Why the Owner Chose Santa Fe
Years ago we hand-built a now somewhat-celebrated, environmental strawbale home in the Jemez Mountains above Santa Fe. Ten years ago we decided to purchase an in-town pied a'terre--just a small gem-of-a-place in which we could overnight during shopping trips in Santa Fe. Wanting to get the right place in the right location, we engaged in an eight month exhaustive search and ended up purchasing--not one--but two adobe homes in this historic neighborhood just 3 blocks from the Plaza. They became our first guest homes. Now, in addition to living in this same neighborhood, we manage 8 guesthomes in the same residential block. Why were we so seduced by this neighborhood? In short, it is partway up the ONLY knoll close to the Plaza. So from within any of our guesthomes, there is a constant sense of place: Our over-the-roof-top-views are of the historic Santa Fe Cathedral against a backdrop of mountain ranges and inspiring sunsets. AND WITHIN 4-5 WALKING MINUTES WE ARE DOWNTOWN--RIGHT IN THE VERY HEART OF OLD SANTA FE! Here the glories of historic Santa Fe and our Southwest landscape are bundled into one. Our fascinating guests keep coming back and are now friends. We'll never move!

Thank you for all that you did to make our vacation incredible! We loved our Linde adobe. It was our home away from home. Your attention to detail and your enthusiasm have made this very special for us. Thanks again!

We had a wonderful time at Casa Colores, Linde and Adore. Thanks for the extra dishes that came in handy on Thanksgiving Day. Russ, Theron mentioned your connection to Prince Phillip and it would have been nice to hear your recommendations for places to see in London. Thanks again for everything. We'll be sure and recommend your property to anyone interested in visiting Santa Fe!

Thanks for providing such a welcoming and comfortable "home away from home." Everything was perfect (!) for the six of us. We especially appreciated the opportunity to host our welcoming reception here in your courtyard! Our friends who "walked through" were impressed. You will most likely see some returnees in the future!

Just wanted to let you know what a fine time we had revisiting Santa Fe and staying in our delightful "casa." It was wonderfully appointed and made our brief stay most enjoyable. I have been telling friends about your guest homes. Thank you for showing us two of the other homes up the hill. Each one is unique and has its own personality.
