About this property

Upscale renovated cozy adobe Casita only 2 walking blocks to the plaza area (with top rated restaurants, shopping & art galleries - you can also walk to Canyon Road!), AND 1 block to the road that goes to the Santa Fe Ski Basin (12 miles) and 10,000 Waves spa (3.5 miles). You'll be in the middle of everything while enjoying the peace & quiet of a local.

This home is very open with charming wood vigas in the ceilings, newly plastered walls, collector's art, & all the comforts you will require.
There are 2 full private bedrooms and a Scandinavian designed sleepers sofa with solid support and foam mattress - surprisingly (yet intentionally) very comfortable!
In addition, you'll enjoy 2 FULL BATHS (a rare find) that are themselves spa quality with high-end stone tile, top-of-the-line fixtures and plush comfy towels.
You'll have your own private fenced in yard to enjoy morning coffee or a relaxing glass of wine at sunset; or if you'd rather, just walk up to the top of the hill of our street and you'll be at the Cross of the Martyrs (Ft. Marcy Hill), which has the most amazing views of the city and mountain vistas...AND to die for sunsets!!!
I take a lot of pride in my home. This is not a typical vacation rental, it is my 2nd home. I want you to experience it and enjoy it, but please take care of it. If you cannot, please don't book it. If you do not have any reviews, or have any negative reviews, please do not instant book. Contact owner to discuss booking possibilities.

Unfortunate Experience

Very disappointing. I had to park my car in the street because there is no driveway to this home. My car was broken into and I had many things stolen. The police were able to retrieve the suitcase of clothes but my 4 pair of expensive shoes were gone, along with other expensive items. Sunglasses, boots, medicine… Also, there were a huge amount of bugs inside the home. They were swarming elm seed beetles. It took two weeks before they were under control. By then I moved out and never went back. I have pictures. The owner was receptive to my calls. The walkway to the house was unsafe. It was very narrow and uneven steps. I was hoping a friend of mine would come visit but when I told her of the trouble I was having she declined to come.

Fantastic casita in a fantastic location!

This is one of my favorite vacation rentals ever. The house is small but "lives" big, with an ample outdoor living area and windows that open easily to let the mountain air indoors. The kitchen is beautiful and has most everything you'd need. The house is incredibly well-kept and clean. And the best part - you can walk to the Santa Fe Plaza in less than 10 minutes. It's a fantastic location. We used our car less on this trip than any previous Santa Fe trip. Cannot wait to stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by David Whyte

I was born in New Orleans and have lived there almost my entire life. My husband is from Albuquerque, so Santa Fe has become my second home, and I love it so much, we bought this property. I am a real estate agent in the New Orleans area. Real estate is my entire life. I love all aspects of it.
In my free time I love staying fit, collecting art, and spending as much time with family as possible. I love checking out the local cuisine, art galleries and boutiques that are just around the corner.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property because I fell in love with Santa Fe and all that it has to offer.

What makes this property unique

This property is very special to us because we've literally restored it from the ground up. When we purchased it in 2018, it wasn't even livable. We've renovated it to a level that we're proud to call home. It's not your typical vacation rental. It's just 2 blocks to the Plaza, 3.5 miles to 10,000 Waves and 12 miles to the ski basin. literally everything is convenient.
