The house was amazing and the deck and gardens were incredibly beautiful. The kitchen has everything you could ever need and is a delight to cook in. The house and living spaces are very comfortable and well lit. Trader Joe's and the best French cafe I have ever been to all super close! We loved our stay here. It is a solid 10 out of 10!

We really enjoyed the house

We particularly enjoyed the patio and the backyard. The kitchen is well designed, and we cooked several dinners that we enjoyed on the patio. The bedrooms and other facilities accommodated my family perfectly.

This is a beautiful, well appointed home. Whimsical, fun, and comfy, which reminded us of artistic homes in Spain. Getting to and from the Plaza, is quite easy, and we were always able to park, in the municipal lot. The back patio is so relaxing and a wonderful spot to start your day. I highly recommend this home for your Santa Fe getaway.

Beautiful house, continently located, comfortable, and within walking distance of the plaza and rail yard. We had a great time and very much enjoyed coffee on the back porch listening to the water feature and watching birds and humming birds come and go. Perfect for a home base to see the area. Great kitchen and a short distance from Trader Joe’s, making a meal or snack restock a snap. Thank you again to our hosts, the house was very clean, towels luxurious ,and comfortable linens.

Gorgeous place!

I've stayed in many vacation homes all over the world and this one is at the top in terms of beauty, comfort and amenities. The place is just drop-dead gorgeous, with artisan touches everywhere, a beautiful interior design and just about everything (even little cold packs in the freezer) one might need. A true delight to live in for a few days.

Great House!

Had a group of 6 celebrating a 50th birthday and couldn’t have asked for a better house to stay in. Plenty of room, comfortable, lots of natural light and the outdoor setting for morning coffee or afternoon drinks beautiful! Close walk to restaurants and shopping. Loved it!

This house is an artful masterpiece. From the moment you walk in, you can feel a peacefulness in your heart and soul. We have made several visits to the Hobbitt House and all have been memorable. There is so much to do in Santa Fe and a good way to start your day is take a walk to the Rose Garden and smell the flowers, then continue your walk to Clafoutis bakery for beignets to-go that you can eat on your back patio with your coffee while you watch the hummingbirds enjoying the trumpet vine.

If a place could get 6 stars, this would be it. The home is a complete work of art, everything custom made and charming, but so totally comfortable. And the backyard is a refuge in the city — we spent as much time in it as we could. Kitchen is extremely well-stocked and ready for use. Location was very convenient to all parts of Santa Fe, with good shopping and restaurants within a short walk. We would rank this among the top places we’ve ever stayed.

Best house ever!

This home is a work of art! Around every rounded corner there is something else magical. The stone work, mosaics, collections of pots and pottery, just everything speaks to you! This is the best equipped VRBO rental we have ever used. And so clean! Thank you to our hosts who were always available if we needed them or had a question. I want to do a girlfriends trip here next year and have more spa time at Ten Thousand Waves!

A well equipped very special home

The house is truly amazing and that alone might have been enough but, it was also one of the best equipped rental properties I've stayed at. Great location for exploring Santa Fe and the surrounding area. We utilized Trader Joe's nearby and cooked almost exclusively.

Surrounded by art: great location

Sheila and Terry's hobbit house is a true work of art--comfortable, cozy and well-stocked too. We loved watching the hummingbirds in the garden. Just a short drive to the center of town and surrounded by great restaurants and plenty of places to shop. Can't think of a single negative thing to say.

Another lovely stay at the Hobbit House

This is our very favorite property of all. We have stayed here on several trips (3?4?) and always try to get the Hobbit House, if possible. The house is beautifully decorated and every need has been anticipated. On this trip, we had our two grown daughters with us and the house easily and comfortably accommodated all of us. Very convenient location and attentive hosts,

What a PERFECT place to stay!

From the beautiful artwork and style as well as the entire design of the home plus the thoughtfulness of our hosts, we were enchanted. The back patio was a favorite place for meals, sunset watching and just enjoying the gorgeous waterfall and flowers. From great beds, fluffy robes, individual room control air, shampoos, soaps, even coffee creamer, plus quality kitchen essentials, the hosts make your stay so easy! The location is convenient to all we wanted to do and they provided directions and information that was very helpful. We can't wait to stay ath the Hobbit house again!

Incredible home!

I stayed with a group of 5 for a long weekend high school "reunion" trip. This place was incredible and surpassed our needs. The house itself is beautiful, and spacious. Location was also very convenient, as nothing was more than a 5-15min drive away. I also went on a run in the morning and easily found a nice bike trail to follow. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Sheila Northway and Terry Northway

Host profile image
My wife and I have lived in Santa Fe for the last 40 years and for the last 10, we have wanted to play 'host.' We bought a house in a key location, and for 5 years, I 'dolled it up' with an attempt to make it a 'live-in art gallery.' It was so fun, I now am doing more of this kind of work. Sheila came in with her green thumb, and designed and planted the landscaping, plus, she oversaw all the interior decoration and furnishings. Now we work together to get it ready for guests. We enjoy sharing the house with our guests.

Why they chose this property

Santa Fe Hobbit House is unique and comfortably situated in a quiet but centrally located neighborhood.
