About this property

Historic Garden Retreat | Hot Tub, Walk to Plaza

Whether you're a gardener or simply a nature lover, this downtown Santa Fe home will thrill you! Flowers and foliage lean over garden paths, adding color and scent to this gorgeous 2-story home.
Historic Garden Retreat is steps away from the Plaza, yet this beautiful adobe house can seem quite secluded, thanks to generous grounds and lush gardens. It sleeps 8 people very comfortably in 4 bedrooms, and even boasts multiple living areas, a luxe remodeled kitchen, HDTVs and DVD players, and free WiFi.
Kiva fireplaces grace both the living room and its adjacent sitting room, a light-filled alcove with deep reading chairs and good lighting from a central lamp. There is also an informal den with a long sectional couch and big flat-screen TV, so your group can break up into smaller segments based on what everyone wants to do. Relax, spread out, and get comfortable in this roomy house!
Historic Garden Retreat is ideal for your large group. The kitchen here encourages chefs to have fun preparing Santa Fe's mouth-watering produce and tasty treats from the Farmer's Market. Stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, and cupboards stuffed with cooking gadgets, pots and pans, and serving dishes all tempt you to fill the fridge with groceries and treat your gang to homemade pancakes in the morning or nachos at night.
There are several places to enjoy the feasts from the kitchen, too. A breakfast bar with bistro stools lets family members keep the chef company (and makes a nice table for the kids), while the formal dining room is a breathtaking sunshiny space boasting a chandelier and a long wooden table. Of course, you may also want to take food and drinks outdoors, into the garden!
As much as your group will enjoy the common areas at Historic Garden Retreat, there's nothing like a great night's rest on vacation, and everyone will happily settle into their bedrooms each night. The master suite offers a king-sized bed with a huge flat-screen TV and ac

Great stay

My family loved this house - the check in process was a bit frustrating because we were missing a check in document from Kokopelli, but I called them twice within ten minutes for two separate questions and they answered the phone promptly. Home was clean, and air conditioning worked well

Reclusion in Santa Fe

Wonderful location for extended weekend family reunion. So convenient and often within walking distance of downtown. Beautiful house that has retained much of the character over the years. Really enjoyed the space and serenity. Everything was clean and well presented! Thanks!

Hidden gem close to everything

This property far exceeded our expectations. It was the closest in town property to the ski resort and downtown. The cleanliness and organization in the house was the best I have seen of any rental property. 5 starts for sure! JB

Sibling weekend in Sant Fe

We enjoyed our long weekend in Santa Fe. We had 6 adults and this house suited our needs well. It was a very short drive to downtown. The house was clean and everything is well labeled. The only hiccup was that the door code was not provided in any of the checkin information, but luckily one of our party arrived before the office closed at 5pm and was able to call and get that information.

Beautiful Home

The home is lovely and quintessential "Santa Fe", with so much character and decor. The courtyard provides a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the landscaping. The house was wonderfully clean, with fun nooks and sitting areas throughout the house. The only drawback was we couldn't get the icemaker to work, and there were issues with the washer and dryer, but that should not prevent anyone from staying here, it was simply beautiful. It is close to the downtown/plaza area and if walking, there is an incline getting back to the property. All and all, a great place to stay.

Perfect location for Santa Fe

With 6 adult family members and one car -- this location was perfect because it was walking distance to the Plaza. Everyone had independence -- if they wanted a morning coffee at a local cafe or bookstore, they could just stroll into town. The home has a beautiful kitchen open to the family room which made socializing fun and easy with meal prep. The gated lot and yard with patio made for a peaceful secure setting. TVs and additional individual room heating was great for the 85-year old senior who was with us so that they could be comfortable and warm in their own room when they got tired. We had a very pleasant stay due to the VRBO residence we selected.

The property was simply amazing. The kitchen was extremely well stocked in fact better than our kitchen at home. The garden and hot tub were also much appreciated. The only wrinkle since we had seven people staying there was that there are are only two bathrooms. This made for a bit of a rush each morning. That was a small point overall considering how much we enjoyed our stay here.

Home was very charming and unique. The gardens are beautiful. Well appointed with towels, linens, books, kitchen well outfitted.The check-in and communication is a bit cumbersome. You’ll be inundated with communications and mediums for communication - Vrbo, VTrips (property management portal), text messages, emails from Kokokprlli (property management team), emails from VTrips (property management portal), emails from Vrbo. It’ll make your head spin…We got a bit of a run around/hide behind the rental agreement when asking (per Clause 7 of the rental agreement) if we could adjust hot tub temp to accommodate small children (also cited in Clause 7 that lower temps may be needed for kids) - 2 days no response.

I had a wonderful stay here with family. The property and home is absolutely beautiful and so convenient. Very well maintained. Be aware that the fourth bedroom is up some steep stairs, smelled stale, wasn't very inviting and didn't have a bathroom up there. So, we didn't really felt it met our needs and ended up not using it. However, that didn't impact my enjoyment of the home and property. Just a FYI. Five stars!

My favorite VRBO in Santa Fe

Our family has been coming to Santa Fe for many years. This home met our needs better than any place we have stayed in the past. It is truly representative of all the things that make one feel as if they are in a different country which is one reason we love Santa Fe. It has a great location near the plaza and Ft. Marcy park for kids. It is tastefully decorated, well appointed and has every amenity that we look for in a luxury property. It is apparent that the owners take great pride in this historic gem.In the future we will always look to stay at this property if available.
