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.
This casita is ideal for a writer, painter, arts lover, couple or family in search of serenity and all the natural beauty that Santa Fe has to offer.
For those interested in working offsite, the casita has high speed internet accessed through cable. The service provider is Xfinity and our plan includes their Performance Pro internet (300 Mbps download speed, gaming, multiple devices), and digital TV.
Conveniently located about 1 mile from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, shops, grocery stores, galleries and museums and a 12-minute drive from the world-famous outdoor Santa Fe Opera.
For skiers/boarders which the owners are, the base of the Ski Santa Fe Quad is 17 miles or a 30-minute drive away. You can also take a bus to the ski basin; the bus stop and free parking are two minutes from the casita.

Peaceful is the perfect description for this charming casita! The hosts are close by but not at all intrusive. Everything you need is provided. The linens are nice quality and the housekeeping is top notch. The location is ideal. Five minutes from the plaza, but up and away from the crowd. The sunsets are amazing and there is a general feeling of serenity and safety. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed another wonderful and renewing time in the Hilltop Casita. This was the latest of multiple stays over the last few years. Have posted three previous reviews so I won't repeat the superlatives from those, since all those superlatives continue to be true of our latest visit. Please take a minute to read them.The tranquil setting with easy access to Santa Fe without having to drive along busy Cerrillos Road make the casita the best spot to stay in Santa Fe. Access to Route 285 is a snap leading to points north such as Bandelier, Los Alamos, Espanola, and several wineries worth a visit.The casita is meticulously clean, including the refrigerator (a big plus for us). Perhaps the best description of Chris and Marie's casita is that it is as comfortable as those old jeans that have been washed countless times and are wonderfully broken in and soft.Chris and Marie are fabulous hosts. They ensure that your stay is a restful and renewing escape to the New Mexico high desert. The best compliment we can give Chris, Marie, and their lovely Hilltop Casita is that we are counting the days until October when we will return once again to enjoy their hospitality!
