Unsurpassed Night Skies And Fresh Mountain Air In A Traditional Village

Beautifully handcrafted home, one and a half stories with large bedroom upstairs, open floor plan down stairs, 3 patios, one with an immaculate private hot tub. Located in the mountains southeast of Santa Fe, so quiet that all you hear are crickets, birds and an occasional coyote in the night. Five minute walk into the Santa Fe National Forest. Fully furnished and equipped home. 4WD is required during the winter months.

Cozy Retreat Under the Stars
This is the perfect place to stay if you want to be out in nature but close to Santa Fe, NM. Dodie’s home is comfortable, well stocked with everything you need, and gives you privacy to completely relax while you’re there. Our host was very responsive when we had questions. Her place is beautiful with lots of flowers and hummingbirds in the yard. We enjoyed it!

Tranquil indeed
This stay will stay with me for a long time. It was so lovely and restorative. My husband and I stayed- found our flow pretty quickly. Time out in back on the glider, on the glider out front. It was nice and cool in the morning and evening, good for hot tub and relaxing time outside, and comfortable temps inside all day/night. Hot water and pressure great for showers. Kitchen space great for meal prep. Sound of crickets at night with a big sky. So nice to be a little ways out of city center while at the same time close enough to visit there. Thank you, Dorothy.

Outstanding place and location!
Unique, charming and spacious. Well appointed kitchen. Hot tub was not only great but it’s located in a secluded spot in the backyard a little below the main patio area. Plenty of sky above for stargazing! Host, Dodie was attentive and friendly. Only a short distance to downtown Santa Fe, but all the charm of a country place. We would recommend this place to anyone!

Santa Fe Getaway
This home was amazing. Just outside Santa Fe but close enough to go into town whenever we wanted to do so. We found some local trails to hike and enjoyed incredible food and fun shopping. Dodie was the perfect host and we experienced no problems. Her home was just as described.

This was an excellent location to conclude our visit to New Mexico and Arizona. We had been on the road for about four days leading up to our stay and really needed a place to relax before we returned to Maine. This was the perfect location for that.

Sno-wonderful!
Dorothy was the perfect welcoming host. We felt very at home. Not your standard 4 plates, 4 cups and a salt and pepper shaker. You felt like you were staying with a friend. Even with the 10” of snow the area received before we arrived, the walks in front and in back including patio area were cleaned off. Hot tub was spotless. We enjoyed the sunny days and the starry nights. And the bird watching. Would definitely stay again!

Santa Fe retreat
We were lucky enough to stay in Dorothy’s charming retreat outside Santa Fe. Filled with lovely folk art, it has a wonderfully peaceful feeling. We enjoyed the hot tub under the stars. Close enough to Santa Fe to go for dinner or the sites but far enough away to be another world. Would recommend highly for a romantic relaxing stay.

Great house
The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The location was perfect for for getting to explore the local mountains. We hiked at holy ghost creek and the sante fe national forest near the ski slope. It was great to take a long soak in the hot tub after the long hike.

We LOVED staying here! The entire house is its own vibe! Seriously, we would live here if we could. Our favorite thing was the hot tub, which we were lucky enough to get to enjoy during the day since the weather turned chilly on us. Overall, the house is in a lovely location, and very relaxing! We would stay here again!

My husband and I have stayed at many places all over The country and this is by far the best place we have ever stayed. So quiet and tranquil, and the most stocked kitchen of any place I have ever seen for a rental, including coffee (French press) in the morning. Wonderful hot tub. You can tell that every corner was decorated with love. We will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful and comfortable
A wonderful getaway: the two-floor house with amazing garden is quite spacious for two guests. We felt surrounded by beauty indoors and out. We loved listening to the burbling fountain and watching the hummingbirds. Husband said, "This is a really special place. We should make sure to drink it in." We enjoyed a mix of visiting town (a 20-minute drive), hiking recommended trails, and relaxing, which was just right for us. Host Dodie had reasons to stop by the house a couple of times but graciously checked with us first.

Cool, beautiful and peaceful
We stayed at Dodie's place for a week in the middle of July when it was in the 90s in Santa Fe. It was much cooler in the mountains and so beautiful. Quick drive to Santa Fe and surrounding areas, but we spent as much time enjoying the time away from everything watching the fauna come to the fountain and smell the fresh air. Dodie was great! We'd love to come back in the fall next time to catch the seasonal change. Very relaxing!

Will be back!!
We can not praise this exceptional home enough! Not only did we fall in love with this beautiful home, but Santa Fe as well! Dorothy was welcoming and very accommodating. The house was spotless, artistically decorated, and inviting. The back patio is truly a special little haven with gorgeous vegetation, a lovely water feature, and a variety of visiting birds. As amateur bird enthusiasts, it was a slice of heaven. Not to mention the wonderful hot tub to relax and soak in all that nature has to offer. We could not have asked for a better, more enjoyable get away, and will definitely be returning in the future!!

Perfect Stay
1. The property is amazing. It has all that is needed. The decor and setting are so thoughtfully detailed. I kept finding new details. It is obvious that the home is a treasure. 2. The location was perfect for me. I wanted to be outside the city, but close enough to be able to dine and visit. Fit the bill. 3. I cannot say enough about the owner. Dorothy worked with us and accommodated us when an emergency prevented us from getting there on time. Great communication. Great hospitality. We will return.

Peaceful Weekend Getaway
My wife and I stayed here for Memorial Day weekend and loved the property. This was the quietest and most peaceful property we have rented. We live in a large city (8 million+), and to sit out on the front or back patio and hear nothing but birds (several hummingbirds), crickets, and the wind was a major blessing. The property was clean and stocked with most of what you would need. The owner even supplied filtered water in two large containers that sit in a ceramic carafe which is great for us since we drink a lot of water, plus a local champagne wine. The furniture was comfortable and the hot tub was great any time of the day, although it's hard to argue with night since you get to see so many stars. We were glad we chose this property and would like to visit again someday.

Perfect Environment!
My husband and I wanted a respite from the dailies and also to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We could not have picked a better location and house. Everything about the experience was refreshing and relaxing. We LOVED the quiet and serenity of the house and the surroundings. We were able to rest and just enjoy being. The birds and other critters were very entertaining and we enjoyed their shows. Dorothy is a perfect host :-) being very responsive to our questions. We had no concerns or issues! We enjoyed our trips into Santa Fe; the good food and interesting galleries and people we encountered. If you are looking for a quiet, serene environment for some much needed R&R, I cannot recommend this house and location strongly enough! We LOVED it!

Really beautiful property in a sparsely populated area. Every morning we got up and ate breakfast on the back patio and watched birds. Super dark night skies, excellent for star viewing. Feels very secluded, surrounded by greenery. Dorothy was very responsive and was just overall a lovely host. We will definitely be staying here again.

Starry Wonderland
Pat and I felt like we were in Oz, somewhere over the rainbow for sure. The house was clean, neat and easy to use. We felt safe and sheltered across a small stream (seasonal) and down a dirt road to this inviting and well kept home. Dodie was easy to reach and available and her written directions were easy to follow and complete. The house is a straw bale adobe-like home. Cool on hot days and warm frorm the radiant heat in the tile floor. Barbeque and hot tub sit next to a sunny patio for entertaining. It's about 20 mins from Santa Fe and features great restaurants closer (Harry's Road House is fabulous!) We were there seven days and delighted in the quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Many good art books to read if it rains. and close trails and roads to walk to see mountain views. We plan to return.
