The property had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Great location in a quiet neighborhood.

Excellent property. Just what we were looking for. An authentic New Mexico experience!

It was everything I expected and more. Highly recommend.

We had the most wonderful time! The Casita Margarita is clean, charming and quiet. Comfy bed, comfy couch/bed. Plenty of room to hang out with our doggers. All the necessary amenities. Excellent heaters. Coffee maker and nicely equipped kitchen. Lovely yard with a coyote fence that kept our dogs safe from wandering so we could have coffee on the patio and let them sniff about. What an amazing night sky! Wonderful trees and hills very close. We aren't hikers but there are trails close by. Easily access Santa Fe downtown, too. Melissa was so helpful and easy to communicate with. Check-in was a breeze as was check-out. Five stars all around for this lovely, lovely place. We will be back for sure! The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. Very safe.

This was our second stay at this wonderful casita. We just finished a 6000+ mile road trip and needed the comfort that this retreat provides before we returned home. This casita is perfection…hope to return again in the future. Melissa is the quintessential host! Many thanks for sharing this treasure with us.

We could not have been more pleased with this property. It was well located to the Santa Fe Opera as well as the historic downtown. Actually it was well located to everything Santa Fe and the major highways leading north to Los Alamos and the Bandelier National Historical site. The casita itself is charming, has a well stocked kitchen, and is CLEAN. Our host was most informative as to what was happening in Santa Fe, directed us to two groceries, and made herself available throughout our stay. We had a wonderful time. We are recommending this casita to others.

Very comfortable house. Has everything needed. Fast and easy access to Santa Fe Plaza.

This little adobe is a gem! It is perfect for a quiet couples get away. So close to everything while being tucked away in a cozy neighborhood. Love everything about the layout, comfortable bed gracious host and property manager. We will absolutely stay here again!

We had an excellent stay at the casita. A few ants in the bathroom? but easily dealt with. I especially appreciated how easy it was to get in touch with Melissa. We never figured out how to get the one AC to work, but that was probably our ignorance and we were fine without it anyway. We'd stay there again should we have the chance.

This casita was a delightful surprise: so much more than I expected. The attention to so many small details added up to a truly wonderful experience. Melissa was incredibly helpful in answering questions before the trip and assuring all was well upon my arrival. And Cindy is incredibly thoughtful and generous in the many ways she weaves a tapestry of hospitality into her home. Tusuque Canyon is very unique and special for the Santa Fe area: tucked away in a classy neighborhood, next to a stream, a wonderful hiking trail within walking distance, dark night skies, and quietude. La Margarita proved one of the very best lodging experiences I’ve enjoyed!

My daughter and I enjoyed our trip to the Santa Fe area and this cozy rental. The owner welcomed us and was very communicative. The accommodations were clean, pleasant and had what we needed. Would stay again.

I really can’t begin to express the amount of gratitude I have for rescuing me a week early from a different rental that was truly awful during my local home remodel! WiFi and cable TV were very reliable (unlike the previous place) and the artistic details & attention to guests’ potential needs made it so easy to finally relax and focus on some long overdue ME time! Melissa was incredibly responsive, even delivering a new toaster oven and hot plate the same day when the gas oven/range went out. It took a bit of creativity on my part planning single serve meals with no microwave for reheating leftovers and my (admitted) laziness hating to hand wash dishes, but I digress. I imagine most guests will be eating the majority of their meals out during their stay. On that note, I really MUST recommend the Tesuque Village Market!! It’s been a long time family favorite and such quick and easy access from the casita!! Thank you again for the wonderful accommodations! I look forward to returning regularly when I need a staycation and more me time!! ❤️

This is a dream of a place to either tuck in and relax or use as a headquarters for exploring Santa Fe. The location could not be more perfect. It was just what i needed. Beautiful touches everywhere.

This is a lovely casita in Tesuque, wonderfully located with a 15" drive to the plaza, a quick drive to Tesuque Village Market, and easy access to Winsor Trail. It's nicely decorated and has everything one might need to relax and enjoy. Strongly recommended!

As easy as it gets. Had no issues with any part of our trip! Would stay there again.

