About this property

New and Modern; Historic District home with Ski Mtn Views, A/C, walk to Plaza

Casa Miguel is a modern custom built home located in the desirable Historic Eastside of Santa Fe. The house sits on a hill providing some of the very best views that Santa Fe has to offer of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Sun and Moon Mountains and off to the west for ultimate sunsets. It is less than a 10-minute walk to the Plaza and a ¼ mile to the famed Arts & Crafts of Canyon Road. The house has AC if it's hot and plenty of fresh air with large opening doors, and overhead ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom.

Casa Miguel is filled with custom made furniture (built by the owner) and displays original oil paintings on its diamond finished plaster walls that exceed 11’ in height. This beautifully appointed one private bedroom, one luxury bath home is 1200 square feet with excellent natural light throughout the day. The floor plan is an open concept allowing for a gracious flow and easy living. The kitchen is a cook’s delight with high-end appliances, thoughtfully designed cabinetry, and granite countertops throughout.

From the over-sized French doors, you can step out onto the charming brick patio. There is a rose garden and the yard is enclosed by lilac bushes that surround the perimeter. This is a lovely spot to watch the sunrise or set, or simply take in the clean mountain air and views.

The owners, Michael Schriber and Christina Alfieri live next door and can be as helpful as you like in suggesting day trips and things to see and do in Santa Fe. They know the area exceptionally well, have a great love for the outdoors, especially mountain biking, and also own and operate a boutique travel business sending guests to Africa. With this combined knowledge and expertise Mike and Christina can add an unparalleled personal touch to your stay.

We invite you to come and visit Santa Fe, the only city in the world where there are more than 200 world-class art galleries located within two square miles, more than a dozen museums (ranked 3rd in the nation), a dynamic performing arts scene and award-winning cuisine, almost all within walking distance from Casa Miguel. Located at the base of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains beneath brilliant blue skies, Santa Fe is a year-round destination.

• Markets – Folk Art Market, Indian Market and Spanish Market (July/August)
• Legendary history & culture
• Outdoor sports – skiing, biking, hiking
• World-renowned cuisine
• Pristine nature
• Rejuvenation & relaxation

Santa Fe in May

This property is ideal for two adults. It is spacious, clean, and has all the amenities needed for a lengthy stay. The only downside for us - and it was minor, is that it is on a dirt road which makes walking to town or Canyon Road in nicer shoes and clothes a bit inconvenient. We had a car and used it often. Otherwise, everything was great. We would come again.

Great Explorations

Casa Miguel is a great location to explore the art of Georgia O’Keefe. Highlights included day trips to Ghost Ranch to see the landscapes that inspired her painting & a visit to her modest Abiquiu winter home (reservations a must for these guided excursions). Christina has beautifully appointed the single-level property that lies along a well-graded gravel/dirt road. We appreciated the quiet safe neighborhood, even heard coyote yips in the early morning!

Amazing Santa Fe rental

This property was so perfect for an anniversary weekend! It was immaculate and there was everything we needed! Loved the location so we could walk into town (about .8mile) and the views were great. I would rent this unit again and again! Thank you Christina! My only constructive feedback would be- would love to know exactly how to get in unit once we arrived, saving us time going to the owner’s home and if there was coffee available, would have made it even better. But…..zero complaints here! Can’t wait to return!

Scenic oasis a short walk from Plaza

What a beautiful property! Normally we stay in town but this place has likely become a go-to for us on next visits. It is a short walk into the Plaza so you get the best of both worlds. Views, serenity, and yet proximity to all that Santa Fe has to offer. Comfortable too--especially the bed. Made it hard to get up.

Perfect casita, perfect location

This was our second stay at this perfect casita rental, which says a lot about our enthusiasm. It’s a great little casita, beautifully furnished and in a great neighborhood that combines old style Santa Fe ambience and character that is also within easy walking reach of downtown. Yet you feel like you’re in a little pueblo. The owners are wonderful. Don’t pass this one up; it’s special and I know of what I speak.

Hidden gem

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is updated and comfortably furnished. You can’t beat the location. It is close to the plaza and Canyon Road. The patio is lovely with a rose garden and we enjoyed our coffee in the morning and wine in the evening! The bed was comfortable with crisp linens and good pillows. The house was immaculate! We texted Christina when we arrived and she responded immediately. It was a perfect stay. We will definitely rent this house again!

What a gem!

We have to say that the online photos do not really reflect the layout and how nicely furnished this property is! It is a perfect little apartment designed for a couple to stay in with all the comforts: a king-sized (comfortable) bed, a walk-in closet, ceiling fans, a private patio ( a adjacent to a quiet dead-end road) with portable fire place and grill, thoughtfully and well-supplied kitchen and full laundry. We loved the aesthetic of the furniture and linens and the design of the modern bathroom and rugs on the polished concrete floor. The art is tastefully chosen and hung. We have stayed in many places and can accept a wide range of surroundings but this one was a true pleasure. We also enjoyed walking all over he downtown area and Canyon Rd. We only used the car for day trips to Taos and surroundings. We are loath to praise this place too much as we'd like to be able to return, lol!

We had a lovely time here. The space was perfect for our stay. We can't really say enough about it: the furniture and bed were very comfortable; there was plenty of space to hang out, play games, dine; the view of the mountains was a pleasure. The kitchen was very well stocked--everything was in excellent shape, and we needed nothing. (In fact, we bought a tea ball, thinking there probably wasn't one, then found there were two!) It was a short, easy drive to anywhere in downtown. The hosts were very helpful and responsive, and checking in and out was simple.

Our Stay at Historic Eastside

The house was beautiful with a lovely open-plan layout perfect for two people. We especially enjoyed spending time on the patio. Our only qualm was that the walk to town was much longer than the advertised 7 minutes, and it was down a rutted dirt path, which alone took 7 minutes, after which the remainder of the walk to the Plaza took 15-20 minutes.
