Perfect Location

We stayed here for our mother/daughter trip to Santa Fe. The property was wonderful and really set the mood for our trip. The neighborhood was quiet and it was a nice walk into town. The back patio was perfectly for relaxing at the end of the day. We will definitely look to see if this property is available for any future trips to Santa Fe!

Santa Fe getaway

We stayed at this cute place for a few days leading up to Christmas. Centrally located, we were able to walk to town. The place has a little outdoor area that is private with a chimnea. I would recommend this place if you want to see Santa Fe!

Ideal location for a Santa Fe holiday

Well-appointed property was an ideal location for staging our week of Santa Fe Opera. Easy walk to great restaurants and the Saturday farmer’s market and Sprouts. Staging a dinner party for friends was almost as easy as from our own home. We look forward to making Casa Elena our Santa Fe headquarters again.

Quiet and Comfy!

My sister-in -law and I stayed here on a girl’s trip and it was very quiet and private. It was very clean and well decorated and stocked. There are two parking spaces, which is nice. The parking spaces will not accommodate a long truck, but we had no problems with our cars. There are separate air units in each room that are very quiet. Almost a mile to the square

Charming, Comfortable, Walking Distance to Plaza

Charming Santa Fe decor, comfortable and clean property. Well appointed with everything you need. Walking distance to Santa Fe central plaza, shops, Lensic Performing Arts Center and more. Owner communicated well, check-in and check-out process was easy. Had it not been winter, we would have enjoyed the private outdoor patio. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Cute Adobe in Santa Fe

The photos provide an accurate representation of this cute adobe. We enjoyed our stay and Rebecca was always available to address any concerns/inquiries before, during and after our stay. The only negative we experienced was that there were several patio chairs with disintegrated webbing which could be a liability if one didn't notice when sitting down. Other than that, everything else was fine.

Santa Fe Beauty

This is a fantastic place to stay in Santa Fe! The house is beautifully decorated, unbelievably clean and it has all the necessities to start a long stay. Vivian – the “feet on the ground” was so helpful with answering our questions and troubleshooting. The back yard is completely private which allowed us to eat breakfast in the morning and watch the stars come out at night – in peace. The house is within walking distance of the Plaza, a 2 min drive from a Mall (complete with Sprouts market and a Home Goods store), and near the highway, allowing us to get around and out of Santa Fe remarkably easy. The location is quiet but convenient, and the home is beautiful! Rebecca was also a wonderful host when we ran into issues with COVID – we greatly appreciated her help in rescheduling our trip. We will definitely stay there again on our annual visit to Santa Fe to visit our children.

Cute Casita but cold.

Casita was small but cute, beds were comfy, nice art work all around, well-equipped kitchen, good seating. Unfortunately, the heating system did not function in the main living/dining/kitchen area. Apparently this had been a problem with previous renters and we concluded the manager might have already known. We contacted manager upon arrival. Response was that it was difficult to find person to repair and advised us to open doors of heated bedrooms and let heat emanate into main area and use small (loud) space heaters to complement, making bedrooms unbearably hot or lose privacy. When we left a week later, still no heat in main area. Location was convenient but a week in a cold casita during Christmas was a challenge. Likely will not return to that location in future visits to beautiful Santa Fe.

An ideal location to the Square so we could walk to dinner and shopping and not far for hiking on Bandolier National Monument where we were pleasantly surprised to see cliff dwellings and able to climb the ladders for intimate views inside. We started the morning in pants and changed to shirts for stunning weather. The outdoor space was peaceful and obviously care has been taken with that space and the guests in mind.
