Note-Water source is from a well.

Casa de la Vaca II -Main House (two bedroom) Right side private entrance.

PLEASE NOTE:
1. The water for our home comes from an underground well and can be unpredictable depending on precipitation levels and time of year. To remediate we have; two Triple Ozone systems, three stage (manganese, iron and hydrogen sulfide) iSpring filtration system and separate charcoal filter at the well. In addition, we have a Reverse Osmosis system in both kitchens for purified drinking water.   We monitor the well on a continual basis as it is shared with our neighbor.  The water will always have some degree of underlying scent of sulfur; although it is perfectly safe.  This comes with the territory of being remote on 5 acres in the mountains.  If you are sensitive to well water and require city water, please stay in the city.

2. All-wheel drive is always recommended especially during winter months, in case of snow. You will drive up 800 ft of unpaved road to reach our private gravel road to our home. Convenient parking is available in front of the stonework on either entrance. Complimentary Level 2 -EV charger NEMA 10-30 and Tesla adapter available in the carport for your charging convenience.

Nestled up in the foothills with panoramic views sits this Canoncito/Santa Fe Charm house on secluded 5 acres, just a mere 15 miles (20-minute drive) to Santa Fe’s historic downtown plaza. Serene and exquisite, you will encounter majestic Mountain views and with almost no light pollution you will experience the most incredible evening star gazing! You will be surrounded by gorgeous local plants, flowers, hummingbirds, and pines. This peaceful sanctuary is surrounded with birds and wildlife. Enjoy the gas grill, patio seating, break out the yoga mats and take in the breathtaking views! Namaste.

Cleanliness is of the utmost importance. To help ensure your safety and well-being, we have a cleaning service who is utilizing best practices for enhanced cleaning and disinfecting vacation rental properties. Added layer of thorough cleaning and disinfecting after pet stays.

Casa de la Vaca II has undergone a substantial refresh. This gem is perfect for two couples or a family.
The kitchen has newly replaced granite countertops and fully equipped with (blender, toaster, coffee pot, Keurig, cookware, pots and pans, spices). Microwave, Dishwasher, and stainless-steel appliances.
The master bedroom has a queen size bed, wood burning fireplace and en-suite master bathroom. Laundry (new washer and dryer) are located conveniently on the second floor. The guest room has a queen size bed, cozy mattress and the guest bathroom is also located on the second floor. All are plush beds, linens, and pillows for a relaxing night sleep.
The home features a cozy living room with a sleeping nook with mattress for one adult. The sofa can also sleep 1 child comfortably. The sunroom has new enhanced large windows for sitting and relaxing and capturing the dramatic sunset views. You can work inside or out and enjoy the gorgeous courtyard and spectacular mountain views! However, during summer months you may want to take your laptop out to the courtyard with your morning coffee and let the beauty of the landscape inspire your creativity! We also have the absolute best internet -100mbps for Canoncito. So, if you must work you can do so without a problem. The smart TV is available for use with your personal streaming platforms. Board games, cards, books are also available for family fun.

You are surrounded by a 4,000 acres nature preserve with miles upon miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. These trails are very well marked and range from easy strolls to more strenuous hikes. As you drive down Ojo da la Vaca road you will see two areas to park to access the trail heads. We have hiking sticks available during your stay, adjust them and set out and explore. The items in the house are for our guests, please feel free to enjoy.

After a full day feel free to set up the portable massage table which has disposable covers for the headrest. It is located in the guest bedroom closet. Beyond giving each other massages :-)….. a list of local massage therapists is available in the Welcome Book.

Nice Property for first visit to Santa Fe
This was our first time visiting Santa Fe and it was nice to have property a little outside of Santa Fe. We were able to enjoy a few restaurants close to the property as well as the quiet and serene outdoors.

Relaxing stay outside of Santa Fe
We spent 4 nights at this property and had planned on doing some sightseeing but after venturing out to the Santa Fe Plaza and seeing the crowds we decided to just stay at the house and relax. Mornings were spent watching the hummingbirds and nights were spent stargazing - the Milky Way is easily visible naked eye from this location. As others mentioned the water smells a bit but we just bought bottled water at a grocery store and were fine. The grocery store, Upper Crust pizza and Cafe Fine are just down the road - 10 min tops and it was easy enough to order food for take away and enjoy it back at the house. We had two dogs with us and appreciate the dog friendly rental. The owner was very responsive to emails and questions. Would definitely stay there again.

So great! Our dream home.
Awesome property and 5 adults very much enjoyed our stay. Yes it’s remote, but that’s what makes it so great. Beautiful sunsets and stars we haven’t seen in many years. The house is beautiful, cozy, and clean. The view is wonderful (could be spectacular eliminating just two trees blocking what would be a much wider amazing view). The smaller bedroom needs additional a/c flow on hot summer afternoons, and the master shower needs a simple shelf for soap, shampoo, razor, etc. Sure, there are always a few suggestions we have for our vacation rentals, but this place has very few. We just left and already planning to get back. Highly recommended!

