I had a wonderful stay at Jay and Geraldine's dome. It was beautiful inside and out and a great experience to stay in such a unique structure. I loved all of the artwork and curated items in the home and the absolutely beautiful plants - the jade tree was spectacular! The view was reason enough to stay there with the train tracks and a trail right at your feet but the view from the long horizontal windows inside was also breathtaking. It was a great location, at the end of a long road so it was quiet, but it was also a quick drive to anywhere in Santa Fe you wanted to explore. I met Jay and Geraldine the morning I was leaving, and they were warm, kind and lovely to talk with.
This was our 2nd stay and it was just as perfect as our first. Itâs the loveliest dome home with stellar views and incredible walking paths right out the door. A definite must book location that is close to everything while allowing for privacy and peace.
This home is wonderful- comfortable, quiet, clean and well appointed and the hosts are kind and thoughtful. Come here if you want a calm and soothing atmosphere. The walking trail is great and itâs right outside the property. Please donât come when I want to be there. :)
A wonderful small house with great outside space for watching the nightly sunsets. Close enough to town to easily drive in for activities / restaurants but far enough away to be quiet and to enjoy the natural surroundings. Adjacent to a well-maintained walking trail. Very gracious hosts and an all-around lovely stay.
Jay and Geraldine are lovely people and their place has everything you need. The location is quiet and beautiful. I appreciated having a place that provided some solitude and relaxation. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for making me feel welcome and providing everything necessary for my stay.
You will not be disappointed with both the views or the property. Its about 15 minutes outside of Santa Fe so it is nice and quiet, no city hustle and bustle. It is right next to a very nice waling trail that's great for bikes as well. Jay and Geraldine are great hosts and are very fun to talk to. The next time we go to Santa Fe this is very much so on our list!
This is the home of the hosts working artists with studio on the property. They move into a nearby, smaller dome when this is booked.
They are nearby, but never an obtrusive presence. Delightful, helpful, responsive, kind, and generous.
Their home is tastefully furnished, totally comfortable, better equipped than any rental where I have stayed before. (I have stayed in many).
I would stay here again and again. Friends who live in Santa Fe who saw the property wanted details so they could have visitors stay there.
Love at first sight and for the rest of my ten days there.
The pet friendly dome is very comfortable with every amenity you can think of.The setting is gorgeous and feels remote even though it is just a 15 minute drive to town. The lovely hosts are artists and their work can be enjoyed throughout the house. There is a wonderful walking/hiking/cycling
trail just steps away making morning and evening dog walks a treat. Staying in the dome was a special experience and I highly recommend it!
I consider Jay and Geraldine two of my closest and dearest friends since first staying in their breathtaking dome for practically a decade! The views are incredible, you are steps away from a trail in the high desert, and just 14 minutes away from the Plaza, all the shops, restaurants, and museums. A day trip to Taos is a must if you have the time. We look forward to our visit throughout each year. Jay and Geraldine are infinitely warm, welcoming, and accommodating. The surrounding nature, natural spas, museums, yoga, vegetarian offerings, galleries, and tasty food are all outstanding.
Can't say enough about what a great place to stay this was. A little architectural gem of a house, compact without feeling small, filled with funky vintage furniture and beautiful art(much of which was made by the hosts).
Fantastic location-15 Minutes from Santa Fe downtown area, but very rural and peaceful. Great rail trail steps away at the end of the road -look for "Rusty" at the trailhead! Beautiful views and great stargazing. Grocery store a few minutes away for essentials and be sure to grab some breakfast at the Fina Cafe.
Jay and Geraldine are wonderful hosts. Jay left us excellent coffee to start our days. Many helpful suggestions from both for things to do, places to eat and sights to see.
The place to stay if you're visitng Santa Fe. We're already planning when we can come back!
The house is extremely well designed. Perfectly laid out, functional with a peaceful ambiance. I prefer to be here when visiting Santa Fe because it is easy to get to town when I need to. Big bonus is the sunset view! Excellent access to walking trails (locals come here for walking, running, and biking). Love the hosts!
Our expectations were exceeded with this magical stay. It was exactly as described and even more lovely than we could have imagined. The views within the dome are extraordinary. Sunrise and sunset are not to be missed within its cozy confines.
The space is well equipped with every thing one might need for a short or long stay. Jay and Geraldine are incredibly accommodating and gracious hosts. Both exceptional artists with a beautiful studio that they kindly let us tour.
The property is beautiful and backs up to a fantastic trail system with mountain views. Such a joy to have this access right out the door since we had our dog with us. The isolated location also gives way to the most wonderful star gazing. A truly marvelous experience as we gazed upon a star filled sky on the first night of 2024.
Thank you Jay and Geraldine for sharing your enchanting space and gifting us many memories for years to come. We hope to be back!
Immersive New Mexico Experience w/ Modern Convenience.
The dome is a very comfortable, modern dwelling, with a personalized touch. What makes it special are the surroundings, tucked into the juniper dotted high desert of New Mexico, with fantastic views across a valley--sunsets over the mountains--brief coyote serenades once each evening, and opportunities for star gazing. Yet, this property offers easy access to the main highways to Santa Fe. The owners are very kind and generous with their time and knowledge.
Love being away from the hubbub of the plaza. Love that the Santa Fe trail was literally out in front of us. Fantastic place and believe me we will be back.
The property is secluded, with outdoor seating to enjoy the view. And trails to walk if you choose. Thereâs a full kitchen and a comfortable bed. Plenty of sightseeing in the area. And the hosts, Jay and Geraldine, are friendly and informative. We had a wonderful stay, and hope to go back again.
Couldn't have had a better stay. Beautiful accomodations that were well kept. Enjoyable interactions with Hosts that went beyond what might have been required. They shared much information about the surrounding area that made my stay even more enjoyable. Will definitely return if I make it back to Santa Fe.
Jay and Geraldine's wonderful dome is our favorite of all the places we've stayed over the years. It is a peaceful and quiet location with beautiful views and walking trails, impeccably and tastefully furnished, supplied with all modern conveniences, and with the most generous and accommodating hosts--there's nothing more to wish for in a home away from home.
