I live alone in a beautiful adobe house hand-built by a famous sculptor. The original part of the house is 250 years old. An "acequia" (irrigation ditch) bubbles next to the house all summer long, and it is surrounded by 100-yr-old Cottonwood trees. It is located a 20 minute drive from the heart of old Santa Fe, New Mexico in the historic little farming village of La Cienega.
I am the President of a Non-Profit organization that does conflict resolution all over the world. I love to meet new people and have them experience the romance and history of New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment!

About the Area
My house is located 1/2 mile off Interstate Highway 25, so it's very easy to drive into Santa Fe, only 15 miles North. Our little village is semi-rural, and you will pass cows and horses. There are two organic farms on my road. The house is on a bluff overlooking Cienega Creek.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
