We really loved this unit and the location, which is about 5 miles north of Santa Fe, in the hills above the village of Tesuque. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The unit is very comfortable and quite private with fabulous views from the lovely patios. ( we could see for miles. Could see the opera, etc.) The unit is nestled in a small condominium community. The two-unit condo clusters are nicely spread out with mature plantings, so you feel like you are off on your own. It does not feel like (and isn't) a condo "complex". There is a lovely pool for the small community. We were here for 6 days and went to the pool every afternoon with our kids (10 and 14). Often had it to ourselves. It was fabulous. The pool also has a ping pong table, which was fun.
Our Unit was a 2br/2ba unit. The living room is very tastefully furnished and has an updated sofa. The bedroom furniture is not updated, but is simple and functional with plenty of room for clothes storage. The bathrooms are also not updated, but they are clean and functional. The kitchen is small and has an updated fridge and dishwasher. We really appreciated that the owner/property manager has left/provided high quality coffee along with other basics like coffee filters, sugar, salt and pepper, spices, foil, plastic wrap, etc. Makes such a difference to not have to buy those things for a short stay!
The kitchen was fine for making breakfast, lunch and a couple of simple (basic) dinners. (It would not work as well for more serious cooking, but that was not our priority!) The unit could use a few more plates, mugs and glasses......
There are two good restaurants in the village of Tesuque: Tesuque Village Market and El Nido. We went to both several times!
We have to give a special shout out to the property managers.
The Two Casitas team was really great. From providing confirmations and check-in information, to immediately providing a new coffee maker when we found that ours was broken, they were fantastic. They also leave guests with a bottle of wine, along with tortilla chips and local salsa. We would absolutely look to rent either this property or another one that is run by them.
The only thing we would suggest is that it would be nice to have two keys for the unit.
