Dorthia Garden Retreat & Views | Stunning 360 View
About this house rental
Located in Santa Fe, this attractive house for $583 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. See Santa Fe from a luxurious Eyrie on top of the world! That's how you'll feel at Dorthia Garden Retreat & Views, a gorgeous estate on more than an acre overlooking both the city and the mountains. To say that the views from this large home are "panoramic" is to diminish them: in truth, they are breathtaking in both scope and beauty. Wherever you look, you see either the snowy Sangre de Cristos, the twinkling lights of Santa Fe, the rolling foothills leading down to the Rio Grande Valley, or all of the above! And you don't have to be outdoors to do it: this home is full of enormous, floor-to-ceiling plate-glass windows that can make you feel as though you're hovering over the canyon. You will never, ever tire of the views from Dorthia Garden! From the moment you pull up on the sweeping drive and see the fountain, you will know you're in for something very special at Dorthia Garden. Ornately carved double doors lead you into a huge common area, bathed in sunlight and furnished with a wealth of ultra-comfortable sofas and chairs. Flop down on the sectional or stretch out in the leather armchair, kick off your shoes, and revel in the knowledge that you need do absolutely nothing except enjoy your vacation in paradise! One of the best features of Dorthia Garden is its spaciousness. Viga ceilings, a huge fireplace, handsome pillars, and a low dividing wall help to define the common area, but nothing is crowded, from the wide hallway to perfectly-placed furnishings. Your big group can really spread out here without bumping elbows, which contributes to the sense of calm and quiet you will experience even when the kids' computer games are beeping and the grown-ups are cheering over the big game on one of the many HDTVs. Tear yourself away from this scene of comfort to admire the well-stocked kitchen and dining areas (there are at least 2!) in this house. The kitchen is curved, filled with light, and boasting the latest stainless-steel appliances (including 2 fridges and a second sink in the central island). All you add is groceries; everything else, from cookware and dishes to chef's knives, gadgets, and countertop appliances, is ready for you here. Adjacent to the kitchen are two dining rooms, each with tables seating 6: one with a cozy breakfast-nook feel despite its large size and jaw-dropping views, and the other with even more panoramic vistas that suggest you are jutting out over a cliff! Hard to imagine a more spectacular setting for meals, games, and family gatherings. And while the common areas are lovely, the bedrooms at Dorthia Garden are designed for total comfort and pampering. The primary suite includes a king-sized bed, full fireplace with a mantelpiece, inlaid viga ceiling, desk, pair of easy chairs, and en-suite bath featuring Jacuzzi, walk-in shower, towel warmer, and dual vanities. You will never want to leave! The other four bedrooms are all spacious and perfectly appointed, each with a queen-sized bed (one featuring a heavenly canopy, just right for the romantic in the group!) and access to one of the 4.5 bathrooms at Dorthia Garden. Luxe linens and towels await you here, plus a full laundry room to keep all those vacation togs fresh, no matter where your adventures take you. And the outdoor spaces are just as beautiful as the interior of this home. Several patios offer a mix of sun and shade for your enjoyment during the warmer months, and covered areas provide shelter when the snow begins. There is plenty of seating out here too, so consider dining al fresco and enjoying 360-degree views! Dorthia Garden may seem to be away from it all, but it's just a short drive north of the city, within easy reach of the Santa Fe Opera, Ski Santa Fe, and the myriad attractions of the Plaza area. No matter what your group wants to explore in northern New Mexico, you have the ideal home base for luxurious comfort when you stay at Dorthia Garden! Santa Fe STR# 156209

Wonderful time with family at this comfortable home- well situated when visiting Santa Fe and the vistas from the home are spectacular- beds could use new mattresses in some rooms, but this home has so much to offer

This is a beautiful spacious home with decks on all sides to enjoy the beautiful views of the mountains. The sunrise coming up over the eastern mountains will take your breath away. We will be back. Thank you for the great memories.😊

We enjoyed the space and views of this property. Close to downtown plaza and shopping, restaurants. Wish it had AC instead of evaporative cooling on these hot days. Great outdoor entertaining spaces. A good experience.

