Rio Communities Vacations from $695

Tucked just far enough off the plaza to escape the siren song of low-gear tourist traffic, the Inn at Vanessie exists in that sweet, intentional pocket of Santa Fe: close enough to inhale the distant, wood-fired scent of downtown, but blissfully removed from its midday clamor. It is less of a hotel and more of a quiet, sun-baked refuge where the frantic pace of the modern world simply dissolves into the high-desert air. The Spirit of the Space: Stepping onto the grounds feels like inheriting a well-kept secret. With only a handful of exclusive keys to go around, the property completely bypasses the anonymous, bustling energy of larger resorts. Instead, it offers an intimate layout that feels like staying at the private compound of a well-traveled, quietly affluent uncle—the kind who understands that luxury is best delivered without a neon sign. The aesthetic is pure Southwestern poetry, balancing authentic rustic charm with a distinct, old-money. What Sets the Sanctuary Apart Generous Proportions: The rooms here don't merely accommodate; they breathe. The layout offers sprawling, expansive square footage that mirrors the wide-open New Mexico skies, giving you ample space to unpack both your luggage and your thoughts.

Couldn't operate the TV in the living room. Staff came to help but as soon as they left I couldn't operate the TV again. Some paint needed in the bathroom next to the tub. Ants in the kitchen. Walked to the city center and square. Overall it was very enjoyable. I would stay there again.

Staff is so friendly and service is excellent!

This was a resort property that had a restaurant /dining room that had awesome food and reasonable prices. It was quite convenient. The maintenance office was very responsive to a problem we had initially with the AC. Laurie (Lorrie?) was super helpful. The unit we rented (312) had an underground garage parking spot right next to the elevator. Also very convenient. The unit itself had every amenity you could want including a full Xfinity TV cable lineup. The report also has an executive golf course with very reasonable rates for vacationers to play. My only complaint (very minor) was that there was not really a separate bedroom TV. There was a monitor that you could watch whatever the person in the living room was watching...but no way to get separate channels.. Overall I highly recommend this resort to anyone who wants a comfortable resort-style experience in Santa Fe.

Checkin was horrible. They just had a fire and were moving the check in to our side of the Hotel. Check in person made it very confusing. Pool and the hot tub were closed due to fire and the gym was very worn and outdated.
