Spacious Retreat in the foothills, mtn views, big courtyard, bbq, Monthly Rental

MONTHLY RENTAL

Casa Colina is a scenic private residence retreat off of Upper Canyon Road, nestled in the Sangre de Cristo mountains within a gated community and only an 8 - 10 minute (2.8 mile) drive to the plaza in the historic center of Santa Fe. This home has ample natural lighting throughout and two outdoor patios nestled among the pinons and aspen trees.

This very private residence is comprised of three bedrooms and three bathrooms; comfortably sleeping a maximum of eight guests. The King master suite features a kiva fireplace, outdoor patio access and a luxurious ensuite bathroom complete with a jacuzzi tub surrounded by classic Santa Fe tiles.

Guest bedroom 1 has a double bed that may accommodate two people. Guest bedroom 2 has two double beds that may accommodate up to four guests. For clarification, double beds are 55" in width and 75" in length. For comparison, queen beds are 60" in width and 80" in length.

The spacious formal living room adjoins the kitchen which allows for easy hosting. There is access to both the front and back courtyards from the living room through sliding glass doors that add superb natural light. The centerpiece to the living room is a large kiva wood burning fireplace for the cool evenings. Lovely views abound from the living room through to the outdoor spaces.

The dining room is also adjacent to the kitchen and comfortably seats eight. Off the dining room is a comfortable seating area for television viewing with sliding glass doors leading to the courtyard. The TV is a 60" smart HDTV connected to DirecTV services.

The views from the home definitely provide one with the feeling of being surrounded by nature. You are welcome to also take advantage of the vast Dale Ball trails with the trail head a short walk from the house. They are perfect for hikers of all levels. The Randall Davey Audubon Center & Sanctuary are also nearby.

Walking to Canyon Road is a moderate two-mile excursion along Cerro Gordo Road or the even nicer Audubon Trail to Upper Canyon Road.  The Plaza, in the center of Santa Fe is only 2.8 miles by car or by foot.

The home affords easy access to all that Santa Fe has to offer; from the numerous markets on the Plaza; the Santa Fe Opera and Ski Santa Fe. Come let Casa Colina be your retreat in Santa Fe!

Charming property
This handsome house has a lot of character. It is sited on a hillside overlooking the Davey Audubon reserve… we loved the presence of birds in the morning. Comfortable, a well-stocked kitchen, and some special aesthetic highlights.

Ideal location at the end of Upper Canyon Road
First, the property management company is the best I’ve ever rented from. Both Leslie and Richard were so responsive if we ever had an issue. They made everything easy from booking to checking out. You won’t be dissatisfied with their service and sometimes that’s very hard to find these days! The property was remarkable. We lived here for three months at the start of our move to Santa Fe and looking for a permanent home to buy. The location at the end of Upper Canyon and Cerro Gordo is one on the most beautiful “rural” areas close to town. We were five minutes from everything but had the Dale Ball Trails and the Audubon Preserve literally steps from our front door. The houses in this forested neighborhood are spaced well apart and each of the neighbors we met were so friendly and welcoming. The property is beautiful with private courtyards in both the front and back of the house. We used them almost everyday to enjoy the sunsets. The living room was so warm and welcoming and we enjoyed the fireplace almost every weekend once the weather cooled down. The overall feeling of the house was such a great start to our next chapter in life here in Santa Fe. The property feels authentic and it had so many features to offer. While the kitchen is small, they had everything stocked and all the kitchen tools you could ask for to cook anything. We cooked almost everyday and were never lacking anything. I highly recommend this rental. It has all the rustic charm you are looking for!

winter get away
Casa Colina exceeded all of our expectations! The house is full of light, beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen was well stocked - dishes, glassware, pots, pans, appliances and a great supply of staples to get you started. The neighborhood is quiet and there are lovely views from the living room, patio and bedrooms. The Dale Ball Trail system can be accessed from the trailheads along the Cerro Gordo Road, making for easy hikes right out of the front door! Leslie and Richard were very accommodating - checking in and out of the house couldn't have been easier and they were both accessable for any questions or issues. The neighborhood road system is steep and the driveway even steeper. We were glad to have 4 wheel drive when it snowed! Santa Fe is such a special place and Casa Colina made it all that much more fun. We'll be back!

Great house!
This unit is in a great location, in the hills east of downtown. Two lovely outside areas, perhaps the best stocked kitchen we have ever encountered in many years on VRBO, and two large inside sitting areas. The only item to note for future guests is that the home does have interior steps when moving from one area to another. This will not be a concern except to perhaps elderly renters, or those with mobility challenges. Lovely home.

Nice VRBO
Nice older VRBO property. Excellent communication with property manager. Property is close to downtown Santa Fe, approximately 2.3 miles. Has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Very close to hiking trails, but unfortunately due to fires in the area, the hiking trails were closed. House also smelled of smoke due to fires. The house has no air conditioning so timing our your stay is crucial. We unfortunately arrived during some almost record high temperatures. The house does cool off at night but not all windows are capable of opening and screen doors have some funtional issues. The left front burner on the stove wasn't working but the others were. Due to age of the property the drains are slow to empty water and two the the three showers are ok, and one small shower is the best. There are steps in several areas of the property which are not evident in the photos and could be an issue for elderly. It rained several days while we were there and the windows and roof in one area leaked. We contacted the property manager and the promptly sent over a repairman to address the window leaking. One of the photos for the property show a fire in the master bedroom but when you get there the instructions say do not build a fire in the master bedroom. Overall nice property that needs some tlc due to its age but would not hesitate to stay there again.

Great neighborhood with plenty of hiking trails or on-street walking
Funky and unique Santa Fe home that's very cozy and the neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Close access to Dale Ball trail systems, Upper Canyon Road and exploring Cerro Gordo and adjacent roads in the neighborhood. Nice outdoor spaces and great views of the river valley.
