About this bed and breakfast
You'll experience all that Santa Fe has to offer when you stay in our beautifully appointed piece of paradise, located a lovely eight-minute drive from the bustling Santa Fe Plaza. Our newly remodeled, utterly peaceful 900 s.f. one-bedroom retreat is filled with light and integrated with nature with large windows providing views of pinion pine, clouds and blue sky at every turn. Located in an exclusive gated community of luxury homes in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, it is tastefully furnished with lots of special touches to make your stay unforgettable: Our perfectly appointed and fully-equipped deluxe European kitchen features Miele appliances and a Nespresso machine; our dining area has views our comfortable queen bed is covered in luxury linens; our slate bathroom with large walk-in shower is filled with plenty of plush towels; and there's plenty of closet space plus a convenient washer/dryer. After a busy day of roaming the town you'll appreciate the absolute silence and serene aura that envelops our little Casita. Grab a book from our extensive library to read and enjoy the view at the same time while perched on our comfy leather daybed. If you'd like to get even closer to nature you can explore the Dale Ball hiking trails, just a five-minute walk away. Or if you love to relax -- look no further. We're located just below the world famous Ten Thousand Waves Japanese spa --take a soak in one of their authentic outdoor tubs or book a massage in a private pavilion nestled among the pine. It's an experience not to be missed. We can also arrange for your own personal therapist right in the comfort of your private Zen retreat. If you're a skier, we're right on the road heading up to the Santa Fe Ski Basin, named one of the 12 top small ski resorts in the U.S. by Conde Nast Traveler. Ours is one of the closest homes you can get to the lifts, 12 miles door to door. We're also six short miles to the Santa Fe Opera. Once you're in for the evening, crank up the barbie and enjoy a quiet dinner on our private outdoor deck. If you can pull yourself away from the awe-inspiring carpet of stars that fills the night sky. you'll appreciate our 52" flat screen TV and Sonos sound system to create your ambiance of choice. Our family-friendly great room room sofa can double as twin daybeds at night, and we're happy to welcome a couple with two children or teens. Please note that the rate quoted is a base rate for two guests; there is an additional $25 per stay, per person charge for a third or fourth guest. We do require the purchase of a one-time $59 fee to cover property damage (to protect us and you) from unexpected problems. This is purchased as part of the VRBO check out process. Don't miss your chance to stay at this wonderful spot -- so close to the bustle of the Plaza, but a thousand miles of serenity away. PERMIT #17-0043552 While we do not currently have a hot-tub on site; there are fabulous tubs nearby (three minute drive ) to the world-renowned Ten Thousand Waves Japanese spa.

Our return back was as great as the first visit. Thanks again for a fantastic destination in the woods!!

The house was clean and comfortable, the property was secluded but a short drive from everything, and the host, Michelle, was on-site, lovely, and responsive. We've come to Santa Fe almost yearly since 1982, and Michelle's house beats a hotel any day. If you seek peace and quiet, this house is perfect for two.

I've been staying in vacation rentals for about 20 years and this property exceeds any other. Scrupulously clean, beautifully maintained and anything you need for your stay is there. And, Michelle, the property owner, was gracious and generous. I'd forgotten my phone charger and she loaned me one. Little details such as that made for a lovely stay. My only regret is that my vacation wasn't longer!

The casita exceeded our expectations. Michelle’s attention to every single detail, which fused a unique and refined design sensibility with comfort created the perfect home away from home. The property is beautiful, quiet, and secluded while being only 10 minutes away from the center of Santa Fe. Amazing natural sites are only an hour or two drive away. We had a wonderful week here and hope to return. Michelle was responsive, helpful, and classy in the best sense of that word. Highly recommend.

Stayed 5 nights while on a hiking trip around northeastern New Mexico - on our way to southern Colorado. Wonderful home base for some great, diverse hiking. Throughly enjoyed the clean, beautiful, quiet, peaceful casita - it had everything we needed - perfectly lovely. Thank you…

Casita! I loved the location, knowing it was a 5 min drive from downtown. The space was great- although it’s definitely one bedroom which I felt was a little unclear. Had a bit of a musty smell and I wish there were window coverings in the bedroom, but overall great stay

Michelle was a great communicator. This is a lovely casita, in the country but a short drive into town (and Ten Thousand Waves). Stylishly decorated with everything we needed for a week. There are trails straight from the door. We will be back.

The casita is a gem. It is calming and beautiful with a wonderful mattress, fast internet and a top notch little kitchen. This is our second stay. We loved the beauty of the surrounding land and morning walks on a nearby trail. A very special place!

Perfect!
This property sits in fabulous surroundings with lovely views. Michelle has decorated beautifully, has added many high end extra’s inside to make your stay wonderfully comfortable. She makes enjoying her cozy 'casita" easy. (linens, towels, blankets, coffee, toiletries/soaps and scents, great wine glasses, the list goes on) I cant say enough positive things about this property.

