About this property

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

Inn of the Laughing Llama

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

* Please note construction recently started next door. The construction crew has been advised to not play music during their work hours.*

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.

No surprises / Perfect location / Wonderful house and host

College spring break for my son. He wanted to return to Santa Fe for hiking, art, skiing, and some great meals. Our first stay at the "Llama" exceeded expectations in every way. All exchanges with our host, Alana, were very prompt, professional, and accurate. We had a brief encounter and she's also lovely and warm in person. Highlights for us included location, a spotless well-decorated house, being able to take home clean clothes, and so many small touches: heated bathroom floor, filtered water, coffee, Mimbreño dinnerware, etc.

Best VRBO ever

Great place. Most clean and well thought out home I’ve ever stayed in. Cozy, comfortable. Perfectly walkable to plaza and easy drive to Ski Santa Fe. Hosts were perfectly communicative! And the welcome touches were wonderful - won’t spoil the details, but you’ll feel welcome!

Santa Fe get away

While searching for places to stay the name of this rental drew me in and it was the perfect place for the four of us. Beautiful and so close to walk each day. Enjoyed looking up each morning and seeing the Cross of the Martyr. Thanks to Alana for her restaurant suggestions and checking in on us during the snow storm. We will return to Santa Fe. The home is a gem! Thank you!

Quintessential SantaFe

My wife and I and another couple recently stayed at Laughing Llama to celebrate La fiesta and Zozobra 100. The home was a perfect size for two couples, and its proximity to the plaza and Ft Marcy Park was ideal! The online photos are spot on. The home is beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Our host, Alana, was in touch periodically to ensure everything was satisfactory. This was my third visit to SantaFe and Laughing Llama was by far the BEST. I highly recommend this property. A++.

Awesome place to stay in Santa Fe!

We have traveled to Santa Fe for over 30 years and have stayed in many places. This one is on our short list of places to stay again. Alana was immediately attentive to any questions we had, she is an awesome host. All of us staying there talked every day how much we enjoyed the house. We sat out on the patio and night to visit and the front porch in the morning with some hot tea. Super clean! Tastefully decorated. Comfortable beds. Filtered water. They spared no expense to think of anything you might need. We will definitely be back and actually already looking at the calendar for our next trip! We would rate this place 10 Stars if we could!!! PS…there is some construction next door but we wanted to add, we never heard them! The neighbors are so kind and it is a quiet neighborhood too. Top notch place and hosts!

Our Time on Otero

The place is great. The hosts have thought of every amenity one needs and the home exudes a classic Southwest charm. If you're wanting to explore old town Santa Fe you don't need to use your car. Great location. Unfortunately, at this time, there is a lot of construction going on in Santa Fe.

I need to visit Santa Fe more often . . .

. . . Just so I can stay at the Laughing Llama! Lovely decor that was homey without being cluttered, spotlessly clean, and everything one needs for a perfect Santa Fe experience. Easy walk to the plaza, comfortable beds, and much higher quality of dinnerware, lines, and appliances than we expected. I used to stay at a great hotel when I visited Santa Fe, but it’s the Laughing Llama from now on!

Fantastic Home in the Perfect Location

We've visited Santa Fe many times over the last 20+ years and stayed in numerous vacation rentals. This home is by far the nicest we've stayed in. Every detail and need has been thought out and implemented with care. The location is ideal if you plan to walk around the Plaza or up Canyon Road. Perhaps the best compliment is that the home looks exactly like the photos in the listing. Very enthusiastically recommended!

Charming cottage

Spotlessly clean. It sparkles. Lovely art and handmade crafts from the area. New appliances. Very walkable and the neighborhood is quiet at night, great front porch and back patio. Getting in and out of the driveway can be a challenge, but we mostly walked where we wanted to go. The gas fireplace is pretty and provides heat. Kitchen is well stocked with all you need. Great place!

Imagine

Imagine you were looking for the perfect location for your vacation. And imagine you found a home in that location that was beyond your expectations - beautifully decorated, heated bathroom floors, sparking clean, comfortable beds, front porch for drinking wine and people-watching. A home whose owners have thought of everything, including your own Laughing Llama water bottle! Take a minute, close your eyes and when you open them make your reservation in Santa Fe at the Laughing Llama. The most perfect vacation home my husband and I have ever rented. You'll say the same thing when you stay there!

Charming & lovely stay in Santa Fe

My husband and I traveled to Santa Fe 25 years ago and wanted to return someday. (We live in Pennsylvania.) In July we finally returned and brought our 15 year old daughter to see the Southwest US. We had a lovely stay at the Laughing Llama! When we first drove up to the property, the lights were on in the home and everything was set for a wonderful stay. The home was immaculate but very comfortable. The outdoor space in the back was private and perfect for morning coffee. There were hummingbirds each morning in the garden. The property is super close to the Plaza, restaurants and museums. Very walkable to downtown Santa Fe. This home has been completely redone in the Santa Fe style. It's in great condition and loaded with charm. Alana and Bridget were wonderful hosts and thought of every detail! My daughter is still using the Laughing Llama water bottle. :-) Thank you both for a lovely stay in your charming city!!! Highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Alana

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.
