Peaceful Hilltop Casita w/ Stunning Views, Close to the Historic Plaza

Our casita, Cielito Lindo, is located in exclusive North Hills, situated at an altitude of 7,200 ft. on a serene and beautiful hilltop, three minutes from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, galleries, restaurants, shopping and night life. Experience sunrises and sunsets as you've never seen before. Night is especially magical in North Hills. In the summer, sit outside on your private portal listening to the wind sighing in the piñons. Gaze at stars so bright you can almost touch them. Hear the howl of coyotes in far-off hills and, in between, a serene and profound silence unique to the high desert country of northern New Mexico. In the winter, build a roaring fire in the kiva and snuggle in with a book, music or television or just listen in silence to the crackling fire. Cielito Lindo is a place to reconnect - with yourself and with the world around you.

Situated on a hilltop off a quiet street with private parking, Cielito Lindo offers a cosy, romantic getaway that features a large living room complete with a Kiva fireplace, 50" TV, and stereo system. Enjoy home cooked meals from the spacious fully equipped kitchen or take a short walk down to the plaza for shopping and restaurants. The bedroom offers a queen bed, along with plenty of closet space. The den can also be used as a second bedroom complete with a sleeper sofa or as an office while working away from home.

This casita is ideal for a writer, painter, arts lover, couple or family in search of serenity and all the natural beauty that Santa Fe has to offer.

For those interested in working offsite, the casita has high speed internet accessed through cable. The service provider is Xfinity and our plan includes their Performance Pro internet (300 Mbps download speed, gaming, multiple devices), digital tv and a VoIP landline.

Conveniently located about 1 mile from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, shops, grocery stores, galleries and museums and a 12-minute drive from the world-famous outdoor Santa Fe Opera.

Charming casita in a great location
Three good friends enjoyed a long weekend in this cute casita. It is in a great location that allows quick access to central Santa Fe but was also wonderful when we opted to have a night in. Quiet area with a lot of privacy. We took long walks in the mornings along the very low traffic roads. The extra futon was very comfortable and we loved the fireplace and sunset view from the backyard. Owners were excellent with all communication.

Great stay!
We loved our visit. The casita was just perfect for my daughter and I. We liked being close to town but not right in all of the hubbub. The hosts couldn’t have been nicer!

Delightful Peaceful Hilltop Casita
We enjoyed a wonderful visit in the Peaceful Hilltop Casita between February,14-21, 2024. The casita is nestled in a peaceful setting just outside Santa Fe. To the west is a magnificent view of the Jemez Mountains and to the east the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The casita is surrounded by pinon trees and junipers giving the effect of being in the woods while only being a few minutes' drive from all of Santa Fe's amenities. Our hosts, Chris and Marie, made every effort to make our stay comfortable. From the nice welcome note on the dining room table when we arrived, the tasteful placement of houseplants, the exceptional cleanliness, comfortable furniture, all supplies necessary to enjoy a cheery fire in the fireplace, down to the small legal pad with a pen in a basket on the dining room table, it was abundantly clear the efforts to makes us feel welcome. The refrigerator was thoroughly cleaned and cleared of any condiments and perishables that previous guests had left. That is a huge plus for us. We have stayed in numerous places in New Mexico, and usually the pervious guests' condiments and perishables are left in the refrigerator which is a deal breaker for us. The attention paid to making sure the refrigerator was emptied and spotless made a huge favorable impression on us. For a restful, renewing, experience with all the beauty that Santa Fe and the surrounding area offers look no further than the delightful Peaceful Hilltop Casita! Kudos to our hosts

Next time too
We really enjoyed our stay at Chris and Marie's hilltop casita, and the hospitality they demonstrated to accommodate our New Year gathering with our adult family. One son lives in Santa Fe, so we are regular visitors. We will definitely look for availability at the hilltop casita for our next trip to the area.

Wonderful Casita
I highly recommend this peaceful casita! It is incredibly private you never feel like you are being watched. The check-in is smooth and easy and the casita itself is wonderful. The outside area is great for a glass of wine with stunning New Mexico sunsets. The owners are very helpful and have great suggestions for the area. They even lent me a couple of books for the area. The neighborhood is excellent and my wife loved running on the hilly roads. It is close to the wonderful downtown plaza area and to the roadway to the ski area and a bunch of great hikes all along the road. Excellent people, great homey casita with almost everything you need for your stay, and a phenomenal location. We will be back!

Fantastic retreat close to the Plaza but away from it all!
The hosts were super responsive to questions and full of great advice on things to do. The casita was super clean, comfy beds and so very relaxing. Watched the sunset from the backyard, heard coyotes and the stars were amazing. So very close to the Plaza, short drive to fantastic hikes. Will definitely be a repeat guest. A++++

Loved our stay
We had a great experience in this home during our 6 day stay. Owners were very responsive and the Casita was perfect for our needs. View at sunset and night were amazing. We sat stargazing at night into a dark sky. It was convenient to all of the activities were participated in during our time in Santa Fe.
