We couldn't have found a better home and location for our four week stay. Where butterflies do fly!

Santa Fe is one of the most unique towns in the US. Museums, gallery's (with excellent artists), restaurants, shopping and of course the friendly atmosphere. But, there is this and so much more when you can live in an adobe home just outside of town in one of the nations largest sustainable communities. Nina and Tom's home is sited on 1 1/2 acres of naturally landscaped property where your neighbors are just far enough away you think you are on a ranch. One of the most wonderful aspects of this home is that there are two walled patios (north and south) heavily landscaped with native flowering vegetation - ie.. "Where the Butterflies Fly". After a day of sightseeing, this is where we would relax. Additionally, as each day began and ended the skies were drop dead gorgeous. The both of us have traveled to many parts of the world and neither of us have ever been exposed to the beauty and drama of the central New Mexico sky. Sunrise and sunset - everyday. Magic! The home itself lived up to the advertisement: from location, spaces and amenities to appliances, furnishings, and tableware. All bed and bath necessities were provided and there was plenty of closet and storage space for our personal items. Nina and Tom contacted us several times to see if we needed anything and to let us know they were available. The social spaces such as the living room, kitchen/dining etc.. were functional and very comfortable. Loved the garage with automatic door opener - nice touch. Skylights brought natural light into internal spaces complimenting those spaces with windows. So there's an abundance of interior natural light. A notebook is provided outlining many of the businesses and activities available close-by including restaurants, shopping, hiking, grocery shopping and other services. Nina and Tom have their favorites (especially restaurants). Take advantage of this - we did. We highly recommend "Where the Butterflies Fly"!

Southwestern Style

Our family stayed at this property for a spring break vacation. The rooms were nice and the kitchen had everything I needed. The little bit of coffee in the fridge was a life saver in the morning after our late night arrival. The house was decorated in a southwestern style, which was appreciated and added to our enjoyment of the property. It was also great to be able to park in the garage. We definitely utilized the binder full of information about the area and the bowl containing brochures for nearby attractions. We loved hiking in a state park that was down the road from the property. We enjoyed the use of the fireplace during our stay as well. There were some drawbacks, however. The home is in a subdivision. That was not clear to me from the pictures. We found the bed in the master bedroom to be uncomfortable. Also, the owners were not responsive. When booking the property, I asked for tips for locating it in the middle of the night. No response to that. I attempted to contact them a couple times during our stay. First, the smoke detector having a low battery in the middle of the night woke up the entire family. Also, I asked a question about recycling, just trying to do the right thing. No response there either. Perhaps I was supposed to contact a property manager?

Beautiful home and grounds beautifully maintained

This home is exactly what one hopes for when renting short term. It is spacious, well furnished, wonderful kitchen, beautifully kept, wonderful yards with lovely flowers. The owners care for their home and their guests.

Better than expected

Tom's arrival email gave us all the last minute information we needed for an outstanding visit. The house was more impressive in person, than the pictures do it justice. Every room is tastefully decorated in southwest decor, with a genuine "home" feeling. Off the beaten path, yet close enough to downtown Santa Fe for spur of the moment shopping or sightseeing. The weather cut short some of our sightseeing plans, so we will return; and Tom and Nina's home will be our absolute first choice for a place to stay. Thank you for making your little slice of heaven available.

About the host

Your host

Nina and Tom are 50+ "newlyweds" who met in Austin, Texas, while separately plotting an escape to northern New Mexico. Tom is a Learning and Development Executive, while Nina is a Health Counselor and Yoga Instructor. Their forces combined, they are on a spiritual path to the Santa Fe area where they will relocate in 2017.

Why they chose this property

We searched northern New Mexico for years looking for just the right home. We finally settled on Eldorado and considered 30-40 houses before finding the one that spoke to both of us--this one. It has all the features we value: adobe construction, radiant heat, brick floors, a wood-burning kiva, a dream kitchen, passive solar, a whole wall of windows, and big courtyards in both front and back from which we can enjoy New Mexico's big skies and gorgeous mountain views.

What makes this property unique

Eldorado is just 10 minutes from Santa Fe proper and all its attractions, but it is a world apart. We love its openness and tranquility. It has most everything you need but is also close enough for easy access to Santa Fe's best museums and restaurants, etc. This house will be available for rental only until July of 2017, so come enjoy a little piece of Heaven while you can. We offer a 10% discount for returning renters!
