About this property

Country Cottage - Beautiful Two Bedroom House on Tesuque Estate

The Country House is located about 6 miles from the Plaza in the beautiful village of Tesuque. Tucked away in the hills near the Santa Fe Opera, it is a truly unique and charming property which features two other adjacent guest houses, a converted barn with yoga studio and massage space, and small chapel. If you have a larger group and are interested in renting our other spaces concurrently, please inquire.

The Country House is our largest guest space with 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. A large portal stretches across the front of the house and provides seating and dining areas to read or enjoy an outdoor meal with views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. When you walk in the front door, you'll find a large open space which features an indoor dining area, a living room, and a kitchen that opens up into the living space. The sofa in the living room can be converted to a full sized bed (sleeps two). Through the back door of the kitchen, is another portal with table and chairs for enjoying a meal or a cup of coffee outdoors. Off of the kitchen is a small study, complete with desk and sofa, and one of two full bathrooms. Through another set of doors is a bedroom which contains a trundle bed (two twin sized beds) which can be left as a couch if additional sleeping arrangements are not required. It should be noted that this 2nd bedroom is the only interior access to the master bedroom, meaning it must be "passed through" though it has doors that can close it off as well. The bottom trundle beds is best suited for a child and the top bed though small is comfortable for most adults. From here, you'll travel down the hallway to the laundry room (full sized washer, dryer and utility sink) and finally the master bedroom and bath. A large four-post bed stands dominantly in the center of the room with plenty of space to sit as well. The ensuite bathroom features a beautiful double head shower with Spanish tile throughout. There is a door which leads to the front portal directly off the bedroom.

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.

The fireplace is not currently available for use.

Cute house, beautiful property

Loved the property, alpacas we’re adorable and the little chapel was so sweet. Loved all the land and space to play. The house was also super cute, but a bit dusty and overly full of stuff making it feel a bit cramped. But, everything we needed was available and check in was super smooth. This place is great for kids to play outside, and only 10 minutes from downtown Santa Fe!

Tesuque

The location was great. The grounds were lovely. There were 3 of us - multi generational family members so the 2nd and 3rd sleeping areas were open and not a problem. If you are traveling with people that need a closed off 2nd bedroom this might not be right for you.

Beautiful place and amazing grounds

This property was everything advertised and so much more. Fantastic location just 5 minutes north of downtown Santa Fe. Easy access form highway. 2 restaurants within walking distance. All 4 properties very private. Well decorated and plenty of everyday items were already in stock. We will be back.

The Country House

The Country House is located convenient to town yet was quiet, green and private. The kitchen was well equipped with most everything you might need. TV and stereo available but a bit difficult to navigate, could use some detailed instructions. We appreciated the covered parking and the pastoral atmosphere of the property. The alpacas were adorable. The upholstered furniture could use a bit of an update. The flowers and foliage were lovely but a bit overgrown, making the use of the handicapped ramp a bit challenging. We had a very nice visit and would consider returning.

Peace, Quiet and a Well Stocked Kitchen

The location was close enough to everything we wanted to do. The location was quiet and peaceful. The kitchen had some of the nicest pots and pans we have used at a Vbro. If we go back to Santa Fe we will certainly see if this house is available.

Peaceful weekend

Quintessential New Mexico vibe. Our stay was quiet and leisurely. There are plenty of nooks to tuck into in the house for reading or napping. Fun to go down and visit the alpacas and to check out the property. We also took a stellar drive up Pacheco Canyon to see the aspens.

Lovely country setting.

Quiet and pleasant country setting close to Santa Fe. Ours was a hiking vacation and this location was central to the hikes we planned. The Country House was very comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting on the large covered porch every eveving.

Looking for a getaway

We arrived at the property easily because Lauren gave us excellent directions. The house is charming! Just what we had hoped to find. We wanted to be outside of Santa Fe proper, so this property was ideal. We had a lovely time. The grounds are beautiful and obviously well kept. I’d love to return some day.

Country cottage heaven

We came to work on a writing project and had the pleasure of having the beautifully kept up garden all to ourselves...with the air smelling of pine resin, the temperature and breezes keeping everything cool, and everything we needed thoughtfully provided in both the kitchen and the bathrooms. It was a quiet paradise. Things that could be clearer in the description: the trestle bed's a bit broken down, so for two adult parties it might not quite work, but we were comfy after stuffing a comforter under it. And, there is road noise, but what can you do? The alpacas were charmers, and the abundant birds and butterflies, attendant bunny rabbit, darting lizards with their blue bowties...all charming. We'd like to come back! Lauren and Ash' were great and accommodating about giving a tour so we could figure out if a family reunion or retreat would work here. We'll recommend it!

