Casa de las Piedras - Pueblo Style, Hike, Views

Summary:

Welcome to Casa de las Piedras, a one-of-a-kind Pueblo-style retreat tucked into the hills outside Santa Fe. Surrounded by high-desert beauty and sweeping mountain and valley views, this rustic 2-bedroom home is filled with regional art, vigas, and Southwestern charm. Watch golden sunsets from the stone terrace, gather for meals in the gazebo, and step out your door onto hiking trails, with downtown Santa Fe just a short drive away.
