Vacation Rental Description
La Casa Santa Fe is part of an adobe house once owned by Civil War Major José D Sena. Various parts of this large, multi-roomed building have served as residence and as stables. You will be staying in rooms with 12 ft ceilings, in which you can still see bits of the adobe that originally served for the roof. But never fear, there are modern touches such as electricity and indoor plumbing! (We live in a part of the house that is around a corner from the vacation units.)

Thick adobe walls, hand-hewn ceiling boards and vigas are some of the authentic historical features. Off-street parking near your door makes it easy to lug home your finds from shopping expeditions. A high-speed internet connection is available in case you have an urge to surf the web or, alas, have to attend to business.

Our "El Primero" unit is a one-bedroom apartment with a fireplace and king size bed. Two single-size thick foam mattresses can be folded out to provide floor sleeping for the kids. Our "El Nido" is a studio apartment with a queen size bed.

Both have baths with tubs, and the kitchens are outfitted with everything you need to prepare intimate meals, including recipe books featuring New Mexico home cooking recipes and a rack of basic spices. Complimentary reverse osmosis water lets you brew that perfect cup of morning coffee; we’ll give you some ground Starbucks to get you started, and there is a coffee grinder for your own beans. If you need some particular kitchen gadget give us a ring ... we can probably lend you one. Then let the dishwasher do the clean up while you relax.

Watch HDTV in the living room, or maybe you just want to enjoy reading our collection of books with a Southwest focus, or use the WiFi to search the web.

Sure, it's an easy walk to the famous Plaza. But look at what else there is, within a 10 minute walk of La Casa Santa Fe! Here’s a small sample of the neighborhood:

Let’s eat! Walk over and pick up fresh and prepared organic food at The Marketplace/La Montanita Co-op: 5 blocks (or drive a few more blocks to Trader Joe’s, Wild Oats, or Whole Foods.) The Farmers’ Market is open Tuesday and Saturday mornings in summer, and Saturday in winter -- we can show you how to take a walking route to shortcut through the neighborhood: also about 5 blocks. There are over a hundred restaurants within a half-mile, with a wide variety of foods and prices.

Or walk to a variety of museums . . . between the art galleries and the historical buildings, half the town looks like a museum. But seven actual museums within a ten minute walk are: The Santuario de Guadalupe, Site Santa Fe, the Georgia O’Keeffe, the Museo Cultural, the Palace of the Governors, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the just-completed New Mexico History Museum. Bus connections to four more museums on Museum Hill are two blocks away.

When you're in New Mexico, get outdoors! This might be our favorite topic. Nearby, Hyde Park and the Santa Fe National Forest are a cool twelve miles and 3,000 feet up. Petroglyph National Monument, Bandelier National Monument, and Pecos National Monument are all within an hour's drive. We are happy to share with you our knowledge from over 40 years of traipsing around New Mexico, from day hikes to car camping to multi-day backpacks, from X-C skiing to downhill dashes, with rafting and a little rock climbing thrown in, along with some bird watching and mushroom hunting. Just let us know what interests you.

More details and links to information about nearby restaurants, museums, activities, and so forth are on our homepage at www.lacasasantafe.com Give us a call or send e-mail if you have questions. We live around the corner from the property, and we're looking forward to meeting you!

Please note: La Casa Santa Fe offers a smoke-free environment, so we trust you will respect this policy and only smoke outdoors.

    Owners Profile
    Your hosts, enjoying the result of a winter outing. Live like a "local" in our historic Guadalupe District home.

    We have lived in this home for over 30 years, and would love to help you have a wonderful vacation in Santa Fe. We thought it would be fun to develop some rentals where we could meet people from all over, and that has been true!

    This is a neighborhood where families with generational Santa Fe roots mingle with newer folks who have come to love the traditional Southwestern hospitality. "El Primero" is located in the front part of an adobe house once owned by Civil War Major José D Sena. "El Nido" is located beside it, in the same building; we live in a part of the building that goes around the corner.

    Local legend says D Sena lost the property and the adjoining corn fields as a gambling debt. However that may be, various parts of this multi-roomed building have served as residence and as stables.

    Our guests tell us that they love the location because they can walk to so much to do, and because they feel like they are really "at home" in our property.

    We are "outdoor nuts," and find something to do outdoors no matter what the weather...
