El Rancho de Santa Fe
Another wonderful experience in SantaFe! Beautiful house and grounds. Weather was great so we spent lots of time outside with grandchildren. Had a great dinner last night at Market Steer Steakhouse. Food was amazing.
Thanks for being such a great hostess for SantaFe!

We enjoyed the house very much. Caroline was very responsive when we had issues (such as a beeping smoke detector that was too high to reach). The location on museum hill was very convenient with easy access to everything in town and lovely walking trails nearby.

October, the most beautiful time of year.
This house is a must for family, friends or just two. It lives so easily and everyday is a blessing of fall colors from the grasses to leaves to the blue sky. EL RANCHO is gave us time to sit back and appreciate the best of life. Hate to leave but we will always remember our time here and return as soon as we can. Thank you for every minute of our stay!
Elevated, beautiful design, art and grounds at this elegant yet understated property. The privacy and peacefulness were exactly what my family and I needed on this recent trip. Extremely clean, fine linens, and comfortable beds. The design of this property and home is perfect for a group of friends visiting Santa Fe who want to spend time together and then have separation and privacy when needed. The location is perfect and only minutes from the Plaza, museums and restaurants. The host was extremely attentive, helpful amd kind. This will be the only property I rent in Santa Fe for future trips. I recommend this property for anyone wanting to experience classic Santa Fe at it finest.

Fabulous Santa Fe !
We had a wonderful time spending a “girls” weekend in Santa Fe. El Rancho is perfect for a house party and well located for walking to restaurants and sites. We hiked, ate fantastic food, and of course shopped and toured galleries. Caroline Morgan is the absolute best ! Her properties are impeccable and she takes care of everything for a true vacation experience. We plan to make it a yearly visit !
My review doesn’t come close to how much we loved our visit. Truly, El Rancho with its spacious interiors and gorgeous outdoor spaces is a fabulous property. When you have a moment will you please share the name of the artist who did several of the paintings in the house — specializing in poppies. We all want to follow him on line.

Memorable stay
We had the pleasure of staying at El Rancho House during Christmas, and it truly became one of the most memorable holidays of our lives. From the start, Miss Caroline was incredibly helpful and ensured our stay was comfortable. She checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and made two trips to provide us with additional stuff we needed during our stay .
The house itself is perfect—cozy and thoughtfully equipped with every detail required for a comfortable and memorable holiday. Its location is ideal, being very close to all the attractions in Santa Fe, with easy access to popular restaurants, shopping areas, and the museum district.
The house is clean, well-organized, and clearly designed with attention to even the smallest details to enhance guests' comfort. The kitchen is well-stocked with utensils, cutlery, and even spices, allowing us to enjoy cooking breakfast and lunch. Plus, a famous grocery store is conveniently located just a two-minute drive away.
The bedrooms are cozy and comfortable, featuring high-quality Egyptian cotton linens. There are three private courtyards accessible from the kitchen, bedroom, and living area, providing ample space for our fur baby to run around. We would love to return during the summer to enjoy the private pool and patio grill.
Thank you Ms. Caroline for being such a wonderful host.

One Month at El Rancho
The light filled house has a lot of room for privacy while offering the perfect social spaces. The grounds are private and beautiful... like a garden setting. We cooked at home mostly and the kitchen proved to be excellent! Extra benefit was the pool which was lovely. Also, it is managed very well... the Aqui Santa Fe team was terrific... they are professionals with a light, caring touch. We all thought it was as close to perfect as you could want. We want to go back!

Great House, Great Location, Great Service
We had a wonderful stay at El Rancho. The property is spectacular, with wonderful quality and amenities and beautiful grounds. Its well laid out for a family with separate quarters and the back patio made for relaxing outdoor meals. Lots of birds added to the ambience.
The location is excellent with a quick drive to old town Santa Fe and walk to Museum Hill.
Caroline is an excellent host and very responsive to questions and she's provided guidance for anything you may want to do while in town.
Our only quibble: we did encounter some rain and colder weather and the house's HVAC doesn't pivot quickly from AC to heat which did lead to a couple of colder evenings.
Overall this was a wonderful stay and we'd absolutely return.
