Parador | Farmhouse 12 | Downtown

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.

Farmhouse 12 offers a rare opportunity to stay within one of Santa Fe’s most historic properties—part of The Parador, a nearly 200-year-old former farmhouse thoughtfully reimagined as a boutique hybrid hotel. The unit blends authentic architectural character with a calm, residential feel, creating a space that is both grounding and inspiring.

Guests enjoy a quieter, more private stay within a shared compound, where historic elements, natural textures, and understated design create a sense of timelessness. The setting encourages slow mornings, creative reflection, and meaningful rest, while still placing you moments from downtown Santa Fe’s galleries, dining, and cultural landmarks.

The Parador attracts mindful travelers, artists, and design-forward guests from around the world, fostering a community atmosphere without sacrificing privacy. Farmhouse 12 is ideal for those who value character over cookie-cutter accommodations, and who appreciate staying somewhere with a story, soul, and sense of place.

Staying here means experiencing Santa Fe in a way that feels intentional rather than transactional—rooted in history, shaped by creativity, and designed for comfort and ease.

We are a self check-in property designed for ease, privacy, and flow. From the moment you arrive, everything is set up so you can move at your own pace—no front desk, no lines, no interruptions.
Our approach is what we call invisible service: the details are carefully considered in advance, so support is there when you need it and unobtrusive when you don’t. You’ll receive clear check-in instructions before arrival, and our team remains available remotely throughout your stay should anything arise.

PLEASE NOTE THAT STARTING ON MAY 12, 2026 WE WILL NO LONGER BE OFFERING BREAKFAST.
