We loved our time at St. Francis! We explored the property and enjoyed a perfect afternoon relaxing in the shade on the patio. The Casita was exactly as described! Hatch is worth the visit for a burger from Sparky’s and a stay at St. Francis!

This was the most unique place we have ever booked! Our room was so cozy. We spent both evenings of our stay relaxing in the courtyard. Celeste was very welcoming.

Pleasant and relaxing!

Our stay was peaceful and relaxing. The casita was roomy and comfortable and the courtyard was a great place to unwind in the evening. The host was friendy, accommodating, and informative. We enjoyed our stay while attending the Hatch Chile Festival.

Always enjoy our stay there.

Clean, necessities and more provided. Quiet and peaceful. Decor true to the history of the buildings. Plenty of room and plugs for our devices. Surfaces clear of clutter so we have room to put our own stuff. A favorite place for us to stay near Hatch, NM.

Absolute Gem!

What an amazing, unique experience for our family. The main living quarters were well-appointed and the grounds/church were something something special if not spiritual. Celeste was 100% cool and there for us when needed for questions about the place or recs for food in Hatch. Would stay again in a heartbeat and you should too!!

We enjoyed the history and uniqueness of the property. Plenty of room and the bed was good. Celeste was a gracious font of information about the church and town.Would not recommend for anyone with walking or balance issues as there are many uneven level changes at the property.

Diamond in the Rough!

My husband and I drove to Rodey for a one-night get-away and found this gem. Spent our time walking the beautiful grounds and driving the Geronimo Trail. The history of that area could be seen not only in the de-commissioned church, but also the ghost towns and army fort in the area. Thank you, Celeste, for sharing your beautiful diamond in the rough of Rodey!

Host was very accommodating. Room was neat and clean. History of the space was great and being allowed into the church space unaccompanied allowed us to take out time. The outside space was a little unkept.. some of the furniture looked unsafe to sit on. Being unfamiliar with the area it would have been nice to be prepared for gnats.We enjoyed our stay and hope that these thoughts help you in the future to gain return visitors.Thank our hostess plz

The casita was comfortable. The decor was perfect. We had everything that we needed. It is close to the small town of Hatch which has an amazing little place to eat called “Sparky’s” and also an awesome antique place. We were close to Las cruces and El Paso which was also convenient. We enjoyed our stayed very much!

What a fabulously well preserved treasure! I loved the floors, the old stove and the roosters crowing in the morning. I will definitely be back!

This was a unique property. There is one room guest room that could easily sleep a family of 5. It's large, appointed with quaint details that are authentic...and it has the feel of rectory...which it was. Arriving to find no one here but a room that was left open for us was different, but I get it. Maybe a note on the door would have been nice. But overall we liked it and slept well. We're just traveling through, but we are in the area at least once a year. Would consider a return stay if it worked out.

Very original, great atmosphere

I picked this place because it looked 'different'. And different it certainly was. The Casita is very large and very comfortable and it does not mention having a stove but it does have a small one. Just large enough for your egg and tea in the morning. A better cook than me could probably cook a complete decent meal on it too. There are several beds and the one I chose had a very nice, firm mattrass. When I arrived Celeste, who was great to communicate with from the start, showed me around. I had been afraid that I would not have enough privacy (a great issue with me) but I need not have worried. I had my own private patio - which was large! - and I could also sit in the large patio without being disturbed. I took loads of pictures. Of course I visited the church which is very beautiful. And two cute kittens visited *me* and I only discovered that they had hidden my favourite slippers when I was about to leave the next day and could not find them. They were under the sofa so I suppose the kittens had fun hiding them when I was outside reading a book. But I am a cat person! So no 'bad kittie!' from me! When they were not hiding stuff but cuddling up to me I could not have been happier. And when they did do the hiding they reminded me: that's what cats do when they are still babies. I have a senior cat now so I had almost forgotten. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes something different. And who likes peace and quiet and an overall feeling of well-being.

What a wonderful and unique accommodation.

My husband and I chose this VRBO because of its unique character and because of its stellar reviews and photographs. We were not disappointed. We were greeted by a smiling Celeste who gave us a tour of the property before we settled in. In a nutshell, this VRBO is exceptional. Our unit was spacious, well appointed and perfect. We had access to the entire grounds including the deconsecrated church. Our stay was perfect in every way. Two things to note: the rental does not have TV and internet connection was spotty. We didn't care, We fell in love with this unit. The surrounding area has few restaurants, thus its important to do your homework before arrival in terms of dinner choices. If we could give this place 10 stars, we would.

Gorgeous Historic Property

Stayed here a night with my Mom and sister while driving up from West Texas to White Sands. Beautiful place. Celeste was super friendly and was kind enough to give us a tour of the property. We really enjoyed exploring and learning about the history of the church. There is also a vegetable garden with grapes, tomatoes and other fruits that we were allowed to pick from, so we left with fresh produce that morning. We had a great time here and would definitely stay again.

Unique and Unforgettable

Such a cool place, full of fascinating history. A former Catholic church turned event space/B&B, with multiple small shrines on the property, a bell tower, even an intact, still-functional sanctuary. Although the building itself is 100+ years old, our space had all modern conveniences (except TV, which was fine with us). Celeste and Alice were lovely, warm and generous. Recommend unequivocally!
