Walk to the plaza & railyard! Classic & charming 2br/2ba adobe casita

** Casa Sonrisa is a fully-licensed short-term rental property. (City of Santa Fe short-term rental permit #11-00049485) **

Welcome to Casa Sonrisa! Walk everywhere from this darling casita in the hip & historic Guadalupe/Railyard neighborhood. Available to rent year-round, for multi-day, weekly, and monthly stays.

In this sweet adobe home, every effort has been made to assure you of a comfortable and memorable stay, starting with a 'welcome' bottle of New Mexico wine. We've decorated our casita with local art and furniture, and hope that it will feel like your own cheerful home in Santa Fe.

2 bedrooms sleep 4 people, with a queen bed in one room and a king bed in the other. Each is made up with a down comforter (non-down/hypo-allergenic comforters available upon request). There is also a sofa in the living room that folds out into a full-size bed, accommodating 1-2 more people. The master bedroom boasts its own kiva fireplace, and both bedrooms share a private outdoor patio. There is a bathroom adjoining the master bedroom, and another large bathroom in the main hallway. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan.

(Please note that the queen bed is somewhat high off the floor for some elderly or very young guests.)

The house is equipped with all the conveniences you might need during your stay: wifi, 2 televisions and DVD players, Smart TV/Streaming, a stereo, iPod speakers, W/D, D/W, linens/towels, hairdryers, terrycloth spa robes, and extra toiletries.

Traditional in style, the casita features extra high viga (beam) ceilings, 2 kiva fireplaces, brick floors throughout, and Mexican tile in the bathrooms and kitchen. Casa Sonrisa is a one-level home, making it a comfortable option for those who prefer no stairs.

There is off-street parking in front of the house for 1 vehicle.

We are pleased to offer a non-smoking environment.

My husband and I were able to stay in Santa Fe for the month of August and the casita was perfect! We loved the house, the amenities and most importantly the graciousness of our hosts! The neighborhood was so special and we were able to walk to downtown. Absolutely perfect and coming back to the casita each day was a joy!

The photos don’t even do it justice, this is one of the most gorgeous homes I’ve ever rented. The hosts were so warm and helpful too. The fireplaces, skylights, dimmers, and all around coziness will make you want to extend your trip. I walked to everything and felt very safe, no matter the hour. Be sure to check out the liquor store across the street with its adorable attached bar. Can’t wait to return!

First the host is fantastic. The home had the real feel of Santa Fe. Parking right at the door is a big plus in SF. Clean well stocked home, 2 big bedrooms, 2 large bathrooms full kitchen, and a dining room to sit 8. Close walk to downtown, or a fast drive. Sorry we can only give 5 stars, we will be back.

Hosts were great. Easy access with front door code. Good location, walking distance to all the sites. The only drawback for me was how dark it is in the living room. The other rooms had windows and sunlight, but the living room feels dark. Probably just a personal preference of mine, and may not matter to others.

Perfect little home with great access to town

We had a great stay at this home. It is a very well appointed home and a fully stocked kitchen. The home has great NM decor and is very comfy with an outdoor area to grill or sit and enjoy breakfast or coffee. We used the home as our base for exploring downtown Santa Fe and for hiking in the area. Thank you for the use of your home!

Stay at Casa Sonrisa in Santa Fe

First of all, and most importantly, we would stay at Casa Sonrisa again. It is very roomy with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen comes very well supplied with cooking utensils, spices, condiments, coffee, and all necessary appliances. There is a grill on the patio and furniture outside to enjoy the outside early spring weather. Downtown Santa Fe is only a five-minute walk. Taru supplied a full list of places to visit, like galleries and museums, restaurants and cafes, breweries and wineries, including a wine store and patio right across the street from our rental.The Railyard and Farmers' Market are short walks away. Public transportation is good. Buses run frequently, even on the weekends. The vast majority of storekeepers are dog-friendly. The property manager was easy to contact and responsive to our questions. There was off-street parking, though it was a little tight, but manageable. The dog park was within a mile and very large. Unfortunately, dog owners do not watch their pets as closely as they should, so if you go to The Ortiz, keep a sharp eye on your dog as well as other owners and dogs. Again, the next time we visit Santa Fe, we will want to rent Casa Sonrisa again.

About the host

Hosted by Taru & Mary

Host profile image
We're a mother and daughter who own the house together. Our family is originally from the Washington, DC area, and we also lived in Rome, Italy for 4 years. Currently, my mother lives in Virginia, and I live in Washington, DC. We're avid fans of the arts, especially music (our photo is at the Santa Fe opera), and lovers of the outdoors. Santa Fe is a great place for those things and more.

Casa Sonrisa is our family's home when we're in town, but primarily a vacation rental property for most of the year. While we are not local, our gracious caretaker will be available for any questions or concerns you may have during your stay. We look forward to hosting you soon!

Why they chose this property

The Guadalupe/Railyard neighborhood is thriving, with lots of shops, restaurants, galleries, and a great farmer's market within walking distance. Plus, the Santa Fe's famous plaza is just a short 10-minute walk away. Since we put down roots in this part of town in 2004, it continues to evolve and become more interesting every time we visit.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with our casita because it is sweet and unique. With architectural touches such as viga ceilings throughout, banco seating in the main room, and even a little nicho tucked into the hallway wall, our casita offers a cozy and traditional environment to our guests. Also, the location can't be beat!
