The Experience

The home is located right on the Santa Fe River which gives guests immediate access to day hiking, playing in the water and listening to the sounds of river water flowing, all within steps of back yard. The home is also equipped with four bikes and helmets for guest use.

Added in the winter of 2021, a brand new hot tub and fire pit area in the fully fenced backyard add to the guest experience.

Dale Ball Trails: The Dale Ball Trail system is a 22 mile network of trails in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. These trails are popular for hiking and mountain biking and the trail heads are accessible by foot from the home. The trails offer great opportunities for beginners and advanced hikers/bikers alike, along with amazing views of the surrounding. Best new is dogs are allowed. You can make your loop as short or as long as you want: for example Loop 1,2,3 takes me about 1hr 15 min. This trail is very beginner friendly and not very technical.

Randall Davey Audubon Center & Sanctuary: The Audubon center is less than a mile walk from the home. Ranging from common to rare, approximately 190 species of birds can be found in or over the various ecosystems of this sanctuary. The sanctuary is free to the public and we have a few pairs of binoculars for use at the home to take with you.

The Neighborhood
Looking for that old Santa Fe charm? Welcome to the Historic Eastside neighborhood. Winding, unpaved roads lead to wildflower-filled gardens and classic adobe homes. Locals around here take pride in two things: their dirt roads and tall gardens. Odds are, your neighbor will have the best tomato patch you’ve ever seen, and quite possibly a small rabbit farm.

Walkability is the name of the game here. With proximity to Canyon Road arts district and downtown, you’ll hit that 10,000 daily step goal by midday. Sweet cafes, bookstores and upscale dining are just a stone’s throw away. Window shop over 80 art galleries on our famous Canyon Road. Feel like stretching your legs? Take a quick bike ride to the Plaza! Or grab a pair of binoculars and head over to the nearby Audubon.

A Day In The Life
Welcome to Canyon River!

Odds are, you’ve arrived late afternoon. Take it easy while you settle in. Maybe visit local bodega Kaune’s for the essentials; it’s just a 10 minute drive from here. This locally owned business has everything you need- from authentic New Mexico green chile to your favorite breakfast cereal!

Down the road, happy hour at El Farol is calling. Order a Prickly Pear Margarita and some freshly made chicharones. You’ll be feeling like a local in no time!

We recommend starting your mornings off at Downtown Subscription (an 8 minute drive), located at the corner of Garcia St and Acequia Madre. Pick up coffee and pastries for the house, or take a quiet morning for yourself with a latte and the paper.

Now that you’ve had your morning cup of joe, you’ve got the energy to take on those great outdoors! The Dale Ball Trailhead is a quick five minute walk away. Whether hiking, mountain biking or going for a trail run, these trails are perfect for beginners and advanced hikers alike.

Head west on Canyon Road and you’ll find yourself at brunch mecca, otherwise known as The Teahouse. With hundreds of teas to choose from, not to mention their stellar selection of eggs benedict- it’s no wonder locals and visitors alike love this place. Snag a seat on the sunny patio, order the strawberry shortcake and enjoy the people watching.

Santa Fe is known for its fantastic local art scene, and there’s no better place to start than Canyon Road. From Native American to contemporary, this street offers some of the world’s finest art collections. If you’re looking for souvenirs- pop into Marcy Street Card Shop, with a great selection of gifts as well as locally made art cards.
When it comes to world class dining, our town doesn’t disappoint! Dinner at Geronimo (10 minute drive) is a must while you’re here. Enjoy lobster, elk tenderloin and more circa this warm and elegant 1756-adobe home.

If you feel like staying in, a home-cooked meal is all too easy to prepare in the chef’s kitchen. A quick trip to the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market will fetch the best in local produce! Take a sunset hike around the grounds, or relax in your private garden with a glass of wine. Our world-famous, wide-open skies are ripe for stargazing
