About this property

The Cowboy Cottage - Vintage Western Inspired Cottage In Tesuque

The Cowboy Cottage 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 available guest houses, and a small chapel. If you have a larger group and are interested in renting our other spaces concurrently, please inquire.

What would an old ranch be without a place for the cowboys? This cottage has a studio layout and is the perfect size for one guest or a couple. Tucked back behind our other guest houses, the Cowboy Cottage has two outdoor spaces. The first one you will find located right in front of the entrance with just enough shade to keep you cool during the warmer months. Through the front door is a sweet built in window seat with table. A small seating area sits beside it and leads to the adorable kitchen. With all the essentials but on a slightly smaller scale, you should be able to whip up simpler meals in between your jaunts into town. The bathroom is on the smaller side and it should be noted that it might not be the most comfortable fit for anyone over 6 feet tall. Please inquire with us if you would like information about our other guest spaces if this is the case. The bedroom is located off the living space and is a large open area with built in banco, desk, closets and the queen-sized bed. Two french doors open out to the covered porch which faces the large lawn and private chapel.

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.

Loads of Charm

We loved the cowboy cottage. Though there are other rentals right next door, feels very private. Loved the chapel and the apple tree. The apples were delicious!! Also appreciated the proximity to Santa Fe. Why stay in a hotel when you could stay here?

Excellent, great location for the Santa Fe Opera

Uniquely charming cottage. The surrounding property is beautiful, well-kept and quiet. The bed was comfortable. The kitchenette had everything we needed for our meals (mainly breakfasts). There are two porch areas facing different directions. It is very close to the opera. The host was a good communicator.

Beautiful location and property - relaxing stay

What a gem of solitude, greenery and beauty this property is. The Cowboy Cottage was wonderful, clean, and charming; even better than described. The property grounds were a pleasure to walk around. What a wonderful oasis, and walking distance from Tesque and must a few miles from Santa Fe. Thanks to Lauren and her husband for such a great stay.

Wonderful stay!

The cottage was exactly as described. Very clean, charming, and perfectly sized for a couple. The host was super responsive and accessible. The property is absolutely lovely and we highly recommend enjoying your morning coffee outside on one of the many seating options and taking in the views. HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here! The location is central to everything as well! 😁💛

Cowboy Cottage

Really quiet location well off of HWY 285. Accomodation was quite homey. Lots of pillows and "cowboy" stuff. Great written information about the property and amenities. Plenty of storage and seating. Saw a nice six point buck in velvet eating from the fruit tree on my departure.

Magical getaway

This place was heaven to my husband and I. The grounds were beautiful. The cottage was the cutest place I’ve ever been in. The church in the back warmed my heart. From the moment we arrived the wildlife and beauty awed us. From hummingbirds, elk and bunnies ( oh and the alpacas) we were just smiling in constant excitement of being so close with nature. We would 100% go back again!

Awesome

My 9 year old son and I drove up to Santa Fe on a boys ski trip. We wanted a cool cabin / man cave rather than a pricy hotel. I’ll tel ya, this was better than the priciest of hotels. Super cool!!! That and the wildlife was a stunner. I highly recommend this spot.

Truly Magical

Our stay at Cowboy Cottage was magical, charming and very comfortable. A marvelous collection of folk art ornaments the property, both inside and out. The grounds are very beautiful, abounding in flowers, fruit trees, greenery, wildlife, and interesting sitting areas. Visiting the alpacas was always great fun. Our hosts were very friendly, kind, and sensitive to our needs. We absolutely loved it!

A peaceful and special to stay right outside of Santa Fe

My partner and I stayed here for three nights during a road trip in New Mexico. The location was perfect - it’s a quick 10 minute drive to Santa Fe plaza but the property is tucked away in a quiet, beautifully landscaped area. We loved saying hello to the Alpacas and enjoying morning coffee in the outdoor space where there is a beautiful chapel and ample spots to meditate, read, and take in the peaceful moments. The cottage is perfect for two people with a very comfortable bed and various outdoor spaces available to enjoy. We saw a large buck one morning that came to grab fruit that fell from the fruit tree right off of the back patio. The bathroom is small like stated in the description but worked fine for us. The cottage houses many Southwest themed items, pictures, books, and art. The multitude of items in the home did cause dust allergies for us during the fall allergy season. Otherwise our stay was perfect and will recommend it to friends coming to visit the area!

Overall the property and location are perfect. We suggest that a deeper clean is in order for the cowboy cottage. We will return in hopes that there will be some attention to detail around the “edges”. Lots of clutter. We just piled pillows out of the way. We look forward to our next visit.

Great location for opera goers

If you are going to the Santa Fe Opera, this is a great location. It's a 5 minute drive to opera and about 15 minutes to downtown Santa Fe. The casita has everything you need for your stay. Being an older building, there is no air conditioning. The temperature was in the 90's and the fan provided some relief. It was hard sleeping. I would stay there again in the cooler months.

Loved the location and property but there were issues with the house.

Problems with the wiring of the house. A fuse blew whenever the TV and the convection oven were on at the same time, the bedroom lights stayed on even if I turned the switch off. Scary and disappointing.

Wonderful Stay at Cowboy Cottage

My husband and I rented Cowboy Cottage for 5 nights in August. We absolutely loved it. Lauren sent us very clear location directions and check-in information and came by to check on us to be sure we were happy with the accommodations and to see if there was anything else we needed. The photos don't do the property justice. It is much more beautiful. The cottage has obviously been decorated by someone with great taste and attention to detail. It was spotlessly clean. We also loved the Tesuque location. It was a super easy and quick drive into the Santa Fe Plaza area. It took less than 10 minutes. We really enjoyed late afternoons sitting under the trees, the hammock and the 2 porches, enjoying wine and relaxing before dinner. Can't forget about the alpacas. They are so cute and we had fun feeding them baby carrots everyday. I was hesitant to rent this property because it was not air conditioned. We are from Texas, so we are used to summer indoor temperatures in the 60's and winter indoor temperatures in the high 70's. But even in August, no air conditioning was not a problem in the cottage. They had a fan that was more than adequate and was not even needed at night. As other guests have mentioned, the bathroom is small. But my husband is 6 ft. and weighs a little over 200 lbs. He did not have any complaints. The grounds and flowers are beautiful and beckon you to be outside. Just being there makes you smile. Can't get much better than that. We will definitely return.

Richly decorated Cowboy home

The inside of an outside of this place were so exquisitely decorated with the cowboy theme. In addition the outdoor landscaping was very rich and soothing at the same time. As a landscaper myself, I seldom see B&B places put much effort into the landscape.
