It's taken me longer than I had hoped to submit this review because I was afraid my post-wedding brain would be too jumbled to find the words this property deserves. I'm ready! My husband and I stayed at the Casita for our honeymoon which was also our first trip to Santa Fe. I know it's referred to as "The Land of Enchantment" and the Casita was no different. Every inch of the Casita is straight out of a BH&G magazine:Santa Fe Edition. Spotless, charming, stocked, cozy, literally around the corner from the Railyard (go to the Farmers Market on Saturday in the morning and cross directly across the street to the row of artists tents. Talk about fresh produce, unique items directly from the makers, handmade everything, great crowd and beautiful surroundings.) We drove from St. Louis and pulled right into the convenient carport, went through the gate into the gorgeous (very secure with tall walls, perfect) backyard and into the Casita. Any/all questions you may have? Barbara is the Hostess Extroardinaire. We never met in person, but anything you need is in the binder or there's a post it note to answer the question before you even think of it. She was a text away and was right there to give my husband suggestions on how to battle my disagreement with the altitude. Everyone knows you're supposed to stay hydrated before and during and I'm the strange bird that only drinks fountain soda...ONLY. Everything you need is nearby also. Pharmacy, gas station, Urgent Care if you're clumsy, Starbucks, cute shops, restaurants, etc.)

I get wordy when I'm excited and when someone deserves praise!! Again, we drove so we drove to The Plaza to haul our purchases back, BUT there's so much to see around the Casita that it would be an easy/lovely 15 min. walk or about 6 min drive. Park at a meter and get your shop on. LOOK NO FURTHER. I MEAN IT! We already miss it! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sweet Barbara! Standing ovation from Adam and I.

Love,

Lauren & Adam
