Beautiful location and well stocked home!
This place was exactly what we needed for our family’s stay in Santa Fe. Close to the plaza, and within an easy drive to everything else! The outside seating areas were wonderful in the afternoon sun. The house was so clean and the kitchen had all the necessities to make a home cooked meal. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

Christmas in Santa Fe
The house was sprinkled with Holiday spirit. It was quite lovely. The house was warm and inviting upon arrival except I forgot about the alarm and sent my sister running to the garage for the alarm code. Ellie called to make sure everything was okay.The house was well equipped and provided us what we needed to enjoy the stay. One thing I would like to touch on is the fireplace. I have a wood burning fireplace at home and am completely comfortable using one. I followed the instructions with regards to the damper, however the house still became smoky. We turned on the light switch next to the fireplace. I don’t know if that was connected to the fireplace but it seemed to help pull the smoke up and out. We let the fire die and we didn’t use it again. We loved the house and the closeness to town and Canyon Road. I hope we will be able to come back and enjoy the house again next year!Thank you for sharing your home with us.

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.

True gem in Santa Fe
We stayed at Ellie’s for two weeks and had a wonderful time. The location is perfect—walking distance from both downtown and the rail yard. The house is beautiful, with lovely outdoor space. The kitchen is well equipped and a joy to cook in. Plenty of room for us, with three adults and two kids. The beds were really comfortable. We had to work while we were there and the Internet was excellent, with lots of different spaces to work from. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

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.

Absolutely Perfect
Four of us booked Ellie's Place for three nights. We were going to the Santa Fe Opera. We have stayed in motels and a rancho north of the opera. But Ellie's Place has been the best of them all. It had that Santa Fe ambience decoratively and perfectly fit the four of us. The neighborhood was quiet and we all slept soundly. We oooed and ahhhed from the moment we walked in. Often, we found ourselves gathering around the kitchen island and just talking or reading the opera program or figuring out where to have breakfast. We normally tailgate at the opera. But the second night it rained and we ate on the upper patio, deciding that we might do this again next year instead of tailgating. All in all, we had a perfect stay.

The Museums on the Hill are less than a a two minute drive! The home was exactly like the photo's but better! Very quiet & safe neighborhood!

Ellie's for several days
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ellie's. The location is in a quiet neighborhood south of the capitol within walking distance of the plaza and other key destinations (El Chile Toreado and Sage bakery!).
The house is beautifully decorated. It felt welcoming, homey and comfortable.
The owner, Reina, was very responsive and provided detailed information so check-in was a breeze. We also appreciated that she contacted us on the day of arrival to let us know the house was ready several hours before the stated check-in time of 3pm.
We look forward to staying at Ellie's on our next visit to Santa Fe.
