This place is great! You should get "the best B&B award"! We had a great time. The animals are wonderful, too -- We will come back! Thanks for everything.

- Kyra and Charles, Hollywood, FL

We came to New Mexico seeking-wide open spaces and starry nights and found both on your farm. The view from the porch at sunset is truly majestic! And we loved the view of the night sky from our bed in the San Marcos Suite. Thanks for the wonderful breakfasts, recommendations, and directions around Santa Fe. We hope to visit again!

"We cannot thank you enough for your wonderful hospitality - and the great entertainment from Walt! The room was magnificent and the whole farm absolutely magical. We could not have dreamed of a better place to stay than here. It is all so wonderfully charming... and of course, we loved the animals. We can't wait to come back."

- Debbie and David, Harrisburg, PA

This was abeautiful, tranquil, and gracious place. The vistas are extraordinary. Our walk down the arroyo was a wonderful exploration. Thank you! I hope we can return.
P.S. Tess is perfect!

- David and Paula, Felton, CA

A great place for cowgirl wanna-bes from the city! Charming, entertaining hostess, adorable animals, serene environs. Peace and quietude woven together in a Southwestern blanket of tranquil serenity. Only the donkeys and roosters invade the clear, crisp air's silence!

- Karen, North Kingstown, RI

It was a perfect mixture of serene country, exquisite rooms, wonderful hosts, and delicious food. We could not have imagined a better, more complete holiday for our anniversary. We will be back!

- Kathy and Nathan, Lubbock, TX

What a wonderful way to celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary! We are so so grateful to everyone here for sharing the magic and wonder of your sacred space with us. Such a work of art and love. It is more dear to us than we could have imagined. We are inspired, invigorated, and delighted by your generous, gorgeous spirits! We'll be back...

- Daniel and Zinnia, Shawnee Mission, KS

Never have I nor do I ever expect to encounter another B & B like yours. I'm now spoiled. No other will measure up. You have created a soul-soothing retreat. And Chance stole our hearts. Thank you for a generous slice of wonderful. I very much look forward to my next visit. Oh....and the just-born goats were an amazing touch!

- Kathleen, St. Paul, MN

A remarkably beautiful home in a splendid location. The stars at night are indescibable. Thanks for everything!

- Liza and Ralph, Burlington, VT

We couldn't have asked for a better way to start off our honeymoon. We have finally been able to relax after months and months of wedding-y stuff. I fear we will be spoiled by this place as our first B & B experience. I just don't see how the others could measure up...thank you for your generous hospitality. We hope we can make it back for our first anniversary!!

- Krista and Kenji, Palo Alto, CA

Thanks for five wonderful nights in magical New Mexicao! The kids loved the loft. Thanks for the great tips on where to go -- we loved the hikes -- and coming back to such a cozy spot for the night. The animals were fun -- especially the hedgehogs!

- Tom, Carol, Sarah, and Margaret, Port Orchard, WA

This was my first experience in a B & B and it was wonderful! The house is gorgeous and comfortable -- the views breathtaking. The hospitality and breakfasts were four-star! This was a much-needed long weekend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Marie is a wonderful hostess and I had a lot of fun "romping" with the donkeys. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

- Debbie, Plano, TX

This is just like visiting a member of our family whom we haven't seen in some time! Marie, you have made us feel welcomed and at home here in Sant Fe. Your guidance with our daytrips has been a blessing. The room feels like our room and we will miss its beauty and comforts. We hope to return some day and explore this fascinating area once again. You have been a gateway to a recreational/spiritual retreat we both needed... we have experienced the grandeur and beauty of this area.

- Jan and Todd, Duluth, GA

"Thank you for giving me an experience I truly have never had before. Each night in the tipi - hearing all the sounds - brought me closer to this magical place. Your place is beautiful, and your warmth and special care is so appreciated. Thank you, and I hope to see you again."

- Barbara, Brooklyn, New York

"We came spirit weary and in need of making decisions critical to our future. From the moment we arrived everything was a delight to our senses, and not in a trite Southwestern bad dream, but in an artistic, planned and generously thought out abundance. The character of your spirit is evident in every detail that brought us so much joy. From all of you my faith in the goodness of life is restored after having shared from your overflow. This is not just a Bed and Breakfast. This is a family (3 generations) who have mastered a sharing, kind, loving art of living and share it with strangers."

- Diana and Harold, Puerto Rico

- Debbie and David, Harrisburg, PA

"Thank you for the 'five star' hospitality; your keen eye for detail really made us feel at home, relaxed and nurtured. Your home is beautiful, your animals friendly... thanks for sharing your stories. The warmth you extended will be fondly remembered."

- Valerie and Haiden, Farmers Branch, TX

"It was wonderful here. We did not expect it to be so spectacular out on the farm - and I would recommend to anyone visiting Santa Fe that they should stay out here instead of staying in town!"

- Riesa and Jamie, Dallas, TX

"What a wonderful discovery - your home is truly a masterpiece! We rarely felt the need to go into town to do any sightseeing. Other B&B's we've stayed at come with so many rules and 'don't touch' signs and we couldn't really relax. Thank you for your hospitality, this is such a spiritual place. I loved waking up in the middle of the night and gazing at the stars above my bed and your drawbridge gate made us feel like royalty!"

- Maryanne and William, Fullerton, CA

"Mere words cannot express how special and magical we found the Crystal Mesa Farm to be. It has been food for the body, mind and soul. We came to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and, believe it or not, it is our first experience in a bed & breakfast. We’re afraid you have spoiled us to any other - our stay here will always be a cherished memory and we hope to return whenever we can. Thank you so much for your kindness and excellent care."

- Debbie and Robert, Dallas, TX

"This was my first vacation alone and when I spoke with Marie she reassured me that she'd make sure I kept busy. Thank you for helping me to plan my days, make reservations, worry about me and always make sure I had my water. I love the beautiful room, the view, the quiet and the hedgehogs. Thank you for making me feel at home."
- Julie, San Bruno, CA

"Your hacienda is truly beautiful and we couldn't have been more delighted with our surroundings. Laying in bed and watching the stars - paradise! Your decorating skill is awesome! But best of all was the care and hospitality we enjoyed... thanks for being so very gracious!"

- Connie and Vin, York, ME

"We came here looking for a place to relax and unwind and we found exactly what we were looking for! The house is so beautiful and eclectic; it reminds me of time spent in Bali. Our four year old son loved the animals and we enjoyed exchanging travel stories at breakfast. Its the kind of place we would love to come back and enjoy again."

- Pam and Greg, Austin, TX

I earmarked the Crystal Mesa Farm website more than 10 years ago, always thinking it would be a fun, different adventure "if ever" I could plan a trip to the Southwest. Well, it did NOT disappoint. In fact it was one of the best and most memorable vacations. The scenery will be with me always. And this place... What a wonderful home away  from home! It is so inviting and comfortable. I will tell a good list of people that if they want a wonderful vacation they should come here!
Hopefully I will return as well.
