The Experience
The home is located right on the Santa Fe River which gives guests immediate access to day hiking, playing in the water and listening to the sounds of river water flowing, all within steps of back yard. The home is also equipped with four bikes and helmets for guest use.
Added in the winter of 2021, a brand new hot tub and fire pit area in the fully fenced backyard add to the guest experience.
Dale Ball Trails: The Dale Ball Trail system is a 22 mile network of trails in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. These trails are popular for hiking and mountain biking and the trail heads are accessible by foot from the home. The trails offer great opportunities for beginners and advanced hikers/bikers alike, along with amazing views of the surrounding. Best new is dogs are allowed. You can make your loop as short or as long as you want: for example Loop 1,2,3 takes me about 1hr 15 min. This trail is very beginner friendly and not very technical.
Randall Davey Audubon Center & Sanctuary: The Audubon center is less than a mile walk from the home. Ranging from common to rare, approximately 190 species of birds can be found in or over the various ecosystems of this sanctuary. The sanctuary is free to the public and we have a few pairs of binoculars for use at the home to take with you.

The Neighborhood
Looking for that old Santa Fe charm? Welcome to the Historic Eastside neighborhood. Winding, unpaved roads lead to wildflower-filled gardens and classic adobe homes. Locals around here take pride in two things: their dirt roads and tall gardens. Odds are, your neighbor will have the best tomato patch you’ve ever seen, and quite possibly a small rabbit farm.
Walkability is the name of the game here. With proximity to Canyon Road arts district and downtown, you’ll hit that 10,000 daily step goal by midday. Sweet cafes, bookstores and upscale dining are just a stone’s throw away. Window shop over 80 art galleries on our famous Canyon Road. Feel like stretching your legs? Take a quick bike ride to the Plaza! Or grab a pair of binoculars and head over to the nearby Audubon.

We recommend starting your mornings off at Downtown Subscription (an 8 minute drive), located at the corner of Garcia St and Acequia Madre. Pick up coffee and pastries for the house, or take a quiet morning for yourself with a latte and the paper.

Head west on Canyon Road and you’ll find yourself at brunch mecca, otherwise known as The Teahouse. With hundreds of teas to choose from, not to mention their stellar selection of eggs benedict- it’s no wonder locals and visitors alike love this place. Snag a seat on the sunny patio, order the strawberry shortcake and enjoy the people watching.
Santa Fe is known for its fantastic local art scene, and there’s no better place to start than Canyon Road.

If you feel like staying in, a home-cooked meal is all too easy to prepare in the chef’s kitchen. A quick trip to the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market will fetch the best in local produce!
