Monthly Rentals in Alcalde

We stayed at La Villita for 5 months. During that time, my wife and I had our first baby. This was such a perfect space for starting our family. The house was exactly as described in the listing. We were very comfortable. The ranch is incredibly beautiful and serene. (Fall was our favorite. The yellow cottonwoods are quite special). Location wise, it is an easy 45 minute drive from Santa Fe, Los Alamos, and Taos. There are many beautiful hiking trails throughout the area. If you want organic food or more niche health food items, you have to go into one of the towns mentioned above. However, the nearby town of Española had pretty much all general staples that we would need. What we did not expect was the community we found at La Villita. Debora and Ron, and all the long-term guests we got to know, are all such lovely people who really shaped our experience. La Villita, it's colorful residents, and Northern New Mexico hold a special place in our hearts. We will certainly be back.

The Casita was ADORABLE and had such a clean, comfortable, and peaceful vibe. The grounds around it were beautiful. It was a perfect place for my solo stay. I loved that it was out of town a bit.

Arriving at Mary's Casita there is an immediate sense of coming home. Everything about it feels welcoming and serene: from the architecture and appointment of the casita, to the welcoming baked goods, to the beautiful view of the mountains, and the cheerful chatter and activity of the birds in the yard. Mary's casita is a place to take a deep breath, pause and soak everything in. You will want to keep coming back to this place. This is the spirit of Northern New Mexico at it's best. And it is the perfect location for exploring the many beautiful and interesting places that this Northern part of the state has to offer. Thank you Mary for sharing a part of your world with us.

Loved the place. A quick overnight my son and I. Conveniently located within 5 miles of Ojo hot springs. Comfy beds. Enjoyed the gurgling creek outside and wide open skies.
