When the loudest "noise" for 5 days is the sound of the wings of Hummingbirds, you know you are in for a fabulously relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of reality. We stayed for 5 nights from 9/4 to 9/9 at Vista de Lago. My husband was still on the mend from a knee replacement so we really didn't venture out but that was just fine... as other reviewers stated - get your groceries, settle in and enjoy! The view is spectacular, the place is so very comfortable, you have no other option but to relax. A few things for fellow travelers - when we went, there were 2 couches - which was a blessing since we were really just chilling and watching movies much of the times - the pictures only show 1 couch. Also, we flew into Albuquerque and it sounded to me like I could pick from any number of grocery stores in Santa Fe -- I expected Santa Fe to be much bigger - and perhaps it is but the road we came through didn't yield any obvious grocery stores. We actually went through town and had to circle back and ask - so if you are planning on food shopping in Santa Fe - make sure you know where you are going!! They are the only tips I can offer (aside from when you are looking out from the house, the gate you see to the right is NOT the one you want - yes we got a little lost but we were so, so very happy when we found our way back to the blue markers - just follow those - thank you Larry - much needed) just enjoy the view, enjoy our company and rest, relax and rejuvenate! Hope to return again someday!
