The property and our hosts were amazing! It's a great location for proximity to all that Santa Fe has to offer. The Casita was clean and supplied everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor space was lovely as well. We would like to live in it permanently if we could.

Great location. Easy (and enjoyable) walk to Museum Hill. Direct access to downtown (about 2 miles) yet a quiet and peaceful setting on a side road. Feels like you are away from any traffic. Actual living space is clean and welcoming. Beautiful views out every window and every direction. Well-equipped kitchen. And, we loved being able to sit outside in the courtyard. Kind and friendly hosts. We plan to return! DK & MK

My husband and I needed to get away from it all and Santa Fe did not disappoint. Our first time to stay in SF and Gary’s & Bee’s Guest House was the perfect spot for us. We met both of them during our stay, both expressing that we could contact them for any needs we had (we didn’t have any). You walk by their house to get to the guest house, but still have all the privacy you need. The house was perfect, just as described. We didn’t cook there, but in looking around, it appears you would have all you need for light cooking. The TV is a bit small, but is adequate for a little downtime in the evening if you have streaming accounts (which we do). The bed is comfortable, albeit fairly low to the ground. The house is clean and inviting with a pretty perennial garden lining the entry walk. It felt like coming home every time we returned. Being a little outside of the city proper, you can’t really walk anywhere, but everything you want to see or do, including grocery stores, are just a short drive away. We would definitely recommend Contemporary Guest House and might just stay there again ourselves!

It was also in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful views but close to everything we wanted to see in Santa Fe. The hosts were very friendly and accomodating. Highly recommend!

We travel to Santa Fe frequently (4-6 times per year), and we are excited to have found this place, because it’s perfect for us. Spotlessly clean, and has everything we need. Even ceiling fans, and counter space in the bathroom, both of which can be hard to find! Thank you, Gary & Bee, for a wonderful stay.

The outside of the house looked nice , the views were amazing , it was clear where you could see all the stars at night, the sunsets and sunrises were very beautiful. The inside of the house has been neglected over the years it needed a lot of TLC. The bedroom was too crowded with the table and chair. The bed with just the mattress was uncomfortable and hard. The stove needed to be fixed so you would not have to light a match to light the burners. The shower needed to be cleaned better. The vent in the bathroom was filthy , my husband cleaned it out, there was so much dirt that came out of it . For the number of nights that my husband and I stayed there should have been enough towels and wash clothes for the entire time that we stayed not just the two towels and two wash clothes. The lock on the door was complicated to use, keep it simple. Bee did let me wash some clothes in her washer so that was nice of her letting me do that instead of going into town and washing clothes at a laundry mat. I appreciated that.

My husband and I were very pleased with this lovely casita. It had everything we needed and much more. Loved the light decor and the windows to amazing views (especially with the glistening snow on the junipers)! We came for a week to visit family, to hike in the area and of course to enjoy the food. The hosts were very welcoming. We would definitely stay here again!

The was the best of the dozens of short-term rentals I have had. The casita is thoughtfully designed, comfortable, and well maintained. Radiant heat in the floors, unlimited hot water, great lighting, including in the kitchen (unusual for a rental), high quality utensils, etc. Along with the other, usual factors, these things account for the first five stars. The other five are for the hosts, Gary and Bee. I became ill during my stay, and I found them among the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met, even though I was a complete stranger. They went out of their way to check up on me, offer and provide help, and adjust the booking on the fly when I was too weak to travel. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
