About this property

Casita Artista: Great Location & Great Price

Casita Artista-

Relax in a delightful Santa Fe casita; put your feet up, make yourself at home. Recently remodeled in true Santa Fe style, the one bedroom, one bath unit has an artist’s sense of style and color. Original artwork is present throughout the casita (Denver artist Patricia Zilinski is featured).
Enjoy your first cup of coffee for the day on your private deck while viewing the mystical Sangre de Christo Mountains. The local birds will be your serenade.
Explore Santa Fe…the Plaza is just blocks away and Canyon Road is so reachable on foot. The Casita is located just off Artist Road, making Santa Fe ski area and 10,000 Waves so close. Santa Fe Opera is easy to get to…finish your day with World Class entertainment in the Summer. Or endulge with your favorite cocktail on the Casita deck, before a fabulous dinner in town.
Too cold to sit outside? A toasty fire in the Pueblo-style fireplace with a cup of tea or glass of wine will warm you up!
Off street parking next to the coyote fenced garden makes arrival easy. Entry is into a large fully stocked kitchen and breakfast area. Red brick floor and a working wood fireplace add to the ambiance; a high ceiling and skylight brighten the kitchen area.
The living room has tile floors, a kiva fireplace and vigas, which all add to the Santa Fe atmosphere. The couch is also a queen size sofa bed available for additional guests. A leather chair with footstool makes for a comfortable place to enjoy an enticing fire in the kiva fireplace.
Just off of the living room is a large bathroom with a shower-tub, heat lamps and expansive counter. A washer/dryer in located in the bathroom. The master bedroom has hardwood floors with a queen size wrought iron bed.
For the price, you will not find a better value for this great of a location. Also make sure that your short term rental is legal and has a permit from the City of Santa Fe. We have a permit (STR156201).

The Casita Artista is a lovely place to call home while in Santa Fe. It has everything, and then some, a guest might need or want! It gets top marks for cleanliness, comfort, decor including wonderful artworks, and convenience. I loved spending mornings on the porch sipping coffee and watching the sunrise over the mountains while planning my day. Parking was good. is in a very nice neighborhood and easy walking distance to the Plaza, museums, shops and restaurants. I appreciated the call from the owner to find out if I was enjoying my stay there. Santa Fe is my favorite city to visit and I look forward to staying at Casita Artista again.

Just the right size and close to town

We enjoyed staying at this place. We were able to walk to the old town where there are many galleries, shops, and points of interest. The "casita" was very comfortable and had a well-supplied kitchen. Having the washing machine inside was a real plus. Thank you for a great stay.

A true find!

The casita was warm and welcoming, well-equipped, with a great fenced backyard. The location was very convenient to many of Santa Fe's treasures. A block away was Ft. Marcy park - a wonderful destination for a swim and to take our dog for a morning walk.Hope to return in the future.

Charming, well-located casita

We enjoyed our stay in this charming adobe casita. It is in a great location -- an easy walk to the central plaza square, restaurants, churches and museums, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. We also enjoyed morning coffee and late afternoons on the outdoor porch and fenced in garden and patio.

Cozy, quiet, comfortable, and so clean

Great stay in a super town. Lots to do in and around Santa Fe and the Casita is a wonderful place to relax after a day of sight seeing. The Casita had everything we needed for our two week stay. And it was fun. We got to use a red toaster and a powerful red blender. The bed was super comfy. The washer/dryer was easy to use and very convenient. We highly recommend this property.

Perfect home base

I came to Santa Fe for a workshop, and used the casita as my home base. I wanted a place that gave me a Santa Fe vibe - not a generic hotel feel. It fit the bill perfectly and I enjoyed coming home each evening and spending a little time in the garden. The location was great and the casita had everything I needed. I felt comfortable that my host would be available if I needed any help. It began to feel like home after a week, and I hated to leave!

Good Location

The location of this property was ideal. I appreciated the well stocked kitchen, the comfortable bed and the scent free linens and towels. I found the interior of the property to be very dark and depressing. The one window air conditioning unit in the living room was not sufficient to cool the entire casita. Central air conditioning and updated decor would make this a 5 star plus location.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 11, 2023
In summer, the Casita Artista is usually a cool oasis during the heat of the day, perfect for a traditional Siesta. In winter it is a warm, cozy retreat. Our guest experienced Santa Fe during an extreme heat event all over the southwest U.S. Normal high summer temps are mid 80's during the day and mid 50's at night. The High Desert (7,000 ft above sea level) climate is dry with low humidity; we have a window AC unit in the living room, ceiling fan in the bedroom, and several free standing movable fans if needed. Because of the dry climate and high altitude, AC is rarely needed

Wonderful Week at the Casita Artista

We came to NM for business, leisure, and seeing friends from 20yrs ago. Our stay at Casita Artista helped us accomplish all of these. We were able to walk to the Plaza for dinner, shopping, meeting friends, sightseeing - only about a 10 minute walk. As a home base for hiking and exploring the NP and historical sites, the Casita was perfect - Bandelier, Los Alamos, Puye Cliff Dwellings, Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, Tsankawi - we could do these in the mornings and still be back to enjoy downtown Sante Fe. Both the Host and the local contacts were prompt in replying to any concerns. Would stay at the Casita Artista again if visiting Sante Fe again.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Zilinski

Host profile image
After attending graduate school at the University of New Mexico, both of us fell in love with the Southwest: the landscape, the people and the combination of three different cultures: Hispanic, Indian and Anglo. Santa Fe is in many ways the cultural hub of New Mexico if not the western US. Being one of the oldest cities in North America, it has a long and intriguing history. Because of its history and diversity, Santa Fe has attracted people who love the beauty of the high desert along with the freedom and creativity of the West. We both hope that you enjoy your stay at our condo and your time in Santa Fe.

Bob and Patricia

Why they chose this property

We bought this unit in 1987 and had it as a long term rental for many years. However since we wanted to have a place to stay when we visit Santa Fe, we converted it to a short term rental several years ago.

What makes this property unique

As they say in real estate, Location, Location, Location!!! We are blocks from the Plaza and Canyon Road. To explore downtown, we park the car and walk.
