Beautiful home

The house and setting were absolutely stunning. Very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of towels, and very accommodating hostess. Although the house is in an area that feels remote and is gorgeous, it’s very convenient to everything we wanted to see and only a short drive to Santa Fe plaza and other key sights. The patio is a wonderful spot for drinking morning coffee and looking out at the mountains right in front of you.

Tesuque Gem

This is a lovely casita located outside Santa Fe in a quiet and beautiful location. The views from the front courtyard are fantastic. The inside is quaint and charming and kitchen fully equipped. The host is very nice and easy to deal with.

Our Most Relaxing Getaway Ever!

Our 10-day visit to the Guest House on the Hill outside Santa Fe was our most restorative get-away yet! This incredible guest house is everything you would imagine a historic northern New Mexico adobe to be! Historic construction techniques, materials, furnishings, art work and ambience were beyond compare, comfortable and accommodating in every way! Our hostess was thoughtful, friendly and helped to make our visit so memorable. We enjoyed the spacious rooms and patios every day. The weather was wonderful! The enclosed patio on the west was a perfect place to enjoy the landscaped and wooded setting as well as an ideal space for our small dog to search and roam at her pleasure. The views to the mountains and valleys to the east were unsurpassed! The location outside Santa Fe allowed us to be close to the many historic sites and the downtown plaza without being in the hubbub of this busy community. The kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked with just about everything you would need. The entire guest house was immaculately clean. Excellent restaurants nearby provided for delicious southwest eats and drinks. Thank you to our generous hostess and we can’t wait to return!

Little Gem Outside Santa.Fe

This place is Tesuque was great for us- a little remote, which is what we like, but very easy to get where we wanted (Santa Fe and Los Alamos). The property was very well equipped- we had everything we needed! Donna had some great personal touches that made it a wonderful experience. We love this area of the country, and will definitely staying here in any future visits!

Super comfortable stay

Gorgeous mountain view from a beautifully arranged, comfortable living room with a fire going, door open to hear the birds/wind/storm. Just lovely, lovely ambience with two very comfortable bedrooms (fireplace in the bedroom, too!). We didn't want to leave. Felt so secluded and quiet.

Great place in Tesuque

We had a wonderful stay at this picturesque guest house in Tesuque. It is nicely decorated and authentically Santa Fe with a wonderful view of the mountains. It snowed while we were there and getting up the steep hill to the house was a bit tricky, but fortunately our all-wheel drive vehicle made it up the dirt road to the house. When we emailed the host a few hours before arrival for final check-in instructions, Georgia replied that she had not received the reservation even though I had a confirmation from VRBO from a month before and payment had been accepted. She was able to quickly adjust and fortunately the place was already clean and ready despite the mix-up. Overall, we would highly recommend staying here for a peaceful and restorative retreat. There are two well-appointed bedrooms, each with their own full bath, a nice living area and a quaint kitchen and dining area. We hope to be back again soon!

Thanksgiving Break

Perfect for our party of 4 plus two dogs. Host was easily accessible, beds were comfortable, important amenities were updated but still had a very rustic feel, which is what we loved. Plenty of firewood was available and close to everything but far enough away to feel remote. Can’t wait to come back in the summer for hiking.
