Oasis in Nambe'

Jist outside of Sant Fe is this charming property; just over 2 acres with a vineyard behind. Quiet, serene solitude under clear NM skies. Property is beautiful. Very clean and well kept with all the amenities one needs. Perfect kitchen for a home cooked meal after a long day of snow skiing. Very large back patio with a large firepit and ample wood to burn. Kids loved the swinging chair and roku tv for every taste in viewership. Large bathroom with walk in shower. Original hardwood floors and overhead beams finish this charming cottage. Loved our stay here; owners very friendly and quick with response to any questions/concerns. Would definitely stay again. Loved everything about our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Bob (Robert) Johnson

Host profile image
We have worked very hard since moving to NM in 2016 to create a casita collection that consistently earns top scores and glowing reviews from our clientele. The result has been a highly rated & reviewed collection of Casita rentals for our clients to enjoy during their valuable time away from home.

We now offer only longer-term durations of 30nt minimums.

Why they chose this property

A very unique property that offers a variety of different Casitas/Homes in a tranquil vineyard setting. Sunrises & sunsets meet nearby mountain-ranges every day! We are also half the distance to Los Alamos as from Santa Fe.

What makes this property unique

Well, it's the Vineyard! Help yourself to the fruit from 12+ orchard trees. Our rural location provides space, views & tranquility not found in high-density city locals.
