Santa Fe captures hearts and souls as a favorite destination thanks to its eclectic nature and its mass appeal. "Santa Fe has something to offer for everyone, great food, culture, outdoor activities including skiing and world class hiking... architecture is wonderful”. The city’s top-notch arts scene has long been a magnet for both creators and culture mavens, the latter drawn to the galleries along Canyon Road and the Railyard District. Downtown, visitors will find the engrossing New Mexico Museum of Art as well as the eponymous museum of renowned painter Georgia O’Keeffe, who spent her final years in Santa Fe.
Enjoy the raw but yet sophisticated charm Santa Fe has to offer then retreat to Casa de Ochoa at El Dorado to relax and get ready for the next adventure. We are looking forward to sharing the beauty and peacefulness of our place with anyone who needs a quiet place to relax and recharge!

holiday getaway with family

We were five adults. The home was perfect for our needs (a quiet place to return to after visiting friends at Tesuque Pueblo, Ohkay Owingeh, Taos, and Santa Fe). We cooked a lot and were happy for a well-stocked supply of pots, pans, and spices.

Perfect Getaway

Beautiful Adobe had everything we needed. Perfect for 2 couples, or a family. Great location outside of Santa Fe. Quiet, peaceful place to return to after a full day of activities. Gloria and Dean were great hosts, provided good ideas for our visit and were very responsive. We would choose this VRBO again!

Lovely house outside Santa Fe

We had a great time at Gloria and Dean’s property. We didn’t want to stay in a cramped hotel in downtown Santa Fe, wanted plenty indoor and outdoor space. The multiple patios were nice to have coffee in the morning and watch the sunset in the evening. The house was spacious and had all the normal conveniences needed for a long weekend stay. Would definitely stay there again.

This property was way better than the photos and we were pleasantly surprised! The home was spotless, had a nice open layout, beautiful outdoor space and ample linens. Eldorado is a little out of town but there was plenty of kitchen amenities and we had everything we needed.

Fantastic Home Base for our Santa Fe Visit!!!

Gloria and Dean were quick responsive hosts and their beautiful home provides everything you might need for your stay. We loved having coffee on the many patio options in the morning! There was a grocery store very close by and several restaurants in the general area. I highly recommend Casa de Ochoa and would love to stay again in the future if the opportunity presents itself. Thank you Gloria & Dean for opening up your home!

Great first stay in Santa Fe!

We have stayed in many VRBO homes across the country. We’ve had some really good ones. This by far has been the best stay. The home was spotless, in a great location and well stocked with items for our convenience. The area of Eldorado could not have been better. Very quiet and easy to get around. Close to downtown but just far enough away! Could see all the stars and the Pink Moon! Views are amazing. We’re hooked and can’t wait to come back!

3 Generations for Spring Break

3 Generations enjoyed our stay for Spring Break even though we couldn't ski, because there were no skis any where in Santa Fe to be rented by the time we tried. The home was very comfortable and with a large living room, a bright dining area with lovely views. The outdoor patios were comfortable, private, and relaxing. It was a great location for hiking and for star gazing. I hope it is available the next time I come to Santa Fe with a group.

5 star stay

We have visited Santa Fe a few times and wanted to stay outside of the hustle and bustle of the plaza. This place was perfect for that. Very quiet, with excellent walking paths and very convenient for all of our needs (grocery store close by). I can't say enough about how responsive the hosts were. The couple of questions we had were answered quickly. 5 star all the way.

Great stay!

The home is located in the El Dorado area of Santa Fe, which is about a 15 to 20 min drive into Santa Fe. It is a beautiful home, very clean, and had all the ammenities needed for a wonderful stay. There are three patio doors to step outside from, and all had great seating areas. A spatious kitchen and dining area, and the living room was very cozy! The tv was slightly difficult to use, but once we figured it out, it was okay. We weren't there to watch tv anyways! The beds were comfortable. Great views when the weather cooperated! We enjoyed our stay a lot and hope to return soon! Thank you for sharing your house with us!
