Trying to keep a New Mexico Bed and Breakfast going during these somewhat challenging economic times has been an exercise in Creative Hospitality!
As autumn chills the winds we decided to get warm.
Among recent upgrades to our Hacienda is an Outdoor Spa! We figured that since our many Santa Fe Getaway guests (those that live within driving distance but just need to “get away”) are coming to relax and indulge then we should make that our priority one!
Now, imagine visiting a New Mexico bed and breakfast and hiking through the Santa Fe mountains. Darkness falls, all is quiet. You find an inviting spring of hot water on a rocky ledge, set amidst the pinon. You slip into the warmth and gaze up at the stars…
We have located the Spa on the northwest side of the Hacienda. Visitors experience endless views with absolute privacy. A native latilla (unstripped pine boughs) fence settles the spa into the landscape. Candles gently illuminate and the rest…
But what if no one knows we are here? How do you find us if you do not know where to look?
We must get the search engines to tell web users that the Hacienda is here, ready…
So we have begun a quiet campaign to encourage all of you bloggers and facebook-ers to add links to our site. This helps the Hacienda become the #1 result when folks are web surfing for Santa Fe lodging, pet friendly hotels in Santa Fe, etc.
Our first participants are thrilled with the bonus gifts we are offering and we are gaining in the search results each day!
Want to play? Just Google New Mexico Bed and Breakfast. We use to be on Page 10…not very good. When you find us just click, then send an email or comment here and let us know what our rank was. We will send you a gift!
And yes, we will post some specific results here for those of you who are interested.

I am supposed to say something informative or inspirational.
I had intended to wax poetic but this time I think I will just let the image do the talking.
We had a really spectacular morning here…again.
MaryAnn and Dan got married here today, started their wedding day with this beauty of a dawn.
You be here for the next one of these, OK?
- Santa Fe Sunrise October 20, 2009
New Mexico bed and breakfasts have at least one thing in common with enormous corporate downtown Santa Fe hotels. We all see a different sort of guests from late October until spring. Many people make summer vacation plans but who is traveling for pleasure during the cooler (colder) months? What makes you travel when the days are crisp and the nights are cold?
How was your sunrise this morning?
How about revisiting our own classics? Of, course! We do not need to be some creative when you have already told us and shown us what you like!
What we love about this time of year is that we see lots of locals. A local in these parts is anyone who can drive here, typically less than 4 hours but sometimes 6 hours…like the couple last week from El Paso, TX. We think of them as sort of local and I think they think of themselves that way after so many visits!
So check out the Special page and come on the road to see us. Let us pamper you and saddle up your horse. Let us get the Thanksgiving dishes.
Come, see what makes this Hacienda, this bed-and-breakfast so…special!

New Mexico Mountains
In New Mexico the sky is HUGE!
So why come all the way to Santa Fe and then stay at a New Mexico Bed and Breakfast with no big, amazing, breathtaking views?
We love when our guests share pictures with us. Read the rest of this entry »
