About this property

Private 5 star casita minutes from downtown

This sweet casita is nestled on the Big Tesuque Creek among mature cottonwood trees. Escape to this tranquil home after a day in Santa Fe, just 6 miles away or hike right from the door, up the Windsor Trail and into the Santa Fe National Forest. It is called Casita Margarita after my Aunt Margaret who influenced my love of textiles like the ones that decorate the casita! (You can also enjoy a fresh squeezed margarita here too!)

You will find everything you need in this cozy and private home. Tastefully and simply decorated with folk art from around the world, the casita will become your peaceful retreat. The studio style bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed with a new mattress and organic linens. The open living/dining/kitchen has a comfortable queen size pullout sofa set in front of the kiva fireplace. We provide high quality natural bed linens and use natural cleaning products to ensure your stay is healthy and fresh. The charming full bath is located just off the master bedroom. The kitchen is stocked for your use including essential spices and oils and coffee, teas and bubbly water. There is a private sitting area with a table and chairs in the enclosed courtyard for you to enjoy.

Air conditioning will keep you cool for those hot summer nights.

** Please note that this is a studio style home - a wide archway with a linen curtain separates the living spaces from the sleeping/bath. Pullout sofa is in the living area.

Tesuque is a unique village located just north of Santa Fe on Bishops Lodge Road. With traditional culture along the acequia and creek, two restaurants and several galleries nearby, you will have ample sights to explore. The Santa Fe Opera is located just west of Tesuque - a 5 minute drive from the casita. Between the Santa Fe plaza and the casita is the road to the world famous Ten Thousand Waves Japanese spa, to the stunning Santa Fe National Forest and to the Santa Fe Ski Basin. You can also access the National Forest by hiking straight from the casita and up along the Tesuque Creek....you can go a few miles or into the Pecos Wilderness for days.

We would be delighted to have you come and enjoy yourselves in our home when we are traveling!

Cozy Cottage
A sweet little adobe - when we arrived it was snowing so it did take us awhile to get the place warmed up. Very cozy with everything we needed to feel at home. The negative was the fact that it wasnt as secluded as we had expected. Busy neighborhood.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa

Host profile image
We have a wonderful property manager, Melissa Stoller, who has lived in Tesuque for most of her life. My name is Cindy and I am the owner. I have been visiting and working in Santa Fe for many years as a clothing and textile designer. Most of the year I live with my husband, 3 rescue dogs, 2 cats, a greenhouse, an outdoor oven, and a lovely straw bale studio in McAllister, Montana about one hour west of Yellowstone Park. Sometimes it is good to leave the harsh Montana winters although I love to ski and snowshoe. I travel often and am pleased to be able to share my Tesuque Casita while I am away.

Why they chose this property

Tesuque is a special village just outside of Santa Fe....I love the quiet, the small community, the river and the big shady trees. Northern New Mexico is a magical place to visit with 8 Indian Pueblos nearby, mountains to explore, and Santa Fe's arts and culture scene a must. While my Casita is tiny, it provides a quiet retreat with all the amenities of home.

What makes this property unique

This particular house is so charming....it is a traditional adobe with many special touches like art nichos, painted windows, vigas and a colorful kiva fireplace all surrounded by a privacy coyote fence. There is nothing like the aroma of Pinon wood burning on a crisp fall evening. In spring, sit outside under the umbrella to watch birds and take in the sun's rays.
