About this property

Pristine, art-filled Home 2 blocks to Historic Santa Fe Plaza. Read the reviews!

The Laughing Llama

One of the most spectacular locations with all the dreamy Santa Fe charm!

Completely remodeled, 2 King Bedrooms, 2 Full Baths, only 2 blocks from the historic Santa Fe plaza and ski basin road. This free-standing home is equipped with all the essentials you could need to enjoy your vacation in the heart of Santa Fe. Stainless steel appliances, leather furniture throughout, gas corner kiva fireplace, wifi, full laundry room*, furnished front portal to enjoy people watching while sipping on a margarita, full backyard with a propane grill and outdoor dining for 4 under an extraordinary shade tree, 5 step osmosis water system off the kitchen faucet, books, games, and an overall amazing experience. Walk to EVERYTHING! Or don't, because there is parking for 2 cars in the driveway! ;)

*The washer and dryer are located in the lower level of this original 1940's home. The stairs are a bit steep, and we've cautioned users about head clearance in some areas. With that said, it's a great laundry room with tons of room to store extra luggage and to let your ski's thaw out after a long day on the mountain.

Great location, lovely furnishings, well equipped kitchen. It was a lovely touch to leave New Mexico sparkling wine and Laughing Llama water bottles. Bathrooms were lovely and the tub was nice & deep, with really hot water. Beds were large but didn’t leave a lot of space to move around the bedroom.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Mar, 2023
Thank you for your review. The heated bathroom floors are definitely a guest favorite. We are sorry you thought the pillows were hard. We have two different firmnesses of pillows at the rental. One guest said they were too soft. Pillows certainly are tough to please everyone. When you stay again, please let me know so I can bring over some softer ones for you. I’m more than happy to do that. See you again!

About the host

Hosted by Teal

Host profile image
Hi! We are Alana and Bridget. Born in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, I accepted a Division I scholarship in 1995 to play basketball at Kent State University, and then moved to beautiful Santa Fe in 2007. Bridget (born in Minnesota) and I lovingly restored this historic, Santa Fe home in 2018.
I specialize in working with the over-70 demographic on maintaining/regaining their ability to be independent in their home through exercise, flexibility and balance training.
Bridget is the Executive Director of the Espanola Humane Society.

Why they chose this property

As soon as you step onto this property and into the home you can just feel the love. This historic home was built in the 1920's and owned by the same family until our purchase in 2018. We put so much love into the full remodel of this home by staying true to the essence of all things Santa Fe. Top-of-the-line furnishings, bedding, linens, and a display of a variety of artists, such as Georgia O'Keefe, Elias Rivera, RC Gorman, and Joel Nakamura to name a few. Even the china in the kitchen are authorized reproductions of the classic dining car china introduced in 1936, the golden age of the Santa Fe Railway.

What makes this property unique

A single-family, free-standing home this close to the plaza (2 blocks) will be the envy of all of your friends. And if you have friends/family come visit during your stay, there is room for up to three vehicles to park in the driveway, a real bonus during markets and other popular events when downtown parking is sold at a premium.
Enjoy sitting on the front porch while sipping a margarita, or relax in the backyard under a gorgeous shade tree.
Our goal at the Inn of the Laughing Llama is to exceed all your expectations.
