| 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!! |

The Casita is a beautiful restoration of a classic historic Santa Fe adobe. The entrance is very private and the accomidations and service exceeded our expectations. The neighborhood is quaint, great for walking and quite.

| Charming Casita Elena is lovingly decorated in the southwestern style. the owners have thought of every amenity known to man to make this destination a comfortable 'second' home, including a working, wood-burning, easy-to-use Kiva fireplace. It is truly a 5-star property to which we are already planning to return...soon! |

| Second time staying at Casita Elena was just as great as our first stay! We just plan to keep coming back. Linda and Tim couldn't be more helpful, the casita is romantic, beautifully decorated with all the extra details, so close to plaza, and parking isn't an issue. Why would you stay anywhere else? |

Spent a wonderful week in Santa Fe staying at the Casita Elena which had everything we needed to be comfortable and cozy. Very handy to be able to walk to the square, the center of things (about four short blocks). The owners Linda and Tim were gracious and very helpful directing two rookies around town.
Thanks for the memories.

Casita Elena exceeded our expectations! The owners pay attention to details and provided the little extras that made us feel welcome and our visit very enjoyable. The location of the Casita, near the main attractions of Santa Fe, is an added bonus.

| We spent a wonderful week in Casita Elena in mid October. This property is ideal for a couple for a week in Santa Fe. It is within easy walking distance of the Plaza and DeVargas Center (a mall with a grocery and drug store). Linda and Tim are excellent hosts. They are available to answer any question or supply whatever you may need (we needed an ice scraper for the car). They supply start up provisions and ask to make sure that they meet your needs (coffee type, pulp or no pulp in your orange juice, etc.). The bed is firm but comfortable, the shower has great water pressure, the washer and dryer work well, and the internet is fast enough and was always up. With the thick adobe walls, the unit is very quiet. |

| We stayed in Casita Elena the week of Sep 9-16, 2006. and absolutely loved Santa Fe and Casita Elena. We were able to walk to the historic Plaza and most of the shopping district. The restaurants, galleries and shops were a shopper's paradise and having Casita Elena to retire to was a truly marvelous experience. The owner's had Casita Elena ready for us and nice little added touches; e.g., coffee, breakfast foods, wine, and more, eliminated the need to rush out and grocery shop. I rate Casita Elena as excellent and would return again. |

| We were thrilled after a long day's journey to arrive to soft music, wine, food in the frig, fruit on the counter. Casita Elena is beautifully and comfortably appointed - very livable. Linda and Tim have created a special "home-away-from-home" for their guests. |
