Note: Once reserved, Owner will directly email Guest full details for your stay. You will receive a text from 505.989.1088 to notify you to check your email.

Casita Ristra is a freestanding house artfully created to give one couple or single that perfect luxury downtown Santa Fe living experience. Read my reviews, please, as even my great photos don't quite show how exceptional - inviting and peaceful - the feeling in the casita truly is! You will love the sense of how much care has been put into making this your favorite place to retreat, while being minutes from everything!

Quiet and hidden behind a unique locked double gate, Casita Ristra is only three short blocks from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, two blocks from the Georgia O’Keeffe museum and one from the Santa Fe Convention Center. The Guadalupe Railyard District is also only a few blocks away and a pleasant walk to famous Canyon Road along the Alameda River Walk.

Sunny with high ceilings, hand-carved beams in every room, numerous skylights and historic-style divided-light windows. Colorful Southwest rugs and color scheme warm and brighten the spirit. Feel at home in every way!

You have a private coyote-fenced flagstone patio in the front courtyard perfect for coffee or charcoal-grill barbecue at the umbrella table seating 4 (for your old or new friends!) and a covered pergola patio off the master so you can relax in the Summer shade or watch the snowfall in Winter.

King bed, large airy bedroom, fine linens, soft pillows, ironed pillowcase, a top-quality mattress, 32" Smart HD flatscreen TV and Preferred Cable. The living room also has an extra-large Smart HD flatscreen TV and Preferred Cable and a real wood burning traditional kiva fireplace (with complimentary first-fire fragrant pinon firewood set-up).

The kitchen is fully and thoughtfully equipped with added conveniences, a gas stove, double-door stainless refrigerator (filtered water and ice), microwave, and handsome tableware.

The bathroom has oodles of cabinet storage and a terrific custom-tiled shower (with grab bar) and washer/dryer for your use.

Other amenities include "real" refrigerated central air-conditioning and forced air heating system, free super-high-speed wireless internet, great closet space with lots of hangers, full-length mirror, luggage racks and extra blankets, overhead fans, extra table fan, humidifier, yoga mat.

We clean the casita ourselves, so it is CLEAN (read: pristine) and everything works!

Ask about combining this casita with others nearby for your friends or relatives. Or for my assistance in your real estate interests - I am a New Mexico licensed Santa Fe Realtor, devoted to my clients!

Santa Fe Home Away from Home

After having to move away from Santa Fe last year, we needed a week away from our Denver home during a kitchen remodel. This casita was beyond our expectations. The location is perfect if you want to be near the plaza, the furnishings were tasteful, the accommodation spotless and we really enjoyed using both patios. We're already discussing our next trip so we can book it again.

Victoria was super-responsive, even checking in when a storm came through town during our stay. Useful information was shared well in advance & check-in was seamless. The casita is large! In addition to a roomy living room & well-stocked kitchen, there is plenty of space to maneuver around the plush king size bed. The shower is large and lovely; Victoria has added many thoughtful touches. The L-shaped exterior wraps around two sides of the casita, all enclosed behind a stunning aspen fence. While the home is near the Plaza, the feeling is that of a quiet, historic neighborhood. We spent a very comfortable week at Victoria’s casita and would highly recommend it to you.

The parking place is off the street & so convenient to the entrance.

From one end of the L-shaped exterior is a patio table, umbrella and chairs. The other end, around the corner, features comfortable, shaded seating. Our dog had a good time too.

Lovely rental - Great location

The casita is set back off the street and surrounded by attractive privacy fencing. Quiet ! The decor is relaxed Southwestern, comfortable and clean. The owner has given thought to the needs of her clients, and the casita is VERY well stocked from the kitchen to the bath. The location is close to the plaza and navigation to the outskirts of Santa Fe (like Hyde Park) is simple. Highly recommend

Santa Fe, what could be better?

First, the property is sleek and clean, yet beautiful. We enjoyed a 10 day stay. It was a quite location, and not tons of bright lights, which is just what we wanted, and yet .3 miles to Rail Yard, and .3 to Plaza, so we rarely drove anywhere.... love to walk. The bed was excellent, well stocked. Very much a Class A property.

Casita Ristra Getaway

Opening the door on arrival revealed a casita beyond our expectations which is such a wonderful way to kickoff a vacation. The high ceilings make the rooms feel open and airy. Care has obviously been taken with the decor and supplies. Lovely and so comfortable and well-appointed. The sofa and king-size bed were incredibly comfortable. We slept so well there. The patio is very private and wraps around the casita. We love the neighborhood! So close to the plaza and a quick drive for groceries. Victoria is a wonderful host, welcoming and informative but not intrusive at in any way. Wonderful!

