Gorgeous place!

I've stayed in many vacation homes all over the world and this one is at the top in terms of beauty, comfort and amenities. The place is just drop-dead gorgeous, with artisan touches everywhere, a beautiful interior design and just about everything (even little cold packs in the freezer) one might need. A true delight to live in for a few days.

Best house ever!

This home is a work of art! Around every rounded corner there is something else magical. The stone work, mosaics, collections of pots and pottery, just everything speaks to you! This is the best equipped VRBO rental we have ever used. And so clean! Thank you to our hosts who were always available if we needed them or had a question. I want to do a girlfriends trip here next year and have more spa time at Ten Thousand Waves!

Incredible home

We loved our stay in the Hobbit Home. The mosaics, woodworking, and artwork are unbelievable. The owners are very responsive, and the house is fully appointed, with great attention to detail. Super clean. Great location in a very quiet neighborhood. Can't wait to go back in the summer to enjoy the garden and patio. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay in Santa Fe with family and friends. The Hobbit House is wonderfully designed and appointed and in pristine condition. The location is central to the major highlights in Santa Fe. It was the perfect place for a memorable vacation. We would return in a heartbeat.

Fantastic!!!

I can't even begin to say how beautiful and exquisite the Hobbit House is! It's an 11 on a 10 scale. Besides the beauty of it's unique design, the house has everything you could possible need, including plush robes for everyone. It's located to all sorts of attractions and particularly close to Clafoutis, a French bakery/restaurant with delicious food. The downtown square is just a short drive or walk, if you want to take in the area on your way.Our family will absolutely begin staying here when we come back each year.

Fantastic property in Santa Fe for Art Lovers

We loved this place! It’s like staying in an art gallery. The home had extremely comfortable beds, beautiful appointed decorations and furniture, amazing art work throughout…the wall paintings and shower tile work were incredible! We walked all over Santa Fe from the house. It was an amazing place-highly recommend. And I’m picky!

Delightful, Indulgent Stay!

The Santa Fe Hobbit House is stunningly unique and comfortable. We had a good time finding new beautiful design details the whole time we were in the house. Beds and furniture were all inviting and luxurious. We didn't use the kitchen as often as we usually might because the neighborhood had such wonderful restaurants. Our hosts were gracious and responsive. The only thing additional thing we could ask for is a written description of the history and craftspeople who developed this beautiful property.

A Stunner

The Hobbit House really is a masterpiece and one of the best--if not the best--home I've rented from VRBO. Every inch of this property--the floors, ceiling, walls, showers, kitchen, and even the furnishings--is custom and designed by some amazing craftsmen with true talent. I mean literally no surface inside the home is undecorated, and the photos do not do it justice. As an added bonus, the home is immaculately clean, very thoughtfully provisioned, perfectly organized, and extremely comfortable. Our hosts were responsive, and you can tell someone really takes pride in this property. Although it is not a large space, the whole home is utilized to its fullest and the property feels spacious. A beautiful half-moon covered patio on the back (with a gas grill) is a bonus, and the hosts even provided firewood and kindling for the interior fireplace (a thoughtful detail). This house makes for a truly unique and impressive stay in Santa Fe. Highly recommend!

Southwest artistic jewel

This property is a masterpiece of mosaics, art, craftmanship which is matched by the exquisite coordination of the landscaping and amenities. It is not just a place to stay. It is an oasis of southwestern splendor in the heart of historic Santa Fe. We come as often as we can to bask in its serenity.

The Hobbit house is stunning, and has everything that you need. Neighborhood was small, quiet, walkable, and just a short drive or 25min walk to the center of Santa Fe. We could have just happily stayed on the back patio too!

Sheila and Terry's hobbit house is a true work of art--comfortable, cozy and well-stocked too. We loved watching the hummingbirds in the garden. Just a short drive to the center of town and surrounded by great restaurants and plenty of places to shop. Can't think of a single negative thing to say.

Serene Setting for Girls’ Weekend

The Hobbit House is a lovely place for a fun weekend with friends. It had everything we needed (plus more!). We especially enjoyed sitting on the back patio and listening to the water fountain. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Would definitely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Sheila Northway and Terry Northway

Host profile image
My wife and I have lived in Santa Fe for the last 40 years and for the last 10, we have wanted to play 'host.' We bought a house in a key location, and for 5 years, I 'dolled it up' with an attempt to make it a 'live-in art gallery.' It was so fun, I now am doing more of this kind of work. Sheila came in with her green thumb, and designed and planted the landscaping, plus, she oversaw all the interior decoration and furnishings. Now we work together to get it ready for guests. We enjoy sharing the house with our guests.

Why they chose this property

Santa Fe Hobbit House is unique and comfortably situated in a quiet but centrally located neighborhood.

What makes this property unique
