Experience sunrises and sunsets as you've never seen before. Night is especially magical in North Hills. In the summer, sit outside on your private portal listening to the wind sighing in the piñons. Gaze at stars so bright you can almost touch them. Hear the howl of coyotes in far-off hills and, in between, a serene and profound silence unique to the high desert country of northern New Mexico. In the winter, build a roaring fire in the kiva and snuggle in with a book, music or television or just listen in silence to the crackling fire. Cielito Lindo is a place to reconnect - with yourself and with the world around you. Situated on a hilltop off a quiet street with private parking, Cielito Lindo offers a cosy, romantic getaway that features a large living room complete with a Kiva fireplace, 50" TV, and stereo system.

It is in a great location that allows quick access to central Santa Fe but was also wonderful when we opted to have a night in. Quiet area with a lot of privacy. We took long walks in the mornings along the very low traffic roads. The extra futon was very comfortable and we loved the fireplace and sunset view from the backyard. Owners were excellent with all communication. ##### Kris K.

It was very quiet with sunset views. It was super easy to drive to the plaza. The owners were super helpful. They found out that we liked to hiked and they gave us a lot of suggestions as to where to go. Don’t be bashful to ask them for suggestions. They have some good ones. We enjoyed a fire in the kiva while we watched a movie and relaxed after a long day. Definitely will come back next time we go to Santa Fe! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joyce H.

I loved the open and airy feel, with lots of windows and natural light. It had excellent internet connection for my online course. Beautiful trees and landscaping, and very private. Great location just outside the busyness of Santa Fe, but a quick, easy drive to town. The owners, Chris and Marie, were so delightful and friendly. They responded quickly to communication, and were helpful and accommodating. I've stayed in quite a few different rentals in Santa Fe, and this is by far my new favorite. I look forward to staying here again. ##### Joyce H. Stayed 8 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judy and Michael B.

In a previous reviews we described in detail all the wonderful reasons why we enjoyed our stay. One again our hosts, Chris and Marie, made every effort to make our stay comfortable. The day before we were scheduled to begin our drive back home a spring snow storm hit Santa Fe and the surrounding region. Chris and Marie offered another night in the casita so the storm could pass through so we would leave a day later making our drive safer. Plus, supplying us with pinon wood, kindling, and fire starters so we could enjoy a cozy fire in the Kiva fireplace. This speaks volumes about the Howson’s. One could not ask for more thoughtful, kind hosts. If you are looking to enjoy a restful, renewing experience with all the beauty that Santa Fe and the surrounding area offers then look no further than the delightful Peaceful Hilltop Casita. Once again, kudos to Chris and Marie. ##### Judy and Michael B. Stayed 12 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael B.

It is incredibly private you never feel like you are being watched. The check-in is smooth and easy and the casita itself is wonderful. The outside area is great for a glass of wine with stunning New Mexico sunsets. The owners are very helpful and have great suggestions for the area. They even lent me a couple of books for the area. The neighborhood is excellent and my wife loved running on the hilly roads. It is close to the wonderful downtown plaza area and to the roadway to the ski area and a bunch of great hikes all along the road. Excellent people, great homey casita with almost everything you need for your stay, and a phenomenal location. We will be back! ##### Michael B.

We didn't know what to expect, but Cielito Lindo exceeded whatever expectations we had. Only 5 minutes by car from the main attractions in the center of the tourist area of Santa Fe and the shopping areas, it was nevertheless "above it all". Up in the hills, nestled into pinon pines and high desert shrubs, the air was fresh and clean with deep quiet and solitude. The inside of the property included a well-stocked, easy to use kitchen as well as a comfortable living room with large screen TV and a working fireplace. There was also a small office/desk area. But the highlight was the outdoor spaces. One was right outside the sliding door to the living area, with a little breakfast table and 4 chairs. The other was a bit hidden-- two comfortable Adirondack plastic chairs a few steps beyond, perfectly placed to watch the sunset. There was even a small table to place your snacks and drinks as you enjoy the theater of it all. Parking was easy, entry was even easier, and the hosts were informative and welcoming. The perfect place to enjoy a short or longer visit to Santa Fe and the surrounding areas. ##### Marsha W.
