Casa Chamisa is located in the Museum Hill neighborhood of Santa Fe. This area is close to downtown Santa Fe, and is very quiet with beautiful views of nearby mountains including Sun Mountain. Sprawling haciendas and large property lots with old trees make this one of the most desirable areas in Santa Fe.
Museum Hill is home to world-renowned museums including the Museum of International Folk Art, the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian, the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture as well as the Santa Fe Botanical Garden.
We do recommend renting a car. If you are flying into the ABQ airport, there are many options available. If you are flying into the Santa Fe airport, Hertz is available on-site. Many places in downtown are walking distance from the house, but if you would like to explore outside of Santa Fe, having a car is essential.
Uber and Lyft do offer a convenient and affordable way to get around Santa Fe.
There is a bus-stop located on Alameda Street which is just down the street, and it is a short ride to downtown.
Rental bikes are also a great way to get around and explore Santa Fe. There is a large network of paved pedestrian and bicycle trails. More info and trail maps can be downloaded from the city of Santa Fe's website. Mello Vello is located nearby, and they have different types of bikes to fit your specific needs--whether you plan on mountain biking, just cruising around town, or to do some serious road biking.
There is a train that runs from Belen to Santa Fe with stops in Albuquerque and everywhere in between. Unfortunately it is not located close to the airport, but it is a fun way to travel up and down the state of New Mexico.
