Historic Garden Retreat | Hot Tub, Walk to Plaza

Whether you're a gardener or simply a nature lover, this downtown Santa Fe home will thrill you! Flowers and foliage lean over garden paths, adding color and scent to this gorgeous 2-story home.
Historic Garden Retreat is steps away from the Plaza, yet this beautiful adobe house can seem quite secluded, thanks to generous grounds and lush gardens. It sleeps 8 people very comfortably in 4 bedrooms, and even boasts multiple living areas, a luxe remodeled kitchen, HDTVs and DVD players, and free WiFi.
Kiva fireplaces grace both the living room and its adjacent sitting room, a light-filled alcove with deep reading chairs and good lighting from a central lamp. There is also an informal den with a long sectional couch and big flat-screen TV, so your group can break up into smaller segments based on what everyone wants to do. Relax, spread out, and get comfortable in this roomy house!
Historic Garden Retreat is ideal for your large group. The kitchen here encourages chefs to have fun preparing Santa Fe's mouth-watering produce and tasty treats from the Farmer's Market. Stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, and cupboards stuffed with cooking gadgets, pots and pans, and serving dishes all tempt you to fill the fridge with groceries and treat your gang to homemade pancakes in the morning or nachos at night.
There are several places to enjoy the feasts from the kitchen, too. A breakfast bar with bistro stools lets family members keep the chef company (and makes a nice table for the kids), while the formal dining room is a breathtaking sunshiny space boasting a chandelier and a long wooden table. Of course, you may also want to take food and drinks outdoors, into the garden!
As much as your group will enjoy the common areas at Historic Garden Retreat, there's nothing like a great night's rest on vacation, and everyone will happily settle into their bedrooms each night. The master suite offers a king-sized bed with a huge flat-screen TV and ac
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A flat-screen television along with a DVD player are provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy recreational amenities such as a hot tub and a sauna. Additional features at this vacation home include complimentary wireless internet access and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

My favorite VRBO in Santa Fe

Our family has been coming to Santa Fe for many years. This home met our needs better than any place we have stayed in the past. It is truly representative of all the things that make one feel as if they are in a different country which is one reason we love Santa Fe. It has a great location near the plaza and Ft. Marcy park for kids. It is tastefully decorated, well appointed and has every amenity that we look for in a luxury property. It is apparent that the owners take great pride in this historic gem.In the future we will always look to stay at this property if available.

We loved the house. It truly makes you feel like you are in Santa Fe with the way it's designed and decorated. It's also very close to the Old Town so we were able to walk there. The hot tub and fireplaces added to the coziness.

Wonderful Christmas Away

My family and I stayed here for the week of Christmas- the kitchen is incredibly well stocked with everything we needed to cook and host Christmas dinner. The house is very spacious, clean, and well taken care of. Location is excellent- we walked into town often. Highly recommend if you are visiting Santa Fe!

Sibling weekend in Sant Fe

We enjoyed our long weekend in Santa Fe. We had 6 adults and this house suited our needs well. It was a very short drive to downtown. The house was clean and everything is well labeled. The only hiccup was that the door code was not provided in any of the checkin information, but luckily one of our party arrived before the office closed at 5pm and was able to call and get that information.

Perfect Santa Fe home

Our family has stayed in many rentals and hotels in Santa Fe over the years. This one has been the best. The home is large and comfortable. Easy walking distance to the Plaza. The off-street, gated parking was a huge bonus in this busy part of town. The property is around the corner from a park with playground, which the kids loved. Easy access to major roads, too, but the property itself is cozy and quiet. Very nice kitchen, beautiful garden, large common areas, a few fun games and puzzles available for the kids. We will look here first when we return again.

Vintage Santa Fe

A large older home but exceptionally well-maintained and well-equipped with modern amenities. Casually landscaped grounds, but cared for and enjoyable, plants and birds. Hot tub advertised but it wouldn't be high on a list. Close to downtown though not easily walkable. Plenty of room for our 4 guests, though only 2 bathrooms

Fantastic property! Photos are realistic and the property is true to the Santa Fe vibe. The property is fully stocked with all the necessities for kitchen and comfort for the house. We enjoyed all the various spaces for sitting, reading, and hanging out together. Property owner was very clear with communications, instructions, and helpful tips for the area. We enjoyed our stay and would consider staying there in the future.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property in Santa Fe. The home and garden are absolutely charming. The house is full of pieces and whimsical art reflecting the Santa Fe lifestyle. The garden was full of hanging bird feeders attracting many bird including a pair of orioles that we enjoyed watching in the morning. Would highly recommend this property!

Beautiful Home

The home is lovely and quintessential "Santa Fe", with so much character and decor. The courtyard provides a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the landscaping. The house was wonderfully clean, with fun nooks and sitting areas throughout the house. The only drawback was we couldn't get the icemaker to work, and there were issues with the washer and dryer, but that should not prevent anyone from staying here, it was simply beautiful. It is close to the downtown/plaza area and if walking, there is an incline getting back to the property. All and all, a great place to stay.

Perfect Santa Fe Location!

My family and I stayed at the historic garden retreat for 5 nights. We have 3 daughters and there was plenty of room for all of us! The house is so charming and exceptionally clean…the bedrooms and baths are all wonderful. We enjoyed cooking a few meals at the house and the kitchen is well stocked. There are so many sitting spaces- we especially enjoyed having a glass of wine in the evenings in the nook off of the living room! We never did use the kivas or hot tub due to time- but a very nice addition to the home. The house is located five minutes from just about every restaurant and shopping at the square. And about 25 minutes to ski Santa Fe. We only encountered one problem of a clogged toilet- we had a hard time getting management to take care of it (took almost 24 hours). Other than that.. everything was absolutely perfect and we hope to come back one day! A beautiful home - we are thankful to have found such a lovely place to stay over the holidays.
