Location: Other Santa Fe Properties, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA (45 minute drive from Albuquerque airport) View Map
Accommodations: Townhome, 2 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Townhouse with unobstructed views of the Sangre and Jemez mountain ranges from every window. Sunset deck off master bedroom. Second bedroom also has full bath. Located in quiet neighborhood, with open space and miles of trails. Large 2 car garage. Gas kiva fireplace, beams and vigas exude Southwestern feel. Santa Fe enjoys a semi-arid climate. Due to the 7000-ft elevation, summers are extremely mild with warm sunny days and cool breezy nights. Air conditioning is seldom necessary in Santa Fe (although this townhouse does include it). There is a double inflatable bed available; in good weather, it could easily be used in the large garage.
Nestled between the Sangre de Cristo Mountains (east) and the Jemez Mountains (west), winters are usually mild although nights are often below freezing. The low humidity and clear blue skies free from and smog produces one of the most healthful in the US. Sun shines 300 days/yr. As an Easterner, this climate is super, as the aridness produces much sunshine and little humidity, which, at both hot and cold temperatures, makes one feel great!

To reserve, please first contact me through email or phone. I require a 25% deposit at the time of booking.

In summer, the Santa Fe Opera and the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival put on highly-praised performances. The Lensic Theater, near the town plaza, is open year-round presenting a wide range of music, dance, and talk. A beautiful 60-mile drive along the High Road brings you to the unique and colorful town of Taos.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Other Santa Fe PropertiesFor me, Santa Fe has perfect weather, including four seasons. It is usually sunny and dry, even in the winter when there is snow. I also greatly enjoy exploring the Native American and Hispanic cultures.
The Unique Benefits at this TownhomeI love the mountain views and the quiet neighborhood with miles of walking trails. The neighborhood coffee shop has great food AND coffee and is a nice place to hang out and meet people.
Owner's Map of Other Santa Fe Properties
This is my second vacation rental property. The first is a log cabin in Vermont on Lake Champlain, 45 minutes north of Burlington (VRBO #226970, homeaway 124362). That property I built from scratch, buying the lot and being the general contractor on the log home. As my children got older and didn't want to spend the summers at the cabin, I started to rent it out. That's how it started. It was so successful and I enjoyed it so much that I bought the Santa Fe property, in a much different location! I also enjoy displaying my watercolor paintings at the properties. I have 3 dogs, 2 daughters and 1 cat, and live in Indianapolis most of the year. I've worked in the past as an actuary and a software tester.

We thoroughly enjoyed our month's visit in this comfortable, homey condo. Having both bedrooms with en suite bathrooms was great for 2 women. Everything we needed to prepare meals was readily available and the washer/dryer was so convenient. Loved the indoor garage, much nicer than on street parking. We felt very safe walking all over the 15 miles of asphalt trails throughout the housing areas. The trails (and park across the street from the condo) made this a perfect place to be with our pooches who love their daily walks. Shopping, (Albertson, Target, WalMart, Penny's, etc.) only about 3 miles away. Kathy (condo owner) provided great tourist info and maps. A small problem with a leaky toilet was quickly resolved with a phone call to Kathy who called her local serviceman to repair as quickly as he could. Kathy is great to deal with on a personal level and I would definitely stay in her condo on my next visit to Santa Fe!

The property had everything that was expected and more. The owner was extremely accommodating.Property was clean & well maintained. The location was great - we wanted close to places of interest but not right in the hub of downtown. There was a major shopping center nearby. Tons of walking tracks close to the property.There were 4 of us (2 from Colorado and 2 from Australia) Santafe and Taos were fascinating - something not seen elsewhere in the USA. We would thoroughly recommend the property for your stay in the area and also would recommend Santafe/Taos as must places to visit. Given the opportunity we would gladly return to this property. FYI price was very reasonable compared with others nearby. Thank you so much for recommending this property through home away.

Kathy, We have stayed in several vacation rentals, in CA, WA, AZ, and this house has by far been the very best! It’s clean and so welcoming. You have made this a home, and we thoroughly enjoyed our brief weekend stay. We have already talked about coming back for a much longer stay. It’s so quiet – what a delight! Wonderful, close walking trails – it’s been great. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality! Jim & Shelly Colorado

Kathy, This week has been incredible. We felt that returning to the condo after a day in Santa Fe or Taos or the mountains was a destination. It was so relaxing and inviting. We watched sunsets from the deck – very magical. Thank you for extending your hospitality. Bob & Deb Jill & Leo

7-28-08 This has been great! You thought of everything. We talked of keeping this our secret, but already friends have asked us for the info. We will be back sooner than later. Hope to see you in the fall. It’s clean, quiet and so near to everything. Best of luck with this and we’ll call you soon, as well as some of our friends, I’m sure. Thanks again, Roger & Jenna Kathy – What a great vacation we have had! And your townhome has made us feel as though we were at home. It is so nice and clean and has everything you need. This area is so quiet – perfect for a place to get away. We have certainly enjoyed ourselves. We will recommend it to our friends – lots of people in Dallas come to Santa Fe! Hope to see you again soon! Kind regards, Lynn & Hal Dallas, TX
