Fabulous Downtown Guesthouse in Historic District, Hot tub! Perfect Location!

SPECIAL NOTE: Due to COVID 19 we require at least 72 hours between guests to assure a thorough cleaning per CDC standards. Santa Fe is mask mandatory, and we supply hand sanitizer in the casita and one disposable face mask per guest.

Romantic, exquisite and only two blocks from Santa Fe Plaza! 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 the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum (one block away!), Spanish Market, Indian Market and other world-class events, you can treat yourself in downtown Santa Fe. This very special, newly remodeled and private guesthouse is located in the heart of the historic district. 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 casita 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, 'studio style' (approx. 350 sq. ft.) accommodation with every attention to detail. Lovingly redesigned to include both old world charms and contemporary amenities, including a outdoor hot tub, flat-screen TV/DVD, full kitchen, washer/dryer, and kiva fireplace. Central a/c installed 2017! We have added a luxurious Saatva organic mattress ( same mattress as those in the Four Seasons and the Ritz Carlton!) in November 2021.

We have furnished our casita with traditional, contemporary and folk arts from the Southwest region, including Fritz Scholder, Louie Ewing and Bill Schenck. 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. Museums, galleries and events are just outside your door.

In Santa Fe for business The Eldorado Hotel is one block to the south, and most other centrally located hotels are close by. Why stay at a hotel when you can be within a short walk to your own fully equipped casita

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. The Santa Fe Community 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, wireless internet, air conditioning and an 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 and a Roku will bring the world to you on a state of the art Panasonic 32 flat panel screen with DVD for movies (many provided) and a ROKU (account needed), a Jensen stereo system with Bluetooth pairing, as well as wireless internet access (5G). The artwork in the casita is like living in your own private Santa Fe gallery!

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.
