The rooftop deck in the early evening: a canvas umbrella over a table and chairs on a patterned outdoor rug, a gas grill and a stuccoed outdoor kiva fireplace along the parapet, string lights overhead, and the foothills beyond the coyote-pole fence. The front of the compound on a clear day: a tan adobe wall and garage under a mature tree, a carved timber gate through to the courtyard on the left, and a bright sky with scattered cloud above. The deck under fresh snow: every post of the coyote-pole fence capped white, the parapet wall edged in snow, and the valley beyond turned pale to the horizon. The private courtyard at dusk: a teal front door lit warm under its own lamp, a white bistro table and chairs against the adobe wall, and a planter of trailing greenery in the foreground. Sunset from the deck: pink cloud across a wide sky, strings of bulbs overhead, the coyote-pole gate and rail in the foreground, and the tree canopy running out to the horizon.
Santa Fe · New Mexico

A quiet adobe compound, a short walk from the Santa Fe Plaza.

Five adobes behind one wall on a hill above town. One casita we rent by the night, four homes we lease by the year. We took all of them down to the studs in 2022 and rebuilt them: vigas overhead, kiva fireplaces, coyote fencing, a view of the Sangre de Cristos from every one, and the Plaza ten minutes away on foot.

The property

What is Paseo Retreat

Paseo Retreat is a five-unit adobe compound on a quiet, tree-lined hilltop street just north of downtown Santa Fe: 10 minutes on foot to the Plaza, eight minutes from CHRISTUS St. Vincent, and a half hour walk or a six minute drive to Canyon Road's galleries and the Railyard.

Every unit was fully renovated in 2022. Stainless kitchens, granite counters in the long-term homes and restored original wood counters in the casita. Skylights and vaulted ceilings. Coyote-fenced patios. Ductless heating and cooling in every room. In-unit laundry. Garages and dedicated parking.

Whether you're booking a few nights for the Opera, a few months for a hospital assignment, or signing a multi-year lease, this place was built with the same care for everyone who walks through the door.

The casita's main room with a fire lit in the white plaster kiva fireplace, exposed viga ceiling, sofa, wall-mounted television, and a patterned wool rug on wood floors.

    We had a wonderful stay at Andrew's Paseo Retreat! From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much thought and care he had put into creating a comfortable space. He truly is one of the most thoughtful and intentional hosts we've stayed with.

    The retreat had everything we needed and so many touches that made it feel special- from bathrobes, lotion for the dry Santa Fe climate, and dog bowls for our pup Yuki, to a well-equipped kitchen with quality appliances. It felt more like staying in a thoughtfully cared-for home than a typical Airbnb.

    We especially enjoyed the peaceful back deck and the convenience of having a garage. The location was perfect, close to the Plaza in a lovely, quiet neighborhood, making it easy to explore Santa Fe while still feeling relaxed. It was also a great location for us and our pup, Yuki, with Frank Ortiz Dog Park just a short drive away.

    Andrew was an excellent host-kind, responsive, and genuinely caring. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

    Perfect spot to stay while in Santa Fe.

    Property was very comfortable and well thought out. The location was ideal,a-5 minute walk to the plaza. Everything we need for cooking was there. The deck and patio gave us a great outside place to hang out. We have stayed in several places in Santa Fe over the years, but this is our favorite.

    My wife and I stayed for five nights, and we enjoyed our stay. The apartment was spotless and nicely designed. The kitchen was well appointed. The bathroom was large, and the walk-in closet was huge. Although it is a studio apartment, there was enough room for both of us to work without any issues. The Murphy bed also had a great mattress for a comfortable night's sleep. Having a garage, which was also spotless, was very nice to keep our car out of the Santa Fe sun. We have stayed at multiple Airbnb's in Santa Fe, and Andrew's place by far has the best location. It was an easy 10 minute walk to the heart of Santa Fe and the restaurants, shops and galleries. Plus, it was a less than 5 minute walk to gym that offered $5 day passes. Of course, what really makes an Airbnb stay is the host, and Andrew is fantastic. Andrew is the most communicative host we've every had at an Airbnb. He was proactive in providing information on the apartment, as well as Santa Fe. Andrew is top notch.

    Our reply

    Brian, thank you so much for this. It means a lot to hear that you and your wife had such a great stay, and reviews like this are exactly why I love doing this.

    I'm glad the space felt comfortable for both of you to work and relax, and that the garage came in handy for keeping the car out of the sun. The location really is one of my favorite things about the property, so it's great to hear it made getting around Santa Fe so easy.

    Thank you for being such wonderful guests. You're welcome back anytime, and I hope our paths cross again soon.

The thesis

Built once. Built right.

When I bought this place in 2020 every unit needed work, and we did the boring parts rather than the photogenic ones. Electrical, plumbing, roofs, heating and cooling, then kitchens, bathrooms and finishes. Two years of it. Nothing here was made to photograph well and fail later.

You notice it in small ways. The water is hot straight away. The doors shut properly. It is quiet at night. That is the same whether you are here four nights or four years.
