Wonderful

This is an interesting nontraditional type place to stay in while visiting the area. It's nicely decorated and well maintained. The owner was helpful and responsive to questions/problems we had, including locking ourselves out. Once we got used to the driving required to stay in Chupadero, we enjoyed the country experience.

15 minutes outside of Santa Fe, close to Opera, beautiful scenery and a beautifully finished house. Big kitchen, roomy bath!
