About this house rental

Hacienda de Encina is a lovely adobe home located between Museum Hill and the Plaza. It is within minutes from Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Natural Grocers, and Albertsons. The home is an excellent home to set up a "work from home" situation. Have your morning coffee on the north patio and relax in the evenings on the East facing portal.
Most of our wonderful restaurants are available for outside dining and curbside pick-up.
Enjoy the mountains on your days off.

The space has excellent WIFI and desk/tables for working at home.
It is also an excellent home to rent while looking to buy a home in our wonderful city.
Great family home!!!

You will find Hacienda de Encina's living room a great space to catch up with family as you relax around the wood burning stove or with the kiva fireplace for Santa Fe charm. When you are not enjoying Santa Fe’s many excellent restaurants, you will find Hacienda de Encina’s fully equipped kitchen, dining room and patio a wonderful alternative. On summer evenings or mornings, relax and enjoy the private, enclosed patio with BBQ. The large East facing portal is wonderful for watching rainbows, rainstorms and rabbits.

Explore Santa Fe History! This classy traditional Santa Fe adobe is owned by me, the
granddaughter of the original owners, a multigenerational northern New Mexico family. This beautiful home was built in the 1960s by a prominent Court of Appeals Judge from Las Vegas, New Mexico and his lovely wife with roots in Taos, New Mexico. The home was treasured as “Grandmother and Papa’s house”. The Spiess family was instrumental in the founding of the state of New Mexico and the constitution of New Mexico. History available in the home and New Mexico History Museum.

Master Suite has a king-sized bed with in-suite bathroom with shower
Guest Bedroom 1 has a full size bed.
Guest Bedroom 2 has 2 twin beds that can be put together to form a king-sized bed.
There is a full sized fold up mattress that can be used as an extra sleeping space.
Additional twin bed is available upon request

In Summary:

Beautiful patio with BBQ during the evenings
Front porch for morning sun, rabbits and rainbows

WONDERFUL place for a family gathering!!!!

Note: I live in a casita at the back of the property. An occupied apartment is located on on the north side of the property as well. We all have private driveways and entrances.

We enjoyed our stay at The Hacienda de Encina! It was a great location, quiet, private and not too far from the Center of Santa Fe and parking on the premises. Checking in was easy. The house gave us lots of room for 7 people and it was clean. The kitchen had everything you need: stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, basic supplies in the cub boards, many utensils and more, plus a BBQ outside. There was big table in the dining room which accomodated 7 people easily. Living room had comfortable seating for everybody and we sat outside with our coffee in the morning sunrise. Bedrooms were nice, linens were clean and new, beds comfortable and plenty of towels available. Karen was quick to respond to our questions. A lovely home away from home. Thank you, Karen, Maryke and Dick

This lovely hacienda truly was the peaceful getaway we were looking for. The home is exactly as advertised and was perfect for our family of 5. The furniture is comfy, the kitchen has everything we needed, and the option to sit and enjoy the perfect Santa Fe summer weather on either the front porch or in the private courtyard off of the kitchen was magical. We had views of double rainbows 2 evenings in a row. The neighborhood is charming, we enjoyed nightly strolls. Everything in Santa Fe is easy to get to, especially compared to being used to driving all over the Houston area, but this home is only a few minutes from the Plaza so it's super convenient to pop over when you want to but then be able to get home to a quiet neighborhood. Parking around the plaza can be a challenge but the trick is to park in the metered spots in front of the Bataan Memorial Building and then just walk the couple of blocks to the shops. The history of the hacienda and what Karen and her family have done to maintain it's charm is fascinating. We had the opportunity to meet Karen when she came to roll the trash cans out to the street and she was such a warm and kind human being. She lives at the back of the property but we never really knew that because she gives space and privacy, we only got lucky enough to meet her because of the timing of trash day. We had a lovely conversation and we were happy we got the chance to put a face to the name, she was super easy to interact with. Highly recommend!

Overall it was a cute house in a nice area and we enjoyed our stay, but there were some minor issues that came up during our vacation. The common areas were very nice, comfortable, and clean, but the master bed was very uncomfortable and I had issues sleeping on it. It was so hard I felt like I was sleeping on the floor of a cave in Bandelier National Monument (beautiful, by the way). Although the house was nice, we feel it should have been disclosed on the listing that it was a duplex shared with the owner. We didn't hear any noise from her side and only saw her once, so it didn't end up an issue. The fridge was broken during our stay, which was not the owner's fault, but her solution was to put a mini fridge on the patio which was almost full with her food. This meant we could not really utilize the kitchen and we feel the owner should have offered us a discount for the inconvenience. It's a very beautiful home and you can tell the owner has a lot of pride in the ownership.
