This casita was the perfect place to escape after a busy day exploring all that Santa Fe has to offer. Our toddler would sleep immediately in the sofa bed and we were able to have a moment to relax and recharge for the next day. Sylvi was a great host answering any questions we had. The location is great ! We will definitely be coming back.
Loved it! It was very quiet and loved the great view from the patio. Enjoyed listening to the birds and watching coyotes. Highly recommended! We will definitely go back.
Highly recommended. The home was clean and comfortable. Natural light flowing in every room and you even get a peekaboo ocean view. Close to everything.Communication was great and the entire experience was amazing!We would definitely return.
A friend and I were looking for somewhere to stay that allowed us to feel like we were close to Santa Fe, but not in the middle of the city - and this was a spectacular location! Sylvi and Harland were incredibly helpful and wonderful hosts. 100% recommend the spot for anyone who loves the outdoors, nature, beautiful views, and is looking for a peaceful landing spot while in the area! If I find myself in the Santa Fe area again, I would absolutely stay here again!
My week-long stay at the property wasn’t nearly long enough. The casita was cute, comfortable, and well-appointed with everything I needed during my stay. The landscape was tranquil and perfect for helping me achieve my trip goal of chilling out, distressing, and recharging. The hosts were amazing: available if I needed something (which I didn’t) but never intrusive. I’ll miss my mornings on the back patio, enjoying my coffee, listening to the birds sing, and watching the lizards scurry past, as well as my daily walks on the nearby paved walking paths. The property is about a half an hour from Santa Fe, making quick day trips a breeze. If you book a stay at the casita, you owe it to yourself to hike the Galisteo Basin trails (about 5 miles away); you’ll think you’re in heaven. Overall, it was an enchanting trip, and feeling so safe and comfortable at the Enchanted Sunset (and sunrise!) Casita was a big part of it.
The casita was perfect for my stay. Judt the right size for one person, cozy and comfortable.The hostess is wonderful and made sure i had everything i needed.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Enchanted Sunset Casita! It is beautiful inside and out with a lovely view across the New Mexico landscape - and some gorgeous sunsets! The hosts, Sylvi and Harland, take excellent care of the property and their guests. All of their preparations and our interactions were heart-warming examples of human friendliness, kindness and consideration. It's hard for us to imagine a more enjoyable and lovely place to stay! Thank you, Sylvi and Harland!
Wonderful host! I booked many months in advance, and I appreciate that Sylvi contacted me once in awhile leading up to our stay. This made me feel valued and took away some anxiety from our cross country drive. Such a quiet area that was perfect for our holiday getaway to enjoy the sunshine and birds of the mountains. Traveled with my spouse and 1 small dog. The casita was perfect for the 3 of us, and dog oriented so we didn't feel like our senior fur baby was a burden. We enjoyed having a fireplace for Christmas and it was fitting to the cozy atmosphere of the rest of the house. We will stay again!
The owners are so welcoming. We loved the location, close enough to conveniences while feeling away from crowds. The property has just the right amenities for a comfortable stay.
Enchanted Sunset Casita is super comfortable, super well appointed and is in a gorgeous, quiet location with great views of the mountains. We would give more stars if possible! Sylvie as a host gets high marks for communication and helpfulness. She has provided a warm and nurturing vacation home. Would stay there again in a minute!
Location and setting are perfect for a private getaway. Hosts are great people who made sure our stay was total comfort. Easy access to Santa Fe and all other points in northern New Mexico. Highly recommend, miss it already, will rent again next time we visit!
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this enchanted casita. The casita is immaculate, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything travelers need. The hosts are welcoming and attentive. I highly recommend this casita!
Me and my husband along with our miniature schnauzer puppy stayed for 4 nites and we enjoyed our time tremendously. Beautiful view from inside the casita and from the back porch which has a fenced area that is safe for small dogs. The property owners were extremely thoughtful and they left treats for our puppy and us that we found upon check-in. Casita had everything we needed and the bed was very comfortable. It also had a great bathroom with a roomy shower all decorated in Santa Fe style.
We spent 9 nights in this private, delightfully decorated, and completely equipped casita in the serene community of eldorado. An easy, short drive to downtown Santa Fe, we loved the peaceful location and availability of good restaurants and grocery shopping. Our hosts made the whole experience perfect!
The Casita was perfect for us - quiet, cozy, scenic and an easy drive into Santa Fe, where we enjoyed great meals and museums. The interior of the house was beautifully decorated and comfortable. Sylvi and Harland were warm and welcoming and extremely helpful. If we return to the Santa Fe area, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
Sylvi and Harland were an absolute delight! They made our experience so special!! Their casita is put together so well and was super cozy!! They literally thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay! We were highly impressed and would definitely stay again!! Thanks again for the amazing hospitality!
We recently had the pleasure of staying 5 days at the Enchanted Sunset Casita. It is perfect for 2, very clean, nice comfortable Queen bed, and in the beautiful location of Eldorado. The hosts/owners are very nice and there when you need them. It is an easy 20 min drive into Santa Fe but has an impressive grocery store within a couple of miles and delicious restaurants just up the road. We enjoyed some great hiking nearby. Highly recommend!
Sylvi and Harland are the best hosts! So kind and thoughtful. The casita is modern but very southwest with amazing decor. So very quiet for the 4th of July! Our dog Chief appreciated the serenity. Don't hesitate to book this property. You won't be disappointed.
