Peaceful Hilltop Casita w/ Stunning Views, Close to the Historic Plaza

Our casita, Cielito Lindo, is located in exclusive North Hills, situated at an altitude of 7,200 ft. on a serene and beautiful hilltop, three minutes from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, galleries, restaurants, shopping and night life. Experience sunrises and sunsets as you've never seen before. Night is especially magical in North Hills. In the summer, sit outside on your private portal listening to the wind sighing in the piñons. Gaze at stars so bright you can almost touch them. Hear the howl of coyotes in far-off hills and, in between, a serene and profound silence unique to the high desert country of northern New Mexico. In the winter, build a roaring fire in the kiva and snuggle in with a book, music or television or just listen in silence to the crackling fire. Cielito Lindo is a place to reconnect - with yourself and with the world around you.

Situated on a hilltop off a quiet street with private parking, Cielito Lindo offers a cosy, romantic getaway that features a large living room complete with a Kiva fireplace, 50" TV, and stereo system. Enjoy home cooked meals from the spacious fully equipped kitchen or take a short walk down to the plaza for shopping and restaurants. The bedroom offers a queen bed, along with plenty of closet space. The den can also be used as a second bedroom complete with a sleeper sofa or as an office while working away from home.

This casita is ideal for a writer, painter, arts lover, couple or family in search of serenity and all the natural beauty that Santa Fe has to offer.

For those interested in working offsite, the casita has high speed internet accessed through cable. The service provider is Xfinity and our plan includes their Performance Pro internet (300 Mbps download speed, gaming, multiple devices), and digital TV.

Conveniently located about 1 mile from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, shops, grocery stores, galleries and museums and a 12-minute drive from the world-famous outdoor Santa Fe Opera.

For skiers/boarders which the owners are, the base of the Ski Santa Fe Quad is 17 miles or a 30-minute drive away. You can also take a bus to the ski basin; the bus stop and free parking are two minutes from the casita.

Beautiful and spacious casita. Loved the fireplace. Kitchen was well stocked with coffee and cookware. Bed was super comfy. Location was great as it was close to many conveniences but quiet. Host provided lots of helpful information prior to arrival. Would definitely recommend.

This is our second time staying at this little casita. I can’t say enough about how great it was to have a place like this to stay in Santa Fe. It’s a five minute drive to the plaza so location is great. It was November when we were there so we fired up the kiva fireplace after coming back to the casita after a long day of adventures. It was clean, cozy, and had everything that we needed.

The casita was so comfortable. The hosts were great and so responsive and communicative. They also had some great tips on what to do and where to eat for guests new to the area. It was a perfect location: close to all the services, and downtown, but far enough out to have a country feel. The sunset views were great. We would definitely stay there again.

This is our favorite VRBO. The hosts are exceptional. They allow you your privacy but are always there if anything needs doing and they have amazing suggestions for things to do while in northern New Mexico. We've stayed on multiple occasions and have noticed that they keep the property in top notch condition and often add little touches to make our stay completely satisfying.

We loved this place! Beautiful outdoor patio and lots of nonstop entertainment from hummingbirds. Lots of other birds, a visit from a young buck deer with beautiful velvet on his antlers, coyotes at night and gorgeous sunsets. Kitchen was well stocked as far as cooking utensils. Very quiet and comfortable and it will be our first choice when we return to Santa Fe.
