About this house rental
This casita stands alone and very private on a 2.5-acre property at the top of Old Santa Fe Trail. Just 15 minutes to the Santa Fe Plaza and 5 minutes to the popular Harry's Roadhouse and El Gauncho Fitness Club. Just close enough to town and a scenic, traffic-free drive to a peaceful getaway from the hustle and bustle. The casita is fresh and immaculate with natural clay paint walls and bamboo floors. There is a private driveway, parking area, and walkway/entrance. The casita has a casita sized full kitchen and bathtub/shower. This casita is clean and bright with lots of natural light, wooden shutters, and modern, wooden, gated fencing for privacy. We have recently added a ceiling fan, tiled bathroom floor and screened dog door to the patio area. The casita stays a comfortable temperature year round due to its’ mountain location with radiant heat in the winter and mini swamp coolers for those possible few weeks of heatwaves. Hiking and is close by in all directions. There are off leash dog parks in town. Dog friendly and dogs under 30 lbs. are welcome if well behaved! We invite you to stay for an extra special Santa Fe visit, romantic getaway or an artist's retreat..

THE CASITA ITSELF IS EXCELLENT ALONG WITH THE LOCATION. WE LOVED EVERY LITTLE DETAIL FROM THE OWNER AND WE WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND IT.
5.0 / 5.0
Very good spatial use of a small casita. Not cramped. Host was very thoughtful with amenities, i.e., fruit, coffee, creamer, butter, eggs, dog biscuits, etc. No need to run to the store after the long journey to Santa Fe. They really made the first night and next morning very easy. We would definitely stay there again. Very scenic area of Santa Fe.

bettinas casita is a simple, quiet, modern cabin on a special property at the outskirts of santa fe, in the foothills. Its well stocked with everything you need-high quality pans, towels, a robe, linens. She even filled the fridge with yummy GF food after asking if im gluten-free, and put a beautiful orchid on the counter. it was a lovely stay!
5.0 / 5.0
We specifically wanted a property that was private, surrounded by nature, had a kitchen and allowed pets. This property checked all those boxes and it included a nice secure outdoor space for our dog. The hosts were very responsive and provided assistance when needed.
A few items of note for other renters:
• There is very limited walkable space on this property. This is not clear in the listing. It’s a beautiful property with gorgeous views but don’t expect to venture out on it. Plenty of hiking nearby though.
• It’s a very small casita and this is clear in the listing. Would not be suitable for more than two people and one small dog.
• Great shower with fast hot water which was welcomed on our Winter trip
• If your stay will be during the winter be prepared for ice/snow in the driveway. Hosts helped us get our suv out but it can be a bit tricky. The driveway is narrow and requires delicate maneuvering to get your vehicle in and out. Especially in snow/ice.

This was the most tranquil, magical exceptional property! Bettina was an amazing host and the casita was equipped with everything I could have possibly needed and more. There were scrumptious treats and welcoming lights and food. The nature surrounding the property was so beautiful. I wish that I could have stayed longer.

This was a perfect place for me and my dog. The place was immaculate, and super clean!! Bettina was a great hostess, and left wonderful snacks for me and the dog. I told her not to worry as I have a gluten allergy, but she had wonderful gluten free items for me when I arrived. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. The water pressure also works great in the shower. I loved waking up in the morning to smell the pine trees, and listening to all the birds. It's so peaceful and quiet. It's not a far drive in to town, and I would take my dog to the park to exercise him. If you are wanting to get away by yourself or you are a couple wanting some peace and quiet, but want to be close to town, this is the place to be!! Highly recommend!!
5.0 / 5.0
The place was quaint and great for a few days’ stay. A longer stay for 2 people with 2 dogs was a little tight as storage was limited. However, great access to town and hiking. Bettina was very responsive to our questions and thoughtful - left 1/2 dozen eggs, bananas, butter and half/half for the morning! And dog biscuits! The doggy door and fenced in area was great.

