Everything was perfect except the stairs. I did not realize the steps were there. I have some trouble walking and there was no handrail. That was tough for me but I had my husband to help me. Otherwise perfect! Great neighborhood-perfect.

Repeat guest

My wife and I have stayed at the Upper Canyon Studio many times over the years. It is the first place we think of if we are planning a trip to Santa Fe. The studio is perfect for a couple and is beyond convenient for exploring the city. The studio is setup so you can come and go as needed, but the owner is always available if a need arises. Private, quiet and well located. We can highly recommend it if it fits your needs.

I had to leave early to return to my home in phoenix for a reported leak. I received no refund - which I understand per the lease agreement. BUT the owner asked for an additional fee for credit card processing charges. She had 3 weeks of my rented month to finish remodeling the unit in anticipation of the next guest.

High Desert Bliss

This property contributed greatly to our enjoyable stay in Santa Fe! The location, lack of toxic chemical fragrance and modern design were not only in alignment with us but made our stay very peaceful and comfortable. The private courtyard and window with views of nature were much enjoyed.Tushita was very accommodating and communicative while respecting our privacy. We hope to be back and make this a regular stay.I highly recommend this casita!Diane

Impeccably clean and relaxing stay

The property was wonderful and the host was very helpful. The kitchen was well equipped, and had all that I needed. There was plenty of natural light and windows with beautiful views. It was a perfect distance from anything you’d want to do from the square, railyard district and canyon road. I’ll definitely stay here again!

Perfect location, clean, quiet and comfortable

Perfect location, close to everything but off the beaten path so you can decompress. We walked our dog all around the neighborhood and found everything we needed within a 15 minute drive. The studio is very quiet and cozy. The heated floors and adjustable lighting makes everything feel comfortable and calm.

Swank, private and special

My husband, baby and I stayed here and LOVED it! Location is super, only about 10 minute (enjoyable) walk to Canyon Road Galleries. Wonderful amenities, very thoughtfully appointed Studio and truly a delight to stay at! Highly recommend, the pictures look really nice, but when you arrive it is even better.

About the host

Hosted by Tushita

Host profile image
Upper Canyon Studio is an owner-operated vacation rental, situated on 3/4 acres in the heart of Santa Fe, yet 5 minutes from restaurants, shopping, galleries, museums, and hiking. I purchased the property in 2007, designed, renovated, and began offering it as a vacation rental in 2008. Located off the road and surrounded by pinon and juniper, UCS offers the best of both worlds, a private getaway in the heart of the city.

As a designer, I wanted to create a modern environment, that still maintained a sense of place, which would give travelers a beautiful, peaceful, and unique Santa Fe experience.

Over the years, I've met hundreds of wonderful and interesting people and enjoy a healthy percentage of returning guests. Thanks for considering Upper Canyon Studio for your upcoming visit!
