If your looking for an authentic Santa Fe experience in a rural setting with a relaxed and laid back atmosphere among good people, stay here. I booked for a celebration dinner that included a weekend stay with family and friends. Not only did Mitch and Leslie provide us with amazing food, they were a joy to spend time with. Their beautiful ranch is a renovated artist space with a handful of adobe casitas to choose from. Each has its own unique charm. This is a great place to come for a retreat from the hustle and bustle. Relax in a hot tub under the stars, sit beside a kiva fireplace, watch the sunset behind the magnificent mountains or gather at a table to enjoy organic, local cuisine. Leslie and Mitch clearly love what they do and they do it well. Don't miss an opportunity to enjoy this incredible experience. read more

Dreamy time at Rancho Gallina. Some of my favorite highlights....Feeling the warm sun, big blue sky napping on the hammock, feeling the breeze, listening to the birds. Or eating salted pot à creme by the glow of the fireplace playing games. Or in awe at the inmense starry skies in the hot tub. A homey, comfortable, relaxing spot. Excellent food. read more

WONDERFUL! We came across this place by accident...Mitch, Leslie and their four legged family were warm and welcoming. The atmosphere was eco chic and the food was 5 star quality. Organic eggs and veggies are grown on the property. Great location only 20 minutes to historic Santa Fe. We could go on and on with all the good things about this place. Go ahead, plan your getaway, make this your destination and don't be afraid to UNPLUG! read more

An amazing place to spend time at and see New Mexico. The ranch maintains an historic charm with wonderful architecture. Mitch and Leslie are delightful hosts and the food is mouth-watering deliciousness with breakfasts such as buckwheat crepes with gruyere cheese, prosciutto, and a fresh egg from their chicken coop. They also have solar panels to fuel to the Ranch and electric car chargers, including Tesla! This is a perfect place to relax and check out the beauty of New Mexico. read more

Rancho Gallina is everything that we had hoped for. We stayed for three nights in the Lone Butte Casita. The room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The kiva fireplace was a real treat during the chilly evenings. Leslie and Mitch provided us with great coffee, wine, cocktails, and lovely dinners. The food was incredible, especially since we have a long list of food allergies. The cedar soaking tub was to die for. Our toddler had a wonderful time playing in the courtyard and watching the chickens. Rancho Gallina is a short drive into town for shopping or dining, but far enough away that you are able to enjoy peace and quiet (not to mention a breathtaking view of sunsets, sunrises, and the stars). It is also very convenient for hiking and outdoors activities. We felt completely spoiled our entire stay. The rates are so reasonable, and it was also great that we knew that our hosts were working to be great environmental stewards, as well. We cannot wait to come back! This is definitely going to be our new go-to getaway! read more

This is a fabulous place for a retreat/meeting, whatever your soul seeks. We were a group of 30 people who do social justice work. We found more than we could have dreamed for in the place, the setting, the kindred spirits and generosity of our hosts, Leslie and Mitch, the FOOD!!!!. What they are creating here is what the world needs more of. And the nights are so quiet with big skies and stars. Stayed June 2015 read more

When you find yourself dusty and travel-weary from exploring the wilds of New Mexico, a stay at Rancho Gallina is in order. That's what happened when we turned off the Turquoise Trail after a day of driving and arrived at the charming adobe buildings of the ranch. We were greeted by Leslie, who managed to 1) show us around the grounds and our casita, 2) introduce us to the chickens, dog, and cat, 3) get us settled with such thoroughness and cheer that we were a bit dazed by it all. We stayed in the Sunset Casita, which has two doors that lead to our own little patio in the back and a view of the hills. The bedroom was no frills but had everything you needed for a restful night's sleep. In the mornings, I made tea in the spotless kitchenette while the rising sun shone through the window. Leslie and Mitch are super chill, and as hosts, they were accommodating and very understanding of our needs, like providing my favored variety of tea (I think they may be better stocked on teas and coffees than some grocers), or providing an extra comforter, or whipping up a delicious breakfast that took our dietary needs into consideration (dairy-free pescatarian). Mitch makes restaurant-quality meals like it's nothing, but Leslie's no slouch either--her fresh-baked bread with lemon marmalade taste amazing. We were very well taken care of during our stay and would love to go back to Rancho Gallina for another visit. It's a place you go to if you care about honest-to-goodness human interactions and sustainable stewardship of the environment. **Note: There is very spotty cell phone reception at RG. If needed, you can use a booster in the common area, but this is something to consider if cell phone use is important to you. The Wi-Fi is reliable. read more

My husband and I just returned from a fantastic 4 night stay in Rancho Gallina's Sunset Casita. I loved the location of the inn -- just south of Santa Fe, easily accessible by Route 14. It's a great spot for anyone wanting to do some scenic road tripping (or bike riding!) on the Turquoise Trail, and just far enough outside town to allow us to enjoy that beautiful big sky and desert landscape while still being a really easy trip to hiking trails, the plaza, or other points of interest in town. The Sunset Casita was a great space- private, quiet, and with a little back yard complete with super comfortable hammock (AKA my new happy place). We were welcome to roam the grounds of the inn, which had lovely surprises tucked everywhere-- fruit tree saplings, desert rose bushes, a garden, a chicken run, 3 friendly adorable dogs, Pico the cat, tons of outdoor seating, hummingbird nests! It was magical. And there was clearly love poured into every space we saw. Mitch & Leslie were kind, fun and conscientious hosts. Their warm welcome & knowledge of the Santa Fe area were a huge bonus of staying here. And the FOOD! This is some serious breakfast. Homemade yogurt with granola & local honey. Huevos rancheros with Mitch's homemade red chile sauce and eggs from their very own chickens. Leslie's fluffy buckwheat banana pancakes with real maple syrup. Sourdough bread from scratch. Chemex-brewed coffee (AND coffee beans/grinder/French press in our room). These meals were so special and delicious. A great way to start the day. Also, as a non-morning person, I appreciated that the breakfast timeframe ran until 10 AM (some B&B's have their breakfast so punishingly early!). We can't recommend Rancho Gallina highly enough. What a treat. If we make it to Santa Fe again we will most certainly be back! read more