Sanctuary
This is a wonderful get away. The host is absolutely the best we have experienced.
Nestled in the foothills on Old Santa Fe Trail. There is a wonderful health and swim facility close. Museum Hill is close and town/plaza. Highly recommended!!

Better for shorter stay and younger renters.
My wife and I (mid - late 70’s) were at the Casita for 8 nights. While nicely appointed, we found it a bit claustrophobic toward the end of our stay. We had no contact with or from our hosts. A word of caution for those of our generation or those with mobility challenges. The dozen dirt framed steps down to the entry are uneven and could be tricky. Of greater concern is the downhill dirt driveway that offers but limited vision and traction when leaving the property to access the narrow 2-lane Hwy to get anywhere.

Great amenities
The owners have thought of everything to ensure a very comfortable stay, down to the smallest details. Every need is met, and more. We very much appreciated the treats and food waiting for us upon arrival - so welcoming and thoughtful. This very small house is extremely clean, and for being so compact, is very well laid out. We loved coming back each day to sit outside and enjoy the quiet, green surroundings. It is well located for visiting downtown Santa Fe, and surrounding sights. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.

Bettina Casita
A very comfortable and cozy place, away from traffic noise. Surrounded by forest, one hears only bird music and wind whistling through fir trees. We lived this getaway!

Enchanting, Welcoming, Cozy Casita
My partner and I stayed at Bettina's property for a week as we explored Santa Fe and Taos. It was a clean and cozy tucked into a beautiful landscape. After a long trip caused by many Southwest Airline delays, we were grateful for the food and welcome sign we saw when we walked in. We were also pleased that the wi-fi and cable worked well, as we find sometimes this is not the case in all cabins we've stayed in.

Beautiful Studio with incredible fenced yard for contemplation and outside access for pets.
VBRO’s search filter function has major flaws - but despite no W/D - I really enjoyed my 3 weeks stay. {the Solarno Laudromat was clean, safe and friendly - only 20 min away}. The studio had everything else you might need, was supplied with some goodies on. Arrival, and had a reverse Osmosis water tap for some wonderful cold clear water. Great place to stay!

Me & My Dog
I stayed here for 9 days while finalizing details for my upcoming move to the area. The property worked great as a location for me to work remote during the day & have a little yard for my dog to enjoy. The wifi worked great and supported my remote working needs. I had no cell phone signal the whole time, so be prepared for that if you are staying in the area. The casita was very lovely, clean and worked great for my needs. Only difficulty was the dog walking directly from the venue was not the best due to being on a windy road with very little shoulder. This was not an issue in the evenings as we just went somewhere for a hike but morning dog walks were hard. I would still stay here again, however something worth noting for others looking to stay with 4 legged companions.

Cute Place
Very cute and clean little casita. Beautiful private patio. The host stocked the casita with essentials and even a few little treats! Parking is a little tight if you have a large vehicle. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends!

Cozy casita thoughtfully appointed
The hostess is very easy to communicate with and generously stocked the property with food essentials. The casita is well appointed and impeccably clean. Excellent privacy and quiet. More than adequate kitchen space, and, again very well supplied with kitchenware. Outside of town (which we wanted) by a short drive yet conveniently located. Very pet welcoming

Exceptional casita experience
We spent three nights at this property We have visited Santa Fe quite a bit staying down town mostly. This place was out Santa Fe Trail Road up in the hills a bit. Very quite and completely enjoyable. Accommodations were very good and the owner did a great job with making the experience very thoughtful down to the last detail. We will certainly recommend and stay here again.

Breath of fresh air
Literally. So clean smelling, being amongst the pines was so peaceful. Great place to do yoga and meditate or relax and read. Yet not too far from the rest of civilization. Loved it.

Wonderful Property
I can’t say enough positive things about this property and the owners. Not only is it up in the mountains overlooking the forest, but it is an easy drive to anywhere in town. The owners were especially friendly and welcoming. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook evening meals and breakfast. We had plenty of room to relax inside and outside of the casita. Our dog felt right at home and loved to lay out on the patio. The stay was made extra special because we were welcomed with essentials in the refrigerator, fresh ground coffee, chocolates, and lovely flowers. When we return to Santa Fe, we will definitely staying at this property again.

