Reviews for this vacation house rental in Santa Fe, New Mexico

Santa Fe vacation house rental rating 55/5
A Truly Special Santa Fe Experience
MJKH  Alamosa, CO USA
Review Submitted: June 1, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
I should preface to say that I live within a couple of hours of Santa Fe. It’s almost in my backyard and has been a part of my life for 25+ years. Casa Mariposa was absolutely perfect for our all girl cousin’s reunion! Being the one nearest our destination, it fell on me to find an appropriate place. I did my research and Colorful Santa properties stood out for a variety of reasons. As a first time user of this type of accommodation, I was skeptical and therefore planned a pre-reservation visit of the property. It lived up to its photos and description. We were inclined to another Colorful Santa Fe property but Noel gently nudged us to Casa Mariposa. There are few similar properties out there that have twin beds let alone 4 twin beds (or 2 kings).

There are many other highlights to this property including it’s proximity to the Santa Fe Plaza, shopping, restaurants and cultural sites. Trust me, not having to deal with Santa Fe traffic and parking and being able to walk to Santa Fe highlights is a bonus for all the Colorful Santa Fe properties.

The description and photos are accurate as are the amenities (we had an added bonus of some leftovers in both the refrig and cupboard including spices). Not only would we recommend this property but the other Colorful Santa Fe properties and will not hesitate to return. Be sure and check out the Colorful Santa Fe website. It’s very impressive. Our hosts were accommodating and professional.

Casa Mariposa offers privacy in a local neighborhood, a congenial homey great room with southwest décor including our hostess’ artwork. It was a truly a special Santa Fe experience.
