Perfection

This beautiful home was perfect for our stay in the Santa Fe area. Tesuque Village is lovely and this little house provided the peace and quiet we'd hoped for. The house itself is well appointed, with very comfortable beds and any item you may need for a stay. The host was very responsive and helpful! While there, I was able to enjoy a hike around the property. Beautifully maintained and truly relaxing. Thank you to the Porter Place (April and Pat). We will most definitely be back soon!

Wonderful getaway location

We enjoyed everything about our stay and hope to return before long. The house was charming, comfortable, very clean, and stocked with everything we needed. I'd looked forward to peace and beautiful views from the patio spaces and was not disappointed! The location is convenient to Santa Fe shopping and museums, hiking, as well as attractions just beyond the city. Our hosts were thoughtful and welcoming... Five star recommendation!

Fabulous

Excellent accommodations surrounded by nature..This home excels in comfort and decor . The location is convenient to anything you want in Santa Fe. Sitting on the front porch or back patio in the morning or evening is a delight.

Hidden Gem & More

The owners have attended every teeny detail in this piece of paradise. From the moment we exited the car, we were enthralled. Colorful, fragrant flowers and the beautiful surrounding environment greeted us before we entered the charming house. Although the house is perfect, comfortable, inviting, the patios beckoned. Nature surrounds this little gem. We loved watching the hummingbirds feeding on the variety of flowers, spotting an occasional jackrabbit, and visiting with their friendly horses who checked on us each day. I wish I were there now!

Top Notch

This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. Very clean, convenient to all activities, and quiet (except for the coyotes!). Welcoming hosts, hiking right out the back door, and a lovely front porch for morning coffee and evening sunsets make this an ideal spot.

In forty years, our favorite stay

We've been traveling to Santa Fe for decades and have stayed in more places than we can count, but this property is the best of them all. The location is peaceful and magnificent, the house is thoughtfully appointed and so comfortable, access is easy, and the host is delightful. We will be back!

A true haven

Everything I needed and things I didn’t even know I needed. The remoteness of Porters Place provides a quiet and reflective spot among nature … with all the wonderful modern conveniences! Beds were comfy, the radiant heated floors were amazing, and the level of hospitality was something I haven’t experienced much of in my travels. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe. It was a true pleasure to make Porter Place my resting spot while exploring Santa Fe. I recommend to all adult travelers and will choose Porter Place if I find myself in the area again.

Perfect getaway

Absolutely delightful property with everything you need. The drive in is a bit rugged, pick a rental car that can handle dirt roads, can be difficult to find for the first time if it's dark out - well worth the oasis that awaits at the end! Dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave, oven/stove, electric kettle, coffee maker, coffee grinder, big fridge/freezer, TV, wifi all in perfect working order. Enough kitchen equipment to cook some good meals (but local cuisine is easily accessible and delicious). Heated floors made my toes happy. The beds are large and comfy, pillows were just right. Outdoor furniture perfect for some prime star gazing. Feels like you're tucked away in the wild but you're still within 15min of Santa Fe. Can't say enough good things about this place, hope to come back someday!

Exceeded expectations

We were in SF for the opera, and the cottage is super convenient to it. Locationally, it's also a breeze to head over the Dale Ball trail system for morning hikes, then drop into town to galleries. The cottage itself is beautifully set up for a couple or two. It's recently built with a great layout and plenty of indoor/outdoor space. The dirt road entrance immediately puts you in the mood for a special experience.

Restful Retreat

This little house was perfect for our stay. Out of the way and quiet, yet accessible to just about anything one could want. Super clean with a well equipped kitchen in case you want to stay in and cook instead of going out. Tesuque Market is a deliciously funky market/restaurant a 15 minute walk away and is a must. April and Patrick are very gracious hosts - we will definitely return!

Brilliant Peaceful Getaway Spot

Porter Place is in fact a hidden gem! Not only was access to the property very straightforward, a couple of gates and a meandering dirt road through beautiful piñon to arrive at this darling house. Tremendous attention to detail is found in nearly every corner. The kitchen is outfitted with everything you need for a short or longer stay. The cozy living room is perfect for reading a book or two in front of the wood stove. The WiFi worked just fine and the smart TV was easy to connect with Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. The beds are quite comfortable, the linens soft and cozy and the bathrooms are both sunny and bright. The outdoor spaces are also just what you need. The back patio is covered with a nice table and wonderful kiva fireplace. And the front porch sunsets cannot be beat...perfect for that end-of-day beverage of choice. Plus you can hike right out the back door and find your way on to the National Forest. April and Pat have created an ideal vacation home for when you're looking for a little peace and quiet. The drive into SantaFe was only 10-12 minutes, with several grocery store options close by.

Better than the pictures!

This was a beautiful home located in an idyllic pastoral setting well away from the road. We enjoyed coffee on the front porch in our pajamas each morning, overlooking the distant hills/mountains and enjoying the flowers planted all around the property. That same location was perfect for watching the sunsets, and for reading a book after returning from the day’s outing. Fifteen minutes via the beautiful back road to Santa Fe, 40 minutes to Los Alamos, and about an hour to Taos. We cooked breakfasts and a few dinners at home. The kitchen was nicely stocked with everything we needed and the grill was very nice. Comfy bed, nice sheets and towels … all the comforts of home really. Plus the sound of coyotes, an occasional owl, and the horses who meandered by now and then. We loved it here and would definitely return. This place would be great for 2 couples as it has 2 master suites with king beds and spacious bathrooms.

We Adore This Place!

When we visit Santa Fe, we prefer to stay in Tesuque — the whole area just oozes charm. We discovered April’s gorgeous guesthouse back in 2019 and now often book our trips around the house’s available dates. The property is nestled in the Tesuque hills — quiet and private — with both a front and back porch. We spend most of our evenings around the back porch kiva drinking wine and luxuriating in the ambiance. Sometimes we cook (the kitchen is well stocked with all kinds of dishes/gadgets/utensils) — mostly we eat at a favorite haunt. We love all our outings, but we always look forward to returning “home” so we can kick back and relax. This was our third visit. Will we return for a fourth? What do YOU think?!

Awesome property! Peaceful, quiet and rural but only a short drive and minutes from the plaza, skiing and other natural attractions. A car here is recommended unless you plan to stay only at the cabin, which you could beacause there is plenty of hiking right out the back door! The house is beautiful and perfrectly appointed and equiped with everything you would need. The hosts are super-friendly, quick responders if you have questions and available if you need anything but otherwise you have complete privacy. This is the best vacation rental we have stayed at and it really gave us a taste of local Santa Fe life!! Definitely we will be back!

Wonderful Stay at a Beautiful Home

My husband and I had a lovely stay at this beautiful, private property in Tesuque. The host was very gracious to leave a bottle of Champagne and fresh flowers in the home, for our anniversary. We appreciated how clean the home was and all the amenities available for maximum comfort. We went hiking on trails right there in the backyard (the snow didn't deter us), restaurants are close by and grocery stores, attractions, etc., is an easy drive away. The fireplace kept us warm, and it was hard to leave the house at times because it was so cozy. We hope this home will be available whenever we return to New Mexico, because it will be hard to stay anywhere else...the bar is set very high. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

5-Star hike-out

This is a very (very) nice, recently built house. Only positive things to say about the house and patio. Hiking from the backyard (as far as your legs can take you) is superb. This was our favorite morning activity: coffee, hike, and then relax. Drive time to downtime Santa Fe is less than 18 minutes. Great location.
