About this house rental
Permit #: 155447
Casa Viga Grande (The House-with-the-Massive-Beams) is tucked into a historically authentic and quiet neighborhood above Canyon Road --Santa Fe's prestigious art and gallery district. Winding, narrow streets are reminiscent of Old Europe.
This air-conditioned 1600 square foot Southwest Style Casa offers all the conveniences and charm of contemporary Santa Fe. The spaciousness of high, massive, viga-beam ceilings provide a counterpoint to the rich detail of decor. Everywhere, fine original art and thoughtfully placed artifacts meet the eye.
One uniquely appealing aspect of Viga Grande is the layout. Two completely separate and spacious bedroom suites each have their own private stone-tiled baths. As such, two couples find the equivalency between suites to be appealing. While one suite is more spacious internally; the other opens out onto its own private patio.
The well appointed kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances; double french doors unite the dining area with a second very private patio and gated garden.
The two bathrooms are beautiful and modern, with high-end tile and fixtures. The master bath has two sinks, a separate double-headed shower, and a large bathtub.
A museum-brick drive greets guests as they enter the property --which is virtually hidden behind a hand-forged iron gate. There is off-street parking for two-to-three vehicles. The fire pit on the back patio works intermittently and therefore should not be considered part of the rental.
Once in the famed Canyon Road gallery district of Santa Fe, the 3 minute drive (or 15 minute walk) to Viga Grande begins by following the historically soulful and nourishing Acequia Madre waterway (lovingly referred to by locals as 'The Mother Ditch') and then winding uphill through some of Santa Fe's most charming residential areas.
A free shuttle is also available on Canyon Road, making it easy to explore many other locations in Santa Fe -- including the Rail Yard District.
No pets are permitted at this home!

Clean, quiet, comfortable, great location and great kitchen.
5.0 / 5.0
Clean, Quiet, beautifully decorated and well appointed. We have been visiting Santa Fe for several years so we are very familiar with the weather and this year was a bit of an exception, however the water ruts on Camino sin Nombre were so severe we could barely get through with our car which is not a four-wheel drive and the ankle-deep mud pool in front of the driveway gate was a show stopper. You cannot leave the property on foot without boots. We plan to return to Santa Fe next year but perhaps a different location.

Stayed here with my mother for a long weekend. Everything was lovely: the kitchen was well appointed, rooms were clean with beautiful local art, and the garden was just starting to bloom. The place had everything we needed and was delightfully quiet in the evenings. Close to everything we wanted to do. Great communication from the hosts! We would 100% stay here again the next time we come to Santa Fe.

This Beautiful secluded home in the quaint historic east side on a hill above Canyon Road, it has lovely furnishings, accessories, and original art. We and our friends have stayed here several times. Overall, the place is clean, with the exception of finding lots of dead bugs around the exterior doors and window sills, which we had to remove. The home was obviously cleaned, but probably not recently checked before our arrival. Each time that we have stayed in this home, we wanted to use the outdoor gas fire pit on the beautiful private patio, but have been disappointed every time that it was not working. We trust that the owner will attend to our suggestions, as we always look forward to making Casa Viga Grande our place to stay on our next trip to Santa Fe.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Casa Viga after the VRBO we originally booked had an issue that left it inhabitable. After all the stress, it was great to stay in a comfortable and worry free environment. Location is close to all that Santa Fe has to offer and we spent a few cozy nights in front of the fireplace. Richard went the extra mile and was able to move up our check in time due to our situation. Would definitely stay here again in warmer weather to enjoy the fire pit and outdoor areas. Thank you - it was a great place to ring in the new year!

We’ve rented Richard’s fabulous house before and will return. He’s a terrific resource and the house is perfect to explore this wonderful town.

The house was very comfortable to settle into. We could spread out or be together. Easy to use tv, kitchen appliances, showers. Well equipped. Great location, we did not enjoy the spacious outdoor settings as we went to several places in the area where we checked out the lovely New Mexico landscape, like Jemez Springs and Ghost Ranch.

Our group of two couples truly enjoyed our stay at this historic property, situated between Canyon Road and Museum Hill. The home was beautifully decorated, updated and well equipped with things like a six burner Wolf range, beautiful riginal artwork and lighting. We enjoyed the small seating area outside, with BBQ, firepit, and the like. We highly recommend it.

Beautiful house that's perfect for two couples. House has everything you need and we especially appreciated the outside sitting areas. Close to the Canyon Rd. galleries, but some steep hills on the walk, so we didn't walk as much as planned with the heat of August. Would definitely recommend highly to others!
4.0 / 5.0
Overall very good, with excellent communication with the property manager. The only areas that need improvement are (1) the laundry area has a persistent moldy smell, also the gaskets need to be replaced on the washer and dryer. (2) brighter light in the living and dining room would make playing games much easier, and it is needed above the master bathroom sink as well.
4.0 / 5.0
Well built home with 3 splits for AC/heat. Advice: if visiting in winter and coming direct from airport: pick up your own firewood for the 2 fireplaces plus coffee.

Everything about this property was incredible! However, it snowed 3 inches while we were there and the temperature did not rise above freezing until 36 hours later, so we were stuck in the house because the hill to get to the main road was completely iced over and we did not have chains or 4 wheel drive. I had to walk half a mile to uber to Autozone to get snow chains just so we could leave the property. So like i said, amazing property, just be prepared if it snows and doesn't melt.

