Little did we know that we would be plunging it daily! There were no screens in the windows, so if you wanted fresh air it came complete with bugs! The casitas were very small and cramped with no place to eat your food unless you went out onto the porch. Unfortunately, I dropped a small piece of chicken on the sheet and quickly tried to clean it up, but it left a small stain. I felt terrible until I saw the bill included a cleaning fee and service charge. What service?

We live in the area and wanted a small, simple, and special ceremony in this beautiful landscape that we love. I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon Casa Escondida's elopement packages through some late night googling. Ernesto helped to plan the perfect celebration for us and our 3 guests. I especially appreciated how open and considerate Ernesto was of us as a queer couple in the planning of the event. He didn't make any assumptions when it came to pronouns, flowers, or the names we would call each other as a married couple. He made sure to ask first which was so thoughtful and made us feel even more at ease and sure of our choice. It really was the most magical day and that is a huge thanks to Ernesto and his staff!

My friend found this super cute bed and breakfast in the Chimayo area and we were able to book…read moreCasita Escondido Suite which was a cozy, one-bedroom adobe suite right next to the main house complete with a kiva fireplace (my favorite part!!!) My friend took the queen bed in the main room while I slept on the comfortable day bed in the sitting room. Our room also had a kitchen area which we used to make some nighttime tea. In the morning we enjoyed breakfast in the main building. Coffee, juice, fruit bowl, and southwest quiche. It is no wonder Casa Escondida Bed & Breakfast is often rated the number one bed and breakfast in Northern New Mexico. Personally, my only 'complaint' was we called in advance to ensure we could be on property early AND that there was reliable wifi as my friend needed to log on Zoom for tutoring. Unfortunately, the wifi was not reliable at all and Zooming was not a possibility. Hopefully it has since been resolved. If you're looking for a relaxing place to stay in the Chimayo area, I recommend Casa Escondida!

Back again at the Hacienda with Viola, Ruth, and the wonderful staff. As has been pointed out both…read morepositively and negatively this is not the Ritz Carlton or even La Fonda Santa Fe. What it is, however, is authentic and true to its history and its location. No TV, no cell service (at least not if you have AT&T). Hardwood floors, viga ceilings, kiva fireplaces. The floorboards may squeak and the beds may too, but if you just will allow yourself to settle into the spirit of this place you will find some mighty fine relaxation. And for that you may need to spend a couple of nights (we always stay 5), visit the Santuario, enjoy the wonderful breakfasts delivered to your room on TV trays (muffin, fresh fruit, yogurt, juice, and coffee/tea), and eat all meals across the road at Rancho de Chimayo. Rooms Uno, Seis, and Siete have outside balconies with small sitting areas, well worth the small extra expense if the weather allows you to enjoy them. Uno and Siete are on the road so if the sound of cars passing by affects your sleep, then opt for an interior room; we find the sound very comforting, somehow reassuring knowing that the working world keeps on moving while we're still comfortably tucked in. I hear a car or two around 6 or so and then promptly go right back to sleep. You will not meet nicer, more caring hosts anywhere. As an added benefit, prices are considerably less than Santa Fe, which is only 35 minutes away; we usually go into SF to spend the day on Mondays when Rancho de Chimayo is closed.

Chimayo, New Mexico. You hear about this little town in a big way during Good Friday. We decided…read moreto spend a weekend out of the big city and take that hour and a half drive to this tranquil place. We checked in and were given UNO as our room. Wait for it--- No TV, No phone and No wi-fi. You were lucky if you had a bar on your cell phone. It was exactly what we needed. Wood filled the box outside the room just waiting to be burned. The wood floors crept as you walked and the tiny refrigerator held snacks and beverages. We slept like babies and woke to fresh air and breakfast to order at Rancho de Chimayo across the street. This weekend left us well rested and grateful for the silence.

