    • We could not have been happier with this rental! This casita has the period details and architectural flavor Santa Fe is known for but at the same time has all the comforts of an upscale hotel (but with privacy!). The high beamed ceilings give the casita a very open and roomy feel. The owner has thoughtfully considered her guest’s every comfort and provides many nice touches and extras. The casita is colorfully and beautifully decorated; and all the furniture and linens are very comfortable. We enjoyed the using both the patio and the kiva fireplace. Stay as long as you possibly can!

    • OK, the real delima here is not what to write about the Casita, but whether I should write anything at all. Why, might you ask? Well, the answer is simple...this place is a GEM and I don't want the secret to spread too far! Alright, it's a bit selfish of me, so of course I'll comment on my experience, but you should realize how special this place is and you will want to keep it to yourself as well!! If you are looking for the quintessential, Santa Fe experience, then look no further. This lovely adobe style casita will charm you from the moment you set foot inside. And for the record, the photos here, while nice, do not do the place justice. This home has been written up in magazines showcasing both the history and the painstaking remodel. What resulted is a getaway that will leave memories for a long time to come. The list is endless... rich adobe textures, warm south western colors, deep love seats, traditional kiva fireplace, magical patio setting and on and on. From the moment you wake up (incredible mattress in the master!) to the time you relax by the fire or enjoy the stars with a nightcap on the patio you feel like you are HOME! Each night, we would leave the bedroom door open to the patio (great screen doors) and fall asleep to the trickling lilly fountain...so zen like you couldn't help but forget about the everyday hustle and bustle. Linda, her husband and her mother are the nicest people you will meet!! Linda is such a gracious and welcoming host you will instantly feel the warm Santa Fe spirit embracing you. The little touches went such a long way! Bottle of wine, bed side chocolates, organic eggs, delicious bread from Whole Foods, organic coffee beans etc. Walking in to the soothing sound of classic jazz was not only the perfect, but that channel became our go to throughout the stay. It set the tone for our stay as the TV never came on. Lastly, don't let any maps fool you (I thought Santa Fe was bigger than it is)... the location of the casita is phenomenal! We had our bikes, but you can EASILY walk to the Plaza, Rail Yard district and Canyon Rd. Linda, thank you so very much... we will DEFINITELY be back!! Short list of things to do, see and eat... * Chocolate Mavin * El Farol * Pasquales * The Tea House * Agua Santa (AMAZING) * Farmer's Market * Bike/hike at Dale Ball Park * O'Keefe Museum * Canyon Rd Galleries * Marty Sanchez golf course * 10,000 Waves (get a private tub!) * Great Spanish/Latin import shop on Corner of San Francisco & N Guadeloupe * Great rug shop in the Plaza (very gracious Lebanese owner - sit and chat with him!).

    • Casa Colores is a heavenly retreat with all the comforts of a five star resort. My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights in early June and we did not want to leave. Entering the Casa was like leaving the hectic world behind. What more can I say about this beautiful retreat? I am a perfectionist and this place exceeded my expectations. Perfection is the only word that I can use to describe this casa. Soft french sheets, gorgeous serene patio, music playing and wine with fresh fruit. What more could we ask for? This exceeds any hotel I have ever stayed at in Santa Fe. Do NOT hesitate to book this place.

    • Dear Linda, Thank you so much for the lovely room! Casa Colores is beautiful, clean and absolutely perfect for a relaxing weekend. The outside garden is amazing and extremely relaxing. The location is perfect for walking to the plaza for dinner. We can not wait to return. Thanks again, Jennifer

    • Linda: We wanted to send you a note to tell you how much we enjoyed staying at Casa Colores for the week. It was the perfect retreat after a day of exploring Santa Fe, or a day trip to Bandelier or beyond to Taos. The kitchen had everything we needed and a warm fire in the evening was great for relaxing. We would definitely recommend your cottage to friends headed to Santa Fe!

    • Dear Linda, We loved staying at your place from December 20-24,2008!! I can't imagine a better greeting than the soft music playing, the lights on, and all waiting for us at the casita when we arrived late late late on 12/20. What a great continuation of a relationship that promised to be spectacular from the first time I connected with you via email and website. I am so sorry that we didn't invite you in to lounge with us that morning you called and wanted to meet us but we were in our PJs and declined--in hindsight, we should have leapt at the opportunity to meet you and thank you in person. But unfortunately hindsight is clearer than "in the moment" sight, and we didn't. I am so sorry now that we didn't take advantage of your on-site and in-person hospitality and thus missed the chance to meet you. We loved loved loved your place! It was beautifully decorated, every piece of the furniture was comfortable, it was exquisitely equipped, and there were signs of special touches and thoughtfulness absolutely everywhere! I loved greeting the person who shovelled our driveway and sidewalk, since it was such an over-the-top and pleasant service. By the time the shovelling was needed, I should have known that such thoughtful service was simply "standard fare" in your book--such touches were clear throughout our stay. But they were still astounding and very much appreciated. Happy 2009 to you and (belated but not insincere by any stretch of the imagination) THANKS!!!! Tracey and Aaron P.S. Particularly loved the Linda + Tim imprint in the driveway cement--how utterly charming!!!!!!!!"

    • This is the loveliest casita in which we have stayed in the Southwest. It is immaculate and beautifully decorated. The beds/linens are wonderful. Linda's hospitality is thoughtful without being overbearing. We will definitely stay here again!

    • We stayed at Casa Colores with our 22-year-old daughter in May, 2008. We simply can't say enough good things about the experience here. The location -- a short walk from The Plaza -- was perfect. The home itself is lovely, relaxing, immaculate, and beautifully appointed, with extremely comfortable beds. The patio was wonderfully relaxing. It was the nicest vacation rental we've ever had -- by FAR! And Linda -- who had music playing, wine waiting, butter and eggs in the fridge, and chocolates on our bed stand when we arrived -- could not possibly have made us feel more at home. There's no question but that we would want to stay at Casa Colores again... and again. Thank you, Linda!

    • Our family stayed here in April and thoroughly enjoyed it. The owner was so thoughtful and friendly; she even mailed pajamas back home to us when my husband left them behind. The living room area is somewhat small but the bedrooms and bath are spacious. The garden is charming and the fireplace cozy on a chilly night. We truly felt at home. Highly recommended.

    • As stated in earlier posts, this is a marvelous 2br casita(?) within minutes of the Plaza. This is a home we would live in, untouched! A great bed to fall into after a full day of romping around. We elected to cook our dinners in a small but wonderfully appointed kitchen. Perfect for 4 people. The home, and it is a home, has a Washer/Dryer combo that made it a breeze to clean up after a relaxing day of rafting or a hard night at the opera (8 minutes away!). Terrific colors and a visual treat. This is our new Santa Fe home away from home.
