You'll experience all that Santa Fe has to offer when you stay in our beautifully appointed piece of paradise, located a lovely eight-minute drive from the bustling Santa Fe Plaza. Our newly remodeled, utterly peaceful 900 s.f. one-bedroom retreat is filled with light and integrated with nature with large windows providing views of pinion pine, clouds and blue sky at every turn. Located in an exclusive gated community of luxury homes in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, it is tastefully furnished with lots of special touches to make your stay unforgettable: Our perfectly appointed and fully-equipped deluxe European kitchen features Miele appliances and a Nespresso machine; our dining area has views our comfortable queen bed is covered in luxury linens; our slate bathroom with large walk-in shower is filled with plenty of plush towels; and there's plenty of closet space plus a convenient washer/dryer.

After a busy day of roaming the town you'll appreciate the absolute silence and serene aura that envelops our little Casita. Grab a book from our extensive library to read and enjoy the view at the same time while perched on our comfy leather daybed. If you'd like to get even closer to nature you can explore the Dale Ball hiking trails, just a five-minute walk away. Or if you love to relax -- look no further. We're located just below the world famous Ten Thousand Waves Japanese spa --take a soak in one of their authentic outdoor tubs or book a massage in a private pavilion nestled among the pine. It's an experience not to be missed. We can also arrange for your own personal therapist right in the comfort of your private Zen retreat. If you're a skier, we're right on the road heading up to the Santa Fe Ski Basin, named one of the 12 top small ski resorts in the U.S. by Conde Nast Traveler. Ours is one of the closest homes you can get to the lifts, 12 miles door to door. We're also six short miles to the Santa Fe Opera.

Once you're in for the evening, crank up the barbie and enjoy a quiet dinner on our private outdoor deck. Enjoy our new firepit, comfy outdoor sofa and soft faux fur throws. If you can pull yourself away from the awe-inspiring carpet of stars that fills the night sky, you'll appreciate our 52 flat screen TV and Sonos sound system to create your ambiance of choice.

Our family-friendly great room room sofa can double as twin daybeds at night, and we're happy to welcome a couple with two children or teens. Please note that the rate quoted is a base rate for two guests; there is an additional $25 per stay, per person charge for a third or fourth guest.

We do require the purchase of a one-time $59 fee to cover property damage (to protect us and you) from unexpected problems. This is purchased as part of the VRBO check out process.

Don't miss your chance to stay at this wonderful spot -- so close to the bustle of the Plaza, but a thousand miles of serenity away.

    The Zen Retreat is a lovely, spacious casita nestled in a lovely,quiet, wooded area. It’s near fabulous hiking trails up the mountains and still able to be at the Plaza within about 10 minutes. Fully equipped kitchen, nice patio for warmer months, very clean. We spent 6 nights here and will definitely recommend to friends traveling to Santa Fe.

    The property was lovely and exactly as shown in the pictures. It felt private in its location and the interior spaces light and bright. The kitchen contained everything possible. We would not hesitate to stay again.

    Our second stay at this beautiful modern Santa Fe guest home, and it won't be our last. We love the peaceful private setting on the hill above Santa Fe. The guest house is lovely and comfortable, filled with light and containing everything we need for a perfect getaway. We love the neighborhood and proximity to some of our favorite hiking trails. Close enough to town to have access to all Santa Fe has to offer in under 5 minutes, and yet the setting feels so peaceful and remote. The guest house is set perfectly next to the owner's home in such a way to provide privacy and take advantage of the forest views. The owners are lovely and thoughtful to guests needs. Highly recommend.

    Loved the location which is secluded and quiet but close to town and hiking trails.The casita which is well stocked with upscale kitchen appliances and bathroom essentials is very private. We never saw or heard the property owners other than at check in.Will definitely return.

    Beautiful secluded setting among the Pinon and Juniper along arroyo piedra, trail access across street to the Dale Ball trail system. Coyote music in the evenings. Great location, short drive to town or Ten Thousand Waves spa and road to Ski Santa Fe. Every cooking utensil available, great appliance, comfortable furniture and bed.

    This Casita is probably the most stylish and well-thought-out home rental I've ever had. The property had everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchen. Michelle was the consummate host and made everything welcoming and relaxing for us. We would happily stay there again!

    This property is an excellent choice when visiting Santa Fe. The pictures tell the story. Large one bedroom casita - about 1000 feet. High end furnishings throughout. Fully stocked kitchen with induction stove, oven/boiler and microwave. Lots of natural light, with views of the surrounding property. Separate from the main house, it feels very private. Ten minutes to the Plaze, excellent hiking courses three minutes away. Amazing stars at night. And very quiet. Owner is very communicative. Highly recommended.

    We loved staying here! A beautiful spot for morning coffee before heading out for the day’s activities and relaxing retreat after returning home. Super clean and comfortable. I wish I could have stayed longer. Michelle is so welcoming and she did a great job with the property!

    An amazing area close to town for our day trips throughout the week. The casita is comfortable and well equipped for cooking, everything we needed. In the evenings we enjoyed watching the bunnies from the patio! Lovely place you have and thank you for sharing with us.
