A Home Built with Love — and a Life Well Lived

This home has a story worth telling.

In the sixties, a young woman from Calgary, Canada made her way to the American Southwest — first as a flight attendant for American Airlines, then as a wife, a mother, and ultimately a proud New Mexican. Along the way she called Tulsa, Midland, and Amarillo home before finally planting roots in Santa Fe in the 80's, the city that would capture her heart for good.

In Santa Fe she thrived — serving on civic community boards, building a career in real estate, and raising a family in the warm adobe glow of the high desert. She built this house herself in 1984, pouring into it the same care and intention she brought to everything she touched.

Today, her children and grandchildren are the proud stewards of this home — preserving it not just as a property, but as a living tribute to a remarkable woman and the life she built here.

When you stay with us, you're not just booking a house. You're stepping into a place filled with decades of family memories, laughter, and love — and we're honored to share it with you.

Welcome. Make yourself at home. She would have wanted it that way.

Where Santa Fe Soul Meets Every Modern Comfort

Some vacation homes are decorated to look like Santa Fe. This one is Santa Fe.
Built in 1984 by a woman who knew this city intimately — a real estate professional, a civic leader, a true New Mexican by choice — every detail of this home reflects a deep love for the Southwest and the people who would one day call it their temporary refuge.

Thick Adobe Walls That Tell the Truth

These aren't cosmetic. The authentic adobe construction that defines this home has been keeping families cool in summer and cozy in cooler desert nights for over forty years. Paired with rich wood accents in the living room, the atmosphere is unmistakably, unapologetically Santa Fe — warm, textured, and real.

A Home That Opens Up to You

Here's what you won't find in most vacation rentals: every single bedroom has its own private exterior door leading to the backyard, courtyard, or deck. Wake up and step directly outside. No hallways, no waiting — just the crisp high desert air and the quiet that Santa Fe mornings are made of. It transforms the outdoor spaces from an amenity into a way of life.

Art Everywhere. On Purpose.

This isn't a home staged with prints from a big box store. Original artwork fills every room — collected over decades with a discerning eye — giving each space its own personality and conversation.

All the Soul. None of the Sacrifice.

Central air conditioning keeps you comfortable through warm Southwest afternoons. Smart TVs are ready when you want a quiet night in. The modern conveniences are all here — they just don't compete with the character.

A Home With Heart

This property has been in the same family since it was built. Her children and grandchildren are its proud stewards today, sharing it with guests who appreciate a place that has been genuinely lived in and genuinely loved.

You'll feel the difference the moment you walk in.
