quiet and beautiful place offering a home base for vacationers who enjoy both the ambiance of rural Northern New Mexico and the cultural offerings of the Santa Fe area. Rancho Jacona's vacation rental casitas and casas are fully equipped. You need bring only your groceries and personal needs. Each casita and casa is a pueblo-style adobe home, cheerfully decorated and comfortably furnished, with
patio or
terrace. Rancho Jacona does not provide daily maid service. Jacona guests are provided with very clean, warmly welcoming and comfortable vacation houses; casitas; in which guests look after themselves. Rancho Jacona doesn't wash the dishes or pick up after the pets or children. Rancho Jacona provides no food except the fresh eggs that are usually available, chickens willing. If guests are not in the mood to cook or to
barbecue on the
grill provided at each casita, where better than Santa Fe to grab a simple taco or pause for hours over a gourmet
dinner created by Santa Fe chefs' exceptional
cuisine.
Air Conditioning and Summer and Winter Temperatures at Santa Fe. Each casita and casa has an
air conditioning system for the hottest days of the summer. Most guests never turn them on as adobe houses cool down at night and, if closed during the day, stay cool all day long. Nonetheless, the systems are there, waiting for guests' needs. In the summer, the temperature is warm and dry - averaging 56º at night and 86º during the day. Shade brings the temperature down and the adobe houses bring it down even further. As Rancho Jacona sits at 5300 ft. elevation, the evenings are almost always cool and frequently downright chilly. In the winter months, the sun is hard and strong and, while the nights and shoulders of day can be freezing at between 16 and 26 degrees, the mid-day temperature is between 43 and 66 degrees. What Is In The Rental Casitas and Casas. All houses are centrally heated and, in the summer, with
air conditioning. All have dishwashers, garbage disposers, full sized stoves and
refrigerators,
coffee makers, toasters, washer dryers,
hair dryers,
barbecue grills,
kitchen utensils, all linens, all paper products including
coffee filters,
toilet paper, paper towels, tissues; all soap products, including dishwasher powder, liquid dish soap, hand soap,
bath soap, clothes washer soap; matching sets of dishes, glasses, including wine glasses, etc.; utensils, including cork screws, juicers, cooking spoons, spatulas, etc.; good knives that are regularly sharpened, pot holders, dish towels, stainless steel cookware, Teflon frying pans, stock pot, roaster, etc.. If it isn't in your house, we can probably provide it from the main house
kitchen. All houses have cooling systems for those days that need it. All houses have
one bathroom except for Frog and Rabbit, which have two, and Butterfly which has four. We do not provide charcoal, personal
toiletries or groceries, except for freebie fresh eggs, as available, from our own chickens. All casitas and casas have the traditional adobe fireplaces. Lighting fires in these fireplaces is a skill that must be acquired. Be sure to read the instructions in the Rancho Jacona information book as the resulting smoke from an ill-laid fire will be an unpleasant and costly experience. We provide firewood for evening fires in cold months only. All Santa Fe Vacation Rentals -- Three Or More Days.
