Casa de la Vaca II – Traditional adobe Santa Fe House on 5 Acres

For over a decade, this two-bedroom, two-bath adobe has been a beloved VRBO destination. Now under new ownership, Casa de la Vaca II continues to offer guests the perfect blend of Santa Fe charm, comfort, and natural beauty. Set on 5 private acres in the secluded Cañoncito Valley, the home is just 12 miles from Santa Fe Plaza, close to the Agora Market, great restaurants, and miles of hiking and biking trails. Pet-friendly with prior approval ($100 per pet).

The Space
Casa de la Vaca II is a traditional two-story adobe featuring exposed vigas, latillas, and a mix of brick, tile, and wood floors. The home has been refreshed throughout and is ideal for two couples or a family.
• Kitchen: New granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, microwave, dishwasher, drip coffee maker, Keurig, blender, toaster, cookware, and spices.
• Living Areas: Cozy living room with smart TV (bring your streaming logins), sleeping nook for 1 adult, and a sofa that can fit 1 child. Bright sunroom with large windows for capturing stunning sunsets.

• Master bedroom – Queen bed, wood-burning fireplace, and en-suite bathroom.

Special Notes:
1. Water – Our water comes from a shared underground well and is filtered through triple ozone, multi-stage filtration, and a Primo water filtration dispenser for drinking. While perfectly safe, it may have a mild sulfur scent common in mountain wells. If you prefer city water, you may want to stay in town.
2. Access & Parking – All-wheel drive is recommended in winter. You’ll drive 800 feet of unpaved road before reaching our gravel driveway. Parking is available at the stonework by the right entrance. A complimentary Level 2 EV charger (NEMA 10-30 with Tesla adapter) is available in the carport. 3. Main House - there is another rental home adjacent to this property on the left which is the guest 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 II borders a 4,000-acre nature preserve with well-marked hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails. Hiking sticks are provided for your use. The area is home to hummingbirds, wildflowers, and mountain views, with almost no light pollution for spectacular night skies. Santa Fe’s art galleries, shopping, and renowned cuisine are only a 20-minute drive away.

Cleanliness & Comfort
We follow enhanced cleaning protocols, with extra attention after pet stays, so all guests feel comfortable and safe.

Pet Policy

The kitchen was stocked with what we needed for meal preps and nicely updated. Bedrooms were comfortable and were perfect for 2 couple stay. We would highly recommend this lovely home.

Family trip to Santa Fe

The host was very responsive and checked in to make sure we settled in comfortably. We enjoyed our stayed and the place was nice when it snowed. The location was more remote and further from the center of Santa Fe than we anticipated. We have stayed in Santa Fe several times and this is the most remote we ever stayed. Other than the location, everything else we good.

Peaceful Getaway

This home was a lovely, peaceful getaway about 15-20 minutes outside of Santa Fe. It was well-equipped, allowing us to settle in easily. The surrounding area is gorgeous, and the stargazing at night is incredible. The only caveat we would offer is that due to use of well water, the water pressure can be a bit weak and does smell of sulfur.

Stargazing gem

Came here with our three kids (9, 7 and 4), and had a great stay. Beds were comfortable, the house was so quiet, and we took full advantage of the various outdoor seating options. Kitchen was well stocked, and we made several yummy meals. The stargazing at night was truly wonderful, and we were even able to catch a meteor shower on our last night. We purposefully chose a home outside of town, and the drive to and from Santa Fe and other attractions was reasonable.

Enjoyable stay and good value.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much. The property was very private even though we had someone renting the studio apt next to us, we never heard them. We loved the sunroom and convenient kitchen. There are a few updates and repairs that need attention but we were told they will be taken care of. Overall our experience was very nice. Love this little casita! Very cozy! Great value!

