About this property

Gorgeous on Garcia: Lux Adobe. Walking Distance to Plaza and Canyon Rd. Hot Tub!

Experience this authentic adobe home on spectacular Garcia Street in the Historic East side Santa Fe neighborhood. The home is a sophisticated blend of contemporary and traditional Santa Fe. Relish the beautiful hardwood floors, thick adobe walls, and viga ceilings. Enjoy the exquisite New Mexico art (both Spanish and Pueblo style) as well as traditional and contemporary furnishings. Enjoy both the Kiva fireplace and the always ready hot tub too! Dogs welcome!

The home is situated in a private compound in the Historic East Side of Santa Fe and while it is close to Canyon Road, the Capital, and the Plaza (about a mile) there is abundant open space. You can even hear the church bells from the St. Francis Cathedral. You (and your dog) will relax in the completely enclosed patio and garden. Ski Santa Fe is only 16 miles away!

After a day of skiing or hiking you'll love to take in the starry sky while you soak in the large, always ready hot tub!

Refrigerated air-conditioning, state-of-the-art HD flat-screen television, Apple TV, Sonos sound and wireless internet provide every modern convenience.

The large living room features a welcoming Kiva fireplace. The plush red leather sofa turns into a Temper-pedic queen bed ideal for two. You'll enjoy the rooms light and serenity while you sit by the fire.

The kitchen is well-equipped with Elba gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Keurig and Cuisinart coffee-makers, granite counters, dishwasher, microwave, and all the accoutrements to handle at-home gourmet cooking. Outside access the Weber gas grill.

The separate dining room is casually appointed, with a beautiful round dining table that seats four or can expand into a larger buffet. You may also enjoy dining in the rear portal with it’s large and comfortable patio table and chairs.

The large primary bedroom features a king bed, large walk-in closet, and a desk for those of you who are working and vacationing.

The en-suite primary bathroom of glass, stone, and marble, has walk-in glass shower and opens to the private patio with the hot tub.

The guest bedroom has two extra-long twin beds that can be transformed into a king bed for couples - just let me know how you want it. The second bath also offers a tub/shower combo.

Near both bedrooms is a laundry room with energy-efficient washer and dryer.

A perfect home to enjoy the Historic Eastside and old Santa Fe!

Great stay at Gorgeous on Garcia!

My husband and our two college age kiddos enjoyed 6 nights at Gorgeous on Garcia! The name is accurate. Such a wonderful, cozy place that we enjoyed so much. Comfy beds and linens, fully stocked kitchen, darling living room with a huge tv to enjoy in the evenings. The hot tub was such a great bonus. Missing it already! The host, Fran, was very helpful and communicative. She left guidebooks with instructions for her home and also one with tons of suggestions for things to do in Santa Fe and the area. We loved our stay and will definitely come back to this wonderful city and this beautiful home. Thanks, Fran!!

Great time on Garcia

We stayed at Fran’s property to celebrate my father’s 80th as well as to celebrate Christmas. Property is very functional, clean, and comfortable. My entire family was happy in the property. We loved the hot tub too! Location is amazing - literally 5 min drive from anything in Santa Fe, and a 0.25 mile walk to Downtown Subscription and was a primo spot for the Ferilito Walk - such a festive experience. We would definitely stay here again. Fran was easy to work with and gave great suggestions. Thanks so much!

What a gem in Santa Fe

Perfect house for our Santa Fe getaway. The house itself was charming, very clean, extremely well appointed (love all the art) and what you want in a Santa Fe experience. We enjoyed the spa and movies at night and appreciated the quiet neighborhood. Fran is an amazing host and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay again when we are back in town.

Lovely art filled home in a near ideal location

Our recent stay was an absolute joy from start to finish. Tucked away in the quiet corner very near the heart of Santa Fe, this house was a joy. We were immediately taken with the unique character of the adobe-style home. The architecture beautifully reflected the traditional Southwestern aesthetic, while modern amenities seamlessly complemented the historic ambiance inside. The living spaces were tastefully decorated with artwork and furnishings that enhanced the overall atmosphere of warmth and authenticity. The layout of the home, ideal for a couple or small group, provided ample space to relax and unwind. The well-appointed kitchen was a joy to cook in, equipped with everything we needed. The cozy living room was perfect for lounging after a day of exploring Santa Fe's rich cultural offerings. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional hospitality extended by our host. From the moment we booked, they were attentive to our needs and provided invaluable recommendations for local attractions, dining, and activities. Their genuine enthusiasm for sharing Santa Fe's best with us enhanced our experience and made us feel like welcomed guests in their home. I'll be back!

