Casa de la Vaca I - Guest House (one bedroom house) Left side private entrance.

PLEASE NOTE:
1. The water for our home comes from an underground well and can be unpredictable depending on precipitation levels and time of year. To remediate we have; two Triple Ozone systems, three stage (manganese, iron and hydrogen sulfide) iSpring filtration system and separate charcoal filter at the well. In addition, we have a Reverse Osmosis system in both kitchens for purified drinking water. We monitor the well on a continual basis as it is shared with our neighbor. The water will always have some degree of underlying scent of sulfur; although it is perfectly safe. This comes with the territory of being remote on 5 acres in the mountains. If you are sensitive to well water and require city water, please stay in the city.

2. All-wheel drive is always recommended especially during winter months, in case of snow. You will drive up 800 ft of unpaved road to reach our private gravel road to our home. Convenient parking is available in front of the stonework on either entrance. Complimentary Level 2 -EV charger NEMA 10-30 and Tesla adapter available in the carport for your charging convenience.

Nestled on the foothills with panoramic views sits this Canoncito/Santa Fe Charm house on 5 acres, just a mere 15 miles (25-minute drive) to Santa Fe’s historic downtown plaza. Serene and exquisite, you will encounter majestic Mountain views and with almost no light pollution you will experience the most incredible evening star gazing!

Cleanliness is of the utmost importance. To help ensure your safety and well-being, we have a cleaning service who is utilizing best practices for enhanced cleaning and disinfecting vacation rental properties.

Casa de la Vaca I is a private Casita which has recently undergone a 100% complete refresh. The home features a living room and full kitchen with new cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, original brick floor/with radiant heat for added warmth, island and custom woodwork stairs that leads to the loft bedroom with a very cozy queen size bed, full bathroom has subway tile, and private outdoor patio space and courtyard with outdoor grill and sitting area.

Great space for yoga and meditation under the portal. Break out the yoga mats and take in the breathtaking views! Namaste.

Stay in Canyoncito

This was just close enough to Santa Fe without being downtown. We very much enjoyed the surrounding landscape and heated floors. The host was very responsive and provided great information. We look forward to staying again on our next Santa Fe trip! Thank you!

What a delightful stay! 100% recommended!

We stayed at this property for a week or so. The property is exactly as described. It is a little bit far from the city centre if you must stay in the action. However, we love the location because it is a perfect place to wind down after our visits to Santa Fe and other surrounding areas. The rugged scenery of this area is something you cannot experience if you were to stay in the city. One can see all the stars at night and it is very serene and peaceful. As for the property itself, it is clean, safe and well stock. We are lucky enough to have perfect weather for our stay. Do read the description regarding the drive up. We have a AWD sedan and have no issue whatsoever. I do think had it rained, the unpaved portion of the road up to the house may be a bit messy. One thing worth mentioning is the responsiveness of our host (Diana). She is very timely and helpful in her responses to all of our queries. You cannot go wrong with this property and the superhost. Last but not least, the water does smell, and the pressure is low. Again, read the property description ahead of time. It is clearly stated and given the rural and remote environment the home is located, we are not surprised (even though we are 100% city folks). We will definitely recommend others to stay at this property. This property clears deserves a perfect ten!!!

The views from this home were spectacular! The balcony off the bedroom is perfect for your morning coffee and to soak in the sun before you start your day. It is even more amazing to admire the stars. The front patio was perfect to experience sunset and had a great view of the mountains. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with supplies. The queen bed was very comfortable. The entire house was really clean. Communication was also very good. Even with the strong sulfide odor smell of the water, this home is a 5/5. We truly enjoyed our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Diana Olivar

Cory and I met in Chicago. We would visit the southwest where I was born and raised and he would often ask, “Why don’t we live here”? Granted we were usually escaping the Chicago winter and enjoying 60-degree weather. We eventually moved back to my hometown of El Paso, Texas for family reasons where we have lived for the past 10 years. Cory being an adrenaline junkie loves all things outdoors. Although, he loves the El Paso desert and the 330+ days of sunshine (so he can downhill mountain bike and ride motorcycles), he also craves the winter slopes. Our 11-year-old son is doing a great job of keeping up with Cory on the black diamonds. We found the perfect compromise when we landed on Casa de la Vaca in Santa Fe! A beautiful, serene mountain get away nestled in the foothills of magical Canoncito. It’s a short drive for us and we love to stop along the way in Albuquerque. It is so kid friendly that we do trips to the museums, Explora, zoo, Mama’s minerals and our favorite Sawmill Market. In the summer, we can escape the heat in EP and with so much to do in Santa Fe we have a great place to visit all year round. We couldn’t be more excited to enjoy our second home and share it with family & friends and now thanks to platforms like VRBO with guests when we are not in town. A bit of a win, win. We love to travel and enjoy good cuisine, so Santa Fe really fits the bill. There are so many great restaurants, hiking trails, museums, spas, festivals, the opera, skiing, farmer’s markets, the second largest art market in the country, nearby Taos and Chimayo and the list goes on and on. It really is a cosmopolitan gem in the high desert. The VRBO vacation rental opportunity has allowed us to do what we love; meet new people, travel, and share our stories. We hope we get to meet you and hear your story. Best, Diana and Cory

There are also a few local eateries we like to support. Of course, we have Whole Foods, Trader Joes's and other chain supermarkets in downtown Santa Fe.

Sorry, felines only dogs are allowed. Pets are allowed with advanced approval at $75 per pet. This fee is included as we take added measures to thoroughly disinfect and sanitize the home to ensure there is no trace of a pet after each stay. We appreciate your cooperation in crating your pets when left alone and not allowing them on any furniture. We know our pets are family and we want them to travel with us, we have a cockapoo of our own, so we know.

We have hiking sticks available during your stay, adjust them and set out and explore. The items in the house are for our guests, so please feel free to enjoy. After a full day feel free to set up the portable massage table which has disposable covers for the headrest. There are also top rated spas in Santa Fe to choose from.
