The Santa Fe Plaza is such an amazing site and is just a few blocks from the casita! There is plenty to see, do, and eat here - even during Covid-19! "The Santa Fe Plaza is a National Historic Landmark in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico in the style of traditional Spanish-American colonial cities. The plaza, or 'city-square', was originally, and is still to this day, the center gathering place in town. Many know it as 'the heart of Santa Fe'"

"The museum's collections are the largest repository of Georgia O'Keeffe's work and personal materials, including items from her historic houses. Items from the collections rotate throughout the year in the Museum Galleries. Selected materials are also on view in the Library and Archives and the O'Keeffe Welcome Center. The Abiquiu Home and Studio was the artist's primary residence from the late 1940s through the end of her life. It includes the artist's garden, operated and harvested annually by local students.[11] The museum's fine art collection includes many of Georgia O'Keeffe's key works. Subjects range from the artist's innovative abstractions to her iconic large-format flower, skull, and landscape paintings to paintings of architectural forms and rocks, shells, and trees. Initially, the collection was made of 140 O'Keeffe paintings, watercolors, pastels, and sculptures, but now includes nearly 1,200 objects."

The inn has stood in this spot just southeast of the Plaza for centuries. Because of it's proximity to the Plaza and its history as a gathering place for everyone from cowboys to movie stars, it is referred to as The Inn at the End of the Trail. Free guided tours are offered by the hotel and touch on the rich history of the building, as well as the expansive public art collection within its walls. Visit the shops on the main floor, or eat at one of the three restaurants. The Bell Tower Bar - not to be missed - offers exceptional sunset views!

Walk to this excellent breakfast/brunch spot with Eastern European influences. ***When you walk to Duran St (from the casita)., turn left (rather than right) and walk towards the river. Turn right, and it will be just a few yards up. I recommend the breakfast burrito (either wrapped or in a jar, with green chili)*** – Open 7 days a Week * great espresso and coffee * freshly baked pies sold by the slice or whole, and other selection of baked goods * freshly made soups to be served in house or to be purchased as a takeout * simple breakfast and lunch menu * packaged and prepared foods that are ready to go
