Historic & Modern: Adobe Arabella offers authentic Santa Fe charm with century old Pueblo Revival architecture and quintessential New Mexican design elements such as wood burning kiva fireplaces, viga ceilings, private courtyards with soothing fountains, and a traditional portal-covered patio. Totally renovated three times since 2008, this modern vacation rental features lofty, natural light-filled rooms and an open floor plan with plenty of space for cooking, dining and entertaining. Luxurious green design (eco-friendly, nontoxic materials and furnishings) and user- friendly amenities throughout the home pamper the most discriminating travelers.
Antiques and contemporary décor mingle in a whimsical marriage of design and adventure. Original design+built furnishings (many commissioned with local Santa Fe artists and designers) and tastefully restored mid-century modern furniture with collection of art.
Unwind in two enclosed, private outdoor areas with gardens, fountains, dining, lounging and grilling. The portals, patio, seamless inside/outside flow and lofty ceiling heights create an open, expansive feeling yet ensure your total privacy.

Thick adobe walls regulate internal temperatures on the warmest and coolest days as they have for centuries. Large windows, skylights and multiple exterior doors permit generous air circulation and ample sunlight. This reduces dependence on artificial air and lighting systems while favoring natural comfort over energy consumption. During crisp winter days passive solar warms Adobe Arabella.
