Ellie's

Great location. Very clean, well supplied and great location in historic district. This is an older so main room gets very cool, but bedrooms don't have cooling vents so recommend that bedroom doors are left partially open for better air circulation. Several outdoor patios and small yard area for relaxing and entertaining.

Ellie's is a lovely property, with a spacious, well-equipped kitchen. The cookware and tableware is in great condition. We enjoyed dining in, as well as breakfast and evening cocktails in the garden. The bedding was very comfortable, and we slept very well in the quiet neighborhood. The house is very user-friendly, with helpful labels and instructions where needed. We would definitely like to stay again, upon our next trip to Santa Fe.

Super cool house!

Experience was great from start to finish. The house was beautiful and felt very comfortable. Outdoor areas were lovely with great views. Some days we never even got in the car as many destinations are a short walk. Owners are very helpful and provided fast communication. Would definitely recommend staying at Ellie’s!

Charming house centrally located in Santa Fe

This charming home is in an attractive residential area within walking distance of Santa Fe's downtown tourist sites. We liked the decor, the well stocked kitchen, and the varied outdoor sitting areas. The host had lots of good recommendations, and she was quite accessible. In addition, if you are lacking in ideas of what to do in the area, there are plenty of resources in the common areas of the house to help you plan your sightseeing. The house is comfortable, and you can park on the street as well as in the garage area. Our party consisted of two couples. We had plenty of room, and I would not hesitate to book this house for a future visit. We had a wonderful time. lots of

Great house in a great neighborhood

First time in Santa Fe, we wanted to be in an authentic neighborhood, in an authentic Santa Fe home, that was walkable to all the things to do and close to the plaza. This home was great, lots of space had everything we needed with so many different areas to enjoy within the property inside and out. Also, the pictures don’t do it justice. Host was friendly and responsive when we had a question on the first night, would definitely recommend. Read the property guide when you first arrive so that you understand the property. We are from Georgia and always expect blasting A/C, so we just had to learn about how the house works and how Santa Fe does it. Again, highly recommend! Would stay again!

Lovely stay in Santa Fe

A well maintained and personable home that enhanced our stay in Santa Fe. The location is convenient to everything but is in a quiet and peaceful neeighborhood. The home is well stocked and charmingly decorated in Santa Fe style. We especially enjoyed the three outdoor spaces for relaxing at the end of the day or a cup of coffee in the morning. An A+ property.

Beautiful stay in Santa Fe

We booked this stay for the Indian Market and it was the absolutely perfect property for that! Walking distance to the Plaza and completely quiet, the perfect sanctuary after a busy day at market. This house works perfectly for a group of friends and we felt like it was our home away from home. The host was great at communicating and we had a wonderful stay.

Lovely home in walking distance to old town

Ellie's is a fantastic home with tons of New Mexico charm. I stayed with my wife and three kids 12-16. We loved it. The roll-out bed meant that there are four total beds and every kid got their own bed. The decor and locally themed books are lovely and made us feel very welcome and immersed in Santa Fe. The neighborhood was pretty quiet, and the garage parking was appreciated. Best of all, the house is walkable to the old town plaza area (about a 15 minute walk) as well as several other fun spots (Revolution Bakery, Kakawa chocoaltes). Check-in and check-out were both quite easy with good information and no hard or unusual check-out requirements.We had a great time and would happily stay again.
