About this house rental
Nestled in Santa Fe, this charming house for $198 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip.

The home is spacious with 11'-12' high ceilings that welcome in the beautiful Santa Fe light, a modern full kitchen with dishwasher and gas range, a kiva wood-burning fireplace for cozy evenings and a private portal (porch) for sunny afternoons. The massive center adobe wall that divides the living space from the bedroom and bath was lovingly saved, reinforced and plastered as a sculptural homage to the home's legacy. Furnishings include a 19th Century Austrian Walnut wardrobe, luxurious solid wood four poster bed, an antique marble-topped vanity retrofitted with a vessel sink, Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams love seat and original lithographs from the 2019 Student Portfolio of UNM's prestigious Tamarind Institute.

They provided everything we needed. Coffee tea shampoo conditioner shower gel extra blankets/pillows. There are really good books to read and what to do nearby. I recommend this location as we walked everywhere - whole foods, the plaza, restaurants and coffee shops!

Do not hesitate—-rent this property! It is perfect in almost every way: cleanliness, updated convenience, furnishings, comfy bed, location. The hosts are ost gracious and even left us with some welcome snacks of beverages, cheese and crackers which were most delicious after a long day of travel. There is a charming kiva fireplace for your pleasure if you buy your own wood (piñon precut logs at the local Whole Foods) which was wonderful considering, for some bizarre reason, none of the local establishments were burning fires. This was very disappointing 2 weeks before Christmas. We were expecting the smell of piñon fires to permeate the town but there was nothing. Across the street from the casita there is a little compound that houses a coffee shop, a bakery, a barbecue place, an Ethiopian food restaurant and a bar. The rental is walking distance from the Railyard district and not too far from old town Santa Fe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to come back.
Restaurants we recommend: The Pantry for breakfast and Pascal’s for breakfast (dinner was a bit of a disappointment). Also Tomasita’s for lunch and SPICY New Mexican food. For dinner: save your pennies and make a reservation at Geronimo’s. Outstanding food and service! La Plazuela at La Fonda hotel was also wonderful and done up for Christmas. A bit pricey for what it was and cocktails really elevated the bill. Coyote Cafe was disappointing, resting on its laurels. The food was way too salty.

Scheduled this cute little cottage for my in-laws for their 25th wedding anniversary- they've always wanted to go to Santa Fe to check out the arts district. They absolutely loved this place- the history of the cottage itself was amazing to them and the proximity to the "fun stuff" in Santa Fe was the winning feature!! Coordinating the booking for my in-laws with the owner was super easy too. All around great experience for my in-laws!

Circa 1885 is a lovely accommodation! The hosts have thought of everything to make for a
comfortable and enjoyable stay. The place is beautifully decorated, very clean and well located for enjoying Santa Fe and the surrounding area. Our hosts were readily available, communicated well and were super helpful. I definitely recommend this listing and we hope to be back! Thank you, Linda and Lance for sharing Circa 1885!

This historic home is a “hidden gem” located in the heart of Santa Fe! The attention to detail renovating this property is amazing and beautifully appointed.
We were warmly welcomed by Lance, and Linda was a “joy” to work with making sure our reservation was on point. The added amenities of wine, cheese and crackers, kicked off a “wonderful” stay celebrating our Anniversary and Halloween Birthday!
Would highly recommend this inviting, centrally located property to anyone wanting to escape and enjoy beautiful Santa Fe!

Beautifully decorated home. It had a modern farmhouse feel with every detail well thought out. Walking distance to town, restaurants, Contemporary Art Museum and much more. Lance and Linda were incredible hosts. Helpful, knowledgeable and very conversant. My favorite one-bedroom VRBO!!

We loved the space and the remodel. It was great to read about the past family that lived here for 75 years.
Next time we come we will want a space in the back to reduce the road noise!

Definitely recommend as a more personal alternative to a hotel. It is clear that the owners take pride in their nicely-renovated property and in their role as innkeepers.

We enjoyed our stay. The casita was clean upon arrival. Nicely decorated. About 10 min walk to the Santa Fe Square & Canyon Ave. Only a couple of blocks to the Railyard where there’s a couple of good places to eat & live music on Friday evenings. O’Hori’s coffee shop is right across the street from the casita! Have recommended this place to friends & family.
4.0
The attention to detail in this renovated property really shines. We appreciated the welcome beverages and snacks plus coffee for the morning (although Ohoris is just across the street!) The owners were very attentive and communicative.
Just about everything matched the photos and descriptions online. One note: We are glad to have arrived while it was still light since the parking is behind the building without a direct walk thru.
It's very conveniently located for walking to Railyard district and Plaza. (It was 90+degrees outside so ended up driving more than planned. Inside, the temperature was great.) For driving, the location is a bit tricky with about 6 intersections coming together at the corner. The only really busy street during the day is Cerrillos (and can be a bit car noisy on weekends).
A few Santa Fe friends stopped by so they could recommend it to others because it was so appealing to us.

Our VRBO was in a great location and was perfect for 2 travelers as advertised.

All the luxuries of home! Comfortable bed, top of the line sheets, towels and remarkably comfortably decorated. We enjoyed the small space but didn't feel cramped. The location was so centrally located we rarely drove anywhere. Highly recommend. Linda was a wonderful host and we were greeted with wine/cheese! Thank you Linda!

The renovation on this adobe apartment is real nice. It has all the essentials you need for a comfortable vacation. The owners were very responsive to our needs & easy to communicate with.

This is a gorgeous space located within walking distance to great food, shopping, and entertainment. Linda is an amazing hostess, and we were pleasantly surprised to find cheese and crackers, beer, milk, and a bottle of wine to enjoy at our leisure. Linda is also very responsive. Any questions we had about the property or where to park (which turned out to be super easy) were addressed in a prompt and clear manner. I've already recommended this property to a friend and would stay here again.

This little hideaway was a perfect retreat for us.
The house is perfectly sized, warm and cozy. Everything was lovingly set for us when we arrived, and we felt welcome to make it home for the week. The kitchen was well equipped and had just the right tools for us to make breakfast before heading out every day. The bed was made up beautifully, and was VERY comfortable.
The location is close enough to walk to the plaza, and there are a few eateries (and a great bakery) within a few blocks in the other direction. We were able to explore Santa Fe mostly on foot, and it was easy enough (by car) to get out for hiking and exploring other parts of NM.
All and all - this was a great stay for us, and we would stay there again in a heartbeat!!!
Thank you Linda and Lance!

This is a cozy gem located centrally between Old Town Santa Fe and Canyon Road. It was clean and the hosts spared no attention to detail! They make you feel welcome and like a guest--there was wine, cheese, crackers waiting!
It was the perfect distance for walking. There are taste bud tantalizing restaurants close by, in Old Town, and on Canyon Road (and so much more).
We will be back the next time we come!

Circa 1885 is a short walk to the Railyard District and the downtown Plaza - which means easy access to galleries, museums, restaurants and shopping.
Also, loved having a real wood burning fireplace!
