About this property

Dark Sky Retreat Near Santa Fe

  • Welcome to Fenix Azul, your next romantic getaway, friends retreat, or family adventure with stargazing in the heart of the high desert. Soak up the private views from every window and enjoy BBQing from the deck while watching the sunset, then sit back and marvel at the stars and Milky Way. If you appreciate dark skies, this is the place for you! We even provide a telescope for your explorations of the cosmos! Imagine yourself relaxing and drinking your favorite beverage after shopping Canyon Road, and hiking the spectacular trails around Santa Fe. This charming 1700 sq.ft home is tastefully designed to give you a true Santa Fe experience with old school brick floors, two inviting kiva fireplaces (flameless candles only) and traditional viga ceilings. Come and enjoy numerous furnishings collected from nearby Santa Fe that deliver a New Mexico vibe. Newly landscaped yard and heating and cooling, freshly renovated kitchen and bathroom all make this property a pleasurable vacation experience. Fenix Azul has two living areas, each with their own candlelit fireplace. There's two master bedrooms (very firm queen/medium firm king) that share a bathroom and both have a private patio. An additional hallway bathroom is next to the third bedroom (soft queen). The three beds offer versatility for sleepers. There's also two single airbeds available. This gem sits on over an acre of land with large juniper trees protecting your privacy and offering a sanctuary for wildlife. There's plenty of hiking/running trails nearby as well as bike paths that travel throughout the community. The Rails To Trails runs right through Eldorado, going from the cute little town of Lamy all the way to Santa Fe. Galisteo Basin Preserve offers great hiking and is only a short drive. It's approximately a 25 minute drive to Santa Fe Plaza and 54 minutes to Ski Santa Fe.

    The kitchen is fully stocked with the necessary tools to cook your favorite meal or perhaps try a local recipe from one of our cookbooks. The kitchen was renovated in 2020 and has all new stainless steel appliances and custom cabinets.

    The whole house is yours except the detached garage. There is a large circle driveway so there's parking available up to four vehicles.

Great place outside of town with privacy and great views. We enjoyed a relaxing stay and would return again. Host was very quick to respond and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. Appreciate the comfortable and sufficient accommodations for our multiple day stay. We enjoyed nearby attractions but made sure to have time to rest on site.

Excellent, convenient, clean

This was my second time at the property, and it was excellent yet again. We love the location. It's convenient to get to downtown Santa Fe, but also feels like its own quiet space out of the way of the bustle. Catherine is an excellent host, and very easy to get in touch with. We hope to be back again.

A fun encouraging stay for the weekend.

It was a pleasant couple of days in the peaceful Phoenix Azul house. We love sitting on the patio at night and enjoying the mountains in the distance with the sun going down. The back living room also gives us a chance to drink coffee and play games while having the scenic outdoors in view from the big windows. Everything is kept well and neat in this place. A great retreat-type setting. We will be back.

Quiet and beautiful

We loved the quiet neighborhood and the view of the mountains. Without street lights at night it felt like we were out in the country. It was still close enough for us to go into Santa Fe several times and we enjoyed hiking close by.

Vacation

Beautiful house with a beautiful view. The house was decorated beautifully and so comfortable. My only suggestion is that the room next to the kitchen needs shades on the windows to keep the room cooler. But overall loved everything about the house❤️

Beautiful moonrises, sunsets and starry skies

This was our second stay at Fenix Azul, and a longer rental of around 3 weeks. The house is immaculately clean and well appointed with plenty of well-selected kitchen supplies for cooking. It's a peaceful ~20min drive to Santa Fe downtown; but there is a local grocery store nearby with all of our favorites. There are also some cute, well-rated restaurants nearby and a gas station. The house is situated between two distant mountain ranges and has a huge tryptic of picture windows in the living room. We ended up doing a lot in that room watching nature and clouds move by, all throughout the day. The beds are very comfortable with high quality linen. Heating and cooling units in each room. It definitely has a vacation feel and is spacious and comfortable enough for remote working. We also had the opportunity to connect with the owner and swap stories, and she is a delight. We look forward to connecting again.

Fenix Azul was an exceptional place to stay during our trip to Santa Fe. The decor and furniture is so lovely and lends a perfect Southwest flavor to the experience. The location is great if you want to be in nature but still be within driving distance to town. It was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We would highly recommend this house to someone visiting Santa Fe.

Home-away-home in the heart of nature near a world-class city

We were delighted with our stay at Fenix Azul. The home is thoughtfully appointed with what is needed to make it our home away from home. Then there is the setting at the western end of the Eldorado neighborhood - wow! It is hard to find quiet and dark like this in a development so close to a world-class city - with awesome vistas and hiking just outside your door. We'll be back!

Comfortable and Charming

We enjoyed our 4 night stay here. We found everything comfortable and clean. Cute little kitchen/sitting area with lovely views out the big windows. Didnt use the outside deck because it was too cold but it looked very inviting. Instructions were clear and good communication with the host. A great stay. Thank you!

Adorable, beautiful, clean

Well stocked, thoughtful amenities, comfortable beds. The scenery and landscaping were beautiful. We could see stars forever, and Milky Way was perfectly clear in the pitch dark night sky. The host made things easy as well. Most importantly, it was clean!!!