Perfect seclusion

A girlfriend and I planned a weekend get away in Santa Fe. This time was ideal for us. It is quaint and quiet. The natural scenery is beautiful! One night we went to ship in Santa Fe, then came back and cooked dinner. The Kitchen had everything we needed. One night we stopped mimosas by the outdoor fire and watched the moon rise over three mountains. We could not ask food anything better. It was clean, cozy, well-defined, and beautiful decor. If I'm ever in Santa Fe again, I would definite stay there.

Beautiful property

Loved this quaint little place. It was such a nice getaway. My Only complaint is that the second bedroom didn’t have a door. Just a sheer curtain as a door. This little nugget of information was not posted anywhere. We should have been informed of this prior to. We enjoyed our stay though. It was nice to have both great indoor and outdoor space.

So great! Our dream home.

Awesome property and 5 adults very much enjoyed our stay. Yes it’s remote, but that’s what makes it so great. Beautiful sunsets and stars we haven’t seen in many years. The house is beautiful, cozy, and clean. The view is wonderful (could be spectacular eliminating just two trees blocking what would be a much wider amazing view). The smaller bedroom needs additional a/c flow on hot summer afternoons, and the master shower needs a simple shelf for soap, shampoo, razor, etc. Sure, there are always a few suggestions we have for our vacation rentals, but this place has very few. We just left and already planning to get back. Highly recommended!

Relaxing stay outside of Santa Fe

We spent 4 nights at this property and had planned on doing some sightseeing but after venturing out to the Santa Fe Plaza and seeing the crowds we decided to just stay at the house and relax. Mornings were spent watching the hummingbirds and nights were spent stargazing - the Milky Way is easily visible naked eye from this location. As others mentioned the water smells a bit but we just bought bottled water at a grocery store and were fine. The grocery store, Upper Crust pizza and Cafe Fine are just down the road - 10 min tops and it was easy enough to order food for take away and enjoy it back at the house. We had two dogs with us and appreciate the dog friendly rental. The owner was very responsive to emails and questions. Would definitely stay there again.

Forest views

Great forest and mountain views in a fairly private rental a reasonable drive from Santa Fe. Nice kitchen and bathrooms. Kitchen well stocked, but not cluttered. Nice amount of windows for natural light and forest views. Unique interior wood, stone, and tile construction in typical regional Adobe construction. Lots of outdoor patio and deck space in a private setting. Unit is part of a duplex. We hardly noticed the neighboring unit. Each has their own parking and entrance with good separation between the two. Road is not very walkable, however there are several hiking areas nearby, accessible by driving.

Serenity!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the property was lovely! Couldn't have wished for a more quiet, serene location to send our time exploring Santa Fe in. The property was extraordinarily clean, well kept and had all the amenities needed for our stay. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and cool evenings on the patio listening to nature the area had to offer. It was a great location to all the sites we wanted to see and close to the city of Santa Fe. It was very private even with the neighbors next door. I was worried when we realized there was no A/C but the cool breezes and evenings in the mountains kept the home comfortable for sleeping although I had no idea how to work the swamp cooler but didn't really need it. The surrounding area was beautiful and had plenty of areas for hiking right out the back door. Would definitely stay again if ever i the area! You will not be disappointed.

Secluded, Rustic Comfort

We rented CasadeVaca II in Santa Fe because we wanted to visit the Albuquerque Balloon Festival and spend a little time in Santa Fe. It's a 1-hour drive to the festival and 10-15 minutes into Santa Fe. CasadeVaca II is located in the mountains/hills east of town, and feels pretty remote - exactly what we were hoping for. We were able to sit at the table on the deck and watch the sunset behind the mountains without seeing any other houses, just trees, hills, and sky. The house itself a pretty cool place. For anyone wanting a genuine Santa Fe experience, CasadeVaca II feels like a house that's been there for a century or two but with modern amenities and comforts. And there's a pizza joint and a grocery store 8-10 minutes away. You know, for the necessities : ) Finally, we had the good fortune to meet the owners as they came to town to stay in an adjoining unit a few days before we checked out. They were great hosts and seemed happy and willing to ensure that we had a comfortable stay. I highly recommend CasadeVaca II for anyone coming to Santa Fe for a visit.