What a lovely guest house / villa, just 20 minutes south of Santa Fe. (The photos really don't do this place justice). The rooms in the Old House are all unique, historic, updated, and comfortable. The ranch is an oasis of calm, with numerous hammocks, tables/chairs setup outside, and a hot tub. The owners are phenomenal, so accommodating, interesting, and amazing cooks. The whole experience is--magical. We were there for a wedding-- renting the whole ranch with friends is an awesome way to ensure quality time with people you like-- but I think we would have enjoyed this even if we only rented 1 room. Can't recommend enough. read more

Rancho Gallina is a true Santa Fe gem. My husband and I had the pleasure of staying here for one night while on a road trip across the US. The hospitality of Leslie and Mitch is off the chain. They were super accommodating to our vegan and vegetarian diets- they prepared a truly delicious breakfast for us. The inn is situated near the Turquoise Trail, which is breathtakingly beautiful. We can't speak highly enough of this place! Thanks again, Leslie and Mitch! read more

I left Rancho Gallina the day before yesterday and already I want to go back. We were there for a wedding and stayed two nights in their Kiva Suite--perfect for two adults and one child. The room was beautiful (fireplace, three entrances) and the bathroom was enormous. The kitchen in that area has great coffee which I made everyone morning since I wake up stupidly early. The lodging and the location is ever so slightly rustic, so if you're going for the luxury travel thing this probably isn't your place. But this is so much better. The breakfasts were delicious and Leslie and Mitch were incredibly accommodating to the multiple food restrictions of the group, making vegan food, gluten-free food, and foods with gluten AND animal products. Delicious. The wedding was also beautiful and peaceful. I highly recommend Rancho Gallina for events or just for a couple nights. read more

While not my first visit to the Santa Fe area, found RG to be the best place to beat the hype of high end Santa Fe with excellent facilities and remarkably caring hosts. Culinary delights, excellent recommendations for area sites, and just one of those splendid environments where one could really enjoy the region without the normal hubbub in the city. Best takeaway for me (besides the superb dining experience) was being turned on to the Turquoise Trail which is one of the real undiscovered gems of the SW. Will be back read more

Leslie and Mitch are so nice and their b&b is a gem! Beautiful, modern, comfortable, and some of the best food I've had in NM. Highly recommend! read more

Rancho Gallina is a wonderful stay in the serene countryside outside of Santa Fe. Let's start off with what makes a bed & breakfast: the bed and breakfast! Our room was huge and very comfortable. We stayed in the Kiva suite, which had an ample bedroom with a desk, wardrobe, fireplace, and lounge chair. Then it also had another large room which would have been able to fit someone else. This opened into an enormous bathroom with a clawfoot tub. Despite its size, it was very homey. We stayed there two nights, so we were the happy devourers of two wonderful breakfasts. We had homemade yogurt and granola to start while Mitch custom-made us crepes the first day and omelets the second. They were amazing. It was probably helped by the eggs, which came fresh from the chickens kept on the property. But Rancho Gallina goes beyond those basic Bs. Mitch and Leslie are wonderfully pleasant people who are perfectly happy to chat, but give you your space too. They were extra sweet when they found out we were celebrating our anniversary. In addition to the chickens on the property, they have two fun-loving dogs and a cat named Pico who is an absolute character--I'm pretty sure Pico actually runs the inn. They also claim that hummingbirds are frequently seen, and there was one nesting there while we were there. They have a little koi pond as well. Walking the property you'll also see some other wildlife you'd expect in the New Mexico desert: lizards and birds and such. We also heard coyotes in the distance one night. While you're in a quiet area, it's a short drive back into Santa Fe. We made our way there both days we were there. It's also close to a little town called Madrid, which has plenty of shops where you can buy similar products (jewelry, gems, clothing, the like) to what you find in Santa Fe, but for greatly reduced prices. It's also close to the Cerillos Hills State Park, and we used the opportunity to take a horseback ride through it with the Broken Saddle riding company (also recommended!). The building was built in the 1930s but has been updated heavily. All of the appliances are new and energy efficient. There is central air and heat (though if we visited in the colder months, we'd make extensive use of the many fireplaces to be found throughout). They have a hot tub too! Almost all of the electricity comes from solar arrays on the property. There are even two Tesla charging stations. Quaint, but with modern convenience. The one thing is that they have terrible cell reception there--the wifi works great, so if you have wifi calling (like we do) then there aren't any issues. They also provided plenty of board games if you wanted to spend more time on the property; pamphlets for surrounding activities; materials for hikes. I wish we had more time there! read more

Rancho Gallina is THE place to stay in Santa Fe. Leslie and Mitch are warm and generous hosts who cook amazing food, are always up for good conversation, and invite guests to completely relax. The expansive property includes an outdoor fire pit, a cedar hot tub and several very comfortable hammocks. Mitch and Leslie have put a lot of love and intention into building this business: they have preserved the history of the property while updating it with solar panels and a geothermal heating/cooling system. Did I mention the food? Mitch is a professionally trained chef with expertise in the Mexican/Spanish/New Mexican cuisine of the region. Rancho Gallina is located just outside of Sante Fe along the Turquoise Trail, with easy access to attractions including the village of Madrid and the Acoma pueblo. Basically, there is every reason to stay here, and you will be very happy you did. read more
