Casa de las Piedras

Nestled at the base of the Ortiz Mountains, this rustic Pueblo-style 2BR, affectionately known as Casa de las Piedras, is one of a kind. The Southwestern abode is decorated with regional artwork, pottery, and folk art. Enjoy plenty of outdoor space to unwind and take in the surroundings. Kick back on the stone terrace and bask in gorgeous sunsets and mountain views, or enjoy an al fresco lunch in the gazebo. Hike nearby mountain trails and observe the desert wildlife, or take the quick 20-minute drive to the heart of Santa Fe. Please note that four-wheel drive vehicles are highly recommended to access this property during all seasons. LIVING AREA Stone floors, exposed vigas ceilings, and a decorative shepherd’s fireplace give the contemporary living area an authentic Southwestern feel. Enjoy views of the back terrace and the Ortiz Mountains beyond from the new full-size sofa bed or love seat. Or unwind and watch a movie on the large Roku TV. KITCHEN & DINING Beautiful wood cabinets and paneling line the fully equipped kitchen, which includes a gas stove, microwave, and dishwasher. You’ll also find all the dishes, cutlery, and cookware you need during your stay. Sit down to home-cooked meals at the wooden dining table for four. BED & BATH The spacious master bedroom boasts a plush queen bed and an office nook filled with books, while the cozy second bedroom offers a full-size bed and a TV with an antenna and Amazon Firestick. The quaint bath features dual sinks and a tub/shower combination. OUTDOOR AREAS Out front, a seating area for four is surrounded by a rock garden. Follow the path to a gazebo with a dining table for six and hanging lights for evening enjoyment. Just outside the main living area is a stone terrace with multiple chairs, a dining table, and wonderful views of the Ortiz Mountains.
