Charming Casita Establo in Historic Eastside Area

This is a NEW MEXICO SAFE CERTIFIED property and truly one of the most lovely and walkable neighborhoods in Santa Fe. Located in the Historic Eastside, part of Casita Establo was originally the horse stable for the compound. Today the house is a centrally located base for exploring the rich history, food, arts and cultural offerings of Santa Fe. Our 2-story, 2-bedroom, 1,500 sq. ft. house is well designed for one couple, or for two individuals or two couples to share, as the bedrooms are on separate floors and each has an adjacent full bathroom.

The Casita is tastefully decorated with local artwork and artifacts and includes many amenities in the kitchen and living areas to make your stay comfortable and memorable. The first level of the classic adobe Casita has retained many traditional Santa Fe craftsman features like vigas and beam ceilings, Saltillo tile and sand-set brick floors, yet supplies all the modern conveniences you would expect to use during your stay.

The bedroom on the main floor, adjacent to the kitchen is part of the original adobe, probably from the late 1800s, and was once the property's horse stable. Our house name, Casita Establo, honors that. This bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed, full bathroom and a kiva fireplace which, unfortunately, is currently not operable. The second floor was added to the original adobe structure to make a large and open master suite which includes a king size bed and a beautifully tiled combination bath and shower. The north light in this room is absolutely exquisite year around. A full wall of multi-pane windows can be opened to captured the delightfully fresh Santa Fe air or hear song birds throughout the day. There is ample room to partake in your morning yoga or meditation practice in this tranquil, light-filled upstairs retreat.

Please note before booking there is one small step into the downstairs bedroom and the circular stairs leading to the second floor bedroom suite are rather steep.

There are two outdoor sitting areas furnished with table and chairs for your enjoyment. The cozy and private walled entry courtyard also has a gas grill BBQ for your use. A delightful rooftop deck is accessible from the upstairs master suite. Cloud watching and star gazing encouraged!

If you like to cook, you will love our well-stocked kitchen and the eclectic collection of cookbooks we encourage you to thumb through ... and use! We also have a very special book of recipes our guests have left over the years. You'll also find many useful cooking ingredients, a trove of spices, and a wide assortment of cooking pans and utensils awaiting your culinary creativity. Our kitchen, and gas BBQ, is ready for your return after shopping at the amazing Santa Fe Farmers Market just a mile away. There are also a variety of woven napkins and place mats plus many serving plates, cups and wine glasses for use throughout your stay.

Want to just curl up and read? We have the perfect spot for that! There are comfortable chairs and a leather couch in the living room situated close to the traditional kiva fireplace which unfortunately not operable. A nearby shelf is full of books that either we or our guests have left for an impromptu book exchange. Browse the shelf and if you take a book ... please leave a book. Relax and enjoy!