The upscale home was as described in the listing with easy access to downtown Santa Fe. The kitchen was well equipped with modern gourmet appliances. The living room was very spacious with ample seating for 10+. The furniture was comfortable. The weather did not allow use of the outdoor space but would have been nice for our group of 8 overlooking great views. The views could also be enjoyed from large windows in the living room.
The only negative would be the BBQ was not clean to the point that I would have been hesitant to use it.
Overall, it was a beautiful home, and we would definitely rent it again.

It was a wonderful home with a beautiful view. My family and I enjoyed watching the snow fall thru the large windows, with the fire going in the fireplace. Would recommend this home for rental.

The Dorthia Garden Retreat created the perfect atmosphere for our family holiday vacation. It all started with the accurately worded description and images followed by the perfectly timed communications and easy to follow check in/check out processes. The management of this property was perfect.
The Dorthia Garden Retreat is situated on top of a beautiful hill that overlooks the valley with a view of the nearby mountains. The view from the living areas created an uplifting spirit in our entire family. The well designed and apportioned kitchen with island bar encouraged group effort for meal preparation. We ate delicious hardy home cooked meals.
The large comfortable bedrooms with baths gave us the privacy and quiet that was needed by our growing family. The babies took their naps while the adults shared pictures and memories from the days events.
Santa Fe offers family fun shopping and entertainment. We took advantage of both. We took the babies to the mountains to sled in the snow and to explore the mysteries of Meow Wolf. We shopped in the town square for holiday memory souvenirs. The Dorthia Garden Retreat was our refuge after our long energy absorbing excursions!
We highly recommend this beautiful home.

Home was as described. Lots of space for a large party of friends and family. Quiet neighborhood, easy and quick access to the city for supplies or dinner and shopping. Great kitchen for cooking when eating in. Trails for walks or runs are close by. Would definitely rent house again if we return to Santa Fe!

The property itself is amazing with beautiful views of the sunrise and sunset and close to hiking trail. It is very spacious with lots of patios open floorpan. However, that was about all the property had going for it. The furniture, bedding, TV's and electronics were old and extremely outdated. In all the downstairs rooms the beds are all queen with old bedspreads and pillow shams (not sure they are cleaned between uses) the mattress were old lumpy spring mattresses. The only king bed was located in a random upstairs bedroom with no bathroom attached. The TV's were the old tube TV's and we had to buy a HDMI cord to get football games on through our computer. The master bath hot tub shot out mildew when you turned on the jets, and the master shower was very musty. Over all I would not choose to stay in the property again.

Great house and location.
This place is wonderful and has an amazing view of the mountains and city. If you have 8-10 people there is plenty of room. A huge gorgeous kitchen and two patios. I’d recommend staying there. That said. There are some irksome issues that need to be addressed. Check in is very late at 4pm and then you have to check out at 10:00 am. This major inconvenience is non-negotiable for an increased fee. Very frustrating for travel plans. After checking in the property was unbearably hot and there was no specific instructions on how or where to turn on the AC. After discussions with the mgmt we discovered how but everyone felt the bedrooms were hot and uncomfortable at night.
Other than those issues, it’s a beautiful large home and we’d stay again if some of the ac and check in our issues were improved. The home is dated with old TVs and poor WiFi. The 5th bedroom upstairs has no bathroom and has a weird sink instead of a bathroom. Uber rides to and from the downtown plaza run $10 and drivers are 3-10 minutes away. It’s a great place but I wish I’d have known some of this information before we rented it to make our stay more convenient and comfortable.

