Unwind with two bedrooms and full working study. Forget tension and stress in the large master bath jacuzzi. Get it all done in the fully-equipped laundry room . Cook up a feast in the well-equipped, spacious kitchen. As the sunset mountains turn red you can take to the portales with mountain views.
The space
The house is all on one floor. One step up from the sidewalk into the entryway and you are there. Plan provides much light and at the same time privacy from the street in all the living areas and master bedroom. There is a breakfast room for casual dining and a larger dining table in the main living area. The master bedroom suite is spacious containing a walk in closet and large bath with jacuzzi, separate shower and large dressing area. A large covered patio, the portales, provides a great place for dining with table and chairs, gas grill under the portales.
Guest access
Guests have full access to all spaces.
Other things to note
In-floor radiant heating provides the best kind of warmth for cold weather. The living area also has an easy to use gas fireplace to make things cozy. A gas grill under the portales for dining at the table and chairs outside.

    Yes clean place, beautiful Mountain View, it was cold weather the heating system worked well.The only downside was the office room bed was not really a bed hard as a rock. It would be best if they replace with a real bed, we did enjoy the area.

    Our stay was marvelous. It was more than we expected. The view from the patio was gorgeous. Sunrise over the mountains. A peek at the city below with lights gleaming at night was breath-taking. The patio itself was very comfortable, even during the warmer part of the day. It was also very centralized for the exploring we wanted to do of Old Town, Santa Fe, and Taos. One of my favorite stays. I would definitely come back.

    Very clean, spacious house. We initially didn't realize the third bedroom is an office with a futon (it does say this, but didn't realize from pictures), but our girls slept in the twin beds and it worked out well. Well stocked house and loved the outdoor space. The hosts were very quick to respond and left very clear directions. Very easy check out. Safe neighborhood. We went for the Balloon Fiesta and the location was perfect for this.

    The property had everything you could possibly need including a great kitchen. We even got to watch balloons flying over in the mornings while sipping coffee. The art work in the house was really a feast for the eyes.

    The house was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything. The back patio was very relaxing to enjoy in the afternoons and looking at the mountain. We never touched a thermostat because the temperature in the house was perfect. The house was located near shopping or whatever you might need. Very nice and quiet neighborhood. The host was available to answer any questions we had. The house was excellent for our party of four

    This was by far the best VBRO we’ve stayed at! Simply a beautiful home, where we immediately felt comfortable. The peace we found sitting on the back patio was amazing! Listening to the waterfall and birds brought us much calmness during a trying time for us. This wasn’t a happy vacation for us, but rather a solemn visit with family. We are so grateful to find this place and hope it’s available for future visits. The kitchen had everything we needed, the AC was great, the bathroom were well stocked with shampoos, etc! Just a lovely home! We enjoyed the art and seemed to find something new each day! Definitely recommend this home to others!

    The home was beautiful! We had such a good time on the patio, the unique lighting in the alcoves were a gift in the morning and at night. It’s the BEST vrbo we’ve ever stayed at.

    This home was in a perfect place for family base of operations. Close enough to everything from Santa Fe to Madrid to Chimayo. Tastefully appointed and equipped. The backyard with its fountain was an oasis every evening. Will book it again next year.

    We stayed here for the Balloon Fiesta and had a great time. Close to anything you could need and great views of morning launches while drinking coffee in back yard. Hosts were great and the house was everything we expected. 👍😁
