Great stay and decent location. Short easy drive to the plaza. The house was nice and had the Santa Fe charm you would expect!

Super cool property - it felt like we were staying in an art gallery. The house is older but well maintained. Very quiet neighborhood with beautiful rooftop views of Santa Fe. Close to downtown as well.

Our stay was lovely. Homey, spacious, beautiful property and views. Super easy access to SF.Well furnished kitchen. Great kivas.Note: Door from kitchen to outdoor patio needs repair. It auto-locks from the outside, even when set to be unlocked.

Thank you for sharing such positive feedback about your stay and the property. We are glad you enjoyed the space, views, and kitchen. We are sorry about the issue with the kitchen door to the patio and understand how inconvenient that can be. We will look into the door lock so we can better understand what is happening.
The property is beautiful and has lovely Mountain View’s. It’s a great stay for groups and has a large living area for hanging out and relaxing.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Moonstar... close enough to everything to be convenient, but just far enough out that we could enjoy relaxing in the peace and quiet.
House was clean and roomy. Decor was good. Good location. Views from rooftop were beautiful.
We could have used more wine glasses and more coffee cups.
Physical keys and 1 gate opener that you have to pickup and drop off at the management property is a bit of a hassle especially with a larger group. All around though it was a nice place to stay.

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.

Thank you for your review. We're happy you had a fantastic time with us!
Thanks for your trust, we're thankful for amazing customers like you.
We hope to see you again soon!
We stayed several nights. The house is a great size and layout. The rooftop terrace is amazing. We watched the sunset every night. We would stay again. There is an “old house” smell when you first come in but we just opened the windows to air it out. The only issue we had was the spotty internet. Not a big deal unless you have to work.
Overall, a great experience.
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.

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.

Good if you know what to expect
This is the second year we have stayed in this property, and while it is clean, it needs some TLC. For instance one of the kitchen cabinets has a hair band to keep it closed. I had to buy wine glasses. The kitchen needs organization for sure. Things are feeling a bit shabby, in what has been basically a good place to stay.

Stayed the week of Xmas … did lots of cooking the kitchen was very poor . Old appliances.. nothing worked right .. very outdated. Dishes had an old film on them . For what we payed you would think the kitchen would have newer appliances and accessories.

We appreciate you letting us know what can improve in this unit, Chris! I will be sure to relay this feedback to our office so that the necessary changes can happen!
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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your honest review and are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall. We will be sure to address the areas you mentioned that could use some attention, such as the window coverings, fixtures, and the wobbly top step. Our goal is to provide a comfortable and well-maintained property for all of our guests, and your input helps us to continually improve the experience. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.
We loved how secluded the home felt, but we were a quick and easy drive in to Santa Fe. Building a fire every night and hanging out on the patio was a highlight. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking easy for us. The portable A/C unit kept the main room cool during the day and at night we opened the windows in the bedrooms to stay cool. Thankfully, the nights were cool. I'm not sure how it would be in the summer. The internet is very slow and in at least one of the bedrooms we didn't get any coverage. Since we had two students zooming classes, it was a little stressful at times, but as long as the rest of us stayed off the internet when one of them had a class, it worked. All of us agreed that we would be excited to stay there again!

Thank you so much for this 5-star review. We really appreciate you being a customer and helping to share the word about us. We will look info the a/c and internet. We’re here for you anytime.
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!
