Enjoy the beautiful spring and summer weather in the comfort of Casa Alissa! Relax and enjoy this peaceful and bright two bedroom adobe Casita located in the SOHO of Santa Fe in the Baca Street Art District, centrally located with easy access to all of Santa Fe. Within walking distance of galleries, artist studios, cafe's, parks, and stores in the Baca Street Art District of South Railyard Park. This lovely Casita is in a quiet neighborhood and situated right across the street from the Acequia Rail Trail. Walk or bike a mere 10-15 minutes along the Acequia Rail Trail into the North Railyard Shopping area, Farmers Market, downtown Santa Fe, museums, art galleries, micro-breweries, or to a network of trails throughout Santa Fe and the surrounding areas. Mountain Sports Shop is one block away and rents bicycles, ski's, snowboards and outdoor gear for your every outdoor need.

Right around the corner from this Casita is Larragoite Park with lots of green space, tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds and a dog park area. Additionally, its close to a fitness center, indoor pool, shopping, entertainment, museums, and much, much, more due to its central location.

Enjoy local Baca Street activities such as glass-blowing lessons at Liquid Light Glass Studio with artist Elodie Holmes. Visit the pottery studio and galleries along Baca Street or grab a bite to eat at Counter Culture Cafe.

Optionally, you can choose to have a local chef come to the Casita and cook you a 'traditional New Mexican meal' while you enjoy margaritas and talk about your day. Local Santa Fe Chef Alma will delight you with home made tortillas, guacamole, enchiladas, and dessert or any meal of your choosing cooked right in the Casita while you relax. Please contact the owner if you are interested in a special dinner prior to booking. Times, dates, and costs are negotiated with the Chef.

Unwind over dinner on the private front porch or relax in the secluded back garden/patio area after a day of sight seeing in Santa Fe. Or just relax and curl up next to the kiva fireplace to enjoy a movie or read a book.

Recharge on the upgraded pillowtop mattresses while you enjoy the view into the private garden through the master bedroom patio entrance. Skylights in the kitchen and other rooms provide light and a feeling of openness throughout the Casita.

About Jody Pugh

I have lived in Santa Fe since 2004. While I have spent 20+ years in other areas of New Mexico, Santa Fe is by far my favorite place in New Mexico due to the rich influences of the local cultures, the artists, and its laid back style! There is always something to do in Santa Fe!

Jody Pugh purchased this house in 2006
Why Jody Pugh chose Santa Fe

I bought this house due to its central location and ease of access to all of Santa Fe. Initially I bought it as a place for my children to live in while they worked in Santa Fe however with its easy access to downtown, museums, restaurants, and more we all fell in love with it. I especially like the Baca Street Art District with its easy going atmosphere, outdoor cafes, artist studios and galleries. If you want a taste of the real Santa Fe where the locals hang out, this is it. As Canyon Road and many areas of Santa Fe have gotten more and more expense, many artists have chosen to move to the Baca Street Art District and set up galleries and studios. Recently Santa Fe developed the Railyard Park with trails, studios, galleries, shops, and green space in the Baca Street Art District, so more and more artists are relocating to this area.

What makes this house unique

While staying at my property, I enjoy strolling down to the galleries for art openings, to the cafes for breakfast, or to the Acequia trail for a walk. Once on the Acequia trail, its an easy 10 minute walk or bike into North Railyard Park to the Santa Fe Farmers Market, more shopping, more art galleries, and fine dining. Top that all off with a little music and some brews from the local microbrewery and stroll or bike home!

Additionally, I always take my visiting family down the street to the Liquid Light Glass Studio for a glass-blowing lesson. Everyone always loves it, including the grandchildren!

Review of Casita Alyssa

5 of 5
Submitted: March 25, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Casita Alyssa was just perfect: economical, really comfortable, attractively appointed, great amenities, spacious for two, 3-min drive to Wholefoods, 2-min drive to the best gluten-free bakery I've ever been to, 7-minute drive to Santa Fe's plaza, and just off one of Santa Fe's main roads (thus easy access into and out of Santa Fe) and Baca street is in a very quiet, safe, neighborhood. I'd highly recommend this lovely little Casita; we'll be going back!

