The space Casa de la Vaca I – Peaceful Guest House on 5 Acres Near Santa Fe For over a decade, Casa de la Vaca I has welcomed guests seeking peace, comfort, and the beauty of nature.

With nearby hiking trails, starry night skies, and panoramic mountain views, it’s the perfect escape while still being close to great restaurants, the Agora Market, and historic Route 66. Pet-friendly with prior approval ($75 per pet). The Space This two-level, one-bedroom casita has been fully refreshed and thoughtfully furnished.

Outside, enjoy a private patio and courtyard with a grill, sitting area, and space for yoga or morning coffee under the portal. Special Notes: 1. Water – Our water comes from a shared underground well. It is filtered through a triple ozone system, multi-stage filtration, and a Primo water filtered dispenser. While perfectly safe, it may carry a mild sulfur scent, common in remote mountain areas. If you prefer city water, you may want to stay in town. 2.
