Gate- Please use the code provided in your check-in email to open the gate. There will be a gate remote in the house for you to use during your stay. The gate will automatically open when leaving and close behind you.


Please drive slowly so that it has time to sense the car and start to open.

If you have guests visiting you, have them slowly and firmly push ’#001’ on the keypad outside the gate. This will ring the phone inside the house. To let them in, press and hold ’9’ until you hear a high ring on the phone receiver.


Parking- Please park only in the designated parking spaces near the guest house. Your parking is to the left of the water spigot as you enter the property.

Door

The lockbox located is to the right of the door on a wooden post. Please return the key to the lockbox after you have opened the door as there will be a set for you to use during your stay.


***If you want the front door to remain unlocked, be sure to turn the little knob in the handle on the inside of the door, otherwise it will be locked from the outside***

Television

TV/ Cable- There are TV’s in both the living and master bedroom.

Trash and Recycling

The trash bin in the house is the compactor under the counter, next to the fridge.

There is a large green trash bin located outside the casita by the parking area. A large blue recycling bin is next to the trash. The recycling bin takes all recyclables except glass. Glass can go in the green trash bin.

Both trash and recycling are picked up on Wednesday mornings.

Fire Safety

There are smoke/CO2 detectors in both bedrooms. A fire extinguisher can be found to the left of the fridge

Breaker/ Fuse Box

The fuse box is located outside the house (to the left if you are looking at the front of the house) on the wall by the patio.

Climate Control- Heat and A/C

The house is equipped with central air and heat: the thermostat is to the right of the television in the living room.

Since Santa Fe is a high desert climate many of our guests (along with us!) opt to leave the windows open-- especially at night when the temperature drops deliciously. Whichever option you choose: please do not run the A.C./Heat with the windows open.

Fireplace

The indoor fireplace will be turned off from May15-Oct 15. If you decide to build a fire outside of that time, please use the metal bucket outside of the house for the ash when you are done. You can use the outdoor fireplace any time of year. Don’t forget to open the flue! (Reach in and up into the fireplace, grab the metal lever, pull towards you for open, push back for closed) 


To build a fire in the fireplace please follow these steps:

Step 1: Make sure the chimney flue draft is opened, so you can get some airflow up the chimney (and not out into the room).

Step 2: Gather your tinder/kindling materials and make a loose pile in the very back of the fireplace.

Step 3: Stack your wood around the kindling in a teepee shape. Don’t put too much in because you want air flowing under and around the sticks, so they’ll ignite and stay lit.

Step 4: Light the kindling, and (if needed) blow on the fire gently. Then slightly open a window, or otherwise to ensure you have fresh air coming into the room to replace what the fire is using up.

Step 5: Tend it by adding more wood as the existing sticks collapse.

Step 6: Never leave an open fire unattended

BBQ Grill

The outdoor charcoal grill can be used all year. Please do not burn wood or other foreign materials, and never leave it unattended.


Extra Services

A range of options including wine, breakfast, baby equipment, etc. is available here . Find what you like and just let us know. We will make sure it is prepared for your arrival.

Things to Do

Late Night Fun


Spas

Ten Thousand waves is a world class Japanese style spa, less than twenty minutes from your residence! Enjoy the public baths or rent a private tub. Massages and various other treatments are available. Their restaurant, Izanami, is fabulous and serves izakaya small plates for sharing.

Ojo Caliente is about an hour or so north and boasts one of the oldest hot spring spas in the country. Historic, peaceful, and beautiful, this full-service spa is a must-see for folks interested in a day of pampering.


Horseback Riding

Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu offers trail rides through some of Northern New Mexico’s most scenic panoramas. The guides are well versed in the history of the property, from the early outlaws who settled there, to Georgia O’Keeffe’s legacy, not to mention prehistoric history that came before, and movie trivia that followed after (many movies have been filmed at Ghost Ranch). No experience necessary! The ranch is about an hour and fifteen minutes North.


The Santa Fe Ski Basin is about thirty minutes away. You can rent equipment at Alpine Sports in town or wait until you get to the mountain.


For some out of town fun, Taos is a beautiful hour and a half drive North West, and Albuquerque is about 45 minutes South. Both offer tastes of New Mexico not found anywhere else!