Slice of Santa Fe Heaven
This is a beautiful property with such a serene setting. The casita is beautifully appointed and exceptionally comfortable for a couple. The setting is truly quite private even though it sits next to the main house.
The owners have provided many thoughtful touches, including robes, slippers, yoga mat and fully stocked coffee bar, your choice of Nespresso or traditional coffee.
We enjoyed the peaceful, natural setting, watching birds, squirrels and chipmunks. Just a couple of miles out of the Plaza up the mountain road above. Very close to excellent hiking trails as well as Santa Fe Ski.
We enjoyed cooking our meals in the efficient high end kitchen, eating on the patio when sunny and eating indoors in front of an amazing large picture window during the rain. The kitchen had everything we needed, including spices, oil, foil.
Lovely stay...just perfect for my annual Santa Fe birthday. We hope to come again for a longer stay in the future.

A lovely property with beautiful decor and great attention to detail. The casita was very private and very quiet. The bed was about the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in and showering in the skylit bathroom was a wonderful way to start the day. The casita was filled with fantastic artwork — I’d love to know the artists’ names. I highly recommend this property and we hope to stay again.

Michelle has made this casita into a state-of-the art design marvel. Top-notch appliances, finishes, linens, towels, bath items. Landscaping around the casita is beautiful, peaceful, and you can see every star at night. Conveniently located a few miles up the hills from town. We will be back!

Truly a Retreat!
This place was beautiful and it was clear that someone had lived in the place as everything was very functional and comfortable including the giant soft couch in the living room, the long bench in the master bedroom for suitcases, spa robes in the closet, well-stocked kitchen, recycling receptacle, private outdoor sitting area, etc.
Communication with the hosts was excellent and Michelle, her husband Alan, and the property manager Peter were all wonderful. The microwave mysteriously wasn't working and Alan was there that evening with a new one!
We loved this place and probably will be back because of it!

Home away from home
This was our second stay at Casita de la Paz. Upon arriving,, it truly felt as if we were home. The casita has a beautiful modern and chic decor. It is in a very quiet and peaceful location surrounded by nature. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

A peaceful gem!
We felt so comfortable in these well-designed surroundings with peaceful views of the woodlands throughout. The furnishings and artwork are high-quality and aesthetically-pleasing and contacts with the owner and property manager were warm and generous. We could not have been happier with our choice for this 10-night stay and plan to return in the spring. As a bonus, great hiking trails system is nearby and the restaurant at 10,000 Waves --- about 10 minutes away --- was our favorite among many good options in Santa Fe.

Lovely hideaway in the hills
This is an extraordinarily serene and peaceful spot, very quiet, surrounded by pinyons, junipers, chamisa, and all the other charms of the Santa Fe hills. It's easy to get to, a quick drive up from the Plaza, and even closer to Ten Thousand Waves, one of our favorite spots anywhere. The casita is beautifully furnished and decorated. We enjoyed sharing the morning sun with a resident small lizard outside, unwinding on the private and secluded rear deck, and watching the sun set through the huge windows in the dining area. Thanks, Michelle, for sharing this very sweet retreat with us!

Spectacular casita 10 minute drive from Santa Fe
We had a wonderful stay at this casita -- just minutes out out of town, yet in the pristine foothills (hiking trails a short walk away). Our 11-year-old daughter slept on the living room sectional and loved watching the moon cross the large windows. Our bed could have been more comfortable (too soft and lacking support for both me and my husband), but otherwise we had a perfect stay. The location and the quietude cannot be beat.

This property is incredible. Beautiful inside and out and so clean (as someone who is compulsive about cleanliness, this is very important to me). It feels very safe, and it's close enough to anything you could want but far enough away from everything to see all the stars at night and hear the coyotes. It was a great launching point to the Plaza, Dale Ball hiking trails, Ten Thousand Waves and more. Michelle is an absolutely wonderful host. I was sad to leave when my week was up. I would return in a heartbeat.

We loved the casita, it had everything we needed.
Michelle was very accommodating when we had to postpone our original dates. It snowed while we were there and they made tracks on the driveway so we could get out! Very thoughtful, thanks so much.

Great house, great location and very friendly owner :)
This is my second time visiting this house, and I am in love with this house even more than my first visit due to various reasons. First of all, the house is really pretty. It is really modern designed house & interior with high-end appliances, and has everything that we needed. Secondly, the location for me is the right location, only 15 min to the Ski Santa Fe and 5 min to downtown Santa Fe for grocery shopping as well as the most famous restaurants , and most importantly probably 2 min ride to Thousand Wave where we enjoyed Japanese Spa as well as great Japanese foods. Thirdly, and one of the most important thing that I care the most is the hospitality of the owner. Michelle proactively reached out to us if we needed anything and actually waited us to say hello to us. She was very responsive and kind enough to accept some of my difficult requests, she is really awesome. Can't wait till my next visit!!

Perfect location if you want to be close both to downtown and hiking trails. The photos are a spot-on depiction of the casita. Beautifully decorated with great kitchen gear if you want to cook in.
