Location: Private Homes, Downtown, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA (Just Steps to Georgia O'Keeffe, Plaza, Convention Center)
Accommodations: Guest House, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 1-2)
Romantic, exquisite and only two blocks from Santa Fe Plaza, 1/2 block to the new Santa Fe Convention Center! Tucked away in an historic downtown Santa Fe neighborhood is McKenzie House. Relax and enjoy Santa Fe at its finest. Just steps away from the Plaza and major attractions including Spanish Market, Indian Market and other world-class events, you can treat yourself in downtown Santa Fe. We are just 1/2 block from the new convention center, host to many major events including INDIAN MARKET, Spanish Market and various conventions and meetings. You just cannot be closer unless you slept in the lobby!
This very special, newly remodeled and private guest house is located in the heart of the historic and quiet McKenzie Street neighborhood. We are the closest residential home north of the Plaza! Better than a hotel and more space than a b and b, you have your own fully equipped "casita" (little house) and central location to enjoy the many sights and activities of Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico.
Our comfortable and luxuriously relaxing cottage is freestanding and separate from our main home, both sanctioned historically significant structures by the City of Santa Fe. Our main home was built circa 1915, the casita was the original carriage house. McKenzie House is an intimate (approx. 350 sq. ft.) accomodation with every attention to detail.
Lovingly redesigned in 2001 to include both old world charms and contemporary amenities, including a jacuzzi hottub, flat-screen tv/dvd, full kitchen, washer/dryer, and kiva fireplace, even high speed wireless internet! Past guests have described our casita as "peaceful", "relaxing" and "extremely convenient". Many guests have commented, "you have thought of everything!" (See more guest comments on the link below.)
Experience the excitement and charm of Santa Fe in the comforts of your own private neighborhood. Dine at your leisure in your contemporary kitchen or the numerous world class restaurants within easy walking distance, relax by the kiva fireplace or in your private outdoor hot tub and patio, and stroll to the many sights and adventures of the Santa Fe Plaza.
Take a short drive up the mountain to the Santa Fe ski area and magnificent hiking. Perfect for the many activities that happen downtown, such as the Chamber Music Festival, Spanish Market, Indian Market (also just two blocks away), Fiestas, etc. Sweeney Convention Center is one short block away. Private parking, locking front gate and a beautiful southwestern garden are yours! So come, stay and relax.
We have equipped our casita with all the amenities that will make your stay with us as pleasant as possible: a romantic kiva fireplace, direct dial phone that lets you stay in touch with the outside world, adjustable ceiling fan for a cool breeze, big fluffy towels for your hot tub and shower, and specialty soaps and shampoos to pamper you. Comfortable bathrobes and a hairdryer are furnished so you can leave yours at home.
Cable television will bring the world to you on a state of the art Panasonic 15.2" LCD flat panel screen with DVD for movies (many provided), as well as high speed wireless internet (accessible with a card), and/or a separate telephone jack for your laptop- if you decide to bring it with you!
We love Santa Fe and its rich culture, and you will be able to see this not only in the beautiful southwestern art and handicrafts with which we decorate our casita but also in your private garden and patio.
Our casita comes complete with all amenities including:
- your own private jacuzzi hot tub on a beautiful and private deck
