Casa de colores is a beautiful, unique property with tranquil outdoor spaces in a quiet historic neighbhorhood. Yet, it's walking
distance to the Plaza and Canyon Road. The casa blends traditional elements but has modern comforts, including radiant in floor heat, throughout, keeping it warm in winter, and efficient cooling for the summer.

This adobe home features vigas in most rooms, latillas in an expansive kitchen, indoor and outdoor kiva fireplaces, a portal for morning coffee and evening meals. The casa has 2200 square feet all on one floor. The original date of construction is unknown but the house was extensively remodeled in 2006 with venetian plaster, in-floor radiant heat and kitchen upgrades. The walls of the house feature original art works. All on one floor, the house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and washer and dryer.

For more information about the house see (https://casa-de-colores.com/home-page/)
For stays during summer or winter, please visit this page (https://casa-de-colores.com/special-considerations/).

The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking equipment and starter coffee., and also features a large eucalyptus table, comfortable for all to gather and linger over reunion meals. The house has many private spaces so that 8 people staying will have room to settle and find a quiet corner for peace.

A portal (porch) spans the entire front of the house for cool summer evenings and morning coffee. An outdoor patio with kiva fireplace and barbecue off of the master bedroom is a guest favorite for outdoor meals. The yard is landscaped with xeric natives species, including chamisa, and aspen. There are up to 3 off-street parking spots depending on the size of the vehicles.

The house is walking distance to the spa at La Posada, or a short drive to 10,000 Waves in the foothills of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains. It is about 30 minutes from the casa door to the lift at Ski Santa Fe.

    We spent a wonderful week with our family at Casa de Colores, from Christmas through New Years. The house is beautiful and thoughtfully appointed, very comfortable and so well located for whatever one might want to do. The owner, Leigh, was beyond accommodating and responded to my every question with very thoughtful suggestions. Check-in was easy and our stay went smoothly. We would most definitely hope to stay here again when we are next in Santa Fe!

    A lovely home in the perfect location. Excellent for a larger family gathering and longer stay with a well stocked kitchen and plenty of space.

    This is an authentically, beautiful Adobe home with plenty of room for family and friends. We loved sitting on the front patio in the morning. We had everything we needed and more. Would love to stay again.

    This was a fantastic VRBO! Very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Walking distance to the Plaza as well. A bit tricky to find since the street numbers don't always make sense being an old community but we found it and would definitely go back again!

    We loved our stay at this cozy and comfortable home for our son’s wedding. It had everything we needed and the casita was perfect for our daughter, son in law, and infant grandson.

    We very much enjoyed our stay. Overall it was great. The minor thunfs below were offset by the charming house, proximity to the plaza and attractions and the cozy fireplaces. For 8 people, we ran out of TP, Dishwash soap and garbage bags. The towls had an odd not fresh smell.

    My husband and I stayed here for a week in October, with three of our adult kids and their spouses - we were in Santa Fe for another daughter's wedding and had a few family get-togethers in this most welcoming property! The home and casita were beautiful and beautifully decorated, the location is perfect - a walk or very short drive to the heart of Santa Fe. We hope to come back to such a pretty city and would love to stay in this home again!

    Perfect location! Beautiful house and the neighborhood was so unique. We loved the casita and spending time enjoying the garden on the front porch in the mornings. Perfect for a family vacation!

    Leigh's home and casita are welcoming, clean, quiet, and very conveniently located. We stayed with our two sons, their wives, and infants. The main home was spacious and comfortable enough for my husband and me, our older son, his wife, and baby, and the casita accommodated our younger son, his wife, and baby. Leigh had a crib and high chair for our use and recommended a rental agency for the other crib and high chair, which worked out smoothly. The property has a lovely garden and a large covered porch where we relaxed, ate, and played games. Everything is well maintained and the home and casita are comfortably furnished and very clean. My husband mentioned when we returned home that the pillow he used there was more comfortable than his own pillow. We walked to either Canyon Road and/or the Plaza everyday from the property. It couldn't have been more conveniently located for the things we wanted to do. So many great shops, restaurants, and parks were within walking distance. We also visited the Audubon Bird Sanctuary to hike and tour the historic home there, and that was a very short drive. Leigh was a wonderful host. The first night it was apparent that the cooling system was not functioning properly. I messaged Leigh the next morning and she was at the door 15 minutes later, and called a repair crew. The issue was resolved in a few hours and was perfect the rest of our stay. She also sent me a recommendation for a lovely walk nearby during her visit.
