About this cottage rental
Our casita, Cielito Lindo, is located in exclusive North Hills, situated at an altitude of 7,200 ft. on a serene and beautiful hilltop, three minutes from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, galleries, restaurants, shopping and night life. Experience sunrises and sunsets as you've never seen before. Night is especially magical in North Hills. In the summer, sit outside on your private portal listening to the wind sighing in the piñons. Gaze at stars so bright you can almost touch them. Hear the howl of coyotes in far-off hills and, in between, a serene and profound silence unique to the high desert country of northern New Mexico. In the winter, build a roaring fire in the kiva and snuggle in with a book, music or television or just listen in silence to the crackling fire. Cielito Lindo is a place to reconnect - with yourself and with the world around you. Situated on a hilltop off a quiet street with private parking, Cielito Lindo offers a cosy, romantic getaway that features a large living room complete with a Kiva fireplace, 50" TV, and stereo system. Enjoy home cooked meals from the spacious fully equipped kitchen or take a short walk down to the plaza for shopping and restaurants. The bedroom offers a queen bed, along with plenty of closet space. The den can also be used as a second bedroom complete with a sleeper sofa or as an office while working away from home.

We enjoyed a wonderful visit in the Peaceful Hilltop Casita between February,14-21, 2024. The casita is nestled in a peaceful setting just outside Santa Fe. To the west is a magnificent view of the Jemez Mountains and to the east the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The casita is surrounded by pinon trees and junipers giving the effect of being in the woods while only being a few minutes' drive from all of Santa Fe's amenities.
Our hosts, Chris and Marie, made every effort to make our stay comfortable. From the nice welcome note on the dining room table when we arrived, the tasteful placement of houseplants, the exceptional cleanliness, comfortable furniture, all supplies necessary to enjoy a cheery fire in the fireplace, down to the small legal pad with a pen in a basket on the dining room table, it was abundantly clear the efforts to makes us feel welcome.
The refrigerator was thoroughly cleaned and cleared of any condiments and perishables that previous guests had left. That is a huge plus for us. We have stayed in numerous places in New Mexico, and usually the pervious guests' condiments and perishables are left in the refrigerator which is a deal breaker for us. The attention paid to making sure the refrigerator was emptied and spotless made a huge favorable impression on us.
For a restful, renewing, experience with all the beauty that Santa Fe and the surrounding area offers look no further than the delightful Peaceful Hilltop Casita! Kudos to our hosts

We really enjoyed our stay at Chris and Marie's hilltop casita, and the hospitality they demonstrated to accommodate our New Year gathering with our adult family. One son lives in Santa Fe, so we are regular visitors. We will definitely look for availability at the hilltop casita for our next trip to the area.

I highly recommend this peaceful casita! It is incredibly private you never feel like you are being watched. The check-in is smooth and easy and the casita itself is wonderful. The outside area is great for a glass of wine with stunning New Mexico sunsets. The owners are very helpful and have great suggestions for the area. They even lent me a couple of books for the area. The neighborhood is excellent and my wife loved running on the hilly roads. It is close to the wonderful downtown plaza area and to the roadway to the ski area and a bunch of great hikes all along the road. Excellent people, great homey casita with almost everything you need for your stay, and a phenomenal location. We will be back!

The hosts were super responsive to questions and full of great advice on things to do. The casita was super clean, comfy beds and so very relaxing. Watched the sunset from the backyard, heard coyotes and the stars were amazing. So very close to the Plaza, short drive to fantastic hikes. Will definitely be a repeat guest. A++++

Wanting to visit Santa Fe for 9 days to get a real, unhurried feel for the place. We could not have asked for a better location. 5 min from town. Each night we enjoyed a fire & found everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I'd stay there again.

We loved our 5 day stay at the casita. The location was perfect for us: quiet, beautiful views, and close to town. The casita was extremely clean with everything we needed. The living space was comfortable and cozy. The kitchen was very well equipped. The hosts were very responsive and helpful yet not intrusive. We would definitely stay here again!

My wife and I loved our two-week stay here in February-March 2023. We couldn't have asked for a better location, and the views and privacy were wonderful.
The home was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The pictures on the listing represent the property perfectly.
The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of extra blankets (which came in handy as it was mostly a cold stretch of weather). The decor was tasteful and had a definite New Mexico vibe that we really appreciated. There was almost no outside noise. A very peaceful place to stay.
The location was convenient to the plaza and other fun destinations, like the Railroad Arts District and Canyon Road. The central part of town is a five-minute drive or a 25-minute walk. The views from the property itself and the area around it are dramatic, with lovely mountains in the distance. If you're active, it's a great place to stay because the streets around are lightly-trafficked and have some challenging hills. We both enjoyed regular walks and runs.
Great wifi, too, if you plan to do work here, as we did. We never had any connection issues.
The kitchen doesn't appear to have been updated in many years, but all appliances worked fine and there were plenty of dishes, pans, and other items for cooking meals. The only bathroom is in the master bedroom - not really an issue, just something to be aware of.
The owners live next door, and were attentive and friendly in our communications. We knew we were in good hands if we needed anything. We'd definitely choose this home again, and hope to stay here next time we're in town.

This one bedroom spacious casita is perched upon a hill in an upscale neighborhood with a perfect place to watch the gorgeous sunset. The unit is extremely clean, very comfortable, nicely decorated, has all the amenities you could possibly need and is larger than appears in the pictures. The location is close to downtown with much to do, great restaurants and history. Great hikes in the area too.

The casita is actually better in person than the pictures. Immaculately clean with plenty of room and stunning views of the Santa Fe sunsets. The location was great, just about a mile from the plaza area, but a world away from any noise or traffic.
Our hosts were gracious and caring. We can't wait to return.

Beautiful casita in a quiet neighborhood but convenient to downtown. Everything we needed or wanted was provided. Loved sitting on the patio in the morning with coffee listening to the bird choir. Chris and Marie are uber hosts. We would definitely stay again.

The casita was a wonderful, peaceful place to stay. Chris and Marie patiently answered all our questions promptly and lived nearby (I prefer this to absent owners). Easy driving access to central Santa Fe (in theory one could walk, but it's a rather steep gravel road without a paved sidewalk). We would definitely stay here again if it were available.

If you have a chance to stay at Cielito Lindo, grab it! Our stay was perfect in every way. Location could not have been better. Removed from the hustle and bustle of the Plaza but minutes away. Walk to town for a cup of coffee along the dirt roads of the neighborhood. It's a uphill climb back, but still delightful. The casita was a wonderful place to return at day's end - cozy, comfortable and charming!
