We had a wonderful stay at this amazing place! We were impressed with the home, the furnishings, comfort, the cleanliness, and the responsiveness and great communication with our host. It was in a great location for our activities, with a great restaurant in walking distance, and the neighborhood was quiet and very unique. They thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. We highly recommend it for a stay in Santa Fe.
We appreciated the spacious and very New Mexico-themed accommodations, and our ability to bring pets (with a reasonable fee). Gorgeous house, great location in Tesuque village, and overall great experience.
We loved our stay at this charming adobe casita. Two wonderful restaurants are five minutes away. Tesuque is a beautiful area. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We will be back!!!

Holly, we're so happy to hear that you loved your stay with us! We agree, the location this homes offers is great for being near the all the local hot spots. Our team does its best to make sure our guests are well taken care of and we're so happy to hear that this was the case for you. We would love to be able to host you again in the future!
Everything about the stay deserved five stars... from the communication with the property manager to the location and comfort of this beautiful home. We had everything we needed for our much needed getaway. Close enough to all the shopping and restaurants but far enough that it was so tranquil (as the ad states). The secret garden was a plus and we spent a lot of time enjoying the nice weather out on the patio with our dog who had plenty of space to explore the garden. We are already booking our second trip back here and are so thankful this place is available.

Thanks so much for the great review! We are so glad you found everything to be worthy of five stars. We can't wait to see you back at Secret Garden soon!
Fabulous location ~ felt totally safe in this home as a woman traveling alone. Garden was blooming while I was there and it was welcoming and beautifully designed. Lots of fabulous art work in the house. Absolutely appreciated the welcome gift ~ the salsa was phenomenal! Dog park just 10 minutes away by car. House was clean and had everything I needed to be comfortable.

Julie, we're so happy to hear that you had a fabulous stay with us! Our team works hard to ensure our homes provide a clean, safe, and most of all comfortable space for our guests and we're glad this showed for you. We love giving our guests a taste of Santa Fe with some chips and salsa as a warm welcome and we're glad you loved it. We would love to be able to host you again in the future!
Clean, well maintained and nicely decorated home. Nice location. Enclosed courtyard good for dogs but there are dogs next door who want your dog to know it’s their turf :) Bathroom awkward because of sink location and door won’t stay closed but good storage for your toiletries. Great kitchen, excellent oven/stove. Beds too hard, but that’s just me. I had to sleep on the couch but wouldn’t work for tall person. I would have appreciated some literature in the house for things to do in the area, but did appreciate the chips, salsa and wine. Courtyard has lovely fruit tree and good outdoor seating. Other than that, I think it has great potential for a wildflower garden for more color. I am also uncomfortable with any uncovered windows but they are covered in the bedrooms. **The steps going up to the house and into every threshold needs to be mentioned in the ad, as older people, especially, could easily fall**

Thank you for the review! We are so sorry about the neighbor's dog. He has generally not disturbed our guests for the many years we have been managing this home, so we are going to have a conversation with the neighbor to see what can be done to make this home's front yard more peaceful.
Future guests should be aware that we have medium firm mattresses at all Two Casitas homes. We will send our handyman to look at the bathroom door, as we have not had anyone mention that it cannot close before. The layout is a little bit quirky due to the age of the home. The stairs are mentioned in the property guide and check-in instructions that we send to all guests. Two Casitas always sends a local area guide to every guest along with their check-in instructions. Any guests requesting further recommendations are encouraged to communicate with our friendly and knowledgeable reservationists!
Charming Adobe Home with a Few Noise Considerations
Two Casitas is a VRBO that boasts a beautifully decorated and charming Adobe home. While there were several positive aspects to my stay, I must mention one notable downside that affected the overall tranquility of the experience.
Let’s start with the positives. Two Casitas truly captures the essence of Adobe architecture with its well-thought-out interior design. The attention to detail in the decor is remarkable, and I found myself admiring the artwork and furniture that enhanced the overall ambiance. The home’s charm and character create a warm and inviting atmosphere that is hard to resist.
However, there is one aspect that needs improvement. Unfortunately, the neighborhood surrounding the home has a considerable number of dogs, which significantly impacted the desired peacefulness. In particular, the two large dogs next door seemed to bark incessantly throughout the day and well into the evening. Another small dog on the opposite side yapped occasionally, within feet of the open window. This constant noise disrupted the serenity of the setting and made it challenging to fully relax or enjoy the quiet moments.
This is a lovely home in a convenient location, but not a quiet retreat for relaxing.

Greg, thank you for sharing your experience at the home with us. We agree, the home reflects an authentic Southwestern style and it sure to make for an unforgettable experience. It truly allows you to live like a local while you're here in Santa Fe! That being said, this home is in a local neighborhood and it is true that many neighbors in the area have dogs. There are a lot of dogs in the neighborhood, but they have not shown to be disruptive to the vast majority of previous stays.
The property itself is lovely. Nice and clean and a beautiful garden to hang out in. Where there is a problem is with the neighbors dog and I noticed this has been mentioned before in reviews. He barked a little the first and last night but on our second night he barked very loudly and aggressively starting about 9:30pm and barked constantly until after 2:30am. He was in the yard behind the house and the fence is a few feet off the back bedroom wall. The whole house echoed with the noise. I am a dog person so I normally would not complain about a dog but no one in the house was able to sleep. My husband and I managed the next day on little sleep but my 86 year old mom missed out on a whole day of fun in SF because of being so tired. Again the house itself is awesome just something needs to be done about the dog next door.
This home has a ton of character, with great art and furnishings throughout. The front garden and fountain was just what the doctor ordered! Communication with the owners was great.

Thanks for the great review! We are so glad that you enjoyed the home as much as we do. We hope we'll see you again next time you're in Santa Fe!
I loved my time in this home. Lots of special details and everything we needed for a week in the Santa Fe area. Super clean! Convenient to Santa Fe and removed from the crowds.

Very pleasant. We saw an opera for the first time, visited the tourist mecca, and always enjoyed the peace of returning to the casita. We hope to stay here again.
