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.

For skiers/boarders which the owners are, the base of the Ski Santa Fe Quad is 17 miles or a 30-minute drive away. You can also take a bus to the ski basin; the bus stop and free parking are two minutes from the casita.

Perfect Trip
Great place to stay- close to everything, well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, pretty view. Highly recommend Geronimo’s or Sazon for dinner- worth every dollar and a hike and scenery at Bandelier State Park is worth the drive. Thank you for a wonderful visit.The Tyler’s

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.

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++++

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.

Peaceful Casita on a Beautiful Property
This casita was perfect for my week-long stay. I loved the open and airy feel, with lots of windows and natural light. It had excellent internet connection for my online course. Beautiful trees and landscaping, and very private. Great location just outside the busyness of Santa Fe, but a quick, easy drive to town. The owners, Chris and Marie, were so delightful and friendly. They responded quickly to communication, and were helpful and accommodating. I've stayed in quite a few different rentals in Santa Fe, and this is by far my new favorite. I look forward to staying here again.
