Boasting authentic Southwestern touches like kiva fireplaces, viga ceilings, and a stunning 360-degree view rooftop deck, Moonstar offers the perfect retreat for guests seeking a quintessential New Mexico experience.

Prepare to be captivated by the outdoors before you even step inside. The enormous rooftop deck is the star, providing unobstructed 360-degree views of the mountains, valley, and endless New Mexico sky, perfect for sunrise coffee or sunset cocktails. The large, professionally landscaped garden, complete with statuary and man-made ponds, offers various spots for quiet contemplation.

The moment you enter this home, you are greeted by the warmth of authentic Southwestern design. The gleaming great room features handsome viga ceilings, long banks of windows, and a cozy kiva fireplace, creating a relaxing atmosphere for your group’s downtime. The room is equipped with comfortable leather sofas (one converting to a queen bed) and a huge HDTV with free Netflix. The heart of the home is the fully stocked kitchen, boasting sparkling stainless-steel appliances and a wide selection of chef's tools, complemented by multiple dining spaces, including a sunny breakfast nook and an elegant formal dining room.

This spacious home ensures everyone in your party enjoys a restful night. The primary suite is a luxurious escape, featuring a king-sized bed, a private kiva fireplace, a flat-screen TV, and a spa-like en suite bath with two separate vanities, a fabulous soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. The remaining three bedrooms—two with queen beds and one with a double—each offer their own luxe touches, including kiva fireplaces, French doors, and big windows with garden views. With three full bathrooms, including two that serve the guest bedrooms and common areas, the "morning rush" is easily managed.

The convenient Museum Hill location places you within steps of Santa Fe’s most renowned cultural attractions. Spend the day exploring the Museum of International Folk Art, the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, and the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, all located right on the hill.

Moonstar was Great!

Only one small issue was the wifi. We had some difficulty with login, but resolved without contacting management. Had a great fire in the fireplace each night. Wife loved the large bathtub. It's a great place for our 7 that we brought. With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, everyone had plenty of space. The view from the roof was fantastic.

Location is exceptional

This home is signature Santa Fe—anadobe with tile and brick floors, big as throughout, with lots of Southwest art and decor. All the necessary amenities were provided. The only disappointments were that the blinds had no cords to let in the beautiful SF light and the dishwasher wasn’t fixed after being told a plumber would be sent. The fans and window ac units were very much appreciated and took care of kate aftrn heat before it gets cool in the evenings. All in all, would stay at this property again.

Beautiful House and Location, Needs A Little Love

We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed our visit to Santa Fe. The house is large and comfy and great for a big group or family reunion with lots of private space. Our only feedback would be that the property appears to be in need of a refresh and a little TLC...for instance, the window coverings are paper shades and if you lift them up, you'll see peeling paint and some wood damage underneath. Fixtures are old and a few things didn't work (nothing major that impacted our stay.) Really nothing that a good fresh coat of paint and a nice deep cleaning of the house wouldn't fix. The decor is really lovely and in the true Santa Fe spirit. The roof deck has amazing views and was used by all. The top step is a little wobbly, again, a simple fix. Overall, a great place that we'd visit again.

Mixed Feelings

This property has so much potential hence the title mixed feelings. My profession is a realtor and I travel a lot during the year. My family and I visit Santa Fe a couple times a year. The features I really liked about this property are location, the size of the house and lot, And the accommodations for large group with pets. The house can comfortably sleep eight people. I’m sure when this house were newer it was a fabulous property. However, I can fairly say that it is just tired and time for the home to be freshened and modernized. The walls and trim Definitely need to be repainted and all of the mattresses need to be replaced. Pretty uncomfortable. The management company did bring us a topper for one of the mattresses where you can fill the springs when you lay on it. The two leather chairs in the living room are torn and the sleeper sofa needs to be replaced. All of the sheets were very scratchy. Maybe too much starch. Most of the kitchen equipment is very old and very little kitchen tools to use if you’re cooking. We had to go out and buy wooden spoons and a mixer. The glassware is very minimal and what is there is very old. The tv’s need to be replaced by smart tvs so guests can stream. The throw blankets in the den are rough like tapestry. The lighting throughout the yard does not work so it is very dark and hard to see where you are walking or driving up the driveway. This has the potential to be a 5 star rating but it’s not right now.

August stay at Moonstar

This is a very lovely home, but unfortunately, does need some minor repairs and updating. The bedrooms and living areas are all well appointed. The home is NOT air conditioned - important for those considering a summer stay. The management company did bring in portable AC units, which made sleeping more comfortable, but the living areas could be warm in the afternoons. The roof deck is GORGEOUS at night to sit, enjoy a drink, and chat with friends. The only other drawback was a little rodent visitor, but all in all, a nice stay.

A Cozy Retreat

Everyone enjoyed their stay here! Upon arrival, we got to experience the great desert yard and views from the rooftop patio. It's close to town and not far from the mountain for skiing. The family spent most of the time hanging in the large kitchen, sitting by the outside fireplace, and catching sun on the rooftop patio. The dogs loved the open space to run and explore, but bring your tweezers as there are tons of ground cacti and you'll be plucking needles from their paws and legs frequently. They loved it nonetheless! We also experienced about 12" of snow throughout most of our trip - it was so lovely! I don't know if this is particularly normal weather for Santa Fe or if we experienced a fluke winter storm. As other reviews have mentioned, the dishwasher is not great - it leaves a gritty white residue on everything that may be solved by using a simple rinse aid. The mattress in the master bedroom has a dip in it that was pretty uncomfortable. An additional gate opener would also be super convenient for larger groups. Those minor things aside, we all had a great time and agreed that we would definitely stay here again!

Private Retreat

The house is very private with a very large, natural yard, and lots of amazing art. The roof deck has amazing views. Very well stocked and comfortable. It would be helpful to have wood and lighters for all the wonderful fireplaces, or at least recommendations on where to buy it, we found wood and lighters at Ace Hardware.

Gorgeous property!

We had a great stay for a week in August. Our party was 4 adults and 3 children under the age of 5, and we felt that there was plenty of room to stretch out. We could even take the kids on “nature walks” on the property. The views could not have been better. The only complaint we had was that the appliances in the kitchen could have used some updating - the fridge had trouble staying cold and the dishwasher never really seemed to get the dishes completely clean. Otherwise a perfect stay!

Nice home…

Enjoyed our stay at this property. It’s very convenient to the Plaza, shopping, and Ski Santa Fe. The home is roomy and layer out well. We did have a couple of issues. The home really smelled of cigarette smoke. We had to buy some Febreeze spray and plug-ins. Got back home with stinky clothes. Also, the dishwasher did not drain properly, and water collected in the bottom. It had an unpleasant odor.

Accommodates family visiting settings and large dining table.

The home was comfortably clean but had two pretty big issues. The main one was a dishwasher that did not drain and so had stagnant water in the bottom for who knows how long. The other was two sinks in the master bedroom that did not drain well.

False advertising!

This property, whilst looking beautiful from the outside and inside, is severely flawed. After arriving, we realised that the advertised AC was not working. After calling and informing the property management company we were simply told that the the AC isn't working. Nothing else, just that it wasn't working and that's it. The property management team had a horrible customer service team and even after calling the emergency number to resolve the issue, no one showed up to install the AC units. One would expect that in New Mexico, over the summer where the temperature can get extremely high, the AC would surely be functioning. NOT AT ALL, at least at this property. Anyone potentially looking at this place, I highly recommend you look somewhere else, unless you want to get cooked in the house over the summer months.
