Elaine's Bed and Breakfast

Elaine's Bed and Breakfast offers charm, elegance, and gracious hospitality in a beautiful three-story log home nestled in the evergreen forests of the Sandia Peaks. The breathtaking Alpine views make this a storybook getaway-ideal for a romantic rendezvous. Elaine's has designed special welcome packages for guests with birding interests. These include a bird list of over 100 birds that can be seen here at this bed and breakfast, as reported by Ken Schneider, one of the area's expert birders.

In warm weather, breakfast can be served outside within plain view of the bird feeders and the birds. Breakfast options range from continental to-go breakfasts (available to birders that like to get an early start on the day), to late full breakfasts, so you can see and hear the birds on their schedule. Guests are welcome to borrow maps of the local birding areas with directions to many of the local bird watching points just minutes away. A list of over 250 birds that have been spotted in the Sandia and Manzano Mountains will be given out, as long as, supplies last. Directions to, and information on, tours at Talking Talons Living Museum (a recognized leadership center).

Come see the Rosy-finches! From November until early spring you are likely to see Black, Brown-capped, Gray-crowned rosy finches and if your are lucky, you may see a subspecies of the gray-crowned--the Hepburn's form. All these are in the National Forest just minutes from Elaine's. You might see Evening Grosbeaks or Pine Siskins from the yard of the bed and breakfast. Call Elaine to make a reservation and get the latest information on where they are.
