Luxurious Zen Retreat, ten minutes to holiday magic; closest to Ski Santa Fe

Named the No. 1 Best City in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure and ranking among the top small cities in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards, Santa Fe shines in the winter. With stunning decorations, Mexican hot chocolate, and loads of themed holiday events there is nothing quite like it. Our cozy Casita is the closest rental to ski Santa Fe (named one of the 12 top small ski resorts in the U.S. by Conde Nast) just 12 miles door to door. When it snows, our little Zen retreat is a pristine winter wonderland.

You'll love our beautifully appointed piece of paradise, located a stunning eight-minute drive from its bustling central 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 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 ten-minute walk. 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 therapist right in the comfort of your private Zen retreat.

Once you're in for the evening, crank up the barbie and enjoy a quiet dinner on our private outdoor deck. Enjoy our new firepit and sink into our outdoor sofa with soft faux fur throws. 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 $50 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 experience this wonderful spot -- so close to the bustle of the Plaza, but a thousand miles of serenity away.
