About this property

Private Upscale Mountain View Retreat just 12 Minutes From The Santa Fe Plaza.

"Experience comfort and stunning mountain views in this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom casita, accommodating up to 4 guests at Pueblo Encantado. Boasting the larger of the two available floor plans, this casita has been thoughtfully reimagined and remodeled, featuring enlarged baths for a luxurious stay. Enjoy special discounts for extended stays, with rates varying by season. The last photo in our gallery showcases the new floor plan layout."
Casa Garvey is a beautiful casita in an idyllic setting. Twelve minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza, both far enough yet near enough to the city to be just perfect, set in an attractive development of the Tesuque foothills two miles above Tesuque Village, ten minutes from the Santa Fe Opera. Across from the entrance to the development is the Four Seasons Luxury Resort, Rancho Encantado. The casita has the charm of the classic Santa Fe style, with transformed kitchen and baths. It's wonderfully comfortable in all seasons, with delightful patios to enjoy in the warmer months and Kiva coziness when the weather turns cooler. From the spacious patio take in the gorgeous views of the high desert hills and beautiful mountains. Santa Fe Baldy is in view, and an incredible nighttime sky. Beauty and serenity abound while being minutes away from restaurants, galleries, shopping, and plenty of outdoor activities.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful two-bedroom Casita just north of Santa Fe. The home was very well appointed with an authentic Santa Fe theme—warm, inviting, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel special. Tim and Karen were fantastic to communicate with and provided excellent suggestions for local sights and restaurants, which really added to our trip.The keyless entry made check-in effortless, and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and relaxing at home. The Casita was spacious enough that it would’ve been perfect for two couples, but it was equally comfortable for just the two of us. We drove in, but the location would be an easy commute from either the Albuquerque or Santa Fe airports.We wish we had stayed longer and will definitely be back the next time we’re in the area!

You’re welcome back anytime—we’d love to host you again when your travels bring you back to Santa Fe! Tim and Karen

Just what we needed!! A mother/daughter weekend!Loved the views and amenities. Our hikes at Kasha Katuwe National Monument, trailheads near Ski Santa Fe and very close to the Vrbo were great. Driving to the square was an easy 15 minute drive and the parking garage there was an easy maneuver!

Karen and I are so happy that you enjoyed your retreat with your daughter. Pueblo Encantado really lends itself to people that like to hike and enjoy nature but still have the ability to run into town and enjoy everything Santa Fe has to offer. We hope to see you again soon thanks again. Tim

Great home, great weather, great town

This is the third time we’ve visited Santa Fe. Thoroughly enjoyed this visit. A break from the heat back home. This home away from home had it all. Well equipped, very comfortable, close enough to town but also far enough away from the hustle bustle. Tim was very comfortable to work with throughout the reservation process and stay.

About the host

Hosted by James T garvey

Host profile image
Love to travel and really appreciate a well appointed space. If you aren't using our place and we are vacationing its either here or in Utah Skiing. Our primary residence is Dallas Texas where Karen is in healthcare and Tim designs and builds luxury homes.

Why they chose this property

We rented this unit in November of 2020 and fell in love with the unit and the area. Very convenient from either Santa Fe or Albuquerque airports to fly and an easy drive from surrounding states .

What makes this property unique

A previous owner did a complete remodel to what was a good floorplan and made it even better for short stays . The bathrooms are larger and now have heated floors as well as baseboard heaters. We use the home frequently and are constantly looking to improve it. We have quite a few regular guests that we see once or twice every year and really enjoy the communication with them. After booking, I’m very easy to get a hold of by telephone or email. Happy to answer questions about the unit or the area. We have guests we talk to daily about the area and some guests keep to themselves.We are fine either way as long as our guests are happy
