Lovely Quiet Neighborhood

The accommodations were immaculate, well-supplied and modern. The property and neighborhood were packed with the high desert plants and gardens that we love about Santa Fe and invited strolling. While none of the city’s main attractions and restaurants are within walking distance, all are within a short drive, especially the wonderful collections on “museum hill”.

Cuddly cottage

Beautiful renovation. Comfortable and clean. Handicap ramp was a plus for all the shopping bags and boxes we moved around during Baylor move in for our 2 Bears. Location is convenient for getting to Baylor campus, shopping, food, etc. A lot of construction being done nearby but noise was minimal. Aesthetically It will be a nice neighborhood with new condos, store fronts, etc. in a few months/year. Right now it's a work in progress. We will definitely stay here again.

Cute Clean Cozy House

The accommodations for this Cute Clean Cozy house were on point! The house was well supplied with all the things we needed for a comfortable convenient stay. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. It’s also in walking distance from the Brazo River and a sweet little park. Communications with management was very smooth. The dishwasher had a minor issue while we were there. Maintenance came out and fixed it right up. The maintenance guy was so nice and friendly, too. We’re already talking about booking again in the fall. When it’s nice and cool. The big beautiful tree and the deck is a wonderful place for a cookout. The only suggestion I would have is a grill for the deck. But, over all our stay was a 5 of 5!
