Beautiful views

The house is tucked away off a short gravel road with absolutely beautiful views. We really enjoyed spending time out on the patio each morning and evening. Getting into town was quick and easy. Donna, the host, was right next door and was extremely helpful and gracious.

Our retreat in Tesuque

Authentic Northern New Mexican home in the hills. Comfortable 2 bedroom, 2 bathrooms. Good for our happy trip with our adult Granddaughter. Very well stocked kitchen helped to make our stay comfortable. Of course we brought our own foods, especially for breakfast. Dark skies for viewing at night. Very nice owner.

Tesuque casita stay

In spite of the stormy weather that took out power for five hours, we had a lovely stay at Donna’s rental. To wake up with a stunning Mountain View in the quiet area was so special.The casita had classic regional touches which enhanced the space. Easy meal making in the kitchen, airy front room with a fireplace we used, charming bedrooms, and nice sized closets. Shower spray is adequate, but could use upgrades. Tesuque is lovely lovely as a base. Donna was very responsive. We’d love to come back!

Perfect Place!

This is our second time staying at this perfect little place. Just what we wanted...quiet, great views, a fire in the fireplace. This home is located just a few minutes out of Santa Fe, and is close to one of our favorite restaurants, Tesuque Village Market. Again, perfect.

Donna was the perfect hostess! We had everything we needed. To include things we forget (like Pepcid at bedside and portable fans for those who can’t sleep without noise!). It is close to DT Santa Fe and close to Ski Santa Fe yet nestled in the mountains! It was very clean, well kept and the temperature inside was perfect!

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!
