Casa Cuma Bed & Breakfast

The Casa Cuma, within walking distance of Santa Fe's historic center, offers a charming retreat. The living room/common area of the hotel is comfortable and welcoming, with leather chairs around a large fireplace and a beautiful wood dining table. The wood credenzas and cabinets that line the walls are lovely and have intricately carved inlays. Several plants in the room add to the homey vibe. Plenty of art, much of it by local artists, hangs on the walls, including several vibrant paintings of the area.

Casa Cuma also has a beautiful stone patio, where breakfast is served in the warmer months. The B&B's location on a hillside gives a gorgeous view of the surrounding area, with trees, mountains, and historic Santa Fe just below. 

Casa Cuma is in a residential neighborhood not far from the historic heart of Santa Fe. It's on a hillside but not remote -- the property fits beautifully into its natural landscape. Santa Fe Plaza, the historic heart of the city, is within a 15-minute walk. Casa Cuma's owners have designed their own walking tour map to help guests get around town.

There are three rooms and one suite in the main building (two casitas and a house are available nearby), each with its own private entrance. Wooden steps lead up to the three rooms, which also have small patios and chairs. Rooms are individually designed, but all maintain the color and flare emblematic of the area, with colorful comforters, accent walls, and local art. Rooms vary in size -- the Cowgirl Room may look a bit petite, but all the rooms are well-designed so that there's enough room to move around. Bathrooms are not particularly large but are beautifully tiled and include colorful ceramic sinks. The B&B's one suite is similar in style and beauty to the rooms but is much larger, with fireplace stoves and a separate living room and bedroom. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs (ranging in size) and free Wi-Fi.

Casa Cuma offers peace and tranquility near Santa Fe's historic attractions. The owners have decorated it beautifully, with the art and colors the area is known for. A traditional B&B, Casa Cuma serves a hot breakfast (included in the room rate) every morning, and snacks and beverages are available throughout the day. Parking and Wi-Fi are free, and there's an outdoor hot tub for guests' use. Rates may be a bit higher here than at other B&Bs in the area, but the price includes free passes to five state museums. The owners have also designed their own walking tour map for guests, a nice and helpful touch.
