Casa Estrella  

Description from the manager

With first class amenities, utopian patio spaces and a great location, Casa Estrella is an exquisite New Mexico vacation home rental in Santa Fe. The home is a lovingly, restored historic adobe in the heart of the Historic Eastside of Santa Fe, at the end of a private drive surrounded by other period adobe and Territorial homes. The finest galleries and restaurants of Canyon Road are only a five minute walk away. Stroll to the Plaza and the Governors Palace in fifteen minutes. Explore the four world class museums on Museum Hill within 1.3 miles. It is less than six miles to the Santa Fe Opera and minutes from the new Railyard arts and enterta...inment district. This authentic Pueblo Revival casita has been totally redone over the past two years and has been furnished with new and antique furnishings and stainless steel appliances in a contemporary New Mexico style. There are double-adobe walls, 9-foot beamed ceilings, hand-troweled diamond plaster walls, skylights, wide-plank pine and white oak floors, and Saltillo tile throughout. French doors in the kitchen lead to an outdoor patio dining area and the gardens. Warm yourself by the kiva fireplace in the living room on chilly Santa Fe nights. There is a completely equipped modern kitchen, and the dining table seats six. The two lovely bedrooms include a master suite with a California King bed, dressing area and bath plus a guest bedroom with a King bed and shower bath. The house has a full-size stacking washer-dryer in the utility area. There are 3 wall mounted refrigerated air conditioners mounted in the kitchen and each bedroom. Casa Estrella is filled with signed Native American art and is surrounded by lovely garden areas on four sides. Relax to the sounds of a Stone Forest millstone fountain and discover Sanctuary, an original sculpture by renowned artist Bill Worrell in the garden. The landscaping is softly illuminated for truly enchanting Santa Fe evenings. The gardens are perfect for outdoor entertaining or a romantic evening for two. There are three separate outdoor areas for dining, cocktails or just enjoying a rain shower or snowfall. A lounge area shaded by a large Russian olive tree has a cocktail table, seating for four and a chimenea. Enjoy your meals, cocktails and star gazing around the garden dining table for six. In season, savor fruit from apple, apricot, peach and plum trees in the gardens. The house and gardens are completely enclosed by adobe walls ad coyote fences. Aspen trees line the drive along the outer wall of the casita. This very popular property is perfect for one or two couples!Permit#:13-00118458 Excellent, excellent, excellent! I brought my parents, who are in their 80's, for a long weekend in Santa Fe and loved Casa Estrella. An absolutely beautiful place. Our Girl-Trip was wonderful. The Casita was fantastic - We give it an A++++. The beds were so comfortable and by the time we returned home each night, we were ready for them. You and Marilyn did a great job with decorating.

  Homeowners have thought of everything!

  Casa Estrella is a beautiful, comfortable, well-equipped home in an excellent location. Located in a quiet neighborhood close to Canyon Road, it has good parking and nice outdoor spaces, which would be ideal during warm weather. The furnishings are comfy and well-suited for two couples. Both bedrooms have king beds, with en-suite bath in the master. Second bath is smaller and opens to living area but is adequate. The master bed was very comfortable, but our friends in other bedroom indicated the mattress had a bit of a ridge down the middle. That was the only thing we found that wasn't just perfect. We hope to stay here again.

  Excellent Stay in a Cute, Well-Appointed Cottage

  Left on 03/25/2010 for a stay in March 2010
  
  

  We were exceptionally pleased by how the house was decorated and furnished. We particularly liked the heated floor in the master bathroom. The location is also excellent, being well off the main street but only a 5 min walk to Canyon Rd. The only problem was the Kiva fireplace did not have a good draft and therefore created smoky conditions.

  Wonderful Garden...

  Left on 09/17/2009 for a stay in September 2009
  
  

  Very nice property with great outdoor space, sculpture and water feature.
  Only negatives that we found were that the internet connection is located in the second bedroom and one must sit on the bed or stand bedside to use.
  Also, while there are plenty of towels, there was only one washcloth provided in each bathroom.
  With those minor exceptions, the little house was nicely decorated, well equipped, and had a great location.
  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