Stargazing gem
Came here with our three kids (9, 7 and 4), and had a great stay. Beds were comfortable, the house was so quiet, and we took full advantage of the various outdoor seating options. Kitchen was well stocked, and we made several yummy meals. The stargazing at night was truly wonderful, and we were even able to catch a meteor shower on our last night. We purposefully chose a home outside of town, and the drive to and from Santa Fe and other attractions was reasonable.

Santa Fe
Our family loved our stay at Diana’s home outside of Santa Fe. We stayed for a full week exploring the area with our three teenage children over spring break. The house was easy to get to, just about 15 minutes outside of the city. The view from the porch was beautiful and we enjoyed the adobe architecture and southwest style. The sunroom was a nice space to sit and relax on a warm day. The house was clean, looked just as described, and we had great communication with the host throughout our stay. We were able to easily connect to wifi at the house. The house worked well for the five of us, and one of our children slept on the twin-size bed that’s located in the living room. As described by the host, the water is from a well and does have a bit of a sulphur smell. There is filtered water at the kitchen sink that we used for cooking. We recommend staying at Diana’s place and would return when visiting Santa Fe in the future! Some highlights of our trip included Ghost Ranch- we recommend horseback riding and the Oppenheimer movie set tour, skiing at Ski Santa Fe, visiting Meow Wolf, Bandelier, and Pecos National Historical Park.

Family trip to Santa Fe
The host was very responsive and checked in to make sure we settled in comfortably. We enjoyed our stayed and the place was nice when it snowed. The location was more remote and further from the center of Santa Fe than we anticipated. We have stayed in Santa Fe several times and this is the most remote we ever stayed. Other than the location, everything else we good.

Secluded, Rustic Comfort
We rented CasadeVaca II in Santa Fe because we wanted to visit the Albuquerque Balloon Festival and spend a little time in Santa Fe. It's a 1-hour drive to the festival and 10-15 minutes into Santa Fe. CasadeVaca II is located in the mountains/hills east of town, and feels pretty remote - exactly what we were hoping for. We were able to sit at the table on the deck and watch the sunset behind the mountains without seeing any other houses, just trees, hills, and sky. The house itself a pretty cool place. For anyone wanting a genuine Santa Fe experience, CasadeVaca II feels like a house that's been there for a century or two but with modern amenities and comforts. And there's a pizza joint and a grocery store 8-10 minutes away. You know, for the necessities : ) Finally, we had the good fortune to meet the owners as they came to town to stay in an adjoining unit a few days before we checked out. They were great hosts and seemed happy and willing to ensure that we had a comfortable stay. I highly recommend CasadeVaca II for anyone coming to Santa Fe for a visit.

Forest views
Great forest and mountain views in a fairly private rental a reasonable drive from Santa Fe. Nice kitchen and bathrooms. Kitchen well stocked, but not cluttered. Nice amount of windows for natural light and forest views. Unique interior wood, stone, and tile construction in typical regional Adobe construction. Lots of outdoor patio and deck space in a private setting. Unit is part of a duplex. We hardly noticed the neighboring unit. Each has their own parking and entrance with good separation between the two. Road is not very walkable, however there are several hiking areas nearby, accessible by driving.

Secluded, yet close to everything
Beautiful views and beautiful lodging. There are so many lovely sitting areas, it's difficult to decide where to get settled! Peaceful and quiet. And still only 5-8 min drive to a major grocery store (Agora at El Dorado), and like 15 min drive to Santa Fe's Plaza. Other excellent restaurants nearby. Major hiking trails (dogs allowed), excellently maintained, are 0.5 mi down the road in both directions from the property. The wall unit ACs in master bedroom and living rm work well (but do note that second bedroom lacks AC and relies on fans). The smell of the highly mineralized tap water takes getting used to, but there is a purified tap for drinking and cooking. The host Francis is excellent with communication. Overall, a lovely place!

Quiet, scenic, peaceful, comfortable getaway for the weekend
Wanted somewhere to go close to home, and found this was the perfect solution. An hour away ,up in the mountains with a great view. Quiet, clean and beautiful home. Lots of places to sit and enjoy conversation, listen to the birds and relax. All the right things on hand, so we could cook, or a 15 min drive to downtown Santa Fe for restaurants and shopping. I came up to have a visit with a family member, and this was just what I wanted for a quiet visit. It is best suited for visitors over 12, as it might be challenging to watch small children on the stairs, as well as the terrain. The host provided detailed driving instructions which were so helpful. She responded quickly to questions and was so nice in her communications. I would definitely want to come here again. Beds were comfortable and the decor was well thought out. Loved the old New Mexico style of the home. The star gazing was spectacular. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!

This was the perfect getaway for my husband and I. Being tucked into the woods allowed for peaceful relaxation away from people and noise. While also being a close drive to fabulous restaurants and activities. Pet friendly as we always travel with our pup. I would highly recommend. Best of both worlds for vacationers who like outdoors/ alone time and a few classic tourist activities.

Peaceful Getaway
This home was a lovely, peaceful getaway about 15-20 minutes outside of Santa Fe. It was well-equipped, allowing us to settle in easily. The surrounding area is gorgeous, and the stargazing at night is incredible. The only caveat we would offer is that due to use of well water, the water pressure can be a bit weak and does smell of sulfur.
