About this property

The Storybook Cabin in the Santa Fe Forest STR #26-6117

On 1.2 acres, bordering Santa Fe National Forest, Superb mountain retreat, 20 minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza. Exceptional cabin perched on a hillside in glorious Pacheco Canyon. Imbued with nostalgic vintage finishes, filled with hand hewn and hand forged details, the atmosphere is enchanting. Main cabin graced with soaring ceilings and wood-burning stove and quaint kitchen. Upstairs find a cozy loft/ library and second bedroom suite. Add a seasonal stream, majestic canyon views, and access to the wilderness, The Storybook Cabin will not disappoint for those that love a rustic feel, and a peaceful haven to relax and enjoy nature. Perfect for winter sports to include cross-country skiing, other times of the year, trails for hiking and mountain biking right outside your door. 4-wheel drive is a must for the winter months. Please note that we do have exterior security cameras pointed at the driveway for safety reasons.

This is a beautiful place to escape. The beds were very comfortable, but floors are very creaky which goes along with the age of the cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We lost power one night due to some wicked thunderstorms and our host was very attentive.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Storybook Cabin. The cabin is beautiful, and the decorations made us feel welcome and warm. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels during our 4-night stay. Less than a few miles from the Santa Fe Opera. Melanie was great to work with, and Brian, the host, was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Storybook Cabin.

Fantastic cabin. Private and remote. A great place to stay. Plenty of outdoor seating for a morning cup of coffee or an evening drink. If it's too cold outside, the inside of the cabin is warm and inviting with unique and comfortable furnishings. If you want a place to stay away from the city and all the people, we definitely recommend this cabin.

I wish there were more words, other than tranquil, peaceful, beautiful, magical … to describe the serenity of this eclectic, comfortable, and artistic cabin in the woods. It is the perfect getaway. The perfect place to relax and regroup. The perfect place to connect with mother nature in all her magnificent beauty. It was a privilege and a dream come true to stay there. Thank you so much for opening your home to travel travelers.Hope to return soon.

We loved the Storybook Cabin. It was much more than we expected. It was clean, very cozy, and well stocked. We loved the remoteness of the cabin. We did an amazing 8 mile hike with our dogs. The ancient ponderosa pines were breathtaking. And lots of hummingbirds!Brian was a great help in planning our outings. Doug had a great mountain bike ride while I read in a chair out under the trees. It was a wonderful vacation all around. Thank you !!!

This is a breathtaking property. The kitchen is well stocked, and the floor plan is great. I have some orthopedic and balance issues, and for a mountain property I found it to be safe and stable. The location is great. Private but accessible to all Santa fe has. Teseque Village Market is my new favorite restaurant (it was previously Harry's Roadhouse). I would definitely come back.

My son and I went to this property to celebrate his 13th birthday and do some “man stuff”The area was perfect! Plenty of seclusion and beauty. We got to shoot his air rifle, and at night time the TV was perfect for watching a few movies together.The property was well appointed and fashionably decorated. Everything worked as advertised.The scenery in the area was beautiful, even in an off-season when we went. You definitely need to go outside at night and check out the stars.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 Dec 2025
Hi Robin, thank you for your thoughtful review. We appreciate you choosing us for your stay and are glad you enjoyed it. We do have a washer dryer off of the porch behind a separate door. We keep it locked for safety reasons because it also houses our furnace and most guests staying in short stays don’t need to use it . We wish you would have asked about it because it is available to any guests that need it. As far as the squeaky floors, the house was uniquely built using recycled wood and materials by hand from the previous owner so the upstairs can be a little squeaky. We have been there numerous times with people sleeping upstairs, and it has not bothered us. We feel so lucky to have this space to share with others but it is a cabin in the woods that was handcrafted with love so we tolerate a little squeak once in a while. Hope you had safe travels home!

Excellent spot!

I love the location, being close to the mountains of the Santa Fe national forest. Couldn’t ask for a better location if you enjoy being off the beaten path a bit. The hosts and their neighbor were all so helpful and kind. We are excited to come back!

Cozy cabin. Unmaintained mountain dirt road is very rough to navigate; glad we drive a mid size SUV. Housekeeping could use some improvement. Comfy bed, wifi easy to connect to. Property manager very responsive when called. Very quiet & serene, nice linens. Thank you for a very relaxing stay!
