Relish the beautiful hardwood floors, thick adobe walls, and viga ceilings. Enjoy the exquisite New Mexico art (both Spanish and Pueblo style) as well as traditional and contemporary furnishings. Enjoy both the Kiva fireplace and the always ready hot tub too! Dogs welcome!

The home is situated in a private compound in the Historic East Side of Santa Fe and while it is close to Canyon Road, the Capital, and the Plaza (about a mile) there is abundant open space. You can even hear the church bells from the St. Francis Cathedral. You (and your dog) will relax in the completely enclosed patio and garden. Ski Santa Fe is only 16 miles away!

After a day of skiing or hiking you'll love to take in the starry sky while you soak in the large, always ready hot tub!

Gorgeous on Garcia

We had an amazing time. It is a beautiful property. The hot tub was a really nice extra as well as the Kiva fireplace. The kitchen was well appointed. The bed, sheets, and towels were all really comfortable. Everything about the place is top-notch we loved it. We would recommend it to anybody who is interested in staying in Santa Fe?

Ideal, quiet location

We stayed a week in Fran's home on Garcia St and after a few days it felt like we'd moved to Santa Fe. It's such a pretty and quiet neighborhood, yet with easy walking access to Canyon Road, or a longer but pleasant walk to the Plaza area. Highly recommend.

November 2023 Stay at Gorgeous on Garcia

The adobe home on Garcia in the historic eastside of Santa Fe exceeded our expectations. Tucked away among other homes off Garcia Road, the location was private and very quiet. We were able to walk to Canyon Road through a neighborhood gate, arriving at Alameda and Canyon in under 10 minutes. The home is a large two bedroom that could easily accommodate 4 to 6 adults with two bathrooms, ample kitchen, and convenient utility closet for washer/dryer. The kiva fireplace and large supply of firewood (piñon and oak) made for a wonderfully cozy fire every night. There is also a large backyard covered patio with table and barbeque grill. The hot tub off the primary suite bathroom was very clean, with high power jets and consistent temperature. The artwork in the home is gallery-quality and representative of the Santa Fe and northern New Mexico styles and cultures. The VRBO owner, Frances, was extremely helpful and responsive in our communications. She made the extra effort to suggest activities and restaurants as well as clearly delineate her expectations for guests. There were detailed booklets describing checkin and checkout procedures, guidelines, and highlights of things to do in the region. We plan to stay here again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Fran

I grew up in Santa Fe and attended the nearby 'Garcia St. Club' as a young girl. I've always loved this part of Santa Fe and so pleased to own this authentic, yet modern, adobe. I left New Mexico to attend Stanford University in California and have lived in the Bay Area since, now residing in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco.

Professionally, I'm a veteran of several Internet start-ups most notably Match.com and TrustArc (privacy solutions), and now BabyQuip, baby equipment rental service for traveling families.

In San Francisco, I often rent my home and my guests invariably remark on its comfort, style and art. I hope you will will feel the same at my homes on Garcia St.

Why they chose this property

To me, Garcia St. is quintessentially Santa Fe. Beautiful homes and 'compounds' adorn both sides of the long boulevard as it climbs toward the Santa Fe foothills. My property is nestled in a historic compound with an exceptional setting and location.

This is my first house on Garcia St., I recently bought and renovated the house next door, Casa Kateri (VRBO 859493), which is a larger 3 bedroom home. Together they make an idea "compound" for larger groups and families.

The home is quiet, warm and comfortable with all the authentic Santa Fe features you'd want: Viga ceilings, Kiva fireplace, hardwood floors and thick adobe walls.

This home also offers air conditioning, updated gourmet kitchen and bathrooms, large outside portal in back and private portal and hot tub off the Master bedroom. The home is expertly decorated and includes all the conveniences such as wireless Internet, HD TVs, and Sonos sound. Check out the incredible New Mexico art.

What makes this property unique

When you enter the quiet lane and you will immediately feel the serenity of the natural peace and quiet and take in the fresh mountain air.

On foot (and through the secret shortcut) you can easily explore the old adobe filled neighborhoods, jaunt over to Museum Hill, take an art amble on Canyon Road, and go to the historic Plaza - less than a mile - for the many restaurants and entertainment options.

During the winter, easy access up to the Santa Fe ski area (16 miles).
