REVIEWS FROM OTHER LISTING SITE:

~The outdoor space is the highlight of the Hillside Retreat, with plenty of space and seating. In addition, the kitchen is top notch, and the bathroom reminiscent of a spa. The location is ideal as well.~

~You don't have to decide between nature and old Santa Fe! This little gem is perfectly situated to hike the arroyo next to the property or walk into the square for food, shopping and art. The casita is outfitted with everything you need for cooking and the bed was super comfortable. We loved the fireplace on cool days.~
