Santa Fe is a hip and artsy city that lies where the desert meets the forest in New Mexico. This is a prime place to be for art events, gallery openings, music concerts, and food festivals. You can make your stay in town even more authentic and memorable by staying in a local Airbnb. Although there are so many unique properties to choose from, here are nine hand-selected Airbnbs to consider in Santa Fe.
Santa Fe Style Casita
Everyone loves to be near the Canyon Road Arts District in Santa Fe, and this property will put you right there with mountain views from the rooftop deck. This is an adobe-style casita that has a breakfast nook, covered porch, sunroom, small kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom with a shower. Guests who stay here also love the koi pond, gas fireplace, gas grill, and patio in the back. The casita is connected to the main house but is still private and has its own entrance. Fine dining and hiking trails are nearby. This is a good choice for couples who want a cozy, romantic, and convenient place to stay while exploring Santa Fe.
Turquoise Trail-er with Sunsets and Llamas
For a truly unique place to stay in Santa Fe, why not book this cute 1971 vintage travel trailer for your overnight accommodations? This Airbnb is highly rated and close to Meow Wolf, parks, shops, and restaurants. Stay here for a glamping experience or for a romantic couple’s getaway. Solo adventurers also enjoy staying here and watching the sunset from the shaded deck. Better yet, the trailer is at a llama ranch that is peaceful but still close to downtown Santa Fe.

There’s a full kitchen, pool, sauna, gym, biodynamic garden, and greenhouse here. The hot tub is open year-around, while the pool is seasonal.
