Great hacienda for a Christmas getaway!

We had a very nice stay. It was a very comfortable, clean, and spacious home. Nice big kitchen, comfortable beds, nice linens, and a wood stove which made the living room cozy. We felt especially welcomed when the owner left a couple of treats for us for our arrival. I would highly recommend this accommodation for your Santa Fe trip!

Kristen thank you for choosing to stay at Hacienda de Leyba for Christmas!

We make every effort to have a clean and comfortable home for our guests to enjoy in their home away from home so thank you for noting that. I agree the kitchen is quite spacious and a great gathering place. We hope to see you again!

Eclectic and funky place to stay near Santa Fe full of fun Knick knacks and decor. Host was super easy to work with and had great communication. Our two young kids had a great time. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. I do feel like things weren’t fully cleaned prior to us arriving. The tub was dirty and had hair in it and the rugs had hair balls and dust bunnies all over them. Aside from that it was pretty great.

Great Place

The house was perfect. The location just outside the city was quiet and all of Santa Fe was easily accessible. The house was fully stocked. The wood burning fireplace was perfect for the chilly nights. The second floor patio was great for enjoying a drink and watching the sunrise. The owners were very helpful with ideas for local food and attractions.

Thank you David! It was great having you and your family stay at Hacienda de Leyba.

Quiet, Comfortable, and Convenient

What a great place for our family to gather for the holidays! Spacious living area, well-stocked kitchen, plenty of sleeping spaces. Even enjoyed the deck space in the winter weather. Home is in a quiet area with beautiful views. A short drive to downtown and convenient to major roads if you are venturing north or south from Santa Fe. Host was very welcoming, messaging us during our stay to check-in and providing great arrival, departure, and Santa Fe area information. Highly recommend for families!

Great Unit, Great Location

My family is from the Santa Fe area. We stayed there during the Thanksgiving holiday. The house was great and the location was perfect. The house was very well equipped for "thanksgiving cooking." The only cons I have: small outdated TV, stove would not boil water, oven needs to be calibrated. Outside of that, the stay was great. House was very clean and in amazing condition.

Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr 2020

Thank you for the letting us know about the oven and stove, we are having them both checked. As far as the tv, it is only 3 years old but we have had no complaints to date. When they do go out, we will upgrade to a larger size. We strive to have the home clean and appreciate knowing if things are not working properly. We want our guests to be comfortable and feel at home. We hope you return again.

Spacious and quiet stay in Santa Fe

This was a great place for our family of five over the Christmas-New Year's break, with plenty of space for all. We loved the authenticity of the architecture, the comfortable beds, two baths, and the huge kitchen that had everything we needed including a beautiful view of the Jemez Mountains. The Franklin stove was nice for warmth. The location is very quiet and rural, yet only a short drive to the center of town. Overall a very positive experience. The only negatives were that the upper floor was very cold and the lighting in several areas could be improved.

Great location, Very Spacious

We had a great time at Flora’s unit! There were 5 adults and we had ample space, and there were big common areas: the kitchen, dining room, and living room. We didn’t ever hear the neighboring units and the property is perfectly located— minutes away from anything downtown but you still get the great views of being in the dessert. We had a little trouble with the WiFi, but we know that those problems can happen and are usually from the Internet provider and not the owner. It was nice having the washer/dryer and fully stocked kitchen. We feel like we got a true Santa Fe experience on our little getaway.

Thank you Kaitlin! It is indeed satisfying to know you all had a great time staying at Hacienda de Leyba. We agree, the common areas are very roomy and we try to keep the kitchen well stocked for our guests needs and the views are indeed wonderful, especially our sunsets! We hope you return in the near future! It was a pleasure hosting you and your family.

Magical place in land of enchantment

We had a wonderful stay at the hacienda. The property was as described with outstanding views of the landscape. This was a quiet neighborhood that felt out of town, yet the plaza was a short drive away as were multiple hiking trails. We took several day trips to Taos, Chimayo, and Los Alamos. The unit is very spacious with plenty of room to spread out. We particularly enjoyed the upstairs den with the gorgeous views and great light. Flora and her family were very responsive and immediately addressed minor glitches with internet and wood stove.

Christmas in Santa Fe

We are from eastern New Mexico and decided to spend Christmas in beautiful Santa Fe. This home was absolutely perfect for our family of 6! The house is well stocked and the location is quiet with an absolutely beautiful view of the mountains. Wanette was very helpful and prompt with the few questions we had and arranged to have extra firewood brought to us. We did not expect it so quickly, and were so appreciative of Jose bringing it to us on Christmas Eve morning. We absolutely love this home and will be back!

Thank you for sharing the beautiful floral bouquet too. We look forward to your return and it is amazing what a small world we live in! Happy New Year!

About the host

Hosted by Flora Leyba

Both my husband and I were born and raised here in New Mexico. We are in our mid 80's with 2 married children. We have 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. We love to travel and have been blessed to see many beautiful parts of the world. There is still no place lovelier than Santa Fe and we hope to share our love of Santa Fe and its surrounding area with our guests.

Why they chose this property

Growing up in northern New Mexico we are accustomed to haciendas (several dwellings under one roof) where families lived near each other. The entire house is set up as four separate units under one roof. This is the largest main unit with three bedrooms and two baths.

What makes this property unique

The views from the property of all the mountains are superb! Spectacular sunrises over the Sangre de Cristo mountains to colorful sunsets over the Jemez Mountains. Just outside the city limits but close enough to drive to either the Santa Fe Plaza, Santa Fe Opera, Santa Fe Ski area and easy access to Albuquerque.