I really wanted to leave a glowing 5-star review because, when we first arrived I was obsessed with…read morethis place. My boyfriend, our dog, and I ended up booking this B&B last minute after leaving another accommodation early because it had bugs (including a camel spider in our bed ). We found this place online at resnexus.com as well Yelp and stalked their website, loved the photos, read the reviews, and immediately felt relieved when we arrived. The Piñon Casita was adorable, the property itself is beautiful, breakfast was delicious, and the hosts seemed friendly. For the first hour or so I was thinking, Thank goodness, we finally found the place. Unfortunately, things slowly started going downhill from there. The first night, the fireplace wouldn't work. We messaged the hosts, sent photos, tried troubleshooting it ourselves, and eventually just gave up and accepted we'd be having a fireplace-free evening. It wasn't the end of the world, and we figured hey, stuff happens. The next day they came and fixed it, which we appreciated. Then came the washer. One of the reasons we were excited about this casita was because it included a washer and dryer. Earlier in the week we'd already spent time at a laundromat, so we were looking forward to doing laundry before our 8-hour drive home. We started a load and got a 4E error less than halfway through the wash. We looked it up ourselves, we tried troubleshooting, we messaged the hosts, we followed their suggestions, and we tried different cycles. At this point I felt less like a guest and more like the on-call appliance technician. They eventually told us the washer had been fixed while we were out hiking, so we were excited to finally do laundry. Spoiler alert it wasn't fixed. Same error. We tried again later that evening. Same issue. Then around 11 PM the washer completely shut off and locked our wet laundry inside. We messaged the hosts again because we were supposed to leave the next morning after breakfast and start an 8-hour drive home. The response that frustrated us most wasn't even the broken washer, it was being told that because we hadn't specifically mentioned on the phone that we intended to use the washer and dryer, (And she said that they don't accept same day bookings, but made an exception for us, though that was never communicated nor was this a policy written anywhere on their website) compensation wouldn't be considered. Respectfully, if an amenity is advertised, guests shouldn't have to announce ahead of time that they plan on using it. That's like asking if the shower works before booking because you intend to shower. We weren't asking for a huge refund. We weren't asking for hundreds of dollars back. Even a small gesture of goodwill $50 to $100 off the stay would have gone a long way and would have shown that they understood the inconvenience. Instead, we paid full price despite having a fireplace that didn't work the first night and a washer/dryer that never functioned properly during our stay. To add to that, there were also multiple spiders and bugs inside the casita. I understand this is the countryside and bugs exist. Trust me, I get it. But after literally leaving our previous accommodation because of bugs, it wasn't exactly what we hoped to deal with again. The next morning our laundry was still trapped in the washer. Eventually my boyfriend ended up figuring out the breaker issue himself after staff told us where the breaker panel was located. We rushed to get our laundry spun and dried before checkout, but they still weren't completely dry. So instead of leaving relaxed after a nice getaway, we ended up starting our 8-hour drive home later than planned with damp laundry shoved into a trash bag. The frustrating part is that this review could have been completely different. The property is beautiful, the breakfast was genuinely fantastic, the casita itself is cute and cozy. And honestly, if the hosts had simply acknowledged the inconvenience and offered even a small amount of compensation, I probably would've happily overlooked most of this. Instead, we left feeling like the burden of fixing the problems fell on us while still paying full price for amenities we couldn't properly use. It's a lovely property, but unfortunately the way these issues were handled means we won't be returning.

But where? Reviewers touted the Inn Of The Turquoise Bear.....and they were right. Pros: - Location: Central. Just south of the downtown area and a 15 minute walk to Canyon Road. - Exterior: A sprawling property in a residential neighborhood. Several smaller buildings seem to have been added over the (many) years to the main building seen on most photos of the property. - Interior: Like going back 100 years. Things were fixed, of course...especially in public spaces...but you might feel as if you're in a living museum. - Our Room (Witter Byner): Large and rambling. More than enough room for 2 people plus a balcony overlooking the front of the property. Very comfortable. I could live there for a month if we didn't mind going up and down 15 stairs to the main floor. One interesting aspect: The bathroom. It was very nice and fully equipped, but separate from our room and down 5 stairs. That wasn't a problem during the day, but a few nights were an adventure - Breakfast: Unreal. Everything was homemade with great taste. The buffet portion had sliced fruit, granola, juices, pastries and yogurt. The hosts and kitchen staff had 3-5 entrees available each day. I rarely tried those since I filled up on the buffet, but my wife ate one every day and only had good things to say. Service at the community table was gracious and unhurried with lots of interesting conversation. - Amenities: A 1-2 hour Happy Hour every day starting at 430 or 5 PM. Fresh cookies, fruit, tea and jug water were available all day (coffee from 630-10 AM). Umbrellas. Plenty of smiles. - Hosts: Everyone was very friendly, helpful, informative and even charming. Special thanks to Aileen (sp?). - Housekeeping: Effective, efficient and unobtrusive. - Parking: Sufficient. The large courtyard in front of the of the property provided enough room for cars in the 11 room B&B. - Price and Value: Reasonable. It's not cheap, but as in most cases you get what you pay for. We'd heartily recommend the Inn Of The Turquoise Bear, but make reservations well in advance.

If you're seeking a warm, relaxing boutique experience in Santa Fe, this is not it…read more Our suite, the aptly named "Territorial," was beautifully styled but functionally absurd. The bed sits just inches from the toilet door, so unless you're unusually close with your travel companion, pack earplugs and a blindfold. Dust was caked into the corners, a dead bug was in the ripple of the vintage rug, and we were greeted by a dried booger on the bathroom door (seriously). The door frame lets light in, the floors creaked like a haunted house, and the entire layout felt like it was designed by someone who's never actually had to sleep there. There were no privacy blinds, only wooden shutters, and the artwork provided enough clutter to fill the room just in case you forgot your own luggage. Breakfast was the big show! Most of what we were served was delicious. For an extra $45 per person, you'll be given whatever the kitchen feels like making that morning... no choices, no allergy considerations, and not even a glass of water. Instead, you're handed an herbal infusion and expected to sip with gratitude while waiting 90 minutes for your dessert tart. But our group's disappointment simply must have meant we didn't understand the "magic" of the experience. In the end, Casa Culinaria is the kind of place that confuses ambiance with hospitality and is more interested in curating an image than creating a welcoming stay. If you're searching in Santa Fe for a splintering rocking chair, garden corners appropriate for Instagram, or even paying $340/night to be treated like an inconvenience... this is the winner! Anyone interested in actual hospitality should keep searching.
