Feed your soul with a unique Northern NM experience with this exquisite Adobe
Escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy the lovely, yet kid friendly, sanctuary of Casa Guiqueno. Perfect home base to see all of northern New Mexico and equipped with a level 2 EV charger station. Enjoy renowned whitewater rafting or a hike in the nearby Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, Carson National Forest, or Santa Fe National Forest or soak in nearby hot springs of Ojo Caliente. Perhaps just relax after a day of wine tasting in the local wineries and enjoy the fabulous vistas. The home is only 40 minutes from downtown Santa Fe, Taos, and Los Alamos. It is centrally located to ski areas of Sipapu, Pajarito, Santa Fe, and Taos as well and extremely close to rafting venues or the Opera, numerous Galleries, petroglyphs, and cultural activities. Go fly fishing up the Chama River or Rio Grande or rafting which is only minutes away. After soak your body in the home’s oversized clawfoot tub then sip wine while you soak in the fabulous vistas from this home. Create those memorable times away from home in this home. The home has two feet thick adobe walls with a viga, split cedar and pine latilla ceiling, with smooth plastered walls and a portal (veranda) overlooking the Rio Grande Valley and Sangre de Cristos to the east. This place is just what you imagined for Santa Fe adobe architecture with a modern touch, an amazing kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, but with a uniqueness all its own. A large basalt retaining wall with wrought iron gates provides privacy during your stay. Get the Santa Fe experience without all those high costs. Quick policy points to note: no events, no pets, no smoking on the premises, & number of guests on the reservation must match visiting the home.

This property is beautiful and close to everything New Mexico has to offer. Greg was very attentive and accommodating to our needs. I would highly recommend and will definitely be staying here again! Thanks Greg for sharing your beautiful home.
We couldn't decide if we wanted to stay in Taos or Santa Fe, and this was the perfect compromise! The home is STUNNING, spotless and well-appointed. The location is quiet and rural. The owner communicated with me quickly when the directions took us to the wrong address, and he was kind and so helpful.
We had 5 adults traveling as a family. 2 couples and our daughter. It would've been nice to have a 3rd bed for her versus a couch. We were close enough to Taos for skiing and to Ojo Caliente for soaking up the hot springs. The area is quiet and the home is spacious.
Everything was wonderful. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen spacious, the bathrooms had all the luxury comforts you could want and everything was clean and ready to use. The only thing I’d have added was a second, more comfortable couch.
We loved our stay at this very comfortable Adobe in Rio Arriba county. Greg was a super host and responded quickly to every message we sent. Very authentic Santa Fe style and drinking coffee on the spacious front porch watching the sun come up was exactly what we wanted. We made easy trips into Santa Fe and to the lavender farm and to the Georgia O’Keeffe Welcome Center and Abiquiu Inn for breakfast and dinner. Driving into the property have us a little pause because of being two women alone, but we felt perfectly safe upon arrival. Thanks Greg , we will recommend your beautiful place to anyone wanting to get out of the city and into the enchantment of Northern New Mexico.
Our family stayed here with ages ranging from 15 to 85. We all enjoyed the house, the property and the neighborhood. It's a welcoming rural retreat while still being close to the Ohkay Owingeh pueblo and Espanola so there's lots of opportunity to shop for local crafts and check out the local cuisine. We used the high-end kitchen extensively and it was seamless for full meal cooking. We especially enjoyed sitting and eating on the porch while taking in the scenic views. Greg, the property contact, was outstanding to coordinate with including fast responsiveness and thoughtfulness in addressing our needs. I strongly recommend this location as a place to stay.

The owner is a liar saying we smoked in the house and he called and woke me up at 1230 am to say the lights were on. Now he says there is damage total crap!
Delightfully adapted adobe house, with a deep porch for sitting outside with morning coffee or evening wine, offering a lovely view of fields and mountains. Star- viewing at night was exceptional. Comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, big living area with amazing dining table, and responsive property host.
Incredibly gorgeous adobe, super comfortable, had everything we needed. Loved being away from the tourist areas, able to watch the moon rise over the Rio and see the leaves change color. Serene and peaceful, perfect base from which to explore.
Beautiful, well appointed house and just what we were looking for. Fantastic, classic New Mexico view from the front porch. Quiet neighborhood. Convenient to Santa Fe, Abiqui, and El Rito for dinner. Definitely recomnend ut and we will probably return
An absolutely beautiful house to stay in. We used this as a home base over several days in order to check out Santa Fe and Taos. It took about an hour to get to both from the house. There was plenty of room for 4 adults.
The house is beautiful and unique. Clean, stocked with everything you could need for a home away from home. Greg was helpful, responsive, and flexible with us. Will stay here again.

Greg, our host, was the BEST host I have ever worked with!!!! He couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating!
This property is amazing! It is clean, beautiful, very different from the Midwest…I struggle to find appropriate words. I would highly recommend and hope to someday return.
This home is a beautiful blend of adobe and wood. It's in a quiet area with no traffic and a great view when sitting outdoors and we were lucky enough for a full moon. It is centrally located for day trips to many areas. I don't cook on vacation but--wow--what a kitchen if you do. Communication was great and check-in check-out were both quick and easy.
The property is a bit away from town and the location worked well for the hiking exploration and daytrips we made based from the rental. The house is very interesting and has a cool adobe vibe. The view east of the house is a small farm that adds nice ambience.
We absolutely can’t say enough nice things about this place and Greg! Check in was simple, the house is beautiful inside and so comfortable. The view off the veranda is stunning. Watched the sunrise, a full rainbow appear and the stars night. It was centrally located for our hiking in Taos, exploring Taos Pueblo and the Puye Pueblos in Española and Santa Fe/Albuquerque. Highly recommend!! Thanks so much for the hospitality!!
The house was spacious and comfortable, with a view of the mountains and the Ohkay Owingeh pueblo. A good home base to visit Santa Fe and many historic sites.
Being close to Taos, Santa Fe and Abiquiu were pluses. The area is very quiet and peaceful: the house well appointed.
