My family enjoyed the property for Thanksgiving. Property was well appointed and easily accommodated my wife and I, 3 little granddaughters and their parents. Nice quiet location, but conveniently located near many attractions and grocery stores. Great stay. I would recommend it to anyone.
A wonderful, comfortable home in a great location. Dean was extremely helpful and a great host. The house is very close to our favorite hiking spot, Galisteo Basin Reserve. It’s in a very quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of Santa Fe but only about 20 minutes from most of Santa Fe. We would certainly want to stay there in the future.
Lovely home in a beautiful location! Peaceful and quiet neighborhood only a short drive to restaurants and activities. Home had everything we needed for our stay including a very clean, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and plenty of room to spread out and relax.

Coleen,
Thank for staying at Casa de Ochoa. We enjoyed having you and family and hope you come back as you’re always welcome back!
Dean and Gloria
Casa de Ochoa was a perfect location for us. We have some of our group with mobility issues and it was perfect!! Nice wide doorways, no steps other than a small “lip” stepping from the driveway to the patio/entry. So comfortable! We enjoyed a week of relaxation and quiet. Dean & Gloria were wonderful hosts. Not a single snag!!!! We look forward to returning
I enjoyed my retreat here at Dean and Gloria's home in the western edge of Eldorado. Plenty of space for larger groups and with all the desired amenities.

We were five adults. The home was perfect for our needs (a quiet place to return to after visiting friends at Tesuque Pueblo, Ohkay Owingeh, Taos, and Santa Fe). We cooked a lot and were happy for a well-stocked supply of pots, pans, and spices.

Julie and guests spent Christmas week at Casa de Ochoa. It was a return to Santa Fe to visit friends and enjoy Northern New Mexico.
The guests were respectful, communicative and followed house rules and would gladly have Julie and guests back anytime.
Beautiful Adobe had everything we needed. Perfect for 2 couples, or a family. Great location outside of Santa Fe. Quiet, peaceful place to return to after a full day of activities. Gloria and Dean were great hosts, provided good ideas for our visit and were very responsive. We would choose this VRBO again!

Guests like Julie make the vacation home rental experience worth sharing our home!
She communicated, house was left in great condition. It would be our pleasure to host Julie’s group again anytime.
We had a great time at Gloria and Dean’s property. We didn’t want to stay in a cramped hotel in downtown Santa Fe, wanted plenty indoor and outdoor space. The multiple patios were nice to have coffee in the morning and watch the sunset in the evening. The house was spacious and had all the normal conveniences needed for a long weekend stay. Would definitely stay there again.

This property was way better than the photos and we were pleasantly surprised! The home was spotless, had a nice open layout, beautiful outdoor space and ample linens. Eldorado is a little out of town but there was plenty of kitchen amenities and we had everything we needed.

The Hosts Dean & Gloria were very easy to work with and messages/questions were answered very quickly. The house was very nicely decorated and more than enough room for 3 couples to enjoy. Was about a 15-20 min drive to Santa Fe tourist areas. Would highly recommend.
