Santa Fe Vacation Rental Considerations

Santa Fe, New Mexico is an excellent place to look for a vacation rental. Art lovers in particular will find a wide variety of museums in the city, including the Museum of International Folk Art located less than two miles from the center of town and the New Mexico Museum of Art situated in the downtown area. From there, tourists can easily walk to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum of Art, where they will find large format paintings of flowers and the New Mexico landscape produced by this local artist.

Santa Fe is also a significant city in United States history. Once a Spanish settlement and then a Mexican one, a colonial flavor is still evident in the architecture of the city, which mixes Spanish and pueblo styles. The architecture is beautiful all year round, but looks particularly well during the Christmas season when traditional Christmas lights, consisting of a short candle inside a paper bag, are placed along major walkways and on balconies, making the city light up at night.

The Saint Francis Cathedral is another popular attraction, Built in 1886 in the Romanesque style, it offers midnight mass on Christmas eve as well as regular services and programs throughout the year.

Winters in Santa Fe can be cold and snowy while summers can give you a taste of the authentic American Southwest. Summer temperatures are high, so tourists visiting at that time of year should consider looking for vacation homes that include pools.
