About this house rental
Summary:
Welcome to Casa Ponderosa, a single-level desert retreat in Eldorado just outside Santa Fe. Soak in the private hot tub under wide-open skies, gather in the light-filled great room by the gas fireplace, and cook for the whole group in the chef's kitchen. With four bedrooms, a playful bunk room, a covered patio with a grill, and room for eight, it is an easy, comfortable home base for exploring the high desert and the City Different.
The Space:
Casa Ponderosa is a bright, single-level home in the peaceful Eldorado community, a short drive from the galleries, restaurants, and history of downtown Santa Fe. Set on the high-desert plain with wide-open skies and distant mountains on the horizon, it pairs warm Southwestern style with modern comfort: vaulted beamed ceilings, regional textiles, and an easy indoor-outdoor flow built for relaxing and gathering.
The open great room is the heart of the home, with soaring beamed ceilings, big windows, comfortable seating, a gas fireplace, and a smart TV. It flows directly into the dining area and the chef's kitchen, making it simple to cook, share meals, and spend time together. Step out back to the covered patio, private hot tub, and grill for sunset dinners and stargazing.
With four bedrooms including a dedicated bunk room, Casa Ponderosa comfortably sleeps eight, and the single-level, no-stairs layout makes it easy for every member of the group.

10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Laguna Azul had everything I needed. Great location in ElDorado de Santa Fe, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen for cooking any meal, great living room furniture, and a wonder patio off the back of the house. I would recommend this home to anyone!!
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
We enjoyed our stay at this home in El Dorado. We especially like the spaciousness of the house. It was spotless and well-equipped. We love the idea of having a washer and dryer. The large backyard, which was fenced, was perfect for our dogs. The dark sky was especially nice at night. The patio was easily accessible and comfortable, with ample seating. Even though it snowed one day when we were there, the house was plenty warm, and cool enough when it got warmer. The only minor point we would like to mention is that the beds in the master and queen bedrooms were exceptionally high. They would probably be too high for anyone under 5 feet. The property is also conveniently located near a lovely market and several restaurants. Customer service was responsive when we had trouble using the passcode for the front door on one occasion. We would gladly stay here again.
