About this property

Santa Fe's Hidden Gem - Secluded Pueblo w/ Stunning Views

Welcome to Fenix Azul, your next romantic getaway, friends retreat, or family adventure in the heart of the high desert. Soak up the private views from every window and enjoy BBQing from the deck while watching the sunset. Imagine yourself relaxing and drinking your favorite beverage after a fun day of shopping Canyon Road or hiking the spectacular trails around Santa Fe. This charming 1700 sq.ft home is tastefully designed to give you a true Santa Fe experience with old school brick floors, two inviting kiva fireplaces (candles only) and traditional viga ceilings. Come and enjoy numerous furnishings collected from nearby Santa Fe that deliver a New Mexico vibe. Newly landscaped yard and heating and cooling, freshly renovated kitchen and bathroom all make this property a pleasurable vacation experience.
This pueblo style home has two living areas, each with their own kiva fireplace (candle light only). There's two master bedrooms (very firm queen/medium firm king) that share a bathroom and each have a private patio. An additional hallway bathroom is next to the third bedroom (soft queen). There's also two single airbeds available. The home sits on over an acre of land with large juniper trees protecting your privacy and offering a sanctuary for wildlife. There's plenty of hiking/running trails nearby as well as bike paths that travel throughout the community. The Rails To Trails runs right through Eldorado, going from the cute little town of Lamy all the way to Santa Fe. Galisteo Basin Preserve offers great hiking and is only a short drive. It's approximately a 25 minute drive to Santa Fe Plaza and 54 minutes to Ski Santa Fe.
The kitchen is fully stocked with the necessary tools to cook your favorite meal or perhaps try a local recipe from one of our cookbooks. The renovated kitchen (2020) has all new stainless steel appliances and custom cabinets.
The whole house is yours except the detached garage. There's a large circle driveway so there's parking available up to four vehicles. A washer and dryer is available free for guests that reserve five days or more or a $20 extra charge can be added if you are staying less than five days and want to use the laundry room. This can be done during the reservation process or added on to your credit card after arrival.

Quiet and beautiful

We loved the quiet neighborhood and the view of the mountains. Without street lights at night it felt like we were out in the country. It was still close enough for us to go into Santa Fe several times and we enjoyed hiking close by.

Beautiful moonrises, sunsets and starry skies

This was our second stay at Fenix Azul, and a longer rental of around 3 weeks. The house is immaculately clean and well appointed with plenty of well-selected kitchen supplies for cooking. It's a peaceful ~20min drive to Santa Fe downtown; but there is a local grocery store nearby with all of our favorites. There are also some cute, well-rated restaurants nearby and a gas station. The house is situated between two distant mountain ranges and has a huge tryptic of picture windows in the living room. We ended up doing a lot in that room watching nature and clouds move by, all throughout the day. The beds are very comfortable with high quality linen. Heating and cooling units in each room. It definitely has a vacation feel and is spacious and comfortable enough for remote working. We also had the opportunity to connect with the owner and swap stories, and she is a delight. We look forward to connecting again.

Wonderful Retreat

The pueblo was situated in a nice, remote desert neighborhood with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. While it was convenient to Santa Fe, it was removed enough to provide a sense of peaceful remoteness. Try the pizza place at the entrance to the neighborhood.

Did not disappoint.

Property was completely as listed. Nestled in the back of a large community outside Santa Fe, this property allows you to unwind, view the stars and enjoy the quiet. The house was perfect for our 2 couples for dining, bathrooms and sleeping arrangements. Comfortable beds, games, outdoor seating and pretty views.

Great place near Santa Fe

We loved our stay at Fenix Azul! The home was beautiful with plenty of room for the 4 of us. Deck was great for coffee in the morning and dinner in the evening with a lovely view of the mountains. Did a lot of traveling around Santa Fe and up to Taos. This was a convenient location for all our daily trips. We highly recommend this place. Communication with the owner was simple and helpful.

Great House with Beautiful Touches

Our family of 5 from NYC had a great time staying in this beautiful and well located property in a community about 20 minutes outside of Santa Fe. There is a nearby grocery store and trails and everything that is wonderful about Santa Fe is only a short car ride away. The house is sunny and warm with comfortable rooms, walk-in closets and a nice outdoor space. The sunsets are amazing!

Very nice place, house rules are a little much

This was a greatplace to stay, comfortable beds, plenty of heat in January/February, great views. I would stay here again. There is a rule that you can't use washer/dryer unless you stay 5 nights. We were 8 people and couldn't do laundry, this was very inconvenient for us. If you spend $300+ a night to stay somewhere, I expect to have access to washer and dryer. So I don't come home to a ton of laundry.

About the host

Hosted by Renee Ferguson

My name is Renee and my husband is Rick. We were both born and raised in California and moved to New Mexico in the summer of 2019. We lost everything, including our home and two long term rentals in the Camp Fire that destroyed Paradise, Ca. November 8, 2018. We've found healing here in the Land of Enchantment.

Why they chose this property

Instead of replacing our long term rental with another one, we decided to venture into the short term rental business and Santa Fe was the perfect location due to it's beauty and rich cultural history. We looked in the city limits but found the rural Eldorado area to be such a beautiful and peaceful area for a vacation destination.

What makes this property unique

We love the flora and fauna of this high desert community. There are endless bike trails, including the Rails to Trails path that takes you from Lamy, through Eldorado and on to the city of Santa Fe. The Galisto Basin Preserve is a quick drive down the road and there are several excellent restaurants nearby with patio dining. I'm a snow skier and I love the close proximity to Ski Santa Fe. After a long day of playing in the snow or a hike in the aspens, it's so nice to come back to this cozy home. The howling of the coyotes, curious cottontail rabbits and occasional bobcat sightings are an added plus. However, the views surrounding this home are the main feature and the sunrises and sunsets are our favorites!
