This is a wonderful get away. The host is absolutely the best we have experienced. Nestled in the foothills on Old Santa Fe Trail. There is a wonderful health and swim facility close. Museum Hill is close and town/plaza. Highly recommended!!

My wife and I (mid - late 70’s) were at the Casita for 8 nights. While nicely appointed, we found it a bit claustrophobic toward the end of our stay. We had no contact with or from our hosts. A word of caution for those of our generation or those with mobility challenges. The dozen dirt framed steps down to the entry are uneven and could be tricky. Of greater concern is the downhill dirt driveway that offers but limited vision and traction when leaving the property to access the narrow 2-lane Hwy to get anywhere.

Bettina’s Northern New Mexico casita was a quiet getaway on the Old Santa Fe Trail. Cozy and welcoming, Bettina has created a space I will remember fondly.

This was a wonderful place to be for my Thanksgiving. Bettina is a superb hostess who gives attention to the details. She was very welcoming and there were some unexpected additional comforts. Thank you!

Acceptional views, unique birds, stars galaore and peaceful.

Convenient quick and affordable

The owners have thought of everything to ensure a very comfortable stay, down to the smallest details. Every need is met, and more. We very much appreciated the treats and food waiting for us upon arrival - so welcoming and thoughtful. This very small house is extremely clean, and for being so compact, is very well laid out. We loved coming back each day to sit outside and enjoy the quiet, green surroundings. It is well located for visiting downtown Santa Fe, and surrounding sights. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.

A very comfortable and cozy place, away from traffic noise. Surrounded by forest, one hears only bird music and wind whistling through fir trees. We lived this getaway!

My partner and I stayed at Bettina's property for a week as we explored Santa Fe and Taos. It was a clean and cozy tucked into a beautiful landscape. After a long trip caused by many Southwest Airline delays, we were grateful for the food and welcome sign we saw when we walked in. We were also pleased that the wi-fi and cable worked well, as we find sometimes this is not the case in all cabins we've stayed in.

Located in the hills southeast of Santa Fe, this compact and charming cottage is a peaceful retreat from the heat and activity of the city, which is only 20 minutes away.

Really nice property, secluded and provided all I needed.

VBRO’s search filter function has major flaws - but despite no W/D - I really enjoyed my 3 weeks stay. {the Solarno Laudromat was clean, safe and friendly - only 20 min away}. The studio had everything else you might need, was supplied with some goodies on. Arrival, and had a reverse Osmosis water tap for some wonderful cold clear water. Great place to stay!

Very comfy little place and supplied with several goodies after a long day travel!

We were so pleased with our stay. The property met our needs very well. The hosts were responsive to all our questions and needs. We will definitely be back!

I stayed here for 9 days while finalizing details for my upcoming move to the area. The property worked great as a location for me to work remote during the day & have a little yard for my dog to enjoy. The wifi worked great and supported my remote working needs. I had no cell phone signal the whole time, so be prepared for that if you are staying in the area. The casita was very lovely, clean and worked great for my needs. Only difficulty was the dog walking directly from the venue was not the best due to being on a windy road with very little shoulder. This was not an issue in the evenings as we just went somewhere for a hike but morning dog walks were hard. I would still stay here again, however something worth noting for others looking to stay with 4 legged companions.

Very cute and clean little casita. Beautiful private patio. The host stocked the casita with essentials and even a few little treats! Parking is a little tight if you have a large vehicle. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends!

The hostess is very easy to communicate with and generously stocked the property with food essentials. The casita is well appointed and impeccably clean. Excellent privacy and quiet. More than adequate kitchen space, and, again very well supplied with kitchenware. Outside of town (which we wanted) by a short drive yet conveniently located. Very pet welcoming

First time in Santa Fe. Great experience. Very Very clean. Nicely welcomed. Everything you need. Close to the Plaza.

We spent three nights at this property We have visited Santa Fe quite a bit staying down town mostly. This place was out Santa Fe Trail Road up in the hills a bit. Very quite and completely enjoyable. Accommodations were very good and the owner did a great job with making the experience very thoughtful down to the last detail. We will certainly recommend and stay here again.

Literally. So clean smelling, being amongst the pines was so peaceful. Great place to do yoga and meditate or relax and read. Yet not too far from the rest of civilization. Loved it.

