Hey Kirk. Sorry I missed message. I have referred you to the owner who can add more information about the architect who passed away a few years ago. We are so glad you chose to stay with us. We will welcome you back if you come back to SFe.
Serenity lived up to its name! The house was a perfect retreat for our stay in Santa Fe - peaceful, spotless and thoughtfully prepared. The location made it easy to get to nearby shopping, restaurants and historic districts. The property itself was quiet and relaxing. It was exactly what we needed.

Hi Joyce,
Thank you for being such great guests during your stay at Serenity. We really appreciate you leaving the house in such good condition. Please join us again if you travel back to Santa Fe. 5 stars ⭐️
This is a beautiful casita set in a high desert garden with large windows that bring the New Mexico sky right into the room with you. Lovely, peaceful, and close to everything. A gem.

Michael and his wife were a pleasure to have stay with us. Our place was left super tidy after they left. I would highly recommend them as guests. They were considerate, generous and pleasant, we would welcome them back anytime.
This mid-century modern home was beautiful, CLEAN, comfy beds, & QUIET. The host thought of everything: cold bottled water ready for us to hydrate, coffee/tea, sunscreen and more! We stayed here for a week and loved the convenient location close to everything! The host answered all our questions immediately! We will definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Hello Michelle, Sorry about the delay in responding to you. We were so grateful to have you stay at Serenity. You were the consummate guests and we look forward to hosting you this coming year if you return to SFe. Our highest rating!
Most beautiful and comfortable vacation rental ever! Loved having morning coffee and sometimes dinner on the patio surrounded by nature and cool breezes. We regularly saw Mule Deer, rabbits, lizards, birds and pollinating bees, to this native gardener's delight!Quick easy Lyft rides wherever we wanted to go, without great expense.Hosts were charming and responsive to our requests, even when our requests were because we didn't carefully enough read the provided VRBO entry info. (Thanks for your patience, Willy! Do still think printed info in the house would be helpful and give you a break...)Comfy beds!

Marty and Patricia were an absolute pleasure to host. We had the chance to say hello and interact a little which was very pleasant. My wife Joyce and I would be delighted to host Marty again, anytime. She left the house super clean, too.
We had a very nice stay. House is contemporary with lots of natural light. Beds were comfortable. Close to both old town and newer industrial part of town. Would stay again.
We had a great stay in this quiet location. The unit was well appointed and extremely clean. We only wish we had more warm days during our stay so we could enjoy the patio more.
We enjoyed our stay at the Mod house! It was beautifully decorated and so peaceful! Our favorite part was enjoying dinner on the patio with our family. Check in was seemless and so easy! We cannot wait to come back!!

Hello Ashley
Thank you for your glowing review. It was a pleasure hosting you. Yes, we would love to host you again next year. Be well
Joyce, Whit and Shera
Great trip to Santa Fe! Location was close to all the restaurants, shopping, art galleries and museum. Hosts were very responsive and attentive. Would not hesitate to return. We were also glad to see a snow flurry on Christmas Day!
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. They thought of everything. Extremely clean. Great service by the property manager Shera. We had no problems at all during our stay and will be back!

Hi Lori
Thank you for staying with us at Mod Seville. We are so glad you had a great visit and happy to know you found everything to your satisfaction.
Warmly
Whit, Joyce and Shera
We were very happy with our accommodation choice for our stay last week in Santa Fe. This casita is both beautiful and comfortable, with lovely art and details throughout. The gardens are beautiful and peaceful and we enjoyed our morning coffee while sitting on the patio. The location is convenient making it easy to walk to many destinations. The hosts were gracious and touched base with us on arrival day to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a five star stay!
This house is adorable!! The owners clearly care about their property and take pride in every detail. Coffee in a pinch? Keurig. Coffee aficionado? Espresso maker and pour over options exist. The bathroom supplies were excellent. Beds were super comfortable - firm with soft pillows and fluffy comforter. The live plants added a healthful detail. It was also tastefully decorated with quality art and a lava lamp! Would be delighted to stay again!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay at this awesome home. The house is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and all of the furniture and beds are very comfortable. The large soaking tub and premium bath products made the stay even more enjoyable.
The property is about a 5 minute drive to all of the places you want to get to in Santa Fe, the Plaza, Railyard, Canyon Rd and many great restaurants.
The property is in a quiet road with a large backyard and open property with a nice view. We were visited by Deer, Birds and other wildlife.
The hosts were easy to reach, and everything we needed was thought of before we arrived.
We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Santa Fe!

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique
Serenity is a one of a kind modern property, situated on a quiet road, with a natural meadow coming from our well water. Enjoy on demand hot water and concrete floors with radiant heat. It is quiet, minimalist and cozy. The 12’ ceilings and 8 foot storefront windows open to the beautiful outdoor patio that overlooks the Sangre de Cristo mountains and the beautiful blue skies of northern New Mexico. The landscaped area gives way to a natural meadow where you will see deer, bees, birds and wildlife. Serenity is centrally located - less than one mile to the plaza, museum hill and shopping.
