Thank you so much for staying with us and I'm so glad that you enjoyed the casita as well as the location! We want our guests to feel like our home is a home away from home! Please keep in mind that we have a total of 12 casitas, all in different sizes and shapes. This one bedroom, one bath is small, so maybe next time you can stay in a larger casita if available! We would love to have you join us again soon! Thanks for being such a terrific guest!

Thanks Brenda for staying with us and I'm so glad that you enjoyed the location of the casita. Casita B is a one bedroom, one bath casita and the bathroom is tiny. I do have several other casitas that are larger and maybe next time you come we can find a larger one for you! Hurry back to see us! Mary Ann

Thank you so much for staying with us! It was such a pleasure to work with you and I hope you all enjoyed Santa Fe and Casita B! Yes, the bathroom is very small, but it has everything you need in it! This casita does have a nice sized kitchen-that's the trade off in this particular casita. We do have 11 other casitas and I'd be happy to place you in a different one next time round. They are all very different and unique. I hope you will remember us if you travel this way again! Thanks for taking such good care of our place!

Owners Response: Dear Bert, I’m glad that you enjoyed the location, mattress and the outdoor patio of Casita B. I’m so sorry that you were not happy with the rest. We advertise our properties as moderately priced casitas, that are clean, cozy and conveniently located near the plaza. We work hard to make your experience a positive one and we do not want anyone to walk away unhappy. Please know that we are consistently replacing linens, towels, and kitchen equipment. The towels that were in Casita B were fairly new. They were soft and fluffy and washed really well – we didn’t know that they were not good absorbent towels and they will be replaced. Each casita has its own pattern of dishes, linens and towels and when we replace items we make sure that the sets are matching so that there aren’t mismatched items in the cabinets and drawers. We always discard items that have been damaged or broken when we find them. If items have been put back in the drawers or cabinets, they may have been missed during the cleanings. The two most popular items that go missing are the scissor and hangers. We keep extra scissors in the supply cabinet for that reason and once a year we throw out all the metal hangers and replace them with the hard white plastic ones. We will make a point to run through the places more often and replace the wire hangers with the plastic ones. As for the furniture, since the casitas are small, we try not to clutter it up with big pieces. Most of the items are practical and light weight. The furniture doesn’t have stains or tears and is in good shape. If the furniture is light weight housekeeping can move items easily to clean underneath pieces. And guests constantly move furniture around and it’s hard for one housekeeper to put things back together when working alone. Some of the pictures on the walls have been painted by local artist and they are for sale. Those pictures do have price tags on them. As for the vodka box end table, that was a gift from a local artist in Santa Fe. That end table is strong and sturdy – so sturdy that someone can stand on it! We try and showcase Santa Fe artists throughout the casitas. I’m always looking for new furnishings and items for the casitas and I will keep your comments in mind when I’m looking around. Thank you so much for taking time to write and stay with us. We do have 12 casitas and you may consider staying in another one next time you visit Santa Fe.

It was so nice to hear from you! I always appreciate the feedback that we receive, good or bad. It keeps us on our toes and only helps us to improve. I’m so sorry about the shower curtains. They have been replaced. We usually take them down once a month to wash them. As for the wood, we started providing the prepackaged logs several years ago. They are very easy to use and typically burn for up to two hours. These are seasonable logs and we can only purchase them in the winter months. They typically go on sale in October or November, depending on the weather. The last day of Summer 2011 was September 23, 2011. We are still in the 80’s during the day, and still have the air conditioners on (May – October). September and October, we usually leave all the doors and windows open and enjoy the fresh air. I have revised our book to let our guest know when we start providing the wood. The fireplaces can be used any time of year, we just don’t provide the wood until it cools down a bit.

I am so sorry that you were so disappointed in your stay. My cleaning ladies and I work really hard to take care of our properties and make sure they are clean and acceptable for our guests to stay. We take great pride in the work we do and very rarely have any complaints about the cleanliness or appearance of our properties. I inspect all the casitas for each guest prior to their check in. I knew the casita had just been cleaned two days prior to arrival, and knew that when she explained where the dust was, that it had come from the sky light above. I had a repair man look at it the next day and discovered that a screw had come out. We repaired it the very next day and filled the edges with foam. When checking the casitas, we make sure that we leave ample paper goods behind. This guest was scheduled in for six nights and we had one roll of paper towels on the counter and another above the sink. There was also one roll of toilet paper on the spool and two others in the drawer. We are happy to provide paper goods and soaps – hand soap, body soap, dish soap, laundry soap, etc, but we do not supply foil or plastic wrap. I never throw these things away if people leave them behind and always tell my guests to look around the casitas before they stop at the grocery store. The kitchen is equipped with pots and pans, dishes, silverware, (just about anything to cook with) as well as a stove, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. Cooking in the casitas should be very easy. I have guests do it every day! We are constantly replacing towels and linens and do not leave ratty ones behind. I am partial to the fuzzy (not ratty) bath mats. We also leave extra light bulbs under the sink next to the little tool box. We try and paint and touch up all our places during our slower times, at least twice a year – April and October. The walls are made of adobe and when hit, will leave scratches. Our shower curtains our washed monthly and the tubs are cleaned thoroughly after each guests stay, sometimes once or twice a week! My housekeeper lives on site and I am always a phone call away. My phone number is listed on all our correspondence as well as in the casitas. I return all phone calls the day it is received and we work hard to take care of any problems immediately.

Thank you! It was great to have you stay with us and hope you will return someday soon! Travel Safe!

It was a pleasure to have you stay with us! Hurry back!