Possibly The Best VRBO Stay Ever

Our recent stay at the Country Cottage was absolutely wonderful! The Cottage is a great little house perfect for the two of us and our adult daughter.I cannot imagine a more peaceful venue for our short vacation. The grounds were simply beautiful complete with a relaxing hammock, cute alpacas for feeding and cooing over, and a sweet little chapel for quiet reflection (what a perfect place this would be for a small wedding!). The cottage itself had multiple outdoor sitting areas that were wonderful in the cool Santa Fe air. We didn't cook any but the kitchen was very well equipped and there was a large dining table on the beautiful porch. The host was very nice and was available (on site) but was in no way intrusive. To reiterate, I simply cannot say enough about how delightful our stay was in this lovely little cottage. Over the past few years, my husband and I have stayed in many many VRBOs and Airbnbs across the country. The Country Cottage is quite possibly our favorite! We will definitely be back!

lovely small cottage

Had a great weekend in Tesuque to attend a concert at The Opera House. The property is in a great location to the venue. We stayed in the larger unit...master is lovely and very comfortable...the single bed in the second bedroom is very small and very uncomfortable so my older son used the fold out couch which was fine. Kitchen has great amenities. Loved being able to open so many windows and let the fresh air inside. We enjoyed feeding the llamas...they loved carrots. Outdoor full patio was great to sit outside and have coffee and read. This property is very peaceful and would return again.

A very special place for connecting with nature and family

Our family had a wonderful recent stay in Tesuque at this unique, lovely cottage. The highlight of this property is the incredibly beautiful outdoor spaces. The expansive, lush meadow steps from the back door served as the best "back yard" imaginable for us. We spent hours there playing cards, swinging in the hammock, watching the cottontail bunnies and butterflies and literally taking time to stop and smell the roses. We loved having our daily meals facing the mountains at the table on the cottage's large front porch. Feeding the alpacas among the wildflowers by the barn was so much fun! Jeff and Lauren went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be. We needed an escape from the city, and we certainly found it here. Thank you, and we hope to return soon!

Wonderful experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Country Cottage!! The home was absolutely beautiful and we were very well taken care of. The home was very clean and well maintained, and the description was spot-on. I really appreciated Lauren's initial email informing me about the sleeping arrangements so there wouldn't be any surprises. The home was the perfect size for our party of 5, and was very quaint and cozy...we didn't want to leave! We loved walking around the area exploring and feeding the alpacas. The caretakers were always around when we needed anything, and they provided excellent service. We visited during Christmas, which was an amazing time to visit Santa Fe. Staying at the Country Cottage was the perfect way to spend the holiday. Thank you so very much for allowing us to stay...we will most definitely be back! And we will absolutely recommend this property to our family and friends!

Return visit was as excellent as our first

After three months we have just returned from our second weekend visit to this treasure in quiet, verdant Tesuque. The property continues to be just as described and the hospitality of Lauren and Jeff as warm and helpful as ever. In the year ahead as we have additional opportunities to visit Santa Fe for weekend workshops and other events, we will choose this property again. It has all the comforts of home at a very reasonable price and in a convenient location.

Gorgeous location, perfect cottage

This cottage in Tesuque is one of the most special places our family has ever stayed. It is beautifully and thoughtfully equipped in every way--I enjoy cooking and found everything I needed in the charming kitchen, which has a view of the back garden and chapel. In the mornings it was difficult to decide whether to bring my pot of tea to the front porch with the exquisite view of the mountains; the back terrace, which faces an English-style garden in one direction and the wildness of the high desert in the other; or the Adirondack chairs under the apricot tree further up the hill. There are 2 comfortable and lovely sitting rooms indoors (a third space can also serve as a sitting room, though we used it as a bedroom for our daughters), an gorgeously-appointed master suite, and a full-size laundry room. It's clear that someone with a strong artistic sensibility decorated the house--there are beautiful and interesting things to look at in every direction, and the same can be said for the landscaping, which contrasts irrigated oases of lushness with the desert terrain. Each time we crossed the arroyo and caught sight of the cottage it was with a collective sigh of happiness. Oh, and Lauren and Jeff are the most kind and attentive of managers/hosts. They brought us fresh eggs from the chickens and helped the girls get to know the alpacas, and were a font of knowledge about local restaurants and sights. We were lucky to be cared for by them!

We loved our summer visit to Lauren's beautiful property in Tesuque

Lauren & Jeff, Many thanks to you both for making available your beautiful property to our family for our trip to visit Grandpa this summer. You both were outstanding hosts, we appreciated your quick responses, and your helpfulness in showing us around the property. The house was exactly as advertised: clean, beautifully furnished, convenient, with everything we needed for a great vacation. Lastly, our boys (5 & 3) truly loved feeding the Alpacas. Thank you so much, we look forward to booking your beautiful place again this winter. Sincerely, Mike & Kate
