It is the…read moremost delightful house perfectly situated for walks to the Plaza, down Canyon Road or to one of the many local trailheads. This recently remodeled home is bright, well-appointed, and comfortably furnished. The gas fire was an ideal touch for the chilly winter evenings. The kitchen is especially well equipped which I appreciated given the length of my stay. The owners and the property manager were gracious and responsive. I can't wait to plan my next stay at Palacitos!

Our experience was so positive that we have already worked with Richard and Leslie to secure next spring's rental. We found Casa Linde (now off market, I believe) to combine the amenities of a comfortable, well equipped, and nicely decorated home with those expected at a fine hotel. Richard and Leslie are very engaging and very responsive, and we appreciated their thoughtfulness in the preparations that made the house such a welcoming place in Santa Fe. If you want to be assured of charming and high quality accommodations for your visit to Santa Fe, you should be a client of Adobe Casitas!

In fact, if you need another to fill a bedroom inbox me and I'm there (lol, but seriously). This place is perfect. From the moment you arrive, it's impossible to not be transported to a place of peace, tranquility and joy. Multiple decks to see the stunning views. A pool, hot tub, and sauna. A yoga room!!! Great if you already have a practice and can use facilities on your own, but we also found it was very reasonable to just hire a teacher from Santa Fe to come up for a private lesson. Hiking right outside your door. Every bedroom (plus the cabin!) is set up perfectly to make you feel like a VERY ZEN queen/king. Watch the sunrise and the sunset over the mountains, while you swing on the front swings. Eat dinner under the stars or in the formal dining room. The choices are endless at Rass Mandal. The experience of this house unlocked possibilities, I'm not even kidding! It is a ways up the mountain road-- so not for people who really wan ot be in the center of twon. But we really had no trouble getting to town when we wanted to go out and explore. Mostly though you'll want to stay in, trust me! :) Also Richard is the nicest. Very helpful and the entire process was overall easy. Enjoy your stay at Rass Mandal!!

After searching for a place to stay in Northern New Mexico, I came across Cliff River Springs. I…read morewas super excited, as the place appeared gorgeous and remote, exactly what we were looking for. Our expectations were not only met, but exceeded many times over. From the friendly and welcoming hosts to the absolutely stunning landscape, this place is totally amazing. The Casita - We were lucky and got an upgrade to Upper Stream. What a gorgeous place. Warm wood floors, a full and well equipped kitchen, a nice gas fireplace, little touches around the place, all really made it feel incredibly cozy and welcoming. We ate out a few times but brought plenty of food to cook breakfast and lunch on site. Our stay lasted four days, so it felt almost like home! The Land - I am an urbanite, so this place was literally nirvana to me. We saw a hawk in action, and heard coyotes. We went on a nice walk, along the dry river bed and up into the hills. I was giddy with the the views and plant life bursting around me. Just be sure to bring a hat! It's bright/warm out there (we were there in early October). I fell in love with the pond! It was an oasis in the dry climate of New Mexico. We spent a lot of time sitting up there, taking in the view. My traveling companion went swimming, too! I can't say enough good things about Cliff River Springs. Those four days will stay with me for many, many moons to come.

My spectacular but I should have booked another month stay at the Cliff River Springs. I spent an…read moreincredible five weeks (04/01/2021 - 05/06/2021) in "Cliff Mid" casita on the Cliff River Springs property. I will start with the gracious manager, Hope, then the property, and finally the casita. My five week stay was phenomenal because of Hope Atterbury. Hope's kindness and attentiveness pierced through me from our first email correspondence to my last day. She responded to my emails quickly (I have a feature phone without vowifi but got good reception around the upper pond, the plaza, and the parking lot). Hope appropriately checked on my wellbeing without being annoying. During my stay I did not have a vehicle (I still don't lol). Hope generously offered and picked up groceries from me whenever she went into town. Without her kindness, I would have been very hungry, but I still would have enjoyed the scenery and my casita. The Cliff River Springs property is vast, varied, and vibrant. After my arrival, Hope showed me around the beautiful property; more importantly, she showed me the map of the property and the guide to the various trails and hikes on the property. During the first two weeks, I had an amazing time exploring the property and trails. Listening, feeling, smelling, and watching nature be reborn was peaceful and soul satisfying. After the weather warmed and I got some courage, I took several rejuvenating swims in the upper pond. Later on I found a distinguished, tremendous tree to share energy, practice yoga, meditate, and observe life near my casita (the tree is near the longest bench and valley overview area). My casita, "Cliff Mid," was quiet, charming, and cozy. "Cliff Mid" contained everything I needed to feel at home. It had great wifi, a full sink, refrigerator, dishes, salt, olive oil, various tea bags, tea kettle, soap, towels, a gas range and oven, a toaster, dining table, full size bed with a thick comforter, sofa, arm chair, bathroom, electric heat baseboards, yoga mat, books, pots and pans, spices, and hot sauce. My favorite part of the casita are the windows. There is one window in the front and three windows in the back of the casita. I love the refreshing air flow with all the windows open. Also being able to watch the birds, especially the humming birds, from the front window and listen to the stream from the back windows is spectacular. One of the best parts of my adventure at Cliff River Springs were the moments I shared with the other guests and staff. I had different neighbors during my stay. Everyone had positive, calm aura; additionally, everyone was friendly. Whether you come by yourself, with a friend, or with a bunch of family, you will enjoy the harmony and nature at Cliff River Springs. You will leave relaxed and happier (maybe a little sad leaving because you want to stay longer). I plan to return to Cliff River Springs to experience its magic during each season. I started in spring next is summer.

