Here Are A Few Kind Words From Past Guests: “I cannot overstate the beauty of Fran's place, or the amazing art and decor! We had ample room for all of us to have our own space. The gourmet kitchen is vast!!! The location is perfect - we walked Canyon Road one morning!! I really hope to bring my sister's to Fran's beautiful home for a spring break! This is the 'Best of the Best' Airbnb's!!! OH, best shower pressure ever!!!! Thanks!!!” - Kathy “Fran’s home is beautiful and in a wonderful neighborhood. We thoroughly enjoyed the house, which has a superb layout and an adorable backyard. The home is in walking distance to Canyon Road and several nice restaurants including The Tea House and Geronimo. Next time we are in Santa Fe we will definitely rent again.: - Elizabeth “It was spacious & comfortable, and so close to downtown. Skiing was only 35 minutes away; it had great tree skiing and very affordable lessons for our 6 year old. Fran was very communicative, making check in & stay super easy. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to cook, and the fireplace in the living room was perfect for relaxing after skiing. We highly recommend staying at Fran's!” - Matthew The home is named for the only canonized Native American saint, Kateri, whose bulto graces the adobe nicho in the home. The recent (2016) top-to-bottom renovation brings it up to all the standards you expect (radiant heat, air conditioning, upgraded wiring, ethernet and plumbing) and still retains the authenticity of the original adobe. Smell the fresh mountain air and hear the Cathedral bells as you relax in the front or back portals. ☆☆ BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS ☆☆ This traditional adobe home features three bedrooms and easily sleeps eight guests.

This allows for two additional bedrooms as well as two more bathrooms, an additional galley kitchen and lounge areas. While I will not be at the home, I'll be available via phone and email for any questions you might have. I grew up in Santa Fe and attended the nearby 'Garcia St. Club' as a young girl. I've always loved this historical part of Santa Fe and so pleased to own this authentic, yet modern, adobe. My fun discovery has been the eastside trail system that winds behind the homes and provide nice shortcuts to upper Canyon Road (El Farol, Tea House, and Geronimos), lower Canyon Road, as well as the Plaza. I also love the quiet and privacy of the home - so close to everything yet a welcome and relaxing home away from it all. I hope you will will feel the same at my homes on Garcia St. Uber and Lyft serve Santa Fe! The home is an easy walk to the Plaza, Railyard District, and Canyon Road. 2023 Events Pueblo Feast Days throughout the year - be sure to check Santa Fe Ski Season - Late November - Early April (depending on conditions) Santa Fe Restaurant Week - late Feb Santa Fe Film Festival - Mid Feb Santa Fe Century Bike Ride - Mid May Canyon Road Spring Art Festival - May TBD Rodeo De Santa Fe - Late June Santa Fe Opera - Late June to End of August International Folk Art Festival - Mid July Spanish Market - Late July Indian Market - Mid August Burning of Zozobra - Last Friday in August or First Friday in September Fiestas de Santa Fe - Late August / Early September Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta - September 24 - October 1 International Balloon Fiesta (ABQ) - Oct 7 - Oct 15 Indigenous Peoples Celebration - Oct TBD Santa Fe Independant Film Festival - last week of October Las Posadas - December 10 Canyon Road Farolito Walk - December 24 Let me know if you're interested in renting "Kateri Compound" both homes for a larger group gathering.
