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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?!

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.

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.