We have stayed in this fine Casita in Tesuque two years in a row. Its really cozy, warm, and very light for a traditional adobe casita. its only about 12 minutes from everything by car. The quiet nights out in the Valley are the reason we love this place. Very well appointed with nice dishes, furniture, and decent kitchenware. The brand new mini-splits made a huge difference as the weather was starting to get cold. Melissa is a very accommodating and thoughtful host.

Lovely, well equipped casita in a quiet, pretty location. We appreciated the thoughtfulness of the property manager with all the extras that add to a comfortable stay. Will stay again when in area.

Seamless

The property is about 5 miles out of Santa Fe. The drive is quick and easy and you are out of the madding crowd perfect for me my wife and my boxer.

Melissa’s casita is a wonderful and charming place in Tesuque that’s close yet just far enough from downtown Santa Fe to make us feel like we’re isolated. Yet, wishing a few minutes, some great experiences and restaurants. While some of our plans were sidetracked due to mother nature raining on the balloon fiesta and our hike, the casita became our wonderful relaxation place for late morning sleep-ins, relaxing while reading a book and awesome fires in the evening. Things we don’t get much time for back home. It was the perfect place to relax in our home away from home while we enjoyed the awesome experiences in Santa Fe. We highly suggest the casita if you want (need) to relax. Melissa’s approach to service was just perfect. She met us on our arrival, reached out to see if we needed anything and that’s something that every STR owner or manager should be doing. Just adds that extra touch to an already perfect stay.

Clean, quiet, comfortable, peaceful, great hosts, great location....what more could you ask for? The Casa Margarita has everything you could need! It's only a 15 minute drive to the Santa Fe plaza and if you want to hike you have access to the National Forest trails only a half mile walk down a quiet road. The Casa itself is very comfortable with great amenities, well stocked kitchen and a great little outdoor patio area. Very attentive hosts as well. Thanks for a great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay in Tesuque! It was a quick trip into Santa Fe and a beautiful setting! This casita is your happy place! It is decorated with color and happy touches. Melissa is an excellent hostess, she provided apples from her tree and flowers from her garden. The coffee is wonderful and the outdoor seating is peaceful. I can’t think of anything that would make it better - we can’t wait to return!

Pros: -Responsive property manager -Location! -Cozy, well-decorated home Cons: -Not a good value - expensive for what it is. -VERY close to the next-door neighbors. I could hear them cough. -Needs updating - shower heads, paint, tile grout, no microwave (probably too toxic) -Sugar ants! There are instructions on how to treat them with non-toxic chemical but I basically ended up being the exterminator. -Consistent pot stench. It's legal there but it smelled so intense and got stuck inside the house. I indicated I would just deal with it and I was told not to bring "toxic" air fresheners in -Which brings to me to the property manager who communicated (too) often but was unclear in what she was saying or asking. When I brought up the smell of pot, her response was "I'm not sure what you want me to do about it... I will come over and smell it." No thanks

Comfortable, cozy casita perfect for 2 travelers and 4 legged friend. Lots of natural light and artist touches. Privacy fencing with outdoor seating. Peaceful attractive friendly neighborhood only 4 miles from the square in Santa Fe. Host was Melissa was great! Highly recommend his rental!

Melissa is an extraordinary hostess, from booking to checkout. Her charming casita is a perfect home away from home.

Very pleasant place for one or two people. Having an intelligent TV which accesses Netflix, etc. is a real plus.

Perfect location for enjoying Santa Fe. A great hiking trail nearby and less than 10 minutes to the opera.

Everything about this home was wonderful. It is located in a pleasant, convenient area, comfortable, beautifully decorated and accommodating. Melissa was an excellent host! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Everything worked for us. Comfort and style, location, helpful host. Would go back.

So happy we chose this property, Melissa thought of every detail. We’ll definitely stay again.

Great property with a great host! Had everything we needed in a great location. Private, quiet, and peaceful.

What a beautiful setting! Inside and out! Great decor, great location, well equipped, perfect place. My husband and I loved our stay. Thank you Melissa!
