Three of us gathered at this house, centrally located to the Railyard district and the plaza. We loved staying here.
Sandy, an artist, said "this is so well decorated - just right without being cluttered." White interior walls, spacious furnishings - couch, chairs, dining table/chairs, wall decor - it all flowed together without anything standing out - everthing worked tastefully together.
The kitchen was well stocked. It was nice to have a large refrigerator and stove. We primarily ate out, but kept nuts/breakfast food/fruit/chips/salsa/cheese in the refrigerator.
Nice selection of plates, glasses (including wine glasses, wink), & coffee mugs.
Each one of us had her own bedroom, which was nice. We each had to check in at home for work or with family, so having some space to do this privately helped. Beds were very comfie.
2 baths also gave us some space to do our thing without having to wait in line.
Things we did:
Folk Art Museum/Botanical Gardens
Georgia O'Keeffe Museum
Oja Caliente Spa
Bandelier National Monument - hiking through ancient adobe village (remnants of) - petrogliphs - about 1 hr from Santa Fe
Walking Canyon Road Art Galleries
Where we ate:
Unique - Kakawa Chocolate House - drink chocolate (unique) or eat hand made chocolates. Ice cream.
Famous - Cafe Pasqual's - we were able to get on the list for a late lunch in May. Good food. Fun/colorful atmosphere. Three-dimensional representation of a snow goose (!) and other paper mache objects.
The Shed - to die for margaritas in different flavors - try the ginger - or prickly pear - dinner was great outdoors.
Tomasitas - outdoor dining if we wanted - good food.
REI was helpful across from the train station - footwear and jackets were especially helpful.
We used Uber and walked in Santa Fe.
The day we went to Bandelier we rented a car from Avis at
1946 Cerrillos Rd, Santa Fe, NM 87505.
Santa Fe is a great tourist town which felt very homey and not as busy in early May. Charlotte's property was perfect for the three of us!
