Contemporary Casa w/courtyard, 10 min. stroll to Canyon Road & historic Santa Fe

Permit #: 155447

Casa Viga Grande (The House-with-the-Massive-Beams) is tucked into a historically authentic and quiet neighborhood above Canyon Road --Santa Fe's prestigious art and gallery district. Winding, narrow streets are reminiscent of Old Europe.

This air-conditioned 1600 square foot Southwest Style Casa offers all the conveniences and charm of contemporary Santa Fe. The spaciousness of high, massive, viga-beam ceilings provide a counterpoint to the rich detail of decor. Everywhere, fine original art and thoughtfully placed artifacts meet the eye.

One uniquely appealing aspect of Viga Grande is the layout. Two completely separate and spacious bedroom suites each have their own private stone-tiled baths. As such, two couples find the equivalency between suites to be appealing. While one suite is more spacious internally; the other opens out onto its own private patio.

The well appointed kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances; double french doors unite the dining area with a second very private patio and gated garden.

The two bathrooms are beautiful and modern, with high-end tile and fixtures. The master bath has two sinks, a separate double-headed shower, and a large bathtub.

A museum-brick drive greets guests as they enter the property --which is virtually hidden behind a hand-forged iron gate. There is off-street parking for two-to-three vehicles. The fire pit on the back patio works intermittently and therefore should not be considered part of the rental.

Once in the famed Canyon Road gallery district of Santa Fe, the 3 minute drive (or 15 minute walk) to Viga Grande begins by following the historically soulful and nourishing Acequia Madre waterway (lovingly referred to by locals as 'The Mother Ditch') and then winding uphill through some of Santa Fe's most charming residential areas.

A free shuttle is also available on Canyon Road, making it easy to explore many other locations in Santa Fe -- including the Rail Yard District.

No pets are permitted at this home!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Wonderful, Traditional Santa Fe Home

We were in Santa Fe to visit our family who live on the Eastside. This property was perfect for my husband and I traveling with our adult daughter. The home is also conveniently located for tourists as it is within walking distance of Museum Hill and the Canyon Rd. gallery and arts district. The home is clean, thoughtfully layed-out, and well appointed. We found it has several comfortable areas to relax and enjoy the lovely Santa Fe atmosphere, both inside and outside the home. It seems ideal for either a short- or much longer-term visit. We will not hesitate to return to this guest house if we are ever lucky enough to find it available again!

Great 2 BR home in Santa Fe

We really enjoyed our stay at this pretty 2 BR/BA home just outside of downtown Santa Fe. It was very spacious and well equipped with the items we needed. Check-in and check-out procedures were easy. Clear instructions for wifi and a/c units. Definitely would return to stay here. We were about 8 minutes drive time to La Fonda and easy parking.

quiet get away

I found the property manager very helpful, He was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. Great communication.The home itself was very charming, and well equipped. However, for relaxing around the fire and tv, a larger couch would have been more comfortable. Maybe one full couch and then a love seat. In addition, I appreciate the need to be careful with towels and water usage, but there was only one towel per person. Not ideal for someone with long hair. On a positive note, the beds were very comfortable!I found the location to be a bit closed in. It is an easy walk down the hill to town, but t is located at the end of a very narrow, tight street, tucked way in and has no views at all. My fault as I did not google earth it in advance.I would probably not stay here again, but only due to its location at the end of the street. It made me feel claustrophobic.Thank you.

Lovely Visit

Clean, Quiet, beautifully decorated and well appointed. We have been visiting Santa Fe for several years so we are very familiar with the weather and this year was a bit of an exception, however the water ruts on Camino sin Nombre were so severe we could barely get through with our car which is not a four-wheel drive and the ankle-deep mud pool in front of the driveway gate was a show stopper. You cannot leave the property on foot without boots. We plan to return to Santa Fe next year but perhaps a different location.

Secluded beautiful quiet casita

Stayed here with my mother for a long weekend. Everything was lovely: the kitchen was well appointed, rooms were clean with beautiful local art, and the garden was just starting to bloom. The place had everything we needed and was delightfully quiet in the evenings. Close to everything we wanted to do. Great communication from the hosts! We would 100% stay here again the next time we come to Santa Fe.

Our long time go-to home in Santa Fe

This Beautiful secluded home in the quaint historic east side on a hill above Canyon Road, it has lovely furnishings, accessories, and original art. We and our friends have stayed here several times. Overall, the place is clean, with the exception of finding lots of dead bugs around the exterior doors and window sills, which we had to remove. The home was obviously cleaned, but probably not recently checked before our arrival. Each time that we have stayed in this home, we wanted to use the outdoor gas fire pit on the beautiful private patio, but have been disappointed every time that it was not working. We trust that the owner will attend to our suggestions, as we always look forward to making Casa Viga Grande our place to stay on our next trip to Santa Fe.

Thank you for a lovely stay!

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Casa Viga after the VRBO we originally booked had an issue that left it inhabitable. After all the stress, it was great to stay in a comfortable and worry free environment. Location is close to all that Santa Fe has to offer and we spent a few cozy nights in front of the fireplace. Richard went the extra mile and was able to move up our check in time due to our situation. Would definitely stay here again in warmer weather to enjoy the fire pit and outdoor areas. Thank you - it was a great place to ring in the new year!

The house was very comfortable to settle into. We could spread out or be together. Easy to use tv, kitchen appliances, showers. Well equipped. Great location, we did not enjoy the spacious outdoor settings as we went to several places in the area where we checked out the lovely New Mexico landscape, like Jemez Springs and Ghost Ranch.

Charming home, just blocks from Canyon Road

Our group of two couples truly enjoyed our stay at this historic property, situated between Canyon Road and Museum Hill. The home was beautifully decorated, updated and well equipped with things like a six burner Wolf range, beautiful riginal artwork and lighting. We enjoyed the small seating area outside, with BBQ, firepit, and the like. We highly recommend it.
