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!

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.

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!

Wonderful Stay!
This is our 2nd time staying at this amazing property. We spent our anniversary here this time and were greeted with flowers and sparkling wine at check-in. April was very communicative and gave some good restaurant recommendations. The house is so comfortable and beautiful, it is a pleasure to just spend time in. We will be back!

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!

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!

Beautiful house and property.
This was the perfect place for us, two couples who are old friends meeting from different parts of the country. Very accessible to downtown Santa Fe, but so rural and quiet. The house itself was incredibly tasteful, clean, and well laid out. All the amenities we needed. And the sunset view was incredible.

Quiet Seclusion and Convenience
The house has everything you need for a wonderful stay. The location is tranquil and offers great stargazing, yet it is only a few minutes from the conveniences of Santa Fe. Easy access to the highway for day trips to Taos, Abiquiu, and Albuquerque was also nice. April was very helpful and offered excellent information about the area. Make sure you stop by the Honey Salon and Shake Foundation.

Well above average
We were so happy to have chosen this clean, quiet retreat away from the congestion of Santa Fe. The home was filled with quality furnishings and the fresh air and scenery from both the front and back porches were a beautiful sight.

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.

Great stay.
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 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.

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.

Everything I Expected - And More
The "Hidden Gem" is Tesuque truly lived up to its billing. It was private, quiet, and set in a great natural setting. The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, well-appointed and stocked with all the cooking and eating supplies anyone would want. We enjoyed quiet mornings together with the warmth and beauty of wood-burning stove inside the home (the instructions were also very easy to follow). And we used the and the fireplace on the back patio in the evenings. Wonderful!

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!

An Amazing Rental
We have been staying in vacation rentals for more than 15 years and sometimes 10-12 times a year. This rental ranks near, if not, at the top of our list. We have already scheduled another week in September. Great location if you like out of the way and "somewhat remote" rentals that has everything you need. And yet, you are only 15-20 minutes from Santa Fe. Charming, well-furnished, comfortable beds, great place to relax and read or just listen to the horses and other sounds of nature. Everything is just as described and April makes it very easy to just settle in.

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!

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?!
