Moonstar | Pet Friendly, Rooftop Deck, 360 Views!
About this house rental
Situated in Santa Fe, this lovely house for $486 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Nestled on 2 acres in the foothills of the Sun and Moon Mountains is this glorious Pueblo-style home, boasting kiva fireplaces, viga ceilings, and stunning 360-degree views from the rooftop deck! Located in the beautiful (and convenient!) Museum Hill district of Santa Fe, this 3,000-sq ft home contains everything you'd dream of for a perfect New Mexico vacation: upscale furnishings and electronics, ultra-comfortable sleeping quarters, homey fireplaces in nearly every room, and plenty of outdoor gathering spaces to complement all the indoor beauty. Remember the old song about having the sun in the morning and the moon at night? At Moonstar, you get both -- and at all hours of day and night! You'll love watching the sky change over the Sun and Moon Mountains. Sunrises, sunsets (uh-oh, another song!), and every other hour are magnificent here! Set back from the road, this house is gorgeous from any angle. Step onto the flagstone front porch, admire the southwestern touches, and enter the gleaming great room, where your party will spend so much wonderful "downtime."" Viga ceilings

This property has so much potential hence the title mixed feelings. My profession is a realtor and I travel a lot during the year. My family and I visit Santa Fe a couple times a year. The features I really liked about this property are location, the size of the house and lot, And the accommodations for large group with pets. The house can comfortably sleep eight people. I’m sure when this house were newer it was a fabulous property. However, I can fairly say that it is just tired and time for the home to be freshened and modernized. The walls and trim Definitely need to be repainted and all of the mattresses need to be replaced. Pretty uncomfortable. The management company did bring us a topper for one of the mattresses where you can fill the springs when you lay on it. The two leather chairs in the living room are torn and the sleeper sofa needs to be replaced. All of the sheets were very scratchy. Maybe too much starch. Most of the kitchen equipment is very old and very little kitchen tools to use if you’re cooking. We had to go out and buy wooden spoons and a mixer. The glassware is very minimal and what is there is very old. The tv’s need to be replaced by smart tvs so guests can stream. The throw blankets in the den are rough like tapestry. The lighting throughout the yard does not work so it is very dark and hard to see where you are walking or driving up the driveway. This has the potential to be a 5 star rating but it’s not right now.

This is a very lovely home, but unfortunately, does need some minor repairs and updating. The bedrooms and living areas are all well appointed. The home is NOT air conditioned - important for those considering a summer stay. The management company did bring in portable AC units, which made sleeping more comfortable, but the living areas could be warm in the afternoons. The roof deck is GORGEOUS at night to sit, enjoy a drink, and chat with friends. The only other drawback was a little rodent visitor, but all in all, a nice stay.

Everyone enjoyed their stay here! Upon arrival, we got to experience the great desert yard and views from the rooftop patio. It's close to town and not far from the mountain for skiing. The family spent most of the time hanging in the large kitchen, sitting by the outside fireplace, and catching sun on the rooftop patio. The dogs loved the open space to run and explore, but bring your tweezers as there are tons of ground cacti and you'll be plucking needles from their paws and legs frequently. They loved it nonetheless! We also experienced about 12" of snow throughout most of our trip - it was so lovely! I don't know if this is particularly normal weather for Santa Fe or if we experienced a fluke winter storm. As other reviews have mentioned, the dishwasher is not great - it leaves a gritty white residue on everything that may be solved by using a simple rinse aid. The mattress in the master bedroom has a dip in it that was pretty uncomfortable. An additional gate opener would also be super convenient for larger groups. Those minor things aside, we all had a great time and agreed that we would definitely stay here again!

Stayed the week of Xmas … did lots of cooking the kitchen was very poor . Old appliances.. nothing worked right .. very outdated. Dishes had an old film on them . For what we payed you would think the kitchen would have newer appliances and accessories.

The house is very private with a very large, natural yard, and lots of amazing art. The roof deck has amazing views. Very well stocked and comfortable. It would be helpful to have wood and lighters for all the wonderful fireplaces, or at least recommendations on where to buy it, we found wood and lighters at Ace Hardware.

Perfect property and location. The house is just as listed and the photos are accurate. The location could not have been better. Very close to Canyon Road galleries, restaurants, and shopping. There is also a great hiking trail less than a mile away.

We had a great stay for a week in August. Our party was 4 adults and 3 children under the age of 5, and we felt that there was plenty of room to stretch out. We could even take the kids on “nature walks” on the property. The views could not have been better. The only complaint we had was that the appliances in the kitchen could have used some updating - the fridge had trouble staying cold and the dishwasher never really seemed to get the dishes completely clean. Otherwise a perfect stay!

