About this property

Luxurious Zen Retreat eight minutes from the Plaza - Closest to Skiing!

You'll experience all that Santa Fe has to offer when you stay in our beautifully appointed piece of paradise, located a lovely eight-minute drive from the bustling Santa Fe Plaza. Our newly remodeled, utterly peaceful 900 s.f. one-bedroom retreat is filled with light and integrated with nature with large windows providing views of pinion pine, clouds and blue sky at every turn. Located in an exclusive gated community of luxury homes in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, it is tastefully furnished with lots of special touches to make your stay unforgettable: Our perfectly appointed and fully-equipped deluxe European kitchen features Miele appliances and a Nespresso machine; our dining area has views our comfortable queen bed is covered in luxury linens; our slate bathroom with large walk-in shower is filled with plenty of plush towels; and there's plenty of closet space plus a convenient washer/dryer.

After a busy day of roaming the town you'll appreciate the absolute silence and serene aura that envelops our little Casita. Grab a book from our extensive library to read and enjoy the view at the same time while perched on our comfy leather daybed. If you'd like to get even closer to nature you can explore the Dale Ball hiking trails, just a five-minute walk away. Or if you love to relax -- look no further. We're located just below the world famous Ten Thousand Waves Japanese spa --take a soak in one of their authentic outdoor tubs or book a massage in a private pavilion nestled among the pine. It's an experience not to be missed. We can also arrange for your own personal therapist right in the comfort of your private Zen retreat. If you're a skier, we're right on the road heading up to the Santa Fe Ski Basin, named one of the 12 top small ski resorts in the U.S. by Conde Nast Traveler. Ours is one of the closest homes you can get to the lifts, 12 miles door to door. We're also six short miles to the Santa Fe Opera.

Once you're in for the evening, crank up the barbie and enjoy a quiet dinner on our private outdoor deck. If you can pull yourself away from the awe-inspiring carpet of stars that fills the night sky. you'll appreciate our 52" flat screen TV and Sonos sound system to create your ambiance of choice.

Our family-friendly great room room sofa can double as twin daybeds at night, and we're happy to welcome a couple with two children or teens. Please note that the rate quoted is a base rate for two guests; there is an additional $25 per stay, per person charge for a third or fourth guest.

We do require the purchase of a one-time $59 fee to cover property damage (to protect us and you) from unexpected problems. This is purchased as part of the VRBO check out process.

Don't miss your chance to stay at this wonderful spot -- so close to the bustle of the Plaza, but a thousand miles of serenity away.

A get away from Dallas
The Casita was a very warm and welcoming place. From the, “Welcome to the Casita”, hand written note, to the deer walking past the property in the early morning. This place is a 10 out of 10. It was clean, well maintained, the instruction manual was clear on what to do in all situations. The grocery stores and the downtown area were about 5-10 minutes away. The nights were quiet, safe and the open screened windows let in a welcomed cool breeze. Michelle was the perfect host for this VRBO. When we first got to the Casita, she greeted us and show us around. I thought that was very sweet of her. We took advantage of the nearby hiking trails and sightseeing in downtown Santa Fe. We had a fantastic time and will return to Santa Fe in the near future.

Great getaway
The house was clean and comfortable, the property was secluded but a short drive from everything, and the host, Michelle, was on-site, lovely, and responsive. We've come to Santa Fe almost yearly since 1982, and Michelle's house beats a hotel any day. If you seek peace and quiet, this house is perfect for two.

Exceptional Experience
I've been staying in vacation rentals for about 20 years and this property exceeds any other. Scrupulously clean, beautifully maintained and anything you need for your stay is there. And, Michelle, the property owner, was gracious and generous. I'd forgotten my phone charger and she loaned me one. Little details such as that made for a lovely stay. My only regret is that my vacation wasn't longer!
