About this property

Peaceful Eastside Retreat Near Museum Hill & Plaza, Panoramic Mountain Views

Located in the foothills close to Museum Hill in a safe gated community yet only minutes to the plaza, this peaceful Eastside retreat is nestled privately in the Piñon Juniper Pygmy Forest.*

Enjoy two glorious outdoor spaces: A spacious deck surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez mountains provides a gracious space for evening, moonlit entertaining or a shaded mid-day barbeque. For your private times, a more intimate patio off the master bedroom opens up to a luscious garden with a waterfall and pond for morning sunrise and coffee. At night, view the stars and the moon rise over Sun Mountain from the hot tub situated in the beautiful gardens just steps away from the master bedroom.

Cloudstone Muse offers two relaxing options for outdoor dining for your take-out dining experience: a beautiful deck with a mesquite dining table offers sunset mountain views, or the colorful patio flower garden with the trickling sounds of a waterfall.

Inside, the soaring high ceilings of the large open living space house a massive Kiva and a well-equipped, gourmet kitchen. A free standing island is ideal for food preparation – or for just gathering around over lunch or coffee or homemade margarita’s. Offering privacy and physical distance, each bedroom is located at opposite ends of the living space.

Panoramic mountain views offer a peaceful, contemplative opportunity for those seeking a beautiful, quiet space that feels secluded yet is convenient to all the activities of a Santa Fe summer, downtown or in the wild. Modern details combined with traditional southwest architectural details provide a taste of southwest tranquility with a sun-drenched contemporary touch.

Surrounded by many hiking trails, Cloudstone Muse offers many options for those seeking to unwind from city life by exploring the beautiful high desert and natural areas that Santa Fe offers.

Very Nice Home in Santa Fe

We really enjoyed staying at this home for our trip to Santa Fe. The host was great to work with and the furnishings were fantastic. The location is close to everything but far enough out of the city to be quiet and relaxing. Great place and highly recommended.

Lovely stay in the foothills

Feels quiet and remote in the beautiful foothills of Santa Fe, but you are 10 minutes from every convenience. Host is helpful and responsive. We had a lovely two weeks there with our kiddos - hot tub was wildly successful with the little ones.

Beautiful and peaceful Santa Fe getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, immaculate and well-equipped house. The landscaping design and outdoor spaces are also beautiful and fit in well with the breathtaking views of the foothills. The property was even more impressive in person than shown in the photos. Quiet location, close to the Plaza, Museum Hill and Canyon Road. We also really enjoyed the hot tub. Cynthia was very helpful and attentive. We will definitely keep this property in mind for future visits to Santa Fe.

Santa fe visit

Cloudstone Muse is a wonderful place to stay if you're going to Santa fe area. It's close enough to town, yet feels much more secluded in its foothill location. The property is very nice, well maintained, and tastefully decorated. We highly recommend staying here if coming to Santa fe.

Santa Fe charm

We had an exceptional stay at Cynthia’s house. The place is beautiful- my husband and I agreed this was easily the best decorated and most charming house we’ve ever rented. It is located in a beautiful, safe neighborhood and surrounded by nature and hills. Cynthia is super sweet and an extremely attentive host who is available at a moments notice should you need anything. If you are looking for a place that is super clean, well appointed, and the epitome of Santa Fe charm, then look no further, this is the place!

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Carter

Host profile image
I've lived in Santa Fe for over 26 years, and consider myself a true "local" now, and sometimes I even feel like a native!

I grew up in the Midwest and longed to live in the mountains, especially after taking a few ski trips in my early 20s. After having experienced the west, I decided to begin my search for the perfect place to live. On one of my exploratory western trips I visited Santa Fe and knew the moment I arrived that I was home.

I enjoy traveling and visiting places that are much different culturally than America. A perfect vacation to me is one involving physical activities and cultural immersion, spending time with locals and learning about their culinary and cultural traditions and way of life. I enjoy most outdoor activities: most frequently mountain biking, hiking and downhill skiing. I taught skiing for a couple of years up at Ski Santa Fe, and look forward to teaching again.

I take great pride in creating beauty indoors and outdoors, and love the peaceful satisfaction that comes from creating and living in these spaces. I also appreciate and greatly respect the flora and fauna that inhabit the land and believe in being a good steward and caregiver to the land.

Currently I live in Santa Fe in a guest house that is near the vacation rental, close enough so I may respond quickly if you have any needs, but far enough away that we both are able to enjoy our own space and privacy.

Why they chose this property

When I found this home and the fruit trees, the beautiful architectural features and gorgeous patio area and gardens, I simply fell in love. It feels like a retreat here, especially in the summertime. The home had everything that was important to me: beauty, views, convenient location to downtown and restaurants, and has a 5-minute easy access to route 25 which makes trips to Albuquerque painless.

I also enjoy the peaceful drive along Old Santa Fe Trail that leads to most areas in town that I frequent.

Sun and Moon mountains are nearby, and there is a nice hiking trail that leads up Sun Mountain, the trail head is only 1/2 mile away and is a great hike to take before starting the day. Once at the top, on one side you look down into the valley where St. Johns College is located, the other side has expansive views to Santa Fe and beyond to the Sandia mountains in Albuquerque.

What makes this property unique

The home is minutes from town and because of the location it is a lovely and easy drive on Old Santa Fe Trail along Pinon studded hills on the way to downtown, the plaza, restaurants, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.

Situated on acreage in the Santa Fe foothills, the home is surrounded by native flora and fauna, and has numerous fruit trees on the property. Occasionally you'll see a herd of deer wander through, hawks soaring above or humming birds visiting the flower garden. You feel like you are far out in the country, as the home is on a gated dirt road, yet you are less than 1/8 mile from the pavement of Old Santa Fe Trail and only 8 minutes from downtown and the plaza.

Numerous outdoor sitting areas, including a large curved deck accessed by an 8' sliding door from the living room wraps around the home and overlooks western mountain sunsets and views of the northern mountains. A smaller, more intimate patio provides shade and is immersed in honeysuckle and wisteria with a backdrop that includes a beautiful flower garden, Ponderosa pines and deciduous trees.

Unique architectural details in the home that add to your Santa Fe experience include: large, louvered La Puerta doors that invite in a beautiful flower garden just beyond; a heavy, mesquite front door greets you with a Mexican rod iron window insert and solid iron fixtures; soaring high ceilings in the great room and kitchen with vigas and split cedar ceilings; a lovely kiva fireplace accessed from two sides: the kitchen, and opposite the kitchen, in front of a romantic loveseat in the great room.

Living room has HD 4K 50" smart TV, with a bluetooth sound bar system that you can connect to using a device or computer. Television options include Directv offering all local stations, and most channels offered on a cable service including CNN, AMC and sports channels, Netflix and Hulu.
