Beautiful stay!

Loved the casita! Great view and amenities! Very good location. 10-15 dollar uber to most anywhere. Great inside and outside space. Only consideration is if you are on girls trip and only one bathroom might be a little hard because the bathroom is in the bedroom. Adding a door to the existing bathroom for another entrance would be very helpful! Otherwise, highly recommended !!!

Roomy. Comfortable. Peaceful. Perfect.

I happen to love this casita! It definitely has a “Santa Fe” feel with lots of windows that open to allow the New Mexico breezes. The kitchen had everything I needed. The outdoor spaces are lovely. In one spot you can enjoy the hummingbirds and the songs of the towhees, the other provides great viewing of the spectacular sunsets. The hosts were very helpful in providing recommendations for hiking and activities in the area. It was a truly lovely stay. I definitely recommend.

Beyond Expectations

We couldn' have been happier with our stay! We came to explore the area, and this casita was a lovely part of the experience. Every nook and cranny was so inviting, but our favorite spot was in the back, watching the sunset over the mountains most evenings.

Wonderful 9 days!

Wanting to visit Santa Fe for 9 days to get a real, unhurried feel for the place. We could not have asked for a better location. 5 min from town. Each night we enjoyed a fire & found everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I'd stay there again.

Great choice!

We loved our 5 day stay at the casita. The location was perfect for us: quiet, beautiful views, and close to town. The casita was extremely clean with everything we needed. The living space was comfortable and cozy. The kitchen was very well equipped. The hosts were very responsive and helpful yet not intrusive. We would definitely stay here again!

Chris and Marie get six out of five stars for being perfectly helpful hosts with vast knowledge of the area. Their rental was immaculate, cozy, and setting picturesque. Stay here and you will not want to leave and want to return. Thanks to you both for making our 34th anniversary memorable.

Peaceful Hilltop Casita Oasis

Between, April 24 – May 7, 2025 we enjoyed our third visit to Chris and Marie’s Peaceful Hilltop Casita oasis in Santa Fe. In a previous reviews we described in detail all the wonderful reasons why we enjoyed our stay. One again our hosts, Chris and Marie, made every effort to make our stay comfortable. The day before we were scheduled to begin our drive back home a spring snow storm hit Santa Fe and the surrounding region. Chris and Marie offered another night in the casita so the storm could pass through so we would leave a day later making our drive safer. Plus, supplying us with pinon wood, kindling, and fire starters so we could enjoy a cozy fire in the Kiva fireplace. This speaks volumes about the Howson’s. One could not ask for more thoughtful, kind hosts. If you are looking to enjoy a restful, renewing experience with all the beauty that Santa Fe and the surrounding area offers then look no further than the delightful Peaceful Hilltop Casita. Once again, kudos to Chris and Marie.

Delightful Peaceful Hilltop Casita

We enjoyed a wonderful visit in the Peaceful Hilltop Casita between February,14-21, 2024. The casita is nestled in a peaceful setting just outside Santa Fe. To the west is a magnificent view of the Jemez Mountains and to the east the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The casita is surrounded by pinon trees and junipers giving the effect of being in the woods while only being a few minutes' drive from all of Santa Fe's amenities. Our hosts, Chris and Marie, made every effort to make our stay comfortable. From the nice welcome note on the dining room table when we arrived, the tasteful placement of houseplants, the exceptional cleanliness, comfortable furniture, all supplies necessary to enjoy a cheery fire in the fireplace, down to the small legal pad with a pen in a basket on the dining room table, it was abundantly clear the efforts to makes us feel welcome. The refrigerator was thoroughly cleaned and cleared of any condiments and perishables that previous guests had left. That is a huge plus for us. We have stayed in numerous places in New Mexico, and usually the pervious guests' condiments and perishables are left in the refrigerator which is a deal breaker for us. The attention paid to making sure the refrigerator was emptied and spotless made a huge favorable impression on us. For a restful, renewing, experience with all the beauty that Santa Fe and the surrounding area offers look no further than the delightful Peaceful Hilltop Casita! Kudos to our hosts

We loved this place! Beautiful outdoor patio and lots of nonstop entertainment from hummingbirds. Lots of other birds, a visit from a young buck deer with beautiful velvet on his antlers, coyotes at night and gorgeous sunsets. Kitchen was well stocked as far as cooking utensils. Very quiet and comfortable and it will be our first choice when we return to Santa Fe.

Amazing Cozy Little Casita

Fantastic little property nestled in the hills north of Santa Fe. It was very quiet with sunset views. It was super easy to drive to the plaza. The owners were super helpful. They found out that we liked to hiked and they gave us a lot of suggestions as to where to go. Don’t be bashful to ask them for suggestions. They have some good ones. We enjoyed a fire in the kiva while we watched a movie and relaxed after a long day. Definitely will come back next time we go to Santa Fe!