Not great but okay
Rented the house for a family Thanksgiving of 10. The good and the bad: Each bedroom had its own bathroom except for the upstairs (which is described as a bedroom but there's no shower etc.) My sister-in-law had to share a shower and use the downstairs guest bathroom to get ready.
We loved the family room layout. The space was wide open and everyone could lounge comfortably without being on top of one another. Be mindful of the 2 steps going down to the sunken in living room. We had to keep reminding our elderly parents so they wouldn't fall. The view was really quite stunning and everyone commented on how relaxing it made them feel. The kitchen was also nice since we had a large group. The oven space was tricky. We needed 2 large overs but it had one large and a quarter size oven.
The only real negative comments:
1) They need a new TV!! The TV is an old tube style about 30". When you're having a family of 10 come for Thanksgiving and watch football, this was pretty ridiculous considering a large flat screen costs about $500-$600.
2) WIFI is terrible!!!!! I can't emphasize that enough! We had some of our family members who had to work and with the WiFi being so horrible, they couldn't get much of their work done and had to use their hotspots from their phone.
3) They need more adequate lighting outside in the driveway area AND by the outside stairs. Coming and going during the evening was rather tricky. It's a safety issue and needs to be addressed by the owner.
We would have rented the home again for the following Thanksgiving but given these negatives, we opted out and found another home in Santa Fe for 2018.

We had a remarkable stay at Dorthia Garden. The great room was a perfect gathering spot for the eight of us. Views from all windows are spectacular as it sits atop a hill overlooking the mountains and city of Santa Fe. We were unable to raise and lower blinds in two bedrooms,however. If we returned to Santa Fe we would stay again at Dorthis Garden!

Reviewer Comments:
The house is so poorly maintained that it ruined our visit. The freezer stopped working one day into our visit as did the dishwasher. The maintenance people came to the house and were able to fix the freezer, but the dishwasher never worked properly. The buttons on the control pane were so worn out that they did not engage properly. Also, there were ants in the kitchen which had not been sprayed for prior to our visit so the maintenance people had to do that as well while we were there. The swamp cooler sounded like a jet engine and was so loud you could not hold a normal conversation in the living room. The final straw was that the smoke detectors continued to go off without provocation. This started at 6:00 a.m. while we were all sleeping and continued into the evening hours. Since this occurred on a Saturday and Saturday evening, we had to call the emergency number and have the maintenance person come to the house. He disconnected the detectors which stopped the noise, but by that time our visit had been ruined. In addition to these significant problems, there were other annoyances such as shades in two of the bedrooms not working so that air could not get into the rooms through open windows which in turn meant that the swamp cooler could not work correctly. All in all, it was a very dissatisfactory experience and we would not come back or do business with Kokopelli Property Management again.

Reviewer Comments:
This house is in a great location and is perfect for a couple of families. The set up inside is great and spacious. However, there is much unrealized potential and a number of maintenance/amenities problems. There were cobwebs in the doorways, one of the bedrooms was unusable when we arrived, there were ants in the kitchen, the water somehow got turned off, and one of the smoke detector's batteries went, initiating an incessant beeping. The property managers were incredibly responsive in addressing these issues. On the amenities side of things, the bed linens and bath towels could all use updating, there was no patio furniture so we could not enjoy the outside areas, we could not get the main TV working in the living room as the set up is arcane and too complex with no instructions, and we had to reset the router to get the wifi working. This a great house needing a lot of attention in the details to make it worth the per night cost.

We had a great experience at the villa. It was more than what we expected. A great location, very spacious, clean and very well furnished. Overall, the property was very well maintained. We were in the bedroom with canopy bed. A few suggestions: 1) the room lock was not working, 2) the smoke alarm started to chirp when we were leaving - maybe it requires new batteries. 3) The window blinds were great, however, we found difficult to adjust (raise) them. Instructions will help. 3) We could not operate the TV in the leaving room - instructions will help. These suggestions are trivial and meant for future guests.

We rented the Dorthia Garden home for a ski trip with a total of 5 couples. There are four wonderful bedrooms with very comfy beds and each one has a private bathroom. The fifth bedroom has a mini kitchenette, however, the couple that stayed in that room said the bed was very uncomfortable. They had to share the master bath since it doesn't have its own bathroom. Overall, we loved the home. It was very spacious and was perfect for all 10 of us. The view from the living room is absolutely beautiful. The home is a 5 minute drive from a grocery store and a 10 min drive from the plaza. The ski basin is about 45 min away. We would highly recommend renting this home.

The house was great, I wish the upstairs bedroom had a bathroom instead of a kitchenette. The house was not that clean, there were a lot of bugs. He killed 3 spiders.
