About this property

Folk House - Charming Folk Art Inspired Guest House On Beautiful Tesuque Estate

For those with a love of the eclectic, this folk art inspired guest house is a fun departure from the traditional New Mexican interior design. The house is cozy and inviting with plenty to look at. Through the front gate is a lovely fenced front yard with a built-in banco, and tables and chairs for relaxing oudoors. When you enter the front door, you'll find the cozy living room with plenty of seating. please note the fireplace is not available due to an issue with the liner. Use of the fireplace could result in house fire.

Off of the living room is the bedroom with a comfortable reading chair and large closet. The bathroom connects to the bedroom and has a beautifully tiled combined bath and shower. The kitchen has the same charm with a brightly colored floor and copper counter tops with plenty of space and equipment to prepare your meals. There is a small table and chairs located in the kitchen with a larger table available in the living room. As you head towards the back door you'll find the laundry room with full washer and dryer. The back portal features a built-in banco and table and chairs overlooking a beautiful lawn.

There is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy located around the property. Just a quick walk up a path and you'll arrive at the large lawn which surrounds a small private chapel. Settle in under the large apricot tree or relax on the hammock nearby. Across the driveway are our resident alpacas who will look on with curiosity as you are traveling around the property. The property is also home to our on-site property managers, Jeff and Lauren and their two young children.

Folk House

I enjoyed everything about the Folk House. Any issues or problems were resolved by the hosts quickly. The Folk House is a filled with folk art of all kinds relevant to Southwestern culture and history. The attention to detail is incredible and very inspiring. This is a very warm and inviting adobe.

Folk House Tesuque, NM

We liked the location of the property since it was convenient to Santa Fe, Taos, Los Alamos and 1 hour from Albuquerque. The appliances were excellent. There was not a lot of counter space in the kitchen but we made do by moving a few things out of our way. My biggest issue was lack of good lighting. There were few overhead lights and lamps were dim. Keep in mind we are in our 60's. Communication with property manager was always prompt.

So restful!

Our three night stay was so restful. The location is quiet and peaceful. It’s also close to downtown Santa Fe, which makes it pretty much the perfect combination.

Unforgettable Getaway

Wow. Where do I begin. My girlfriend and I came for three nights after two nights at a spa north. The property is soooo cute and well organized and the house was eclectic yet comfortable and easy. Great location 15 min north of downtown. The alpalcas were very cute and the chapel on the property is straight o it of a fairytale. Overall an amazing stay and would love to visit again

Magical Stay!

This is a wonderfully comfortable, lovely, wonderfully decorated where we were trancended to a magical and restful stay. It was better than expected and described on the ad and look forward to coming back again and again to this magical place. We loved it so much that we ended up extending our stay.

A restorative stay

My partner and I stayed here for six nights in early September. The property is absolutely beautiful complete with alpaca, a small number of guest houses well situated away from one another, a charming small chapel, and comfortable seating under the trees. Even a hammock! We both definitely needed a rest in the country to reconnect and restore and this was the place. Lauren was delightful to work with and everyone we encountered on the property was friendly. The house is a short distance from Tesuque market, one of our favorite places to eat, grab a glass of wine, and pick up some basics. There are also other nice restaurants nearby in case you don’t want to go back at the Santa Fe. If you do need to go to Santa Fe, it’s a very short distance into the plaza maybe 10 to 15 minutes max. We will return!

Proximity to everything

We did not want to stay in the city, even though we planned on activities in Santa Fe. We also planned a trip to Taos and the Pueblo, so the location at Teseque was perfect. House was older but cozy and supplied with everything we needed. The little chapel and llamas on property were a bonus.

The pictures are exactly what you’ll walk into. Very charming and creative folk decor throughout the house and property. Extremely quiet and peaceful. Short drive to Santa Fe attractions but we enjoyed spending most of our time in Tesuque. Highly recommend for a couple.

Quiet, serene, and secluded

This is a gem of a place, so unique. Waking you are transformed to another country. The curtains moving with the breeze. Frieda books and decor. The grounds are hard to leave. We stayed here while exploring our next home. We would definitely stay again. The opera is a short 7 minute drive and Lauren is so helpful.

Beautiful, peaceful, and charming place just outside Santa Fe

Our daughter lives in a shared house in Santa Fe, so my wife and I were looking for a pleasant place in town or conveniently nearby when we visited her over the holidays. We'd never heard of Tesuque, but found that it's only a few miles north of town. We were charmed by the photos of the lovely small house we signed up to rent, but were totally blown away by how wonderful and authentic it was. It is brimming with southwest folk art... but also extremely peaceful and comfortable. It's located with a few other small places on what appears to have been an old New Mexico hacienda. Despite being only a few miles out of town (in the direction of Santa Fe's lovely Opera House), it's in quiet countryside. It's just a 5 minute drive back into town, but the other way leads to walking trails and Tesuque Pueblo. The house itself - appropriately named the "Folk House" - was adobe style, with a charming living/dining area with a fireplace, bedroom with a big and really comfortable bed, walk-in closet, and connecting bath, a cozy kitchen (old style but fully equipped), and a laundry room with washer, dryer, ironing board, and more. There's a lovely yard out front that will be perfect for hanging out when the weather's warmer, plus another terrace with table and chairs out back. (The alpacas down the drive are an added attraction.) Besides easy access to the central attractions of Santa Fe - restaurants, the plaza, Georgia O'Keefe and New Mexico Art museums, etc. - Santa Fe's mountain parks including ski area are only a few miles away. We'd just been seeking a pleasant place go stay, but this was more... like a resort retreat in its own right. We can't wait to go back in Spring.
