anyone stayed at Ghost Ranch?

I%26#39;m considering an Elderhostel tour using Ghost Ranch Santa Fe as the hotel. Looks like it%26#39;s some kind of a retreat center with no phones or tvs in the rooms. Not sure that sounds like much fun. Has anyone actually stayed there? What info. can you give, please? How far is the walk to the Plaza, for instance?





Thanks in advance.

Ghost Ranch is in fact a retreat center, and is slightly less than 50 miles from Santa Fe-- a little too far to walk to the Plaza! Find out more here:

Hmmmm... this one says ';Ghost Ranch Santa Fe';. I konw that there%26#39;s one in Chimayo... but I guess there%26#39;s another one right in the city of SF? Anyone help????





Thanks

There is no Ghost Ranch in Chimayo. Ghost Ranch has locations in Abiquiu and Santa Fe.





Ghost Ranch in Santa Fe is three blocks from the historic Santa Fe Plaza on Old Taos Highway off of Paseo De Peralta. Location is good.





(No comment on the retreat itself- I have not see it)




Ghost Ranch Santa Fe is near the downtown area. Large sculptures outside. Even if there is no phone or tv, Santa Fe has plenty to do. It is an easy walk to the plaza area.




Thank you Whitecar, and Casa Azul. I%26#39;m another who now knows there are two Ghost Ranches! So many things to learn...so little time! :-)




Ghost Ranch Santa Fe is news to me as well... but I fondly remember the Ghost Ranch in Tucson! I stayed there a couple of times before it was turned into senior housing a few years back.




I have been to both. Ghost Ranch is basically a conference center owned by Presbyterian Church, but is fairly secular.





The main ';campus'; is just north of Abiquiui and in magnificent red rock country. Hiking is beyond fabulous. Simple accommodations, however.





They have a smaller place in SF, two or 3 blocks north of the plaza. Nice, simple almost monastery-type set up, It can be a nice place to stay, esp. if you are looking for a quiet, plain respite. You don%26#39;t go to SF to stay in the room.





Both places have very good seminars, a nice way to spend the week or weekend.
