Exactly what we we're expecting! Peaceful!

Julia is a welcoming and thoughtful host, and her casita in Nambe is a peaceful and restorative place to stay. Very comfortable and quiet. I hope to return.

We spent around two months staying at Julia’s Casita during our summer visit to the lab. The Casita was spacious and well-stocked. It has a big kitchen with everything we needed, which was definitely helpful since we cooked pretty often. The location was nice, close to the lab, and it’s also close to Santa Fe, which has more selection of grocery stores. Julia always responded quickly, and she really cared about our stay and made sure everything was good. We had been enjoyed the interaction with her and her puppy dog, and we would highly recommend the place.

I just spent a month at Julia's Nambe Country Retreat and recommend it in the highest possible terms both as a base for someone working in the area (I was doing work in multiple Pueblos of northern New Mexico) and for a small-family vacation (my wife and daughter joined me for a week over Thanksgiving). The casita offers peace and quiet and all the comforts one could wish for. Julia, who lives in the main house right next door, is a superb, friendly and attentive yet non-intrusive hostess. The views from the casita, the patio and the grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed walks around the immediate area and easy access to Santa Fe, Taos (via the breathtakingly scenic High Road), Los Alamos and the Jemez Mountains. Among places we came to enjoy within a 10-minute drive are the Poeh Cultural Center, three good food options (the Sopaipilla Factory, El Parasol, and especially the hot lunch items in the deli at the Pojoaque Supermarket), the Pojoaque Pueblo Library (which has a phenomenal DVD collection) and -- best of all -- the Pojoaque Pueblo Wellness Center (excellent cardio and weight rooms, gym, swimming pool, racquetball courts and more). We were really happy to have such a well-equipped, low-cost and welcoming workout place so close, especially given our fondness for New Mexican food. If you are looking for top-notch New Mexican food, we would recommend: Rancho de Chimayo (in Chimayo, less than 15 minutes away); El Paragua (Espanola); Tomasita's, the Pantry and La Choza (Santa Fe); and El Charritos and Tia Betty Blue's (Albuquerque).

We stayed for 9 weeks during the summer and found the casita to be comfortable, nicely furnished and stocked, and very peaceful. Julia was a great host who was not intrusive but was always friendly, stopping by to check on us or assuring us she would look out for the casita when we went away for the weekend. We enjoyed the walled-in patio with beautiful potted plants and great views of the sunset, and having a full-size kitchen and laundry in a small place like this was a huge plus. This is a great place either for a short visit or a prolonged stay. PS: to clarify on one of the few negative comments left by a previous reviewer, there is a television set, but there is no cable or TV service. We were easily able to hook up a device to stream content to the television set. Julia was kind enough to offer to buy such device for us if we did not bring our own.
