About this property

Renovated historic home, Quick walk to Plaza, Railyard District and Canyon Rd

Circa 1885 is a beautifully renovated, historic, open-floorplan home in downtown Santa Fe only a few blocks from the City Plaza, Canyon Road, Railyard District, museums, concert halls and the NM State Capitol Building. The home is spacious with 11'-12' high ceilings that welcome in the beautiful Santa Fe light, a modern full kitchen with dishwasher and gas range, a kiva instant on gas fireplace for cozy evenings and a private portal (porch) for sunny afternoons. The massive center adobe wall that divides the living space from the bedroom and bath was lovingly saved, reinforced and plastered as a sculptural homage to the home's legacy. Furnishings include a 19th Century Austrian Walnut wardrobe, luxurious solid wood four poster queen bed, an antique marble-topped vanity retrofitted with a vessel sink, Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams love seat and original lithographs from the 2019 Student Portfolio of UNM's prestigious Tamarind Institute. Immerse yourself in Santa Fe's rich heritage by making "Circa 1885" your home-base in Santa Fe.

Our commercial laundry service – the same laundry service used by most high-end hotels in Northern New Mexico - uses unscented, hypoallergenic detergent and extremely hot water. Sheets are lightly starched and ironed at 385 degrees.

Every aspect of our one week stay was exceptional! Location was fantastic as was the unit which was perfect for us (retired). It is well equipped & beautifully appointed and very quick response from owners when we had ??? And the bed was extremely comfortable! We vacation to eat out and we checked off most of eateries on our list. It’s a GEM and the owners are very quick to respond via msg or in person to help us! Love the history too so it was a great experience all around!!

Perfect spot for an extended stayI stayed here solo for a week while taking a class and it was the ideal setup. The location is unbeatable — walkable to the Plaza, Railyard District, and Canyon Road. The home is full of character with all the comforts you need for a longer stay, including a well-equipped kitchen and a cozy fireplace to unwind in the evenings after a long day. Clean, comfortable, and a great host. I’ll be back soon!

Great stay. Great location near Railyard district. Walking distance to Saturday and Sunday Markets. Owner was extremely responsible. Home was well appointed with everything you would need for a comfortable stay in Sante Fe. Unit was clean and the bed was super comfortable for a great night sleep which I appreciated. I look forward to visiting again and would stay at the same place. Access to designated parking was a plus as parking is a premium in Sante Fe. Only down side - the parking lot is dark at night. Sante Fe is relatively safe but something to be mindful of if parking and coming into the unit at night alone.

2nd time staying here and loved it again. They have though of everything and have decorated an old Adobe with comfortable, whimsical modern. Perfect location for walking to the tire, railyard area, the plaza, state capital and up to Canyon Road and it’s galleries. So much easier than finding parking. Highly recommend.

The host was welcoming, the space was beautiful, and the location was great. Unfortunately, when we arrived on a cold night, the room was in the 40s (so cold!) and it took hours to warm up. Also, the gate and front door were very difficult to open. Other than that, the stay was very good.