Ideal, quiet location

We stayed a week in Fran's home on Garcia St and after a few days it felt like we'd moved to Santa Fe. It's such a pretty and quiet neighborhood, yet with easy walking access to Canyon Road, or a longer but pleasant walk to the Plaza area. Highly recommend.

November 2023 Stay at Gorgeous on Garcia

The adobe home on Garcia in the historic eastside of Santa Fe exceeded our expectations. Tucked away among other homes off Garcia Road, the location was private and very quiet. We were able to walk to Canyon Road through a neighborhood gate, arriving at Alameda and Canyon in under 10 minutes. The home is a large two bedroom that could easily accommodate 4 to 6 adults with two bathrooms, ample kitchen, and convenient utility closet for washer/dryer. The kiva fireplace and large supply of firewood (piñon and oak) made for a wonderfully cozy fire every night. There is also a large backyard covered patio with table and barbeque grill. The hot tub off the primary suite bathroom was very clean, with high power jets and consistent temperature. The artwork in the home is gallery-quality and representative of the Santa Fe and northern New Mexico styles and cultures. The VRBO owner, Frances, was extremely helpful and responsive in our communications. She made the extra effort to suggest activities and restaurants as well as clearly delineate her expectations for guests. There were detailed booklets describing checkin and checkout procedures, guidelines, and highlights of things to do in the region. We plan to stay here again in the future.

Gorgeous on Garcia is Lovely!

We booked with Fran for a friend’s birthday celebration, and our two West Highland White Terriers were welcomed along with all their people. Before we even arrived Fran shared her online guest book which is full of very helpful recommendations from dining to shopping to adventures. The check-in process was seamless, and Fran was proactive in communicating, but left us to enjoy her place and all Santa Fe has to offer. The neighborhood is tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance of Canyon Road. We truly enjoyed our stay! Thank you.

Authentic Santa Fe Southwest Experience

This home was spacious for a two bedroom and exuded an authentic southwest vibe. It was tastefully decorated with a very nice kitchen and included all of the necessary essentials. Even included a guitar! Beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was great for relaxation after a long day of exploring. Nice covered patio was great for outdoor breakfasts. Walking distance to the galleries on Canyon. Would definitely stay here again!

Lots to love on Garcia

This may be a 1937 adobe on an historic street, but it's been renovated so extensively that it felt like spending a week in a new home. The master bedroom is huge, with a large walk-in closet, and the generous master bath features a shower with lots of hot water and terrific water pressure. Better yet, a private door from the master bath leads to a small courtyard with a hot tub. We particularly enjoyed taking our meals in the comfortable, separate " morning room" off the kitchen. The location is excellent, about a 5-minute drive to Museum Hill and a 10-minute stroll to Canyon Road, but at a full mile, it's more of a walk/hike into town than a stroll. If you're going in for dinner, you'll probably want to take your car. All in all, we had a great week in "Gorgeous on Garcia" and appreciated all of the helpful recommendations provided by Fran, the owner. If you're looking for a comfortable, modern home in a great location that embodies all of the unique charm of Santa Fe, you've found it here.

About the host

Hosted by Fran

Host profile image
I grew up in Santa Fe and attended the nearby 'Garcia St. Club' as a young girl. I've always loved this part of Santa Fe and so pleased to own this authentic, yet modern, adobe. I left New Mexico to attend Stanford University in California and have lived in the Bay Area since, now residing in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco.

Professionally, I'm a veteran of several Internet start-ups most notably Match.com and TrustArc (privacy solutions), and now BabyQuip, baby equipment rental service for traveling families.

In San Francisco, I often rent my home and my guests invariably remark on its comfort, style and art. I hope you will will feel the same at my homes on Garcia St.

Why they chose this property

To me, Garcia St. is quintessentially Santa Fe. Beautiful homes and 'compounds' adorn both sides of the long boulevard as it climbs toward the Santa Fe foothills. My property is nestled in a historic compound with an exceptional setting and location.

The home is quiet, warm and comfortable with all the authentic Santa Fe features you'd want: Viga ceilings, Kiva fireplace, hardwood floors and thick adobe walls.

This home also offers air conditioning, updated gourmet kitchen and bathrooms, large outside portal in back and private portal and hot tub off the Master bedroom. The home is expertly decorated and includes all the conveniences such as wireless Internet, HD TVs, and Sonos sound. Check out the incredible New Mexico art.

What makes this property unique

When you enter the quiet lane and you will immediately feel the serenity of the natural peace and quiet and take in the fresh mountain air.

On foot (and through the secret shortcut) you can easily explore the old adobe filled neighborhoods, jaunt over to Museum Hill, take an art amble on Canyon Road, and go to the historic Plaza - less than a mile - for the many restaurants and entertainment options.

During the winter, easy access up to the Santa Fe ski area (16 miles).
