  Amenities of property were not as advertised. No wifi was available due to an unpaid bill. The cable boxes had been removed therefore no cable television. The dryer and trash compactor were not working. Our experience with the owners has not been pleasant. We initially dealt with one of the owner's sons who was removed from management of the property for unknown reasons. We then dealt with a second son who also became uninvolved with the property. My attempts to notify the owner about these issues have been unanswered. This property is poorly managed and clearly nobody seems to be in charge.

  House is beautifully sited on a hill overlooking Santa Fe--very private and totally indigenous to the native Santa Fe decor. Home is very comfortably and completely furnished; was clean and had all the conveniences one could want for a restful and relaxing stay.....provided you have a car/rental, as you fly into Albuquerque (+/- 1-hrs. drive); home is located 5-mins drive from Downtown Plaza. It's so much more charming than staying at a hotel....if you plan a week or more. VERY delightful!

  Very enjoyable stay. BBQ didn't work. Loved the decor and location. QUIET! Close to fine golf on the Santa Fe Trail. The Shed. Gabriels. and Tia Sophia's were great dining experiences. Golf Black Mesa - it is a challenge and enjoyable.

  Let me say that we had a wonderful time in Santa Fe and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Encantado! What a perfect location and property for the six of us. Since it was warm during our stay we spent a great deal of time on the patio, enjoying the landscape and peace and quiet. It’s amazing that you can be so close to town and seem so isolated. It is a jewel of a property and allowed all three couples to spread out within the large living space. Everyone loved the interior, everything from the beautiful furnishings to the plastered walls. All of the living and outdoor spaces were very clean and tidy. The kitchen is very nicely equipped with professional appliances and very convenient for patio entertaining. We were only a few miles from the opera and about the same distance to the town square. For many years we have been visiting Santa Fe and have previously stayed in hotels. Increasingly we have found them to be confining and noisy and if staying within the square parking was always an issue. The last 3 years we have rented homes in the local area and as our group has grown, we have needed larger homes. This property fit the bill perfectly and has also been the best property we have rented. We found the web description to be accurate in its description. It has already been requested that we return next year to the same location and extend our stay. I would recommend this property without reservation.

  This house is truly inviting, from its location to downtown and nearby golf courses, magnificent back yard with fireplace, cozy beds, to beaufiful art collections. We would highly recommend this house and would love to go back myself!

  We had 4 couples stay and this house and it was great. The feel of the house is so in tune with Santa Fe. I would highly recommend this property. The location is superior and the outdoor area very enjoyable.
