About this property

Dark Sky Retreat Near Santa Fe

Welcome to Fenix Azul, your next romantic getaway, friends retreat, or family adventure with stargazing in the heart of the high desert. Soak up the private views from every window and enjoy BBQing from the deck while watching the sunset, then sit back and marvel at the stars and Milky Way. If you appreciate dark skies, this is the place for you! We even provide a telescope for your explorations of the cosmos! Imagine yourself relaxing and drinking your favorite beverage after shopping Canyon Road, and hiking the spectacular trails around Santa Fe. This charming 1700 sq.ft home is tastefully designed to give you a true Santa Fe experience with old school brick floors, two inviting kiva fireplaces (flameless candles only) and traditional viga ceilings. Come and enjoy numerous furnishings collected from nearby Santa Fe that deliver a New Mexico vibe. Newly landscaped yard and heating and cooling, freshly renovated kitchen and bathroom all make this property a pleasurable vacation experience. This gem has two living areas, each with their own candlelit fireplace. There's two master bedrooms (very firm queen/medium firm king) that share a bathroom and both have a private patio. An additional hallway bathroom is next to the third bedroom (soft queen). The three beds offer versatility for sleepers. There's also two single airbeds available. Fenix Azul sits on over an acre of land with large juniper trees protecting your privacy and offering a sanctuary for wildlife. There's plenty of hiking/running trails nearby as well as bike paths that travel throughout the community. The Rails To Trails runs right through Eldorado, going from the cute little town of Lamy all the way to Santa Fe. Galisteo Basin Preserve offers great hiking and is only a short drive. It's approximately a 25 minute drive to Santa Fe Plaza and 54 minutes to Ski Santa Fe.
The kitchen is fully stocked with the necessary tools to cook your favorite meal or perhaps try a local recipe from one of our cookbooks. The kitchen was renovated in 2020 and has all new stainless steel appliances and custom cabinets.
The whole house is yours except the detached garage. There is a large circle driveway so there's parking available up to four vehicles.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Renee Ferguson

Host profile image
My name is Renee and my husband is Rick. We were both born and raised in California and moved to New Mexico in the summer of 2019. We lost everything, including our home and two long term rentals in the Camp Fire that destroyed Paradise, Ca. November 8, 2018. We've found healing here in the Land of Enchantment.

Why they chose this property

Instead of replacing our long term rental with another one, we decided to venture into the short term rental business and Santa Fe was the perfect location due to it's beauty and rich cultural history. We looked in the city limits but found the rural Eldorado area with it's dark skies to be such a beautiful and peaceful area for a vacation destination.

What makes this property unique

We love the quiet and dark skies found here at FenixAzul as well as the flora and fauna of this high desert community. There are endless bike trails, including the Rails to Trails path that takes you from Lamy, through Eldorado and on to the city of Santa Fe. The Galisto Basin Preserve is a quick drive down the road and there are several excellent restaurants nearby with patio dining. I'm a snow skier and I love the close proximity to Ski Santa Fe. After a long day of playing in the snow or a hike in the aspens, it's so nice to come back to this cozy home. The howling of the coyotes, curious cottontail rabbits and occasional bobcat sightings are an added plus. However, the views surrounding this home are the main feature and the sunrises and sunsets are our favorites!
