Our Policies

Please read the “small print” carefully for our Santa Fe B&B. If you have a question, call us at 505 983 0798 and we will gladly explain.

Communication During Your Stay – We utilize a texting service to communicate with you before and during your stay. It is important to have a unique cellular telephone number assigned to each guest room regardless of who is making or paying for the reservation. We suggest you call the Inn if you need to book more than one room.

Check In – Check-in time is from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. If you will arrive after this time, please notify us well in advance so that we can provide you with information essential for an after-hours self-check-in. NOTE: There are 20 or more steps from our parking area to the main inn. We are happy to assist you with luggage upon your arrival, if arrival is during staffing hours. Check-in at the inn’s office and we will retrieve your luggage for you. We can often accommodate an early check-in. Please check with us.

Check Out – Check-out time is before 11:00 am. Alternate check-out times can sometimes be accommodated if pre-arrangements are made. Please check with us.

Room Pricing – Rates quoted are for single or double occupancy. Our rooms can accommodate two people very comfortably.

Deposit – All reservations must be secured by a deposit of 50% of the total lodging cost with taxes.  Any outstanding balance is due upon check-in. The deposit can be paid with a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover). Cash or check payments are always welcome for the remainder of balance due upon check-in.

Minimum Stays – A two-night reservation is generally required for advance reservations particularly during weekends in our high season (March 1 through October 31 if a Saturday is booked). Sometimes a single Saturday night is available, please call us. Also, minimum stays of 3 or 4 nights are required on most Holidays, Art Market weekends and other special events. Call us for details.

Cancellation Notification – If your plans require that you cancel your reservation, we will gladly refund your deposit (less a $50 plus tax per room cancellation fee) provided that we are given sufficient notification of the cancellation in advance of the confirmed arrival date. You may book your stay using our Rest Easy Cancellation Coverage rate for shorter cancellation notice period. See below.

Reservations canceled, or stays reduced, greater than 14 days (30 days for holidays, special events, July & August) prior to originally confirmed arrival date will receive a refund of any deposit, less a $50 + tax, per room, handling fee which will be deducted from the refund. The cancellation fee offsets the credit card expenses we incur for the deposit and refund without revenue from a stay.

Reservations canceled, or stays reduced, 14 days (30 days for holidays, special events, July and August) or less prior to confirmed arrival date will be responsible for the entire reserved stay. This is also true for no-shows.

Additional cancellation charges may apply for cancellation of confirmed events such as elopements, weddings, and honeymoon packages.

Rest Easy Cancellation Coverage Rate – Booking with our Rest Easy Cancellation Coverage Rate gives you peace of mind knowing you can cancel your reservation with shorter notice. When booking this rate, you pay an additional $35/night (plus tax) over our Best Available Rate, knowing that you may cancel your reservation for “Any Reason”, up to 12:00 pm Mountain Time the day before your scheduled date of arrival and receive a refund of your deposit minus the $35/night (plus tax) cancellation fee.

Enhancements or packages ordered and cancelled with short notice may result in additional charges.

Cancellation coverage must be purchased at the time you make your reservation.

Whole-Inn or Group Bookings – Booking the entire inn for a private event may be available depending on the date and availability. Whole-inn bookings are not available in July or August. Our inn has 9 guest rooms with total capacity for 18 persons. A three-night stay is required to book the entire inn. For whole-inn bookings or for group bookings where rooms are blocked before reserving, there is a 20% surcharge per room, per night. There may be additional space use fees should the property be used for activities or events outside of our typical breakfast service and twilight reception. We require unique contact information including cellular telephone numbers for each guest room during a stay regardless if the event booked under a single reservation or paid for by a single person. For all group bookings, 50% of the total charges are due at time of booking and the remainder due 30 days prior to check-in. Cancellations of whole-inn bookings must be made a minimum of 30 days prior to check-in. Cancellation notification terms are applicable. Call the inn to discuss the possibility of booking your group or the entire inn for your event.

Travel Insurance – As a small inn, we require your commitment to your reservation. Reservations are accepted with the understanding that you will be financially responsible for the entire period reserved. We cannot be responsible for illness, family emergencies, work conflicts, inclement weather or cancelled flights. We highly recommend purchasing trip cancellation insurance, available at a nominal cost from any travel agency or online at insuremytrip.com. These companies are independent and not affiliated with our inn.

Groups & Celebrations – Whole inn bookings are available for groups and special events such as weddings, corporate board meetings, reunions, workshops, retreats and professional meetings. Inquire about rates. Additional charges or event contract may apply. Additional cancellation charges may apply.

Pets – We love our pet guests! Pets are allowed in the Shaman, Willa Cather, Igor Stravinsky, and Edna St. Vincent Millay rooms. Please see our pet friendly page for specific pet policies. There is an additional pet fee of $30 per night of stay.

Smoking – There is no smoking or vaping allowed in any guest rooms or the inn’s common spaces. Evidence of smoking or vaping in guest rooms or common spaces will result in an additional $250 cleaning fee. Smoking is permitted in all exterior spaces. Ashtrays are available.

Alcohol – Guests may bring their own alcoholic beverages on premises, but for the safety and comfort of all our guests, please drink responsibly. We can provide glassware for your use.

Drought Water Restrictions – The city of Santa Fe is experiencing on-going severe water drought. We must adhere to City of Santa Fe’s ordinance that lodging facilities shall not change sheets and towels more frequently than every 4 days for guests staying longer than 1 night. Please do not place your towels on the floor, but hang them in such a way as they may be used the following day. Should they be found on the floor, our housekeeping staff will place them neatly on the towel racks for reuse.

Guests are liable for any damage or loss of hotel property, or should extra cleaning be necessary.
