Perfect for a Scenic Retreat

This location, the hosts, and the country home could not have been better. Perfect for a quiet getaway, had everything I needed and then some, and close (but not too close) to all that I wanted to see and do. HIGHLY recommend.

Quiet & peacful

Definitely enjoyed our stay! Had a lot of fun with my family. Nice little place to stay, plenty of space since there were 6 of us. Didn't have signal a lot of the time but gave us a chance to disconnect from the phones for a bit. Overall a nice place to stay, very quiet and peaceful.

Wonderful place to stay

Tom's rental was so quiet and clean and he provided absolutely everything we might need - including condiments and salad dressing! It was out in the country but easy to get to and not far from Santa Fe. The one time we had a question (because we couldn't figure something out) he responded right away. Easiest and most beautiful place I've ever stayed.

If you want peace and quiet, cozy ,homey place, well equipped , great host.THIS IS THE PLACE! Great place to watch the eclipse on your private patio. Everything you need is there. Now if you are looking for 5 star accommodations, and are picky about your thread count,go find a hotel in SF. This place feels like home! Wonderful

Peaceful retreat

This is the second time we have been here and we love it. So peaceful out in the country, so relaxing. And yet convenient for day trips to Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and even Taos. We loved having our morning coffee out on the patio with the refreshing views... great way to start the day. Loved the meditation tower... great sunsets and views in all directions. We will be back.

Peaceful and scenic getaway

The house was amazing and very spacious. The loft was super fun with a great ladder leading up to it. The location was so peaceful and perfect for star gazing. We loved the meditation tower and wish we could have stayed much longer!

Santa Fe Retreat

Easy to get anywhere in Santa Fe and surrounding area. A great place to stay for quiet and to enjoy the beauty of the area. It was wonderful staying in an area where houses are spaced out and almost no traffic on the road. The teens loved the loft; it was their own private vacation spot. Patio is a great place to sit in the morning and evening. The kitchen really is equipped with everything you need, and the grilll works well. Tom is an attentive host.

Excellent. Just what I wanted. Great Value

I was extremely pleased with this experience. The house was clean, neat and well maintained. I wanted the desert living experience without being too far from Santa Fe. Quiet, peaceful. The owners were excellent communicators and there were no problems. Very spacious. A good value for the price. Would stay again.

Great desert location

Easy access to Santa Fe, while still being truly in the desert. The loft was great for my partner and I, as we like a firm bed, and the thin cushions worked out well. Everyone in our group loved hearing the wildlife each morning!

Quiet and peaceful

My husband and I came to Santa Fe area to get away and wanted to stay in the country instead of in town. This was perfect for us. We had quiet evenings by the fire. But it is still close to restaurants and town. Stars at nights were amazing. The price is great and plenty of space.

Roadshow fun

Everything ready when we arrived. Would love to of had a TV in the bedroom. Needed stopper for bathtub. Needed a warning about the huge low rocky river bed dip. Truck made it, but it would be difficult for small vehicles low to the ground. Place spacious and views fantastic. Great price!

Comfortable and Beautiful

Property is at a high point overlooking the surrounding area. Seems remote, but is only 15-20 minutes from nearest sweet town with an excellent restaurant, with probably more good eateries than the one we tried. Directions are very good, although finding the house for the first time in the dark would be extremely difficult. Don't try it. The host is very friendly, available if needed, but not intrusive. A perfect host. Everything we needed for our stay was easily available in the house, in the small town, or at the grocery about 30 minutes away.

Best of Both Worlds

This is beautiful, authentic adobe home. It is located in a very quiet country setting; yet you are only 10-15minutes south of Santa Fe. Tom's home is fully equipped. The sound system and the CD collection are awesome. There is also great wood burning fireplace. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. Thanks Tom!

Peaceful and lovely

This was the perfect getaway for a life milestone for me. The house was clean and had everything I could have wanted. Tom has done a great job of supplying the house with whatever may come up. The scenery was beautiful. I liked being outside the city and in the country so the short drive out of Santa Fe never bothered me. It also opened me up to exploring more of the New Mexico area. I would absolutely stay again should I be in the area and highly recommend it to anyone.

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Berkes

I built my home and have enjoyed Santa Fe country living for many years. Traveling, sailing, cooking playing music are a few of my interests.

Why they chose this property

The casita was originally built as a music studio, then having rented it for a few years long term I wanted visitors to get the country experience while visiting Santa Fe.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful with a tower for meditation, prayer or just enjoying the view.