We really enjoyed our experience here. It is near Canyon Road, off of the beaten path in an adorable neighborhood which we loved. The decor was gorgeous, the kitchen well-appointed with top-notch appliances. The traditional fireplace was a highlight for us, kept the house warm and inviting. The primary suite has 2 closets, and the en-suite bathroom is large with double sinks. The second bedroom was much smaller with a single closet and small adjoining bathroom with a shower. The king bed, instead of being in the primary suite, was in the small second bedroom. The large primary suite had a queen sized bed. The bigger bed would fit better in the bigger room and would have been preferable sleeping for 2 people. Overall, fantastic house and we would love to book it again in the future!

Great property and location. Have rented it twice now when my adult children and their families come to visit. Both have enjoyed it. Great inside and outside gathering space with all the amenities. Secure off street parking in a wonderful historic neighborhood.

Great house and location
We had an amazing time here. The house was great. It had everything we needed and lots of outdoor space. Short walk to Canyon road and short up hill walk to amazing sunset views each night.

Beautiful, Comfortable, Expansive
The subtle, collectible artwork and architecture alone were worth staying here. We should have booked a couple of days before AND after our working days stay just for our own personal enjoyment. We will know next time! SO COMFORTABLE from beds to thoughtful lighting to expansive imaginative layout, jacuzzi tub and FOUR, (count them!) 4, outdoor visiting gathering seating "patio" areas. Uncrowded, uncluttered, clean, inviting...nay, embracing. We picked the place by the hosts and will do so again. Gratefully, R. & S.

I travel for a living and have stayed in rental properties on five continents in the last three years. This place is as good as it gets. Incredibly well stocked kitchen (love the Wolf range) , comfortable bedrooms, good location. Richard is kind and incredibly responsive. Everything you need and nothing you do not.

My wife and I absolutely loved this beautiful house (during the daytime). It was well stocked, clean, and comfortable. The furniture was in good condition. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms were also very clean and in excellent condition.When it was time to sleep however the house became much less welcoming. Between approximately 9:00 pm and 3:00 am the tongue and groove ceiling, over the bed in the master bedroom, creeks and occasionally BANGS (like someone striking the ceiling once with a hammer). This was very alarming and disturbing. It persisted each night of our 6 night stay – and happened roughly 3 – 5 times each night. It did happen in other parts of the house – but primarily in the master bedroom (right over the bed). Each night we got out of bed, at least once, and sat in the front room discussing the matter. A vacation without sleep is not pleasant. We never slept more than 4 hours in any given night. Some nights we slept less – and after the first couple of nights I felt uneasy even walking into that bedroom.It is a wonderful house. Richard, one of the property owners, was very helpful and pleasant to work with. But with a house that we could not sleep in, an outdoor gas fire pit that was broken, outdoor furniture that we had to clean, and old dog poop in the flower beds – I cannot recommend this house for anything but daytime functions.

Cute home in a unique and walkable neighborhood
We loved our stay at this home. It was perfect for our family of four and had all of the amenities needed to ensure we were comfortable. We all enjoyed the backyard between grilling and the fire pit. We walked several times to the park and to the restaurants and shops as well and enjoyed the uniqueness of our surroundings. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful place in Santa Fe-- very quiet and comfortable
The place was wonderful. Very comfortable, very well equipped and very quiet. Everything was spotless throughout.
All furnishing and appliances were high end and well maintained. We didn't use any of the outside features, but everything inside was perfect including great internet service.
Communication with the owner was quick and very helpful.
Loved it and this will be our go-to place in the future.

Thanksgiving stay
Stayed here for a long Thanksgiving weekend. The house was in a very quiet neighborhood and was perfect for what we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked with equipment, had enough to make anything we wanted. Richard, one of the property managers, was incredibly attentive and communicative. We had trouble getting Internet for a bit and he even came over on Thanksgiving day to make sure the problem is solved. I would stay here again and would recommend it for a quiet getaway.

Nice return visit
Our second visit to Casa Viga Grande. This charming spot is tucked at the end of a narrow , dead-end lane on the historic Eastside/Canyon Road area.. It’s perfect for 1 or 2 couples. The kitchen is large, updated with higher end appliances, and well stocked. We weren’t able to take advantage of multiple outdoor seating areas as the weather was a bit cold., but they would be enjoyable the rest of the year. If you aren’t familiar with all the one-way streets on the Eastside, Siri can easily guide you.

Beyond Perfect!
Absolutely beautiful and well appointed home. Very clean, tons of amenities, many extras. Loved all the little things like nightlights and extra hooks for wet towels. Also appreciated a beautiful kitchen with tons of stock as well as the outdoor seating area and fire pit. Would not only love to stay here again but would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santa Fe!

Lovely Home in Historic Area Near Canyon Road
This was the second time we have stayed at Casa Viga Grande and were happy to see that the property has been kept in perfect condition since our last stay. Furnishings, accessories, and artwork are authentic and local. The kitchen is well appointed, including a beautiful Wolf range/oven. Absolutely no need to go out to eat unless you want to enjoy the fabulous restaurants that Santa Fe has to offer! The home is secluded on a narrow road just above Canyon Road in a charming historic neighborhood. Walking to Canyon Road is quick and downhill, but the return trip uphill might be challenging for those who don't walk regularly. We have stayed in numerous hotels, condos, and private homes in Santa Fe over the past 40 years, and this is our favorite!
