Casa de la Vaca I – Peaceful Guest House on 5 Acres Near Santa Fe

For over a decade, Casa de la Vaca I has welcomed guests seeking peace, comfort, and the beauty of nature. This private adobe guest house sits on 5 wooded acres in the Cañoncito area, just 12 miles from Santa Fe Plaza and 3 miles off the Eldorado exit. With nearby hiking trails, starry night skies, and panoramic mountain views, it’s the perfect escape while still being close to great restaurants, the Agora Market, and historic Route 66. Pet-friendly with prior approval ($75 per pet).

The Space
This two-level, one-bedroom casita has been fully refreshed and thoughtfully furnished. The living room features heated brick floors, a comfortable sofa bed (fits 1 adult or 1–2 children), and a small workspace. The full kitchen offers new cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, an island, and all the essentials for cooking. Upstairs, the cozy loft bedroom has a queen bed and full bathroom with subway tile. Outside, enjoy a private patio and courtyard with a grill, sitting area, and space for yoga or morning coffee under the portal.

Special Notes:
1. Water – Our water comes from a shared underground well. It is filtered through a triple ozone system, multi-stage filtration, and reverse osmosis for drinking. While perfectly safe, it may carry a mild sulfur scent, common in remote mountain areas. If you prefer city water, you may want to stay in town.
2. Access & Parking – All-wheel drive is recommended in winter. You’ll travel 800 feet of unpaved road before reaching our gravel driveway. Parking is available at the stonework by the left entrance. A complimentary Level 2 EV charger (NEMA 10-30 with Tesla adapter) is available in the carport.
3. Guest House - there is another rental home adjacent to this property on the right which is the main house. There is a courtyard separating the two homes. We ask our guests to be respectful of other guests andd neighbors and keep noise to a minimum. Each home has their own private entrances and outdoor spaces.

Location & Activities
Casa de la Vaca I borders a 4,000-acre nature preserve with miles of well-marked hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails. Hiking sticks are provided for your use. At night, enjoy exceptional stargazing thanks to minimal light pollution. Downtown Santa Fe’s world-class dining, art, and shopping are just a 20-minute drive away.

Cleanliness & Comfort
We follow enhanced cleaning protocols for your safety and peace of mind.

Pet Policy
We welcome well-behaved dogs (sorry, no cats) with prior approval and a $75 fee per pet. Please crate dogs when left alone and keep them off the furniture. We love pets—we have a cockapoo named Cash—but also strive to respect guests with allergies.

Nearby Dining
Within minutes, you’ll find local favorites such as Café Fina, Bourbon Grill, and Harry’s Roadhouse. Grocery stores, gas, and shops are nearby in Eldorado, and Santa Fe offers Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and countless restaurants for every palate. Our Welcome Book and online guide include our top recommendations.

Additional Options
Need more space? The main house (Casa de la Vaca II) next door has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Rent both homes together as Casa de la Vaca III to enjoy the entire property—ideal for family gatherings or retreats. VRBO property ID 3123139

We look forward to hosting you!

Amazing host, Diana was very attentive and responsive,also surprised us with a beautiful note and bouquet of flowers for our anniversary. Note that this is a somewhat remote canyon location, which brings a quiet and cozy getaway and the architecture, New Mexico is known for, certainly shines here with modern amenities. Diana shows that she truly cares about her guests in her communications and efforts to make our stay the best it could be. Thank you, Diana.

Quintessentail Adobe-Style SW Property

This is a beautiful property 30 minutes from SF, which allows you more peace and quiet and amazing star gazing at night. Although host is upfront about the issues with the well water, I found this to be an issue for me. She was attentive to my concerns and a new filter on the shower head was installed during my stay. They have also recently installed a 5-gallon primo water system. This was a working vacation for me, and although there is a separate desk, the lighting and seating were not adequate for my personal needs. Especially to have to sit for any length of time and work on the computer. Not an issue for most people here just for vacation. Lovely host. Lovely property! The outdoor areas are very comfortable for sitting and enjoying the surrounding nature.

Retirement trip to Northern New Mexico

The property is easy to get to from the freeway but set apart from the busyness of Santa Fe—a nice and quiet location. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you might need to cook a meal, and the yard is peaceful and even has a hammock! Host replied promptly to any requests or questions. Highly recommend a stay here!

Great Casita Stay

This is a beautiful little casita, nestled in the foothills near Santa Fe. The location was as scenic as it was peaceful, and it proved to be perfectly suited distance-wise for our day trips into Santa Fe proper, like La Plaza and the many other surrounding attractions. In addition to that, there was great communications from the owner which is always a plus. Five stars for sure.

What a delightful stay! 100% recommended!

We stayed at this property for a week or so. The property is exactly as described. It is a little bit far from the city centre if you must stay in the action. However, we love the location because it is a perfect place to wind down after our visits to Santa Fe and other surrounding areas. The rugged scenery of this area is something you cannot experience if you were to stay in the city. One can see all the stars at night and it is very serene and peaceful. As for the property itself, it is clean, safe and well stock. We are lucky enough to have perfect weather for our stay. Do read the description regarding the drive up. We have a AWD sedan and have no issue whatsoever. I do think had it rained, the unpaved portion of the road up to the house may be a bit messy. One thing worth mentioning is the responsiveness of our host (Diana). She is very timely and helpful in her responses to all of our queries. You cannot go wrong with this property and the superhost. Last but not least, the water does smell, and the pressure is low. Again, read the property description ahead of time. It is clearly stated and given the rural and remote environment the home is located, we are not surprised (even though we are 100% city folks). We will definitely recommend others to stay at this property. This property clears deserves a perfect ten!!!

The views from this home were spectacular! The balcony off the bedroom is perfect for your morning coffee and to soak in the sun before you start your day. It is even more amazing to admire the stars. The front patio was perfect to experience sunset and had a great view of the mountains. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with supplies. The queen bed was very comfortable. The entire house was really clean. Communication was also very good. Even with the strong sulfide odor smell of the water, this home is a 5/5. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Santa Fe Hills of Canoncito

Terrific elegant little casita tucked into the wooded hillsides south of Santa Fe was our choice this annual visit but first time Stayin in this area and we loved our 3 days off the beaten path with out the door secluded country dirt/gravel road to walk our dog several times a day and take the bike for a spin. Loved the fully stocked kitchen for cooking and windows every where to open and feel the mountain breeze throughout the house upstairs and down. Then getting in the truck and goin in to town to eat or shop was an easy 20 min scenic drive. Hope to come back again in summer when all the garden is alive and colorful. Thanks for sharing this property with us!

Gorgeous property, fabulous owners

This may be the most beautiful VRBO we’ve stayed in. My husband and I stayed for five days at the holidays, and my sister drove in and used the very comfortable fold out couch for two nights. The owners were incredibly good at communicating when we had questions, the place was immaculately clean, and had every single thing we could want or need. We will stay here again- can’t wait to see the stars from the balcony deck in the summer, and hike on the nearby trails!

Beautiful Mountain Views

The property was beautiful, very nice place to stay. The views were breathtaking, the night air was cool and clean. Hummingbirds flying around the property. The property had well water so if you are not use to well water and it’s issues it may bother you. There is also a really low section in the access road that floods and gets covered in mud. You may get stuck in the house or can’t access the property till bad weather and roads cleared. Beautiful place to stay as Santa Fe 20 minutes drive.