Fantastic Stay in Santa Fe

I wish all VRBOs were as classy as this one! Everything about it was top-notch. Victoria is an excellent host and communicator and she takes great care in ensuring the casita is well-maintained and everything is ready for her guests. The location was minutes away (walking) from the Santa Fe Plaza, restaurants, shops, entertainment, etc. We walked almost everywhere except for our visits to Museum Hill, the Botanical Garden, and Taos. The local restaurants are amazing!! We loved coming back to the restful, beautiful casita every evening. Parking was right outside the gate, the beds and couches were very comfortable, and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. It's a wonderful place to stay and we will definitely be back!

Perfect Santa Fe Getaway

It's always a little overwhelming trying to find a nice place to stay while visiting, especially given all the choices we had in Santa Fe this time. Grateful that there were so many choices but even more grateful that we chose Victoria's property, Casita Ristra. She was a pleasure to speak with and provided a great list of restaurants in both Santa Fe and Albuquerque. The casita was extremely clean, comfortable, and well thought out - everything we needed for our stay was iincluded - including her "secret" guest coffee. The location was perfect. It's just minutes away from The Plaza, railyards, coffee shops, restaurants, and local sights. We walked everywhere, leaving the car at the casita, except for our trips to the Ski and Hiking areas that were a very short and beautiful drive away. The neighborhood is unbelievably quiet and safe and it was indeed a pleasure to go "home" at the end of every day. One thing for sure, we no longer have to worry about finding a place to stay in Santa Fe...this is the one for us! Thank you, Victoria!

We did not do the winery tour but I gave it 5* because I didn't want to hurt the rating. This was the nicest vrbo we have ever had and will stay there again if we return. Victoria excells in every aspect as a host. Having a laundry and fireplace was definitely a plus. It was so centrally located to everything we wanted to see and perfect for walkers.

We could go on and on about how much we enjoyed Casita Ristra, our home away from home for five nights. The central, yet quiet, location couldn't have been better with so many restaurants, sites, park areas, and shopping within walking distance. Inside, the home is beautifully furnished, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. The two private patio areas were perfect for enjoying the cool mornings and afternoon sun. We appreciated Victoria's detailed communications before and during our arrival, and her recommendations to activities in the area. Dale Ball Trail, the International Art Museum, the New Mexico History Museum, and the Palace of Governors were spot on to our interests. And, if you're bringing a dog, the 158-acre Frank Ortiz Dog Park is amazing with its vistas and ability to wear out Fido for the day. When we return to Santa Fe, Casita Ristra will be our first choice.

About the host

Hosted by Victoria Rogers

I truly enjoy sharing this beautiful casita and the downtown Santa Fe lifestyle with the many wonderful new and return guests who choose Casita Ristra. I’m a retired RN and massage therapist of more than 20 years, museum-collected photographer and conscientious very active NM Real Estate Broker in Santa Fe and Albuquerque! Bringing care and quality to every guest's experience is my goal. I was enchanted by New Mexico in 1979 and since then, I've had an artist's romance with the landscape and the culture. My collaborative book "Santa Fe's Historic McKenzie Neighborhood" was published with history and original artwork of the architecture of the area where the casita is located! I offer private showings of my museum-collected fine art portfolio at the casita. You are invited to receive special tips on what Santa Fe has to offer (from a local), for short-term or longterm visits or life change (happy to show you around and give you insight into Santa Fe's real estate market). I'm friendly and available as needed, but you have your complete privacy during your stay at your home-away-from-home.

Why they chose this property

Having created and managed a number of my own vacation rentals in this wonderful historic neighborhood since 2007, I am delighted to be giving all my attention now to the premium comfortable and ideally located Casita Ristra to bring the best of all experiences to visitors to Santa Fe.

What makes this property unique

- FANTASTIC LOCATION! 3 blocks to the Plaza, 2 blocks to O'Keeffe Museum, restaurants and also equidistant to the Guadalupe Railyard District, plus a pleasant stroll to famed Canyon Road galleries. Great starting place for walking to day and evening events.
- Excellent parking (1 dedicated space off-street space right out front) set back from the street
- Complete privacy in lovely landscaped high-fenced ("coyote" fencing) fully enclosed wrap-around patio with comfortable outdoor furnishings
- Well-appointed kitchen
- Living room and Bedroom Smart HD TVs
- Pets (up to 2 well-behaved and supervised dogs) welcome with use of patio only for relaxation
