Photos and Description of the Santa Fe vacation house rental
Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)

Just 3 blocks from the Plaza, the Biscochito Holiday Casita – named for New Mexico’s official special-occasion cookie, the 'biscochito' – is a sweet freestanding, fully-equipped adobe guesthouse that is beautiful, comfortable and clean, clean, clean! Two artists designed it, and guests love the attention to décor and detail. That plus the perfect Santa Fe setting in a quiet historic downtown neighborhood in this ideal location near the Plaza and surrounding restaurants, markets, galleries, shopping, performance spaces, the Convention Center, the railyard and museums (walk 2 short blocks to the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum!)

You are greeted with specialty coffees and teas in the granite-tile countertop kitchen that has everything: mini-refrigerator, two-burner countertop stove, microwave, D/W, coffeepot, tea kettle, blender, toaster, stainless pots-and-pans, dishes, wine goblets and more. Expect ironed pillowcases, fine linens and bedding on the queen-size bed, ample fluffy soft towels for the bathroom with gorgeously tiled shower and skylight.

Traditional beamed ceilings, French doors, dimmer contemporary fixtures, original artwork, red leather arm chairs, 26” flat screen Cable TV/DVD and stacked W/D. Electric only with on-demand water heater (endless hot water) and baseboard heat. A/C available or operable skylight for warm times. The private brick patio with umbrella table and tabletop charcoal barbecue is enclosed with Santa Fe style coyote (cedar post) fencing. Parking provided, too!

Ideal for two!

About Victoria Rogers

Victoria Rogers, RN, LMT, MA, owns and manages her properties, finding usefulness for a lifetime of professional experiences, too many and numerous to mention! Bringing beauty to the environment, love to the people and happiness to the experience is her specialty, and meeting guests who expect less but get so much more gives her pleasure. She was entranced by New Mexico in 1979 and since then, has had a romance with the land and the culture that is wonderful to share with new discoverers of the region. Her photography is in a historic permanent collection at the New Mexico Museum of Art. Her new book, 'Santa Fe's Historic McKenzie Neighborhood', published in April 2011, is also a fun walking tour guidebook of the area's architecture. Find out more about this property at www.biscochitoholidaycasita.com or even more about the owner at www.victoria-rogers.com.

Victoria Rogers purchased this house in 2007
Why Victoria Rogers chose Santa Fe

As an artist, I felt fortunate to have such a wonderful downtown lifestyle in the midst of the history and new cultural offerings in Santa Fe. Renovating an adobe structure into a magical guesthouse opened the door to inviting kindred-travelers to experience this extraordinary 'City Different' along with us appreciative residents.

What makes this house unique

A retreat from the world yet a fun walk a couple of blocks through our architecturally interesting neighborhood into town. Great for jumping on a bicycle or as a jumping off spot for daytrips to the explore the magnificent New Mexico landscape. Easy to cook at home or spontaneously head to any number of terrific nearby restaurants and cafes for delicious New Mexican cuisine. Staying cozy in the softly-lit casita, listening to the quiet during siesta or at bedtime. Leaving the car behind when going to a museum, shopping, a meeting at the Convention Center or a performance!

Just as advertised. Modern, well-kept casita. Great location. Perfect for a couple that likes to walk. We walked to the Plaza, the Railyard, Canyon Road, Galleries, Museums and Restaurants. Owner met us on arrival and explained everything well. Friendly, courteous and helpful.
Would recommend to anyone and would stay again.

My husband and I stayed at this perfect casita just off the square for two days in December. It is in a fantastic location and has all the amenities one would want! Shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance and the casita itself is charming and comfortable. We also had a great rapport with the owner, Victoria. She was efficient, generous, and very accommodating during our stay. We will be recommending this place to any friends and family looking to stay in Santa Fe.

Adorable, full of charm and comfort. I'm a bit of a luxury hotel snob because I appreciate cleanliness, beauty, and attention to detail. This casita had it all! I was travelling by myself and felt safe and pampered. I loved the privacy, the enclosed courtyard, and being able to walk downtown easily even after dark. And... Victoria offers an amazing massage! I can't wait to return.

When we had to move from another accommodation, our hostess placed us here; the renovation is perfect. The studio is beautifully appointed, no detail left to chance. The color scheme, rugs, furnishings, all are top notch. Also, the bath and kitchen have every modern convenience.
It is a bit small for two, but for a short stay it was fine. It is well hidden behind the coyote fence, well back from the street. One can enjoy the courtyard and feel very private.
