About this property

Turquoise Butterfly | Fireplace, Heart of Downtown

How many can say “we stayed in downtown Santa Fe, NM?” Or in these times, worked and vacationed in Santa Fe? Our casita (little house) was given its name from its location above the Turquoise Butterfly gallery. This vacation rental in Santa Fe, New Mexico is situated next to a beautiful courtyard and deck overlooking the river. Serene views, area adventure and quality time with loved ones await.

When you choose Turquoise Butterfly, you will be centrally located, making it easy to explore the city. Located one block away from the plaza, or otherwise known as the heart and soul of Santa Fe, this casita is close to many great restaurants, galleries and shops. Arts districts including Canyon Road and the Railyard are within walking distance. Not to mention, a grocery store is just one block away, ensuring you can stock the fridge with all your favorite snacks for your stay. Another popular attraction that brings people to Santa Fe is mountains and high-desert landscapes. These sites are just a short daytrip away.

Staying true to its surroundings, Turquoise Butterfly has all the old doors, adobe walls, and Santa Fe art throughout that gives you an appreciate for the attention to detail and nod to the city’s culture. Enter the casita by climbing a mosaic art stairway and find yourself on a private patio with flowers and treetops.

This rental was built in the early 1900s and has an old-world charm to it indicated by carved wood doors, tall ceilings and hardwood floors. Step into vacation mode as you walk through the door and find a cozy, light-filled room with a skylight and wooden architectural highlights. An arched fireplace adorns your view with its high mantel. The living room offers a beautiful leather couch, TV, and dining area, ensuring you make yourself at home.

The kitchen has a full-size refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, oven and microwave. Handmade red and turquoise tiles reflect Santa Fe colors and make the kitchen an inviting place to cook. You will love time spent here preparing snacks and home-cooked meals for your crew in a stunning, clean kitchen.

The bright colors continue into each bedroom. The primary bedroom is complete with old turquoise doors and a kiva fireplace welcoming you to a wonderful night’s sleep. The third bedroom is connected to the primary. Through the primary bedroom you will find a lovely primary bathroom with two petrified wood sinks, a tub/shower combination, and an alcove complete with a washer and dryer. The second bathroom includes a large, spa-quality shower.

One of most popular features of this home is the private porch and deck. Kick back, relax and enjoy the cool weather of Santa Fe. The Santa Fe River Park is across the street, so you can jog or walk easily. The large courtyard next door would be a great spot to start a new book, reflect on your exciting day or plan tomorrow’s adventures. The quartz fountain in the courtyard is breathtaking, and the sound of the falling water will take your stress away.

There is a reason “Travel & Leisure” said Santa Fe is one of the Top American Best Small Cities in the United States! So come see why everyone is traveling and spending time in Santa Fe. Book your stay at Turquoise Butterfly today!

Wonderful location/ cute and comfortable

I stayed at this place with two friends. The three bedrooms and two baths were comfortable and super clean. The kitchen was through one of the bedrooms but it didn’t bother us. Being so close to the square was wonderful . My only suggestion is to stock the kitchen with either storage containers or foil and Saran Wrap. No way for us to store the food we brought.

Fantastic Stay!

Our family of 6 fit beautifully in this cozy, eclectic artists' haven! We loved the artistic details throughout the home, and the old wooden doors were truly beautiful. We felt cozy and tucked away in the heart of old Santa Fe! The location was one of our favorite parts of this home! It was just off of the plaza, and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. We loved our stay and will definitely be back! Communication was awesome, and we had everything we needed in this beautiful home!The only thing to note (if traveling with family or kids) is planning your arrival so that someone can drop you off in front of the home during non-peek hours. This will allow you to move your bags easily from the car to the home. (There are parking spots in front of the home, but during busy hours they are usually taken.) Once unloaded, you can park in the parking lot of the Sendero Motel, which is truly just around the corner!

Super convenient with awesome Santa Fe vibe

Couldn't be a more perfect home base for life on the Square... We LOVED our stay in the comfy beds, cozy property, with surprising privacy and quiet so close to the hub of the Square. We absolutely loved it. Thank you!

Great Place, Great Location

Just perfect for our New Year's vacation. Two adults and two kids. Space was great. Decor was great. A bit noisy walking through two of the bedrooms to get the kitchen/bathrooms. May want to position your early risers thoughtfully.

Location!

This is a perfect location for a downtown Santa Fe visit. Walk almost everywhere. Very cute house! However, it is very quirky and you have to go through bedrooms to get to the kitchen and through a second bedroom to get to the bathroom. If you want privacy while you are there, this is not the rental you want.

Charming casita

This is an adorable little spot right around the corner from the plaza. We loved our time there. Parking is a bit of an issue but that's the only drawback. As soon as our stay was over, I looked to rebook but my dates were already spoken for. If you're going to be in Santa Fe, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Cute casita in great location

Second time staying at Turquoise Butterfly. Cute, funky, a little rickety in spots. The location can't be beat -- walking distance to many iconic Santa Fe locations (just not Museum Hill). The Plaza is basically in your backyard. Lovely semi-private patio in front.

Turquoise Butterfly review

Great location and the parking arrangement was very convenient. Linens and towels were abundant, the kitchen was well appointed, and the place had historical 'character'. We would certainly stay there again if returning to Santa Fe.

Not good for elderly people

Two older women, we had our nephew come and help us get our things in and out. With the parking down the street, I was very disappointed. Have stayed in Santa Fe hotels where the parking is easy. This place is great for people who don’t have a problem carrying things etc. plus with all the extra costs, it’s $800 a night, which is too expensive

Three Couples in Santa Fe for Opera Season

The location was awesome. We were right on the edge of Indian Market. The furniture/beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. There is one parking sticker included for a nearby parking lot and more can be purchased for additional cars. There is a loading zone near the unit. The downside of the property is the bed/bath situation requires you to walk thru a bed area to get to the bathroom or kitchen, so if multiple couples are staying together they have to be flexible and used to camping/RVing type situations. We enjoyed ourselves and would return to this unit again if it was available.

We really enjoyed sitting on the front porch. It’s too bad there just aren’t better views out any of the windows but it was a great location to walk to all shopping, galleries and restaurants.

Our stay at the Turquoise Butterfly was wonderful. The location could not have been better for our needs and it is walking distance to all the places we wanted to go to during our stay. The layout was perfect for our family of 5 and the decor was beautiful and quaint. It was great. Would highly recommend.
