  • We chose Casita Elena to be our base on a 5 day motorcycle adventure and found it to be absolutely perfect. The off-street parking and convenient location were great, and our first impression of the interior was that it was charming and very welcoming. It was a lovely walk to the downtown area but if we wanted to stay in we felt we had all the comforts of our own home. The washer/dryer really came in handy as we had limited luggage capacity on the bike. We really enjoyed all the healthy breakfast goodies we found on our arrival. Linda is a fabulous host, anticipating your every need. Casita Elena is the benchmark for VRBO's..we'll be back!

  • We stayed in Casita Elena for 4 nights in July 2009 and couldn't have been more pleased with the property. It is a charming place to stay, tastefully decorated and stocked to make your stay as convenient as possible. The personal touches such as a welcome bottle of wine, music, and breakfast supplies are definitely a plus. Casita Elena is a short walk to the Plaza and convenient to highway access. We definitely will stay here again.

  • We stayed at Casita Elena for four nights recently during the Oil Painters of America exhibition and conference. We were so pleased with everything...the furnishings were so beautiful and comfortable. Our meetings were held at a hotel on the Plaza which was just a short walk away from the casita. The owner was so pleasant and called to find out our favorite breakfast items, tea and coffee, which were stocked and waiting for us along with a bottle of wine to welcome us. My husband had to work quite a bit during our trip and having the internet available right there was great. Casita Elena is beautiful, comfortable and very romantic...We will definitely stay here again if it is available next time we come to Santa Fe!

  • We spent a Spring weekend at Casa Elena. It's a great location, just a short walk to Canyon Road and town centre. The apartment is ideal -- welcoming and warm, luxurious without being stuffy. We're definitely looking forward to our next visit.

  • My husband and I have stayed in Casita Elena on three separate occasions. On two visits we focused on the Santa Fe Opera Festival. For the other visit - which we made in June of 2008, we brought our entire family (three adult children and one partner, all in their twenties and thirties) for a week long visit. We stayed in Casita Elena and they stayed next door in Casa Colores. It was the perfect setup for all of us. WE CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HOW GREAT THIS LITTLE CASITA IS! Linda and Tim are the most gracious hosts and the place itself is totally charming and couldn't be more convenient for walking to the Plaza or driving out of town into the beautiful area around Santa Fe. We definitely will be visiting again!

  • My wife and I stayed at Casita Elena for just over 2 weeks in July and it was great. We could not have asked for a better location or nicer place to stay. I truly look forward to staying there again.

  • We enjoyed our 3 night stay in this charming casita. Just blocks from the plaza, and withing walking distance to museums and restaurants, this is an ideal place for couples visiting Santa Fe. Fruit and chocolate added a nice touch and the magazines and brochures were useful. This place has a great ambience and we would definitely stay here again.

  • I've stayed in other B&B's in the west and southwest and Casita Elena ranks at the top of my list. A very short walk to town, the location is perfect! But location isn't everything. It's the type of place that feels like it could be a second home the minute you walk through the door. After a day exploring Santa Fe's treasures, I looked forward to relaxing at my little retreat. It had everything I needed (including a washer/dryer). I was missing only one thing. When making my tea, I realized that there was no honey. One call to the proprietor and the honey appeared in minutes! I highly recommend Casita Elena to anyone visiting the Santa Fe area.

  • Fabulous place - very comfortable, very southwest, very easy walk to the plaza, tons of information about Santa Fe (shopping & dining), an overall wonderful experience. If we find ourselves back this way again we'll certainly want to stay at "Casita Elena" Thank you Linda & Tim for making our stay in Santa Fe that much more enjoyable!!