I can’t say enough positive things about this property and the owners. Not only is it up in the mountains overlooking the forest, but it is an easy drive to anywhere in town. The owners were especially friendly and welcoming. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook evening meals and breakfast. We had plenty of room to relax inside and outside of the casita. Our dog felt right at home and loved to lay out on the patio. The stay was made extra special because we were welcomed with essentials in the refrigerator, fresh ground coffee, chocolates, and lovely flowers. When we return to Santa Fe, we will definitely staying at this property again.

I was very impressed with this property. The owners contacted me before with directions to the house because some map apps are not correct. The first time finding the spot the app was really close but it was nice to have the instructions. The property was very clean and nice, I felt very comfortable. We enjoyed the fireworks in Santa Fe but it was so nice to escape them by getting out of town. We had lots of activities going during the day but it was so nice to come back to a wonderful bed and feel relaxed and rejuvenated the next day. On the way to the property you pass a restaurant, something Roadhouse. please stop there, the food was amazing! We wanted to try a bunch of places but this one was a top contender as far as delicious foods go. I had the breakfast burrito and my wife had the special, blue corn chocolate pancakes, it was amazing. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone thinking about staying in Santa Fe, its a little ways out of the City but having a mountain retreat that close was perfect for us! Thank you

Really nice cottage about 15 minutes from town. Would rent it again and appreciated the starter groceries left for us.

This lovely & peaceful casita was perfect for us! It was quiet, clean, restful & fully equipped. Wonderful private outdoor patio (with hammock), where we spent quiet morning & evenings with our small dogs. The location is perfect too! It's a quick & easy drive in to Santa Fe. Highly recommend this property.

I needed a place to sit in quiet and ease some of the burdens we all face at times. This little casita is simply stunning in every detail..the furnishings, the artwork, the beautiful courtyard/garden. Yet all the conveniences you need, and the real world is very close by if you need it!!! The owners are excellent at communicating, yet give you your space. I can’t say enough about my experience, and highly recommend it to travelers.

A wonderful place - clean and stylish, in a beautiful location so handy to Santa Fe and surrounding areas. We spent our time here relaxed, happy and comfortable. There is such a safe and peaceful atmosphere here and I gladly offer my highest recommendation, especially to those who might just want to write, reflect, or simply relax. And did I mention our dogs were delighted to be here! They sure seemed like it! Thank you to Bettina and Rama. We loved it.

We really enjoyed the cassita! It was peaceful and quiet. Our dog had a good time too! Thank you Bettina for having the essentials for a breakfast in the fridge and the wine and chocolates! And the flowers.

My husband and I stayed 3 nights with our two dogs. It was a lovely little home and we were comfortable there. It’s in a great location. Bettina and Rama were wonderful hosts. We will definitely be back in the fall!

This place is amazing. The hosts are fantastic and took great care to decorate the house with many personal touches. Fully stocked kitchen with many gracious amenities, nice linens and beautiful construction finish inside and out. Just off the beaten path enough for peace and quiet yet very close to the heart of Santa Fe. We will be back, guaranteed.

Bettina and Rama have put together the perfect getaway in the hills just below Santa Fe. The casita was very clean, well-equipped and charming for 2 vacationers. We also found extras such as eggs, fresh fruit, coffee and chocolate available to us. The kitchen has all you need and the bed is very comfortable. Shower worked well with plenty of hot water. Secluded and very quiet but not far from town and restaurants or downtown Santa Fe (15 min.) Would highly recommend this property. Fred and Sue Mazza, Vero Beach, Fl.

We absolutely loved this property just outside Santa Fe. We brought our dogs and they had a nice secure place to relax while we went to town. Bettina made our visit so exceptional! She had fresh ground coffee, fruit, eggs, and other staples, creating a welcoming beginning to our vacation. She was very attentive to our needs and we will be staying at Casita Bettina again in the future for sure!

My wife and I could not have been more pleased with the cabin or with the host and hostess. The cabin had everything we needed or wanted, including a secure back yard for our two Westies. Everything was spotless, and the refrigerator was kindly stocked with a few essentials that added to the comfort of our first day. The cabin is twenty minutes from Santa Fe city center, where we went often. We found several really nice restaurants and entirely too many shopping opportunities on and near the square. Another forty minutes up the road is Los Alamos, and an hour beyond that is Angle Fire. We made those two destinations on separate day trips during our nine great days at the cabin, and both were memorable. The mountain hike at Angle Fire was one of our best all time vacation experiences. We are looking forward to our next trip to Santa Fe, and for sure we will be staying here or we won't be going. It was that nice.