Honestly, if you're looking for a place in Santa Fe, this is great. Santa Fe can get pretty touristy pretty fast and we really wanted a place that was where real people lived but was close to it all! I'm sure Santa Fe is full of awesome places, but why keep looking? If Jody's place if available, book it!

We are a family of four - two adults and two small children (4 years and 18 months) and this place was perfectly perfect for us. We stayed at Casa alissa an entire month.

It's perfectly laid out - small but totally doable. The Kiva is all we used for heating in October and it heated the whole space perfectly. The kitchen had everything you could need and was a real treat. And OMG the beds are comfortable!

The outside of the property was amazing! My kids loved playing in both the front little patio and the back garden off the master bedroom. The front patio is actually off the street so I felt super safe with them out there while I made dinner or did some sewing...it was such a nice treat!

This area of Santa Fe was great. Seriously. There is a cafe up the road that we walked to nearly every day called Counter Culture. It was wonderful. An independent bookstore, vintage clothing stores and lots of artists populate the area. The casita is also just around the corner from a great park for kids - in fact one of the nicest we've played on! Tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer pitches etc.

We also only had one car and since my husband was there on a course, we often had no vehicle. This was no problem since the location is great for almost everything and we brought our bikes, which made getting around even easier. This place is totally within biking distance to a most excellent farmers market, the Railyard park, Starbucks (if you are so inclined), Whole Foods and a fantastic breakfast at either Counter Culture or Tecolote.

We (meaning the two kids and I) rode the bus into downtown a lot as well, which was really easy since it's just one bus off Cerrillos Road. Easy and Cheap!

This casita was well priced, clean, well stocked, they had fresh cream and coffee for us on arrival, and it's in a great location. And Jody was a great host! I would recommend it again and again and we hope to return one day to Santa Fe and we'll be staying at this casita for sure!

Our stay at the Railyard/Baca location was perfect. The place is spotless and well appointed. Everything you could need is there. The location was great! Close to Whole Foods, restaurants and so easy to get to the plaza. It was quiet and felt as comfortable as being at home! Many thanks to Jody - we will be back!

Perfect place for a family with 2 or 3 kids

5 of 5
Submitted: January 5, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
We enjoyed a very nice mid-winter stay. The property was very comfortable and kept up immaculately. The 2nd bedroom was fine for 3 kids, using the inflatable mattress as the 3rd bed.

The only downsides are that there's no table for eating - just stools pulled up to the peninsula, and it's not near enough to walk to the plaza.

But we used it mainly as a base for skiing, and everything is easily accessible by car.

The owner was very responsive to our questions - we would definitely recommend it, and will try to stay there again if we return to Santa Fe.

First Time Visitors from Texas

This is an excellent property for a couple or small family. My wife, three daughters and I spent 6 days here over Christmas and we were really pleased with the house. It was very clean, well appointed, and very conveniently located. The king sized bed in the master was luxurious and the twin beds in the other room had new and supportive mattresses. Everything we needed for cooking was provided and there is attention to detail throughout the home. You would be hard pressed to find a better value for the quality of home you get at Casa Alissa. For young families- there are two parks in very close proximity that our girls loved. We also discovered some jewels at the end of our stay only two blocks from home- a quaint bookstore and the incredible Counter Culture Cafe. The only improvement we could have made to the home was the addition of a second bathroom. Otherwise, it was the ideal setting for our first trip to Santa Fe. Despite the abundance of graffiti we saw close to the home, we felt safe the entire time and encountered only friendly people wherever we went. You're within walking distance of Whole Foods and, when it's not bitterly cold, the cultural district downtown. My wife and I highly recommend Casa Alissa to anyone staying in Santa Fe.