Mountain Retreat
I was very impressed with this property. The owners contacted me before with directions to the house because some map apps are not correct. The first time finding the spot the app was really close but it was nice to have the instructions. The property was very clean and nice, I felt very comfortable. We enjoyed the fireworks in Santa Fe but it was so nice to escape them by getting out of town. We had lots of activities going during the day but it was so nice to come back to a wonderful bed and feel relaxed and rejuvenated the next day. On the way to the property you pass a restaurant, something Roadhouse. please stop there, the food was amazing! We wanted to try a bunch of places but this one was a top contender as far as delicious foods go. I had the breakfast burrito and my wife had the special, blue corn chocolate pancakes, it was amazing. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone thinking about staying in Santa Fe, its a little ways out of the City but having a mountain retreat that close was perfect for us! Thank you

Excellent stay!
This lovely & peaceful casita was perfect for us! It was quiet, clean, restful & fully equipped. Wonderful private outdoor patio (with hammock), where we spent quiet morning & evenings with our small dogs. The location is perfect too! It's a quick & easy drive in to Santa Fe. Highly recommend this property.

Peace is in every detail
I needed a place to sit in quiet and ease some of the burdens we all face at times. This little casita is simply stunning in every detail..the furnishings, the artwork, the beautiful courtyard/garden. Yet all the conveniences you need, and the real world is very close by if you need it!!! The owners are excellent at communicating, yet give you your space. I can’t say enough about my experience, and highly recommend it to travelers.

Relaxed, happy and comfortable.
A wonderful place - clean and stylish, in a beautiful location so handy to Santa Fe and surrounding areas. We spent our time here relaxed, happy and comfortable. There is such a safe and peaceful atmosphere here and I gladly offer my highest recommendation, especially to those who might just want to write, reflect, or simply relax. And did I mention our dogs were delighted to be here! They sure seemed like it! Thank you to Bettina and Rama. We loved it.

Thoughtful, beautiful and peaceful
This place is amazing. The hosts are fantastic and took great care to decorate the house with many personal touches. Fully stocked kitchen with many gracious amenities, nice linens and beautiful construction finish inside and out. Just off the beaten path enough for peace and quiet yet very close to the heart of Santa Fe. We will be back, guaranteed.

Perfect! Just as advertised.
Bettina and Rama have put together the perfect getaway in the hills just below Santa Fe. The casita was very clean, well-equipped and charming for 2 vacationers.
We also found extras such as eggs, fresh fruit, coffee and chocolate available to us.
The kitchen has all you need and the bed is very comfortable. Shower worked well with plenty of hot water. Secluded and very quiet but not far from town and restaurants or downtown Santa Fe (15 min.)
Would highly recommend this property.

Peaceful, relaxing well appointed property!
We absolutely loved this property just outside Santa Fe. We brought our dogs and they had a nice secure place to relax while we went to town. Bettina made our visit so exceptional! She had fresh ground coffee, fruit, eggs, and other staples, creating a welcoming beginning to our vacation. She was very attentive to our needs and we will be staying at Casita Bettina again in the future for sure!

The Perfect Get-Away
My wife and I could not have been more pleased with the cabin or with the host and hostess. The cabin had everything we needed or wanted, including a secure back yard for our two Westies. Everything was spotless, and the refrigerator was kindly stocked with a few essentials that added to the comfort of our first day.
The cabin is twenty minutes from Santa Fe city center, where we went often. We found several really nice restaurants and entirely too many shopping opportunities on and near the square.
Another forty minutes up the road is Los Alamos, and an hour beyond that is Angle Fire. We made those two destinations on separate day trips during our nine great days at the cabin, and both were memorable. The mountain hike at Angle Fire was one of our best all time vacation experiences.
We are looking forward to our next trip to Santa Fe, and for sure we will be staying here or we won't be going. It was that nice.
