"We decided on Casa Ambrosia for our 4th of July escape, and it was perfect! The home is tucked away from the little town of El Rito on several acres with a view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in the distance. We only had a couple days of obscured views due to smoke from fires south and west of Santa Fe. The house was very cozy for the 2 of us and our 2 small dogs. The kitchen had all needed housewares for eating in, the gas grill was good size and very clean. Hot tub was nice. Sleep Number bed upstairs in the master bedroom was very comfy. The splitters used to cool and heat the house worked great in keeping us cool in 90 degree temps.This was one of the most peaceful, relaxing and quiet stays we’ve ever experienced. Our days were spent lounging after breakfast, reading, short hikes when it wasn’t too hot, napping, soaking in the hot tub, and streaming some movies. First 4th without the constant sound of fireworks at all hours of the day and night. Our dogs loved it!Grocery shopped before arriving so we ate many meals at the house. A couple day trips to the Ghost Ranch, the Monastery of Christ in the Desert (dirt road, one lane for most of it - monastery was ok, but the canyon drive had incredible views and beauty), and stopping for light snacks and beverages at the Abiquiu Inn was great. Also spent an evening for dinner at the hot springs in Ojo Caliente, 20 min. from El Rito."
