Smuggler’s Rest

The Southeast


Externally this stuccoed place channels downtown Santa Fe. Inside are tidy self-contained studios and two-bedroom family apartments. The owners have bikes, fishing rods and old golf clubs for guests to play with, and there's a free laundry and a BBQ out the back. Check out the rhododendrons!
