The casita was perfect for my stay. Judt the right size for one person, cozy and comfortable.The hostess is wonderful and made sure i had everything i needed.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Enchanted Sunset Casita! It is beautiful inside and out with a lovely view across the New Mexico landscape - and some gorgeous sunsets! The hosts, Sylvi and Harland, take excellent care of the property and their guests. All of their preparations and our interactions were heart-warming examples of human friendliness, kindness and consideration. It's hard for us to imagine a more enjoyable and lovely place to stay! Thank you, Sylvi and Harland!
Wonderful host! I booked many months in advance, and I appreciate that Sylvi contacted me once in awhile leading up to our stay. This made me feel valued and took away some anxiety from our cross country drive. Such a quiet area that was perfect for our holiday getaway to enjoy the sunshine and birds of the mountains. Traveled with my spouse and 1 small dog. The casita was perfect for the 3 of us, and dog oriented so we didn't feel like our senior fur baby was a burden. We enjoyed having a fireplace for Christmas and it was fitting to the cozy atmosphere of the rest of the house. We will stay again!
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful casita. It’s in a very nice area (Eldorado) and everything was just as pictured. The owners were available if we contacted them and replied quickly to any questions. Definitely a wonderful place to stay.
Enchanted Sunset Casita is super comfortable, super well appointed and is in a gorgeous, quiet location with great views of the mountains. We would give more stars if possible! Sylvie as a host gets high marks for communication and helpfulness. She has provided a warm and nurturing vacation home. Would stay there again in a minute!
The owners are so welcoming. We loved the location, close enough to conveniences while feeling away from crowds. The property has just the right amenities for a comfortable stay.
Location and setting are perfect for a private getaway. Hosts are great people who made sure our stay was total comfort. Easy access to Santa Fe and all other points in northern New Mexico. Highly recommend, miss it already, will rent again next time we visit!
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this enchanted casita. The casita is immaculate, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything travelers need. The hosts are welcoming and attentive. I highly recommend this casita!
Me and my husband along with our miniature schnauzer puppy stayed for 4 nites and we enjoyed our time tremendously. Beautiful view from inside the casita and from the back porch which has a fenced area that is safe for small dogs. The property owners were extremely thoughtful and they left treats for our puppy and us that we found upon check-in. Casita had everything we needed and the bed was very comfortable. It also had a great bathroom with a roomy shower all decorated in Santa Fe style.
The owners were super attentive - wine for my wife, pet treats for our dog, new microwave for our leftovers and gourmet chocolate treats.
The casita was very clean and well appointed. The location is both rural enough to have a country feel with beautiful views of the mountains and wildlife, yet convenient to the grocery store and great local restaurants plus 15-20 minutes to museums and the plaza. Not far to hiking/fishing in the Pecos or the ski-mountain area. We would definitely stay here again!
We spent 9 nights in this private, delightfully decorated, and completely equipped casita in the serene community of eldorado. An easy, short drive to downtown Santa Fe, we loved the peaceful location and availability of good restaurants and grocery shopping. Our hosts made the whole experience perfect!
The Casita was perfect for us - quiet, cozy, scenic and an easy drive into Santa Fe, where we enjoyed great meals and museums. The interior of the house was beautifully decorated and comfortable. Sylvi and Harland were warm and welcoming and extremely helpful. If we return to the Santa Fe area, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
Sylvi and Harland were an absolute delight! They made our experience so special!! Their casita is put together so well and was super cozy!! They literally thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay! We were highly impressed and would definitely stay again!! Thanks again for the amazing hospitality!
We recently had the pleasure of staying 5 days at the Enchanted Sunset Casita. It is perfect for 2, very clean, nice comfortable Queen bed, and in the beautiful location of Eldorado. The hosts/owners are very nice and there when you need them. It is an easy 20 min drive into Santa Fe but has an impressive grocery store within a couple of miles and delicious restaurants just up the road. We enjoyed some great hiking nearby. Highly recommend!
Sylvi and Harland are the best hosts! So kind and thoughtful. The casita is modern but very southwest with amazing decor. So very quiet for the 4th of July! Our dog Chief appreciated the serenity. Don't hesitate to book this property. You won't be disappointed.
My husband and I prefer to stay places that provide peace and an opportunity to enjoy nature. We were not disappointed! The pictures do not do it justice. It’s even nicer! It was just close enough to town. Hosts were very helpful. I’d love to return.
Beautifully designed spanish-style casita, very clean and well-stocked.Privacy, quiet, comfort, amazing views, abundance of interesting birds and little lizards. Pristine landscape of native flora and fauna, clear air and constantly shifting skies.Secluded but close to good local restaurants and short drive to great shops and fine dining in Santa Fe. Thoughtful and considerate hosts.
We spent 5 days at the Casita in Eldorado at Santa Fe. The casita was beautiful, well stocked and the views were to die for. We enjoyed listening to the coyotes and watching the sun set with the local coffee provided. The washer and dryer were an extra bonus so that we didn’t have to scramble to wash clothes when we arrived home. If you want peace and an escape from the city this is the perfect place. If we make our way to Santa Fe again, we will be staying here. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your home.
The Enchanted Sunset Casita is perfectly named -- not only is the casita lovely and serene, but the back sliding doors frame a pretty view of the mountains made even better by the colorful sunsets! Sylvi added so many special touches -- Santa Fe chocolates for us, yummy treats for our dog, special "pup" blankets (and bowls for his food and water), and the sweetest note! The location was perfect for us (near our children and grandchildren), and it was quiet. We enjoyed walking our dog on the dirt road leading to the home, and would have used the trail system, if we'd had more time. We highly recommend this truly enchanted casita!
