We really appreciated the layout, living space and all of the amenities in the house. Everything was clean and super cozy. We loved being in the house over the holidays and would definitely return!
Stayed here with my mother for a long weekend. Everything was lovely: the kitchen was well appointed, rooms were clean with beautiful local art, and the garden was just starting to bloom. The place had everything we needed and was delightfully quiet in the evenings. Close to everything we wanted to do. Great communication from the hosts! We would 100% stay here again the next time we come to Santa Fe.
Our group of two couples truly enjoyed our stay at this historic property, situated between Canyon Road and Museum Hill. The home was beautifully decorated, updated and well equipped with things like a six burner Wolf range, beautiful riginal artwork and lighting. We enjoyed the small seating area outside, with BBQ, firepit, and the like. We highly recommend it.
Housing is very close together in neighborhood. Clean, good feel to house. Small parking area, if have a large vehicle. It is a short drive to downtown area. Well stocked kitchen.
Well built home with 3 splits for AC/heat. Advice: if visiting in winter and coming direct from airport: pick up your own firewood for the 2 fireplaces plus coffee.
My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Casa Viga after the VRBO we originally booked had an issue that left it inhabitable. After all the stress, it was great to stay in a comfortable and worry free environment. Location is close to all that Santa Fe has to offer and we spent a few cozy nights in front of the fireplace. Richard went the extra mile and was able to move up our check in time due to our situation. Would definitely stay here again in warmer weather to enjoy the fire pit and outdoor areas. Thank you - it was a great place to ring in the new year!
Wonderful place in Santa Fe-- very quiet and comfortable
The place was wonderful. Very comfortable, very well equipped and very quiet. Everything was spotless throughout.
All furnishing and appliances were high end and well maintained. We didn't use any of the outside features, but everything inside was perfect including great internet service.
Communication with the owner was quick and very helpful.
Loved it and this will be our go-to place in the future.
Clean, Quiet, beautifully decorated and well appointed. We have been visiting Santa Fe for several years so we are very familiar with the weather and this year was a bit of an exception, however the water ruts on Camino sin Nombre were so severe we could barely get through with our car which is not a four-wheel drive and the ankle-deep mud pool in front of the driveway gate was a show stopper. You cannot leave the property on foot without boots. We plan to return to Santa Fe next year but perhaps a different location.
The adobe is in a quiet neighborhood with good room for parking
We enjoyed our stay at the adobe. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient for skiing and sightseeing. The kitchen is nicely done and well equipped. The radiant heat kept us toasty, The alarm was going off upon our arrival and Richard the manager came quickly and resolved the issue. We did wish there was more ample seating in the living area and that the bedrooms had TVs in them as well. Also, we had to battle ants and beetles during the entire stay, which was frustrating with small children who were very upset by the bugs.
I found the property manager very helpful, He was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. Great communication.The home itself was very charming, and well equipped. However, for relaxing around the fire and tv, a larger couch would have been more comfortable. Maybe one full couch and then a love seat. In addition, I appreciate the need to be careful with towels and water usage, but there was only one towel per person. Not ideal for someone with long hair. On a positive note, the beds were very comfortable!I found the location to be a bit closed in. It is an easy walk down the hill to town, but t is located at the end of a very narrow, tight street, tucked way in and has no views at all. My fault as I did not google earth it in advance.I would probably not stay here again, but only due to its location at the end of the street. It made me feel claustrophobic.Thank you.
This Beautiful secluded home in the quaint historic east side on a hill above Canyon Road, it has lovely furnishings, accessories, and original art. We and our friends have stayed here several times. Overall, the place is clean, with the exception of finding lots of dead bugs around the exterior doors and window sills, which we had to remove. The home was obviously cleaned, but probably not recently checked before our arrival. Each time that we have stayed in this home, we wanted to use the outdoor gas fire pit on the beautiful private patio, but have been disappointed every time that it was not working. We trust that the owner will attend to our suggestions, as we always look forward to making Casa Viga Grande our place to stay on our next trip to Santa Fe.
Amazing house; make sure you have 4 wheel drive or snow chains
Everything about this property was incredible! However, it snowed 3 inches while we were there and the temperature did not rise above freezing until 36 hours later, so we were stuck in the house because the hill to get to the main road was completely iced over and we did not have chains or 4 wheel drive. I had to walk half a mile to uber to Autozone to get snow chains just so we could leave the property. So like i said, amazing property, just be prepared if it snows and doesn't melt.
The property is very well maintained and stocked with the basics (better than most VRBO's we have rented).
The only thing they lacked was proper maintenance of lights under the kitchen counter (less than half were working).
Being the first time in the old part of Santa Fe, we were surprised at how narrow many of the streets are (and dirt roads as well). A couple of times we had to stop, back up, and even pull into someone else's driveway to let someone pass in the other direction. That's pretty annoying, particularly if you're driving a big car.
We are hikers, so not a problem for us walking up the dirt road hill when walking from the house, but many renters probably only drive to downtown (just a little over a mile from the house).
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the nice clean and VERY quiet house.
We really enjoyed our stay at this pretty 2 BR/BA home just outside of downtown Santa Fe. It was very spacious and well equipped with the items we needed. Check-in and check-out procedures were easy. Clear instructions for wifi and a/c units. Definitely would return to stay here. We were about 8 minutes drive time to La Fonda and easy parking.
We have been renting this property each year for the past ten years. Richard is a marvelous property manager and we love the house and location. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to walk to Canyon Road and the Plaza. It's perfect.
The house was very comfortable to settle into. We could spread out or be together. Easy to use tv, kitchen appliances, showers. Well equipped. Great location, we did not enjoy the spacious outdoor settings as we went to several places in the area where we checked out the lovely New Mexico landscape, like Jemez Springs and Ghost Ranch.
