About this property

Casita Contenta | Enclosed Yard, Covered Patio

This charming pueblo-style home has “content” right in the name, and it deserves to, because Casita Contenta gives you the best of both worlds! On the one hand, you get to enjoy lovely, peaceful, and natural surroundings. On the other, you're just a short distance from experiencing firsthand the amazing architecture of Santa Fe Plaza and the original Spanish Market Square, the 17th Century Palace of the Governors, the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Loretto Chapel with its unusual spiral staircase winding up to the choir loft and more! Conveniently located near historic downtown Santa Fe, this two-bedroom, two bath home also gives you easy access to the nearby pueblos, where you can immerse yourself in the rich Native American history and culture of one of the country's most unique areas.

Ideal for smaller families or two couples traveling together, this small yet spacious home is located on Santa Fe's historic east side and built in Santa Fe's distinctive Pueblo Revival style. With wood floors, comfortable furniture, lots of light and a viga ceiling, Casita Contenta’s bright living room is a great place to hang out. A cable HDTV provides the entertainment, or you can take advantage of the free Wi-Fi to surf the web or check out the local attractions while you plan your day's adventures. Santa Fe has a plethora of wonderful restaurants and coffee shops, but if you feel like having a night in, Casita Contenta’s colorful and complete kitchen is ready to accommodate you. Fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and all the cookware, utensils and dishes you’ll need, you’ll be able to prepare anything from an elaborate meal to a toasted jalapeno bagel and cup of coffee. A separate dining room with fireplace is a great place to enjoy your meals (or a lively board game), or you can enjoy your dinner outside on the covered brick patio while you enjoy the beautiful, private garden.

You’ll want to be well rested for all the great hiking opportunities the area has to offer, and Casita Contenta’s comfortable bedrooms (each furnished with queen-size beds) can help you with that. Stocked with fresh, fluffy towels, both brilliantly tiled full bathrooms mean you won't have to wait in line to shower. As for the primary bath, it’s like a private stall with a large soaking tub and separate walk-in shower!

Proof that convenience and charm can go hand-in-hand, Casita Contenta is the perfect base of operations for your Santa Fe getaway. So don’t let it get away from you—book your stay for your best Southwestern vacation today! Please be advised that there are two friendly, Giant Schnauzers that have free roam through out the property.

Lovely oasis

We enjoyed staying in this lovely house near Museum Hill. Casita Contenta is more a Casa! Very roomy. Checking in and out is cumbersome through a property manager, requiring an additional stop.

Not worth it

While the location was perfect for the wedding we attended, and it is a spacious home - we were very disappointed. I have stayed in worse short term rentals, but I’ve never had such a disconnect from expectation (especially given what we paid) and reality. 1. Our biggest issue was the dogs. There was nothing in the description that said there were dogs on the property. Once we checked in we were notified by the rental company saying there were two friendly dogs in the main house. I am a dog person and these were not friendly dogs - they barked aggressively and ran up to us every time we were outside. They also started barking at 6 am when they were let out. My father who stayed with us is not a dog person and was VERY put off. If you are afraid of dogs or have small children DO NOT stay here. 2. We were under the impression we had private use or the yard. That is what the description led us to believe. It is shared with the main house which would have been fine if not for the dogs (see above). We brought our 2 month old and pretty much booked this place so we could sit outside with him in the yard. Not possible with these dogs outside. 3. The master bedroom bed frame was broken and we had to move the mattress to the floor. The other mattress was incredibly uncomfortable. 4. There were no screens on windows which made it hot, and we couldn’t leave the doors open because of the dogs. 5. There were no mattress pads on beds 6. Coffee machine was tiny for 4 people

Casita HEAVEN!!

This casita home is an absolute dream! The property itself is beautiful, and from the moment you walk in the door you feel right at home. If you get to meet the owners of the main home, they are incredibly kind and welcoming. All around 5/5 stars- a true little slice of HEAVEN!

Parking and location

The property is awesome. It would have been helpful to have additional information on distance to attractions including nearby hiking trails. The property was very clean, but simple things in the kitchen were limited. Example if you provide a coffee maker provide the filters. There were also zero games or puzzles in the property. Part of the fun of a VRBO is seeing what family games are available .
