We had four couples get together here for a very special long weekend. The house exceeded our expectations and we saw no reason to go out for dinner, lunch or anything else. The description for this property understates just how well it is prepared to provide a perfect getaway. No kidding, everything but food and drink is in this home. The photos are absolutely on target and reflect just how pristine this property is maintained. I found the owner to be very easy to work with and everything promised was delivered on time or sooner. The village market is great if you want to leave the grounds but there is really no reason to. Just get all the groceries and refreshments you want in town on your way here then stay and enjoy your time with friends and family. We will stay here again.

My husband and I headed to Santa Fe for a much needed getaway. The fact that it was Valentine's weekend was icing on the cake. The fact that we stayed in this fabulous home was over the top. The owners of this home have thought of everything. You can tell they take enormous pride in making this a wonderful home away from home for those who visit. This was our first visit to Santa Fe. However, it is certainly not the last. We are already planning to return next year and bring my sister and her husband. I cannot think of one thing that I would change about this home. The pictures are spot on. In fact, being there in person is so much better than the pictures. You could literally arrive with your clothes and toothbrush and not miss a thing. Everything is there that you could need. The decks, patio and hot tub are wonderful for viewing the spectaular location of this home. The proximity to the plaza, shopping and great restaurants is perfect. However, after sitting for a while and enjoying the property, you may find yourself not wanting to leave. That is fine as there is a kitchen fully stocked with every knife, pot and pan, dinner and glassware you could possibly need. As a couple who LOVE dining out, I had made reservations ahead of time for each evening we were to be in Santa Fe. Needless to say we ended up canceling two out of the four dinners we had planned out. The fireplace in the main living room makes for an enticing romantic evening. We did dine at a few wonderful places: Cafe Pasquals, Restaurant Martin, Tesuque Village Market and a few others for lunch, including the Cowgirl Cafe for great burgers and live music. Cafe Pasquals is an absolute must. We dined there our first evening, and it was so delicious we returned the next day for lunch. Restaurant Martin was just right on the money, as it was one of those places that just gets everything right. Tesuque Village Market, hmmmmmm, what to say. Well, do not judge a book by its cover. This little gem turned out to be fabulous. They serve the best breakfast. We ate there every morning it was so good. They also have a brick oven for terrific pizzas. The pizza won out for one of our dinners in. A good bottle of wine, pizza and the fireplace equals perfection. Once again, there are not enough good things to say about this place. We are so grateful to have experienced this home and look forward to our return. Cheers to the owners!

This is a long overdue review for our amazing stay at Casa del Sol in Santa Fe over New Years 2011! I am now researching another trip in a different part of the world and as I realize how much I am relying on travelers' reviews I wanted to be sure to let potential Santa Fe tourists know what a wonderful experience we had staying in this Santa Fe home! We are a family of seven, a mom and dad type and 5 adult age children including one married daughter with her husband. The home was perfectly suited for the seven of us. It could not have been better. My husband and I are now thinking about building our own home and we often refer to the floorplan of the Santa Fe home as it was a perfect combination of privacy and together time. We happened to be there during one of the coldest winters ever and even found ourselves snowed in so we spent much more time indoors than we expected!! So how thankful we were to be together in this beautiful home! We played board games in front of the fire, enjoyed the morning with the birds at the kitchen window, loved the views, had snowball fights in the front yard, walked to Bishops Lodge and when we could traverse the ice we ventured out into town! The home is perfectly appointed and we all loved the kitchen! It is truly amazing. I can't think of anything that was lacking. We especially loved the spacious and open area off the kitchen. I can remember sitting on the very comfortable leather sofa playing a board game with my son, daughter and son-in-law and glancing over to the dining room table to see my oldest son and husband hunkered down on their computers and my daughter doing the same at the breakfast table adjoining the den. (Great access to internet by the way!) Even though we were all doing different things we were still together in the same room! It's a magical home and one that we would recommend without reservation! We can't wait to go back!

The house was picturesque…. We sat out in the hot tub under the stars as big snowflakes fell. Both the owner and the caretaker were very helpful and responded quickly. The location is great. We ate at the Tesuque Village Market Café about 5min away multiple times. We would for sure stay here again. There were 6 people in our party and there was plenty of room.

This was a great place to relax and reconnect with our grown children. The house was wonderfully situated; close enough to Santa Fe, but away from the hustle and bustle. It was very well stocked and comfortable with beautiful views of the sunset and valley. We hope to come again.

Just home from your wonderful home in Santa Fe. We absolutely loved it. It was even more beautiful and spacious than we expected, and it was perfect for our family. Every little detail was so well thought out, the amenities, the layout, the furnishings, even the selection of music. We really loved the area of Bishops Lodge Road and Tesuquee, which gave a local feel and a nice respite from the bustle of town. It is a very special place and I think we will surely visit again sometime. Thank you for being a part of celebrating our matriarch's 70th birthday, a memory we will never forget!

We rentend this beautiful home to host our wedding. It was absolutely fabulous! The patio out front with spectacular views was the perfect setting and the house had everything we needed for a catered affair. The house was large enough for our guests to be comfortable and the owners were wonderful to us. I would sincerely recommend this rental to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful wedding experience!

We just got back from a 4 day weekend at this house celebrating my fathers 80th birthday. We really enjoyed both the house and the area. The house is very well equiped with everything that we needed and had an excellent kitchen/dining/great room area. It even had a printer that we used for boarding passes before heading back. Excellent location just north of town.

This is a stunning house made all the more beautiful by the incredibly warm welcome the owners extend to each guest. Our family had a great time and we are already planning next year's visit. Thanks Holly & Will.

We had a great week with three other couples in this lovely home. It is well equipped and "friendly" to its guests. We enjoyed the area and easily filled a week with activities in Santa Fe. We plan to return.

Six friends and I stayed here over Labor Day weekend. We were all astounded not only by the beauty of Santa Fe but by the house as well. It is spacious and comfortable, fully stocked with everything you might need. The owners are friendly and accomodating. We all hope to come back soon, maybe even make it an annual trip!

We rented this house along with our family for Thanksgiving last year. We were so pleased with the home and the amenities that the owner provided. The furnishings are elegant and beautiful, even better than the pictures on the website. We also appreciated the fact that the owners had every type of gourmet cooking item available! We are gourmet cooks ourselves and were so pleased to find the vast array of cooking amenities. In addition, it was wonderful to have all the high quality dishes and glasses available. We loved dipping into the hot tub and never felt crowded even though it was 4 couples and a baby. In fact, my son had a hey day playing with the rocks outside. We hope we can return someday soon.
