My name is Mo Elliott, and together with my wife and our two little girls, we proudly call the town of Santa Fe, NM, our home. As a retired apparel designer, I've always been drawn to vibrant cultures, unique design, and inspiring surroundings - all of which you can find here, in the heart of Santa Fe.
After an enriching career in the outdoor apparel industry, I am now focusing my creative energy on curating memorable experiences for travelers through short-term rentals. I've always been an ardent traveler myself, with a deep-seated love for exploring the nooks and crannies of the globe. Now, I am excited to bring the magic of travel to you, by creating a welcoming, comfortable, and unique space you can call your own during your Santa Fe visit.
Outside of being an Airbnb host, you can find me exploring the great outdoors, mountain biking on trails, camping under the stars, or just having a picnic with my family in one of Santa Fe's numerous picturesque parks.
As your host, I believe that our interaction will be more than a mere transaction. It's about sharing the warmth, the culture, and the unique charm that Santa Fe has to offer. So, whether you're here for the enchanting landscapes, the rich history, or the bustling art scene, I will strive to make your stay comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable.
