Hosts! House! Location!

Scroll no further in the Sante Fe listings. This is the place you’re looking for if you want:…convivial hosts who clearly love meeting new people and sharing insights into the delights of Sante Fe…a beautifully restored casita in an historic house with all mod cons and off street parking…a peaceful neighborhood within walking distance of the Plaza, Canyon Rd and the Railyard.We had a wonderful 4 day stay with Brett and Kirsten. Our only regret ? That we couldn’t stay longer. Sante Fe has so much to offer and this is the perfect base.

Cozy Casita

Walking score gets a 10! The plaza, historic landmarks, art galleries, and boutiques just blocks away. This cozy casita is tastefully decorated with Southwestern touches - a truly charming guest house. The hosts are more than happy to give suggestions for restaurants and galleries- super friendly and courteous. We hope to return!
