Casa de la Vaca II – Traditional adobe Santa Fe House on 5 Acres

For over a decade, this two-bedroom, two-bath adobe has been a beloved VRBO destination. Now under new ownership, Casa de la Vaca II continues to offer guests the perfect blend of Santa Fe charm, comfort, and natural beauty. Set on 5 private acres in the secluded Cañoncito Valley, the home is just 12 miles from Santa Fe Plaza, close to the Agora Market, great restaurants, and miles of hiking and biking trails. Pet-friendly with prior approval ($100 per pet).

The Space
Casa de la Vaca II is a traditional two-story adobe featuring exposed vigas, latillas, and a mix of brick, tile, and wood floors. The home has been refreshed throughout and is ideal for two couples or a family.
• Kitchen: New granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, Keurig, blender, toaster, cookware, and spices.
• Living Areas: Cozy living room with smart TV (bring your streaming logins), sleeping nook for 1 adult, and a sofa that can fit 1 child. Bright sunroom with large windows for capturing stunning sunsets.
• Bedrooms:
• Master bedroom – Queen bed, wood-burning fireplace, and en-suite bathroom.

Special Notes:
1. Water – Our water comes from a shared underground well and is filtered through triple ozone, multi-stage filtration, and a Primo water filtration system for drinking. While perfectly safe, it may have a mild sulfur scent common in mountain wells. If you prefer city water, you may want to stay in town.
2. Access & Parking – All-wheel drive is recommended in winter. You’ll drive 800 feet of unpaved road before reaching our gravel driveway. Parking is available at the stonework by the right entrance. A complimentary Level 2 EV charger (NEMA 10-30 with Tesla adapter) is available in the carport. 3. Main House - there is another rental home adjacent to this property on the left which is the guest house. There is a courtyard separating the two homes. We ask our guests to be respectful of other guests andd neighbors and keep noise to a minimum. Each home has their own private entrances and outdoor spaces.

Location & Activities
Casa II borders a 4,000-acre nature preserve with well-marked hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails. Hiking sticks are provided for your use. The area is home to hummingbirds, wildflowers, and mountain views, with almost no light pollution for spectacular night skies. Santa Fe’s art galleries, shopping, and renowned cuisine are only a 20-minute drive away.

    Great location for our family Thanksgiving getaway! Diana is a gracious host and our experience was very pleasant from start to finish. House was clean and nicely maintained. Bleu, our daughter’s golden retriever was welcomed as well.

    We would not recommend this home but on the plus side there were tons of flowers & birds to enjoy. We did not realize we had to share the home with other guests; had we known there would be very little privacy we would have not stayed. There were people coming and going from the other unit but the last guest had 2 large dogs who ran everywhere and scared our small dogs which made it hard to even take them to the bathroom. The house was generally clean but when we arrived I wanted a shower; there were several large clumps of long black hair on the floor master shower. There was a hover fly infestation just outside the front door on the Spanish broom plant which made it impossible to enjoy the outdoors as there were millions upon millions of hover flies circling nonstop. All of the doors around the house are either non existent or do not fit in their frames and the door handles are all extremely loose. One bedroom has a curtain instead of a door. We were unable to access the house from the sunroom several times because the door handle was so loose it wouldn’t open the door and it just came off in my hand. My husband had to take apart the handle and reassemble just so we could access the home. There was no dishwasher detergent provided even though they asked us to run the dishwasher on check; we had to purchase this. The listing said AC wasn’t necessary but we found it miserably hot in the house so we used the wall units almost nonstop.

    This adobe home was an incredible find! When you walk to front door thru the beautiful entry arch, you can already feel yourself relaxing! The sunporch was a lovely place for morning coffee. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed for meal preps and nicely updated. Bedrooms were comfortable and were perfect for 2 couple stay. We would highly recommend this lovely home. The owner was very responsive with any communication needed.

    This was our first time visiting Santa Fe and it was nice to have property a little outside of Santa Fe. We were able to enjoy a few restaurants close to the property as well as the quiet and serene outdoors.

    We spent 4 nights at this property and had planned on doing some sightseeing but after venturing out to the Santa Fe Plaza and seeing the crowds we decided to just stay at the house and relax. Mornings were spent watching the hummingbirds and nights were spent stargazing - the Milky Way is easily visible naked eye from this location. As others mentioned the water smells a bit but we just bought bottled water at a grocery store and were fine. The grocery store, Upper Crust pizza and Cafe Fine are just down the road - 10 min tops and it was easy enough to order food for take away and enjoy it back at the house. We had two dogs with us and appreciate the dog friendly rental. The owner was very responsive to emails and questions. Would definitely stay there again.

    Awesome property and 5 adults very much enjoyed our stay. Yes it’s remote, but that’s what makes it so great. Beautiful sunsets and stars we haven’t seen in many years. The house is beautiful, cozy, and clean. The view is wonderful (could be spectacular eliminating just two trees blocking what would be a much wider amazing view). The smaller bedroom needs additional a/c flow on hot summer afternoons, and the master shower needs a simple shelf for soap, shampoo, razor, etc. Sure, there are always a few suggestions we have for our vacation rentals, but this place has very few. We just left and already planning to get back. Highly recommended!

    Came here with our three kids (9, 7 and 4), and had a great stay. Beds were comfortable, the house was so quiet, and we took full advantage of the various outdoor seating options. Kitchen was well stocked, and we made several yummy meals. The stargazing at night was truly wonderful, and we were even able to catch a meteor shower on our last night. We purposefully chose a home outside of town, and the drive to and from Santa Fe and other attractions was reasonable.

    We had a great time staying at this property. It is private and a little off the beaten path but also convenient to the city and amenities.