Great location. Large, quiet, private, and very well decorated.
A few things are broken like the dish washer and the cooling system.
Managment company did not return my call.

Enjoyed our stay at this property. It’s very convenient to the Plaza, shopping, and Ski Santa Fe. The home is roomy and layer out well.
We did have a couple of issues. The home really smelled of cigarette smoke. We had to buy some Febreeze spray and plug-ins. Got back home with stinky clothes.
Also, the dishwasher did not drain properly, and water collected in the bottom. It had an unpleasant odor.

The home was comfortably clean but had two pretty big issues. The main one was a dishwasher that did not drain and so had stagnant water in the bottom for who knows how long.
The other was two sinks in the master bedroom that did not drain well.

This property, whilst looking beautiful from the outside and inside, is severely flawed. After arriving, we realised that the advertised AC was not working. After calling and informing the property management company we were simply told that the the AC isn't working. Nothing else, just that it wasn't working and that's it. The property management team had a horrible customer service team and even after calling the emergency number to resolve the issue, no one showed up to install the AC units. One would expect that in New Mexico, over the summer where the temperature can get extremely high, the AC would surely be functioning. NOT AT ALL, at least at this property. Anyone potentially looking at this place, I highly recommend you look somewhere else, unless you want to get cooked in the house over the summer months.

Beautiful home with beautiful views.
We did have issues with the stove and oven. But the maintenance man came quickly to resolve.
House was not stocked with some essentials like laundry soap, dishwasher soap, cabinet cleaner.
Bathroom toilets overflowed.
On the whole, a good experience.

We stayed several nights. The house is a great size and layout. The rooftop terrace is amazing. We watched the sunset every night. We would stay again. There is an “old house” smell when you first come in but we just opened the windows to air it out. The only issue we had was the spotty internet. Not a big deal unless you have to work. Overall, a great experience.

Beautiful home and location
We loved how secluded the home felt, but we were a quick and easy drive in to Santa Fe. Building a fire every night and hanging out on the patio was a highlight. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking easy for us. The portable A/C unit kept the main room cool during the day and at night we opened the windows in the bedrooms to stay cool. Thankfully, the nights were cool. I'm not sure how it would be in the summer. The internet is very slow and in at least one of the bedrooms we didn't get any coverage. Since we had two students zooming classes, it was a little stressful at times, but as long as the rest of us stayed off the internet when one of them had a class, it worked. All of us agreed that we would be excited to stay there again!

Nice house. Great location
Big property in great location. There was only one remote for gate which caused issues given we had 3 cars. AC was not good. Two rooms were really hot. Outdated but really functional and nice local decor. Picking up and dropping off keys is a pain.

Beautiful house with magic sunsets view from rooftop - but need some TLC
We enjoyed our stay at the property despite a few issues. The house is beautiful and contains LOTS of art and decorative objects, it's like a museum! Very unique decorations. We also liked the location, the yard and the sunsets from the rooftop.
The communications with property manager were good. A/C was not working and we have received the partial refund for our stay.
We would stay here again if we're back in Santa Fe! Maybe just not in the middle of summer.
As for the things that could be improved, here were our observations:
Sharing with you some of our observations.
Important issue:
A/C needs to be fixed. The house needs it during the daytime when it gets too hot - for summer months
Get second gate opener (the house is for 10 people, so 2 cars. It's impossible to get out without a gate opener). Currently only 1 opener was provided.
Things to add:
Placemats for dining table (the house is for 10 percent, but only 6 placemats!)
Better quality frying pans/pans - these are very old/used
add 4 more wine glasses
Salad bowl
Oven mittens
Laundry detergent
Small table for the rooftop (can be simple plastic one)
One more hair dryer (so each bathroom would have one)
Nice to have:
Apron for the kitchen
Toaster

Moonstar was delightful
Our family had a wonderful stay at Moonstar... close enough to everything to be convenient, but just far enough out that we could enjoy relaxing in the peace and quiet.

Moonstar was Great!
Only one small issue was the wifi. We had some difficulty with login, but resolved without contacting management. Had a great fire in the fireplace each night. Wife loved the large bathtub. It's a great place for our 7 that we brought. With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, everyone had plenty of space. The view from the roof was fantastic.

Wonderful vacation
This house is absolutely amazing. Beautiful architecture and furnishings. Totally comfortable and fun. The entire family had a great visit. The location is perfect, not in town so you have fantastic views both day and night but only a couple minutes to the plaza. We will be back!

Good if you know what to expect
This is the second year we have stayed in this property, and while it is clean, it needs some TLC. For instance one of the kitchen cabinets has a hair band to keep it closed. I had to buy wine glasses. The kitchen needs organization for sure. Things are feeling a bit shabby, in what has been basically a good place to stay.
