For over a decade, Casa de la Vaca I has been an enjoyed as a VRBO destination, offering serene and comfort surrounded by the beauty of nature. Nestled on 5 wooded acres, Nearby hiking trails, 1 BDR, 2 level Guest House adobe, Cañoncito area, Full Kitchen, Comfy Qn Bed, 3 miles off Eldorado Exit in Santa Fe, 12 miles to Santa Fe Plaza, Nearby Agora Market, historic Route 66 and great restaurants. Pet friendly with advanced approval $75 per pet fee.
Note-Water source is from a well.

Casa de la Vaca I - Guest House (one bedroom house) Left side private entrance.

PLEASE NOTE:
1. The water for our home comes from an underground well and can be unpredictable depending on precipitation levels and time of year. To remediate we have; two Triple Ozone systems, three stage (manganese, iron and hydrogen sulfide) iSpring filtration system and separate charcoal filter at the well. In addition, we have a Reverse Osmosis system in both kitchens for purified drinking water.   We monitor the well on a continual basis as it is shared with our neighbor.  The water will always have some degree of underlying scent of sulfur; although it is perfectly safe.  This comes with the territory of being remote on 5 acres in the mountains.  If you are sensitive to well water and require city water, please stay in the city.

2. All-wheel drive is always recommended especially during winter months, in case of snow. You will drive up 800 ft of unpaved road to reach our private gravel road to our home. Convenient parking is available in front of the stonework on either entrance. Complimentary Level 2 -EV charger NEMA 10-30 and Tesla adapter available in the carport for your charging convenience.

Nestled on the foothills with panoramic views sits this Canoncito/Santa Fe Charm house on 5 acres, just a mere 15 miles (25-minute drive) to Santa Fe’s historic downtown plaza. Serene and exquisite, you will encounter majestic Mountain views and with almost no light pollution you will experience the most incredible evening star gazing!

Cleanliness is of the utmost importance. To help ensure your safety and well-being, we have a cleaning service who is utilizing best practices for enhanced cleaning and disinfecting vacation rental properties.

Casa de la Vaca I is a private Casita which has recently undergone a 100% complete refresh. The home features a living room and full kitchen with new cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, original brick floor/with radiant heat for added warmth, island and custom woodwork stairs that leads to the loft bedroom with a very cozy queen size bed, full bathroom has subway tile, and private outdoor patio space and courtyard with outdoor grill and sitting area.

The sofa bed in the living room can comfortably fit 1 adult or 1-2 children. Heated original brick flooring warms the home. There is also a washer and dryer in the home for your laundry needs. A small workspace is available inside. However, during summer months if you must work take your laptop on the patio or upstairs balcony with your morning coffee and let the beauty of the landscape inspire your creativity! Great space for yoga and meditation under the portal. Break out the yoga mats and take in the breathtaking views! Namaste.

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.

Very quiet and great place to have a dog
We loved our stay. If you want to be near Santa Fe but in the quiet of the forest, this is a great place. And we loved having our dog there. It is close to hiking trails which we loved. If I could make a suggestion, I would encourage the purchase of new bath towels and to check some light bulbs that are burned out. Small complaints from an overall wonderful stay!

Not what I expected
Initially I had a great feeling about the property, but I soon realized the property's limitations. No internet or cell phone coverage for one. As I walked around inside the property I noticed my socks were covered with pet hair. I love animals, but this was excessive. One of the mornings I went in to the kitchen for breakfast, turned on the light to find silverfish running across the counter.
