About this property

Private 5 star casita minutes from downtown

This sweet casita is nestled on the Big Tesuque Creek among mature cottonwood trees. Escape to this tranquil home after a day in Santa Fe, just 6 miles away or hike right from the door, up the Windsor Trail and into the Santa Fe National Forest. It is called Casita Margarita after my Aunt Margaret who influenced my love of textiles like the ones that decorate the casita! (You can also enjoy a fresh squeezed margarita here too!)

You will find everything you need in this cozy and private home. Tastefully and simply decorated with folk art from around the world, the casita will become your peaceful retreat. The studio style bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed with a new mattress and organic linens. The open living/dining/kitchen has a comfortable queen size pullout sofa set in front of the kiva fireplace. We provide high quality natural bed linens and use natural cleaning products to ensure your stay is healthy and fresh. The charming full bath is located just off the master bedroom. The kitchen is stocked for your use including essential spices and oils and coffee, teas and bubbly water. There is a private sitting area with a table and chairs in the enclosed courtyard for you to enjoy.

Air conditioning will keep you cool for those hot summer nights.

** Please note that this is a studio style home - a wide archway with a linen curtain separates the living spaces from the sleeping/bath. Pullout sofa is in the living area.

Tesuque is a unique village located just north of Santa Fe on Bishops Lodge Road. With traditional culture along the acequia and creek, two restaurants and several galleries nearby, you will have ample sights to explore. The Santa Fe Opera is located just west of Tesuque - a 5 minute drive from the casita. Between the Santa Fe plaza and the casita is the road to the world famous Ten Thousand Waves Japanese spa, to the stunning Santa Fe National Forest and to the Santa Fe Ski Basin. You can also access the National Forest by hiking straight from the casita and up along the Tesuque Creek....you can go a few miles or into the Pecos Wilderness for days.

We would be delighted to have you come and enjoy yourselves in our home when we are traveling!
Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and a fireplace. Housekeeping is available on request.

Adorable and comfortable Casita

Property presents just as listed. Quiet village outside of Sante Fe, but quick and easy access to anything you’d want to do in and around Sante Fe. Good communication throughout….from booking to stay and beyond. I left a jacket that was promptly shipped to me. Would definitely stay again?

Super tranquil casita right off of the Winsor trail head

we had a wonderful stay here! The casita was quiet, clean and very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. It was in the perfect location to skip into town or jump on the winsor for a hike. Just down the road from our favorite outpost market/eatery, Tesuque Market. Loved it!

Peaceful retreat

My husband and I stayed here for 9 nights and I must say it was an absolute joy! Gorgeously decorated casita with a beautiful, private outdoor space. Communication with Melissa was a breeze. We really enjoyed the access to hiking almost right outside the door. And we REALLY appreciate that dogs AND cats are welcome. We would stay here again without hesitation. It’s a super peaceful neighborhood ☺️

Cozy Cottage

A sweet little adobe - when we arrived it was snowing so it did take us awhile to get the place warmed up. Very cozy with everything we needed to feel at home. The negative was the fact that it wasnt as secluded as we had expected. Busy neighborhood.

The Sweetest Casita

We had the most wonderful time! The Casita Margarita is clean, charming and quiet. Comfy bed, comfy couch/bed. Plenty of room to hang out with our doggers. All the necessary amenities. Excellent heaters. Coffee maker and nicely equipped kitchen. Lovely yard with a coyote fence that kept our dogs safe from wandering so we could have coffee on the patio and let them sniff about. What an amazing night sky! Wonderful trees and hills very close. We aren't hikers but there are trails close by. Easily access Santa Fe downtown, too. Melissa was so helpful and easy to communicate with. Check-in was a breeze as was check-out. Five stars all around for this lovely, lovely place. We will be back for sure! The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. Very safe.

Charming Casita well located in Sante Fe

We could not have been more pleased with this property. It was well located to the Santa Fe Opera as well as the historic downtown. Actually it was well located to everything Santa Fe and the major highways leading north to Los Alamos and the Bandelier National Historical site. The casita itself is charming, has a well stocked kitchen, and is CLEAN. Our host was most informative as to what was happening in Santa Fe, directed us to two groceries, and made herself available throughout our stay. We had a wonderful time. We are recommending this casita to others.

We had an excellent stay at the casita. A few ants in the bathroom? but easily dealt with. I especially appreciated how easy it was to get in touch with Melissa. We never figured out how to get the one AC to work, but that was probably our ignorance and we were fine without it anyway. We'd stay there again should we have the chance.
