Quiet getaway

This home was perfect for my husband and me—tucked away from the hustle and bustle yet just a short drive to everything we needed. It was spotless, had a fresh scent, and everything functioned perfectly. I highly recommend a vehicle with AWD, as mentioned in the listing. We experienced an unexpected snowstorm, making the roads a bit slick and the snowfall heavy, but it was all worth it. We cozied up and enjoyed a peaceful, quiet weekend.

5-Star Review: A Perfect Santa Fe Retreat!

For a quiet retreat and a special 50th birthday trip, this home was absolutely perfect for our week of adventures—Tumble Root for music, hiking nearby, local cuisine, and gallery perusing. It was the ideal size for two people, offering both comfort and charm.Each morning, we enjoyed breakfast and coffee in the peaceful setting of the house, striking a great balance between cooking at "home" and exploring the delicious local cuisine. The location was exactly what we wanted—secluded and tranquil, yet close enough to everything Santa Fe has to offer.The home itself was uniquely decorated, embodying the artistic and cultural essence of Santa Fe. The hot tub was a dream—a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. Dorothy was an exceptional host—warm, welcoming, and incredibly hospitable.If you're looking for a serene escape with easy access to all the best of Santa Fe, this is the place to stay! Highly recommend!

Great Get Away!!!!

This was our 25th wedding anniversary trip and this place will always be special to us! It was the perfect home, just right for 2 people! The location was quiet and looked very Santa Fe! The place we stayed was very clean which I loved! It was a unique neatly decorated home. Lovely places to sit out front and back. The hot tub was amazing! We hope to stay there again soon!

Wonderful home!

We had such a fantastic time at Dodie's place. It is so well designed, super clean and stocked with everything we needed. The furniture, the bed and the layout of the home is superb. Not to mention the gardens and hot tub. I would highly recommend this home and would rent again if we come back to this area. Thank you Dodie!

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!

Secluded and Tranquil

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.

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.

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!

The cabin was extremely clean and very comfortable.

We would highly recommend staying in this cabin, especially if you're a small family. Absolutely beautiful surroundings and you'll find everything you need to have a very relaxing and peaceful vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Dorothy Dean

Host profile image
I've lived in New Mexico for 43 years, loving it the entire time.

Why they chose this property

Close to town but has the old world feeling of the Santa Fe I first met in 1979. Quiet, fresh mountain air; I walk up my road and I am in the Santa Fe National Forest. Beautiful views of the mountains the entire drive out.

What makes this property unique

The lights of the city are occluded which makes twice as many stars visible in the night sky. I love watching meteor showers from my hot tub! It is exquisitely quiet and peaceful and only 15 to 20 minutes to the plaza all along a graceful mountain road without traffic lights and only a few stop signs, no traffic!
