoyed our week at Michael and Xandra's home tremendously. The listing was accurate, the place was immaculate, the homeowners most helpful. We watched the sunset every night, then had dinner and went back out to look at the stars. Eldorado is close enough to Santa Fe to be very convenient--we enjoyed the O'Keeffe Museum/Cafe and Project Tibet and La Casa Sena restaurant. Would definitely recommend the house to any group who needs multiple bedrooms and bathrooms.

Beautiful Santa Fe

We stayed for a week in July with a house full of family and the vacation was what I hoped for. The house is lovelier than the pictures. The Plaza in Santa Fe is 30 minutes away and I couldn't wait to get back to the house in the evening to watch the sunsets from the back patio. We used the well-stocked kitchen as there is a great food store 5 minutes away. Michael was very accommodating and I would definitely stay here again as well as recommending it to others. I miss the serenity already.

We spent the first week in July in this home, and it was beautiful, inside and out. The views of the mountains are spectacular. Away from it all, but just a short drive to the plaza, casinos, horsebackriding, etc. Michael was very helpful and easy to communicate with, and thank you, Michael, for returning my daughters' phone she left there. The only thing that would make it better would be air conditioning, it was a little warm in the evenings, but I would definetely stay there again.