The 4 of us recently stayed a 2 BR unit managed by Two Casitas. We were 2 couples, and my friend…read moreBob was correct in that this sort of arrangement together was better than booking a hotel and retreating to our individual hotel rooms each night. As such, we all had a great time together of which this VRBO enhanced our experience. At the same time, there was sticker shock, as on top of the per night charge was a host fee, service fee, and sales tax. The add-ons came to about 50% of the per night rate. Once I got that out of the way, the house was handsome, well maintained, roomy, modern, immaculate, and comfortable and in a great highly walkable (to the Plaza) location. Gayle and I slept well in our room, with lots of storage, and featuring a strong hot shower. It was great for the 4 of us to get together in the common areas, including the living room and the outdoor patio with fire pit. In fact one night we sat out there for hours over pizza and beer and chatted the evening away. The Kitchen was well appointed, although the "coffee maker" mentioned in the listing was actually a Keurig coffee pod machine. A few opportunities for improvement: WIFI didn't really work as it dropped in and out frequently and when it was on, it was weak at best. Bob had planned to do some work during our time together and came up a bit short there. The rest of us just used cellular. I also wish there was a little more product available in the shower, of which we supplemented thanks to a nearby CVS. I'll give this experience 5 Stars (despite the nits) as it helped make our long Santa Fe Weekend convenient, safe, and special. Gayle and I will be coming back next year and we'll look Two Casitas over again, while keeping aware of the pricing components (including alternatives), location, and WiFi.

It is one of our favorites now, and we can't wait to go back. The new manager's of the property Christopher and Jessica are fabulous hosts. From the moment we stepped through the wooden entrance doors, we felt a calm and peace fall over us. We stayed in the Abiquiu Lake Suite and it was amazing. Jessica greeted us and showed us around the property and our suite and we settled in. The Hacienda is tucked on a hill, down several dirt roads and through an entrance gate, you may begin to wonder if you are on the right path, just follow their instructions and you will be fine. The property is beautiful with stunning views. With just 3 rooms, you will feel like you have the place to yourself. The breakfast room/great room with a fireplace is a wonderful gathering spot with games. Step out on the patio or walk down the short path to the jacuzzi, it is beautiful. Now to our room. The king bed was so comfortable, the two indoor chairs at the foot of the bed are comfy and easy to sit and read. But even better, step out onto your private patio with chaise lounges and soak in the views of the lake and landscape. All 3 rooms have their own private patio's, you can't go wrong with any of them. The bathroom was huge with double sinks and the shower huge. We were extremely comfortable. The breakfasts at the inn are scrumptious. Our first breakfast started with vanilla yogurt and chia seeds, topped with honey, fresh fruit and mint. Then Jessica brought out Avocado toast with pine nuts and a soft egg. By now I am happily full. But wait, Jessica and Christopher bring out the main breakfast walnut bread French toast with syrup and almond whipped cream, with potato hash. Mr. B had ham also, with me being primarily vegetarian I had roasted fresh figs with goat cheese. We did have dinner one night during our stay and again it was delicious. Each afternoon, there is a snack for the guests in the great room too. There is a guest utility type room with a refrigerator, so if you have drinks or juices you want to keep cold, you can store them in the fridge. Our stay was truly memorable, it couldn't have been any better and exceeded our expectations. We will absolutely go back just to relax for a few days.

Within two hours of arriving, we fell in love with the place so much we cancelled our next hotel and added a night at the Grand Hacienda!

Carolyn and Tom were amazing hosts, and take care to make sure everyone's stay is nothing less than perfect. The three course breakfasts they serve are out of this world and we looked forward to them each day. We feel like we gained friends in Carolyn and Tom and have recommended it to our friends and family. We can't wait to go back!

It was more than we could imagine, we stayed in a lovely room, with comfortable beds, a fire place and a cute bathroom. There was even an enclosed patio with a gate off of the room (made it easier to let the dog out in the morning). The space was very open and we felt like we were at home. There was wireless internet, satellite TV and plenty of space for my friend, my dog and I to roam around. We were the only ones there during our stay and my dog LOVED it! Plenty to sniff and explore. Anne, the owner is wonderful and sweet. She recommended great places for us to eat and helped us find our way around. They offer great pet services and we were allowed to leave our well-behaved dog in the room. The breakfasts were delicious, every morning there was coffee, tea, juice, granola with fresh fruit and yogurt. And if you wanted eggs and bacon made to order with scones! This is a little ways outside of Santa Fe but so worth the stay, much better than being in a city. The views from the Hacienda were gorgeous and we saw snow, clear skies, cloudy days, and starry nights (in the two days we were there in late March). It was gorgeous! Can't wait to go back!

The views are gorgeous and the place is perfectly secluded, yet there is still access to the funky little town of Madrid close by. We couldn't have picked a better spot for our intimate family wedding. The team at the Hacienda made planning from a distance very easy for us and we were well taken care of.

Close walking proximity to hiking trails and within 20 minutes to many Santa Fe's attractions ensures a balance of relaxation and exploration.
