This luxurious, secluded, yet centrally located tract of about 15 spacious one- and-two-bedroom vacation rentals is located on a hill just north of Downtown. Kitchens are especially impressive in these units, which also have kiva-style fireplaces, patios with gas grills, washers and dryers, and plenty of off-street parking. Rates run from about $1,750 to $2,300 per week in summer (and about one-third less the rest of the year).
Rooms in this reasonably priced 1873 adobe compound have handmade and hand-painted furnishings, Navajo weavings, brick and hardwood floors, sand paintings and pottery, locally carved santos (Catholic saints), and Western art. All have kiva fireplaces and private entrances, and many have kitchens. Breakfast is served in the convivial main dining room with lots of fresh fruits and yogurt, baked goods, cereals, coffee, and teas, but the standout features are red chile pork tamales and hearty green chile chicken stew. The Plaza and the Railyard District are both a short walk away.
