Beautiful Home Just Outside Santa Fe

It is an easy drive to Santa Fe from this location. Perfect for traveling to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and surrounding areas. The house is very comfortable. Jose goes out of his way to make sure you are happy and have everything that you need.

Lovely getaway, well-appointed

Absolutely charming house; the space is very functional / easy to move around in. We stayed with 2 couples and found everything wonderful. The listing is well-detailed. Check-in instructions were received in a timely manner, with the recommendation that we shouldn’t try to arrive / find the house for first time in the dark. We agree with that (even though we arrived in the daylight.)

Great time in La Cienega!

Everything was absolutely perfect during our stay here. The house was very clean, nicely decorated and had everything we could possibly need. The outlets in one of the bedrooms were not worked we arrived due to a breaker. We were unable to locate the breaker box but the host arrived to take of the problem within the hour. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Place

Authentically decorated house which fit six of us very comfortably for our time sleeping, eating, and relaxing. Has an amply stocked kitchen, supply closet/laundry room, linen closet, and bathrooms. Hot tub was clean and worked. Probably the best stocked VRBO I've ever been in, actually. Nice welcome book with plenty of suggestions for local attractions, not too many rules or restrictions, cleaning responsibilities were very manageable. Located in a semi-private neighborhood with interesting places to explore, like the water out back, and the church and cemetery out front. We loved hearing the neighbor's animals (chickens, goats, cows?) lol.We talked about how much we loved being at this house while we were there and we would certainly stay there again.

Quiet and just as advertised

We were looking for a quiet location and we got it! the house was clean and the amenities were just as described in the listing. I wish the kitchen had a few more products (baking sheets, aluminum foil) but you just never know. The owner was very fast to respond to questions and worked with us quickly on one issue.

Great Stay in Santa Fe

We highly recommend staying at Jose and Andrea's property when you visit New Mexico, you will be glad you did. They are excellent hosts who care about making their rental guests comfortable. A/C broke before our stay and they purchased cooling units to keep the place cool (though in evenings it cools down if you can sleep with open windows - we could not due to allergies). They kept us up-to-date on the a/c repair and made sure we were cool and comfortable in the house. They provide you with coffee, the place is spacious and clean, the beds are comfortable and the location is ideal. When staying in Santa Fe this is a great rental choice!

We loved this hidden gem

Our stay at La Cienega was great. In my initial request on VRBO to rent La Cienega I mentioned that I would be travelling with my children in their mid 20's and my 3 yr old grandson. Our host Andrea reached out to see if we needed anything to help accommodate his stay as well as ours. Andrea was readily available to communicate and answer any questions we had throughout or stay. Our check-in was easy. The La Cienega home is conveniently located a quick 10 minutes from Sante Fe and a few miles from Santa Fe Ojo Mineral Springs in the historic town of La Cienega. The home included a whole lot more for a nice private relaxing stay outside of town, but still close enough to enjoy the town of Santa Fe as well. The home is spacious and is well stocked with so much more than the necessities to feel as comfortable as you are at home while on vacation. While we did experience meals out, we were also comfortable staying in. We had plush clean comfortable beds and lots of windows for great views of the snowy terrain as it had just snowed the morning we arrived. There is also a small creek on the property that makes for a fun stroll next to the home. Our five day stay was not enough time and we all absolutely loved what my grandson calls the "Holiday House". Thank you again!

Perfect location, perfect rental. Period

Don’t be fooled as you enter the town of La Cienega, this is the perfect spot just outside of Santa Fe to commute to everything near and far. Occasionally you find a rental that you say “That’d be how I’d do it, because I’d do it right if I were an owner”. This is that place. Perhaps one of the best places I’ve ever rented on VRBO. Because it was rented by a human, an owner (not a company) who put mad efforts into this place in both design and construction. The artwork alone in the house is world class, as good as any gallery downtown. The hot tub was the biggest hot tub we’ve ever had in a rental (real jacuzzi brand). The back patio was amazing, we sat out there every night. The TV had every app installed when we rented, this is quite unusual, but we took advantage in downtime. There are plenty of supplies of consumables (soap, paper towels, tp, laundry etc), as well as a huge stash of condiments, cooking oil etc. Owners were communicative and responsive and flexible too. We can’t say enough about this place. Being not right downtown we found a huge advantage, going up to the mountains (Taos, Sandia Crest), or to Albuquerque proper. Incredible sunsets every night on the patio. And it was cheaper too. An amazing rental with amazing hosts. A must stay!

Girls week in Santa Fe

We rented this property for a week to explore Santa Fe and the surrounding area. The home is in a rural area, with neighbors not too far away. It is a very clean, well decorated and comfortable, the internet worked well to check in with work each morning. Love the outdoor patio and fenced back yard. Beds were very comfortable, bathrooms, and kitchen were well stocked. (Coffee, pancake mix and syrup!) We were not traveling with children, but there were items in the house to accommodate. We did contact the host just to let them know we arrived without issue and that we had left. Both times he was very responsive. Love everything about this property!

What a gem!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. We would return here and would recommend it to friends. The home is relatively new and is well furnished. We hosted five adults with no issues. The property is clean and well cared-for. We had spectacular sunsets over the hills from the back porch, and enjoyed the quiet location in a rural setting. The home is conveniently situated between Santa Fe (15 min) and Albuquerque (45 min). We loved the small Catholic church across the road from the house (La Capilla) and attended Mass there Sunday 10:00 am. This is a good choice to be near Santa Fe but out of the urban hustle and bustle.

About the host

Hosted by Jose La Cruz-Crawford

Host profile image
I'm originally from Peru and grew up in Denver, Colorado. Currently live in Santa Fe, NM.

Looking to travel more, experience more, love more, and live more. Hope to have the chance to call your place home during my travels. I'm also a host and its been a joy to share our place with others.

Why they chose this property

We own the property next door and this property came up for sale and we hopped on it. This area is simply gorgeous and it's not that often that you get the opportunity to expand your creekside property by an additional 4 acres. We look forward to sharing this new home with others so they can also experience the beauty of this area.

What makes this property unique

This property abuts the La Cienega creek which runs seasonally during the year. The area is simply beautiful with mature cottonwoods running along the creek. The fact that you can walk down the property and feel like you're somewhere in the mountains next to a creek is amazing. The stars at night are spectacular. It's located in a rural traditional farming community and you feel like you're away from it all yet its only 15 minutes away from Santa Fe. You get the privacy and relaxation or rural living but can easily take a trip to Santa Fe to see the sights.
