Elaine's is amazing! It is located atop Cedar Crest outside of Albuquerque, NM. The log home is decorated with beautiful antiques is beyond cozy! The sitting room has a huge natural stone fireplace and several leather sofas and armchairs. My only regret is not staying long enough! read more

What a wonderful spot. I almost didn't want to leave this review because we wanted to keep it for ourselves! How many places are better than their publicity photos? Elaine's definitely was. The inn is beautifully decorated and full of character; it's located in a serene and rustic area only 20 or 30 minutes from downtown Albuquerque, and it's high enough to get snow! The views were lovely, the bed was comfortable, and we loved standing on the balcony and admiring the mountains. We were helped by two employees--one whose name I didn't learn and another named Abby. Both were so kind and knowledgeable. They served us two great breakfasts and gave us great advice about good places to spend our time in Albuquerque. We're looking forward to coming back. read more

This is a beautiful and wonderful place to stay. Ample amounts of space for everyone. Stayed here in the winter but would love to come back in the spring to see everything green and in bloom! Rooms are bigger than they look online. Very clean and comfortable beds. They do allow dogs to stay in the sunset room which has a private entrance. The lot is adjacent to a national forest so that is just steps away. Close to downtown area. Hosts are wonderful. Breakfast was amazing. Fresh coffee and tea anytime. Hope to return! read more

Elaine's is absolutely incredible. A beautiful building full of antiques and comfortably furnished. The architect is stunning. Abbey runs the place and is a wonderful person. She cooks a mean breakfast also. I would highly recommend Elaine's and hope to stay here again in the future read more

Clean and serene! Abby and Stella are great hosts - thoughtful and friendly. I had a great nights sleep and a beautiful morning in the dog-friendly room. The accommodations are homey (in a fancy way) and unique. I loved hearing about the family business! Hope to return with my mom! read more

We just spent 2 WONDERFUL days at Elaine's in the little village of Cedar Crest, which is snuggled into the East Mountain region of New Mexico. This gorgeous and spacious B&B is an idealized version of a log cabin, but with all the modern amenities, and it exudes warmth and charm. Our room (the one with the bunnies carved into the headboard of our four-poster bed) was airy, spacious, well decorated and clean as a whistle. It had a large closet, a private bath, a fireplace, and a patio. For $159, it was a very good deal. Elaine O'Neil is a charming hostess, who personally cooks breakfast (included) each morning. Another huge selling point is the AMAZING array of books, new and old, on nearly every topic, from biography and history to potboiler and serious fiction...and everything in between. Next time we journey to the Albuquerque area, we will most definitely return to Elaine's. read more

Just completed 4 nites at Elaine's with a little mini vacation away from Tucson. We had a huge room on the 3rd floor with king size bed, it's own bathroom, and a small porch that gave us great sunrises in the morning. Elaine and her granddaughter Abby were terrific hosts. Nestled among pines in the foothills, Elaine's was quiet and the perfect place to relax after a busy day. Highly recommend. read more

As much as I want to be brief it's impossible. My husband and I wanted a peaceful and relaxing getaway from Los Angeles and we found it at this secret hideaway. From the extremely friendly welcome from Myra the family puppy ( Big puppy) to meeting Elain's grandson David and friend Marge we felt at home. We stayed up late chatting with the family and playing with Myra who by the way guilted us into playing fetch. Breakfast was wonderful. Our only regret was that we could only stay one night. But we will be back. read more

Every so often it's nice to get away from the city, the cars, the noise...the people. I want to preface this with a note that I received my stay as a Christmas gift in case that matters to anyone. Another thing of note is the bear er I mean dog that guards the premises. Fortunately he is a sweet beast and is unlikely to maul you with anything beyond his tongue. We stayed in the Sangre de Cristo room which is upstairs in I think the furthest section of the house from the kitchen and entry area. The room is spacious and inviting. there are a couple of boardgames in the room as well as a plethora of books in the immediate vicinity if you have to or prefer to stay inside instead of enjoying the local flora and fauna. Outside there is a hot tub as well as a koi pond complete with small waterfalls. There are stables nearby so if you're an equestrian or want to become one you're in luck! The staff is fantastic and Elaine asked when we wanted breakfast instead of forcing us to wake at the crack of dawn. There is a huge selection of tea in the dining area as well as coffee you can brew at any time if a pot isn't fresh and ready. Breakfast was being finished up as we came downstairs and was spectacular. One final thing to note is this B&B is tucked away in the mountains, you'll be driving on some unpaved roads so if possible leave the Ferrari at home...I know, I know...NM-14 is a fun drive but stick to something with a little more clearance this trip. My only regret was doing this on a Friday instead of a Saturday when we would have had a bit more time to enjoy the surroundings a bit more. read more

We needed extra space for out of town guests for out daughters wedding. This was a beautiful place. The food was wonderful and they were great. read more

The host was terrific! I was disappointed with very low water pressure in our shower. The location was very peaceful and quiet. The house has a lot of character and again, the host was fabulous! .... just wish our shower had better water pressure - that was disappointing. read more

My husband and I were driving through New Mexico to Texas for the holidays. A snowstorm came through and all of the roads were shut down. We got caught on I-40 for five hours, just waiting. We finally got off the highway near Moriarty. Every single motel and hotel was full. We started googling other towns, all full. We called Elaine at 5 pm ish and she had one room available for the same night! We booked it, and in my excitement I forgot to ask about their policy with pets. I called her back, and I n a typical day they wouldn't allow dogs, but she graciously allowed our dog, Ted, to stay the night with us. When we turned off the main road to head up the hill, our car got stuck in the snow. David, and a guest at the b&b helped us to get unstuck. When we got into the b&b David offered us hot chocolate or tea. And honestly, that was so kind. Our room has a beautiful view, a jetted bathtub, a king size bed, and a fireplace. Everything to make a bad day so much better. Thank you, a million times over, to Elaine, David, and the kind guests here. If you ever find yourself near Albuquerque I highly recommend staying here. read more
