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!

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!

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.

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!

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?!

Wonderful Peace and Quiet
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.

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!

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.

We had a wonderful stay at the Porter Place. I have never stayed in a VRBO house that was as quiet and peaceful as this one. This place is minutes from the Tesuque Village Market and a short drive to the Santa Fe Plaza. It was extremely clean and well-stocked with kitchen appliances and basics. April is a wonderful host and has a great deal of knowledge about Santa Fe. Two thumbs up.

A beautiful home base to experience the Land of Enchantment
This property exceeded our expectations. My husband and I stayed here for our second anniversary/delayed honeymoon. We would have been happy with a comfortable house to use as a home base as we explored the area, but this lovely house was a destination unto itself. We greatly enjoyed the porches for taking in the brisk spring air, and watching the sun set and rise. The property is close to the National Forest, and we felt secluded in the best way, as well as thrilled that we could hike directly into the forest, surrounded by the heady smell of the pinyon pines and junipers as we gazed at the distant mountains. The interior of the house is airy and tastefully decorated with local art and Southwestern-style accent rugs, and it was so clean and comfortable! We sat in the living room a lot, journaling, sketching, and generally hanging out. We also cooked several of our meals, and the stove was very efficient, though it was an adjustment learning to cook at high altitude. The owner, April, is very helpful and even went out of her way to make our stay more comfortable. My only regret is not getting to know her and her family better, and not meeting her horses and dogs. Maybe next time! Overall, if you are looking for a beautiful space for peace and quiet, while also being close to Santa Fe, and a short roadtrip away from Ojo Caliente, Bandelier National Monument, and the Ghost Ranch (and much more), I could not recommend this property more highly! We hope to return in the years to come.

Truly a hidden gem!
What a remarkable guest house! This is the second time my husband and I stayed here, and this trip was even better than our first. If you are looking for quiet and privacy, an extremely well-maintained and immaculate house with appliances far better than a typical rental, this is the place for you. Easy access to Santa Fe and even closer to Tesuque, with a local restaurant and excellent take-out or dine-in. April is a wonderful host, and she is highly responsive via phone/text to questions you might have or issues that might arise (she immediately and kindly solved a problem that we had actually created with an appliance). Santa Fe has so much to do and so many wonderful restaurants. This is the only house we consider when we want a vacation in the area.
