PLEASE NOTE:
1. The water for our home comes from an underground well and can be unpredictable depending on precipitation levels and time of year. To remediate we have; two Triple Ozone systems, three stage (manganese, iron and hydrogen sulfide) iSpring filtration system and separate charcoal filter at the well. In addition, we have a Reverse Osmosis system in both kitchens for purified drinking water.   We monitor the well on a continual basis as it is shared with our neighbor.  The water will always have some degree of underlying scent of sulfur; although it is perfectly safe.  This comes with the territory of being remote on 5 acres in the mountains.  If you are sensitive to well water and require city water, please stay in the city.

2. All-wheel drive is always recommended especially during winter months, in case of snow. You will drive up 800 ft of unpaved road to reach our private gravel road to our home. Convenient parking is available in front of the stonework on either entrance. Complimentary Level 2 -EV charger NEMA 10-30 and Tesla adapter available in the carport for your charging convenience.

House in the Woods

Charming home located a little distance from the city was perfect for our family. The two separate units that make up the accommodations were clean and welcoming, with all the amenities that you could need. Would stay here again

Casa de Vaca stay

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. We really enjoyed the fact that they are two different buildings, giving some extra privacy to the group. The location is exceptional and all the services were spot on. I also loved the fact that it is a pet friendly property and that the owner is very considerate and nice about it! Communicating with the host was super easy and cordial. I recommend it 100%.

This property is lovely. The night sky is amazing and the home is clean, cozy and inviting. It felt like we were in a beautiful remote location but close enough to Santa Fe to enjoy the city and attend the Santa Fe Opera. 100% recommend.

Great place!

We had a fantastic time! The place is beautiful and spacious and very easy to use. The outdoor space was phenomenal, I wish we’d had more time to use it. I saw in some other reviews that the drive up was a little sketchy for low profile cars and it definitely was. But it’s manageable once you figure it out. We’d definitely come back here, it was a wonderful stay!

What a great property!

We had a group of 6 stay here and had a fabulous time. The place was very clean and very well stocked. We had the opportunity to meet Diana and Cory and their son. They cared very much about us having a great experience. The property is one of a kind, great patios, sunroom and kitchen. It’s about 20 minutes outside of Santa Fe which was perfect for us. We loved seeing the Milky Way above us and pretty sunrises in the morning. I highly recommend this property.

Out of town a ways

House was great. A little inconvenient to get between the one house with 2 bedrooms and the other house with the loft by having to go outside. Overall i wiuld stay there again but make sure that if you come in the winter that the road to the house gets covered in snow and is hard to get up without a 4x4 vehicle.

Fabulous, spacious and lovely!

We had a group of seven of us (family) to stay at this lovely home close to Santa Fe. It was just what we expected with extra living room, cozy bedrooms and updated bathrooms. We never felt crowded. The owner was in constant communication with us, plus had a helpful book of ideas at the home. We felt close to the city of Santa Fe, yet we could enjoy a quiet retreat in the hills with spectacular views. We could even see the stars at night. I would highly recommend!!! We would definitely come back.

Santa Fe Oasis

This property was so beautiful & unique. High enough in the mountains to enjoy views & wildlife but close enough to town to enjoy everything else Santa Fe has to offer. We rented both sides so space was plentiful for 6 people. House was very clean and pet friendly. The kitchens were fully stocked. One of the bedrooms in the two bedroom unit has a curtain as entry door. Not an issue for us but could be if you are traveling with couples. Property owner was very welcoming and readily available for any questions. We would definitely return to stay again.

Santa Fe Gem

My wife and I spent the weekend in Santa Fe and absolutely enjoyed our time. This was our first visit and certainly won’t be our last. We wanted to have a nice quiet get away from the hustle and bustle of town and Casa de la Vaca was the perfect spot. It had recently snowed so the mountains looked beautiful. The house couldn’t have been more cozy, warm and perfect for star gazing. We flew in to Albuquerque and Diana provided us with wonderful directions, great recommendations for dinner and local breakfast Casa Fina nearby was a hit with my wife! We did not plan to ski, but as luck would have it Santa Fe had a great snowfall and Cory the owner checked in on us and took us up to ski Santa Fe. Apparently he loves to ski and was a gracious host. Thank you Diana and Cory, we will definitely be back again.

About the host

Hosted by Diana Olivar

Host profile image
Cory and I met in Chicago. We would visit the southwest where I was born and raised and he would often ask, “Why don’t we live here”? Granted we were usually escaping the Chicago winter and enjoying 60-degree weather. We eventually moved back to my hometown of El Paso, Texas for family reasons where we have lived for the past 10 years. Cory being an adrenaline junkie loves all things outdoors. Although, he loves the El Paso desert and the 330+ days of sunshine (so he can downhill mountain bike and ride motorcycles), he also craves the winter slopes. Our 11-year-old son is doing a great job of keeping up with Cory on the black diamonds. We found the perfect compromise when we landed on Casa de la Vaca in Santa Fe! A beautiful, serene mountain get away nestled in the foothills of magical Canoncito. It’s a short drive for us and we love to stop along the way in Albuquerque. It is so kid friendly that we do trips to the museums, Explora, zoo, Mama’s minerals and our favorite Sawmill Market. In the summer, we can escape the heat in EP and with so much to do in Santa Fe we have a great place to visit all year round. We couldn’t be more excited to enjoy our second home and share it with family & friends and now thanks to platforms like VRBO with guests when we are not in town. A bit of a win, win. We love to travel and enjoy good cuisine, so Santa Fe really fits the bill. There are so many great restaurants, hiking trails, museums, spas, festivals, the opera, skiing, farmer’s markets, the second largest art market in the country, nearby Taos and Chimayo and the list goes on and on. It really is a cosmopolitan gem in the high desert. The VRBO vacation rental opportunity has allowed us to do what we love; meet new people, travel, and share our stories. We hope we get to meet you and hear your story. Best, Diana and Cory
