Peaceful Hilltop Casita w/ Stunning Views, Close to the Historic Plaza

Our casita, Cielito Lindo, is located in exclusive North Hills, situated at an altitude of 7,200 ft. on a serene and beautiful hilltop, three minutes from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, galleries, restaurants, shopping and night life. Experience sunrises and sunsets as you've never seen before. Night is especially magical in North Hills. In the summer, sit outside on your private portal listening to the wind sighing in the piñons. Gaze at stars so bright you can almost touch them. Hear the howl of coyotes in far-off hills and, in between, a serene and profound silence unique to the high desert country of northern New Mexico. In the winter, build a roaring fire in the kiva and snuggle in with a book, music or television or just listen in silence to the crackling fire. Cielito Lindo is a place to reconnect - with yourself and with the world around you.

Situated on a hilltop off a quiet street with private parking, Cielito Lindo offers a cosy, romantic getaway that features a large living room complete with a Kiva fireplace, 50" TV, and stereo system. Enjoy home cooked meals from the spacious fully equipped kitchen or take a short walk down to the plaza for shopping and restaurants. The bedroom offers a queen bed, along with plenty of closet space. The den can also be used as a second bedroom complete with a sleeper sofa or as an office while working away from home.

This casita is ideal for a writer, painter, arts lover, couple or family in search of serenity and all the natural beauty that Santa Fe has to offer.

Peaceful is the perfect description for this charming casita! The hosts are close by but not at all intrusive. Everything you need is provided. The linens are nice quality and the housekeeping is top notch. The location is ideal. Five minutes from the plaza, but up and away from the crowd. The sunsets are amazing and there is a general feeling of serenity and safety. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay! Chris and Marie were very welcoming, accommodating, and communication with them was great. This casita is located in a quiet hill top community - close to DT Santa Fe, with an amazing sunset view. Casita was very clean and as advertised. We cooked a lot, and the kitchen was well equipped. We didn't use the fireplace, as it was hot while we were there. Having the back covered patio was wonderful. We got to enjoy the sunset and hummingbirds! Our coffee maker quit working and hosts responded immediately by replacing it with another one. We will definitely be staying here again. I highly recommend!

The casita was so comfortable. The hosts were great and so responsive and communicative. They also had some great tips on what to do and where to eat for guests new to the area. It was a perfect location: close to all the services, and downtown, but far enough out to have a country feel. The sunset views were great. We would definitely stay there again.

This is our second time staying at this little casita. I can’t say enough about how great it was to have a place like this to stay in Santa Fe. It’s a five minute drive to the plaza so location is great. It was November when we were there so we fired up the kiva fireplace after coming back to the casita after a long day of adventures. It was clean, cozy, and had everything that we needed.

This is our favorite VRBO. The hosts are exceptional. They allow you your privacy but are always there if anything needs doing and they have amazing suggestions for things to do while in northern New Mexico. We've stayed on multiple occasions and have noticed that they keep the property in top notch condition and often add little touches to make our stay completely satisfying.
