Welcome to El Nido Lane Tesuque, an enchanting 1-bedroom casita nestled in the serene and upscale Tesuque Village neighborhood. Perfect for a romantic getaway or honeymoon, this adobe home, dating back 120 years, has undergone meticulous restoration, offering a captivating retreat that transports you to a distant paradise. Despite its peaceful seclusion, the casita is conveniently situated within walking distance of charming restaurants, galleries, and shops, with downtown Santa Fe just a short 15-minute drive away.
An adobe wall surrounds El Nido Lane Tesuque and its gorgeously landscaped courtyard, ensuring privacy and tranquility. You’ll find numerous seating areas and patios where you can laze in the sun or enjoy drinks and dinner in the shade. Think of it as The Secret Garden transplanted to the Southwest!
The interior is no less dazzling, with its viga ceiling beams, wide-planked wood floors, adobe walls and shuttered windows. The furnishings of the large living room are both comfortable and elegant. You’ll love snuggling on the sofa to watch a movie on the large flat-screen TV with cable, especially in winter, when the wood-burning kiva fireplace imbues the room with a warm glow.
The kitchen/dining area is another roomy, welcoming space, with 2 tables and modern appliances, cookware and tableware. Sure, numerous acclaimed restaurants are merely a stroll away (including the wildly popular Tesuque Village Market and El Nido). Once you see how charming this dining space is, you might want to eat most of your meals in. If you need to catch up on work (or want to post photos of the charming casita online), you can set up your laptop here or in the small office - El Nido Lane Tesuque has free WiFi for your convenience. And speaking of convenience, the home has its own washer and dryer as well.
The primary bedroom is just as restful and romantic as the rest of El Nido Lane Tesuque. The king-size 4-poster bed invites you to turn in early and sleep late. The adjacent bathroom is, like the kitchen, beautifully tiled; lingering in its tub will be a pleasure, especially after a day on the go. We’ll provide all the clean towels you could possibly need, as well as bedding - leave yours at home where they belong.
The Tesuque Village neighborhood has the dual advantages of being conveniently close to numerous attractions and being far enough from downtown that you can relax away from the hubbub. From El Nido Lane Tesuque you can walk to several art galleries, including Shidoni Foundry and Gallery, Glenn Green Galleries and Sculpture Garden and Tesuque Glass Works. The Santa Fe Opera is just a few miles away, as is Camel Rock Casino. Santa Fe Plaza, the galleries of Canyon Road, the Palace of the Governors, Loretto Chapel and numerous other must-sees are also only minutes away by car. As for outdoor adventures, you can be on the hiking trails of Atalaya Mountain or the slopes of Ski Santa Fe in no more than 45 minutes.
Once you settle in at El Nido Lane Tesuque, though, you may want to spend most of your stay luxuriating in its lush courtyard and time-honored charm. And why not? It’s your vacation, so enjoy it however you like—and you’ll definitely enjoy staying at El Nido Lane Tesuque. So book your reservation today… before someone else gets to it first!

Terrific location, quiet and lovely yard to hang out. Teague Village Market nearby was a giant plus! The food so good- we ate there twice during our stay. Casita was artfully curated and cozy. Bed comfortable. Will definitely stay again.

This is everything it looks like in the pictures and more! You couldn't ask for a better location or a more authentic New Mexico experience - we had the best time and will be back!
We had a lovely stay in this charming 1 bedroom house. We loved the authentic decor as well as the outside gardens. The location is very private and quiet. The proximity to the Tesuque village market is ideal.
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. It was beautifully decorated, full of historic charm, had a lovely and large garden, and was very private in a quiet neighborhood. It was a wonderful oasis to return to after a day wandering around Santa Fe. Highly recommend!

We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us a 5-Star review.
This is a lovely little place to stay, had everything we needed. Only a couple things I let the manager know, the chairs you see in the picture...one was completely broken and there were some tiles missing on the counter. Otherwise super cute place to stay, very quiet and secluded.
The property was quite and clean. A little on the minimal side. It would be nice to have an upgraded shower head and maybe a little firepit in the courtyard.
The casita was an traditional well decorated adobe at the end of a private road. Plenty of parking with a nice walled outdoor area. It was clean but soft furnishings seemed a little worn and dirty including upholstery in living area and bedspread. Would be nice if some firewood be provided. Two great restaurants just down the street!
The house has everything. House is old like grandma house with great memories. Was no need to communicate with host. They let us drop our luggage earlier due to our fly
Great job everyone
Santa Fe is beautiful town Tesuque is calm and romantic

Thank you for the kind words and positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
This is a lovely oasis away from the hustle and bustle but just minutes from the downtown plaza. The casita is small but ample for a couple, the bed is super comfortable and supportive, and the authenticity of the space is utterly charming. Word of caution though--it is not designed for people with mobility issues, there is no dishwasher, and the bathroom is a very small space. It would be uncomfortable for a large person.

Rustic and small.
Door openings short. Bed squeaks with every movement. Closet step down is dangerous without warning. Otherwise very quaint and pretty. Access not designed for large vehicles. Very narrow driveway and hard to find. Need to put location sign at bottom of driveway.

Hi Anton, thank you so much for staying with us and taking the time to post your review. Our local office has been made aware of the concern you expressed pertaining to finding the unit and they will address it accordingly. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The squeaking bed will also be addressed by our maintenance team. We appreciate you bringing these things to our attention and hope you choose to stay with us again in the future.
We had a love/hate relationship with this casita. Love: the location, the front courtyard, the privacy and the gated area for our puppies. Hated: the tall bed is hard to get into/out of, especially for seniors or those with mobility issues. Our main complaint was the front screen door didn’t close properly and the screen itself wasn’t attached at the bottom. We attempted to tape it down ourselves since we needed the air flow as unit doesn’t have air conditioning. We responded to a survey on our first full day in the unit and were assured management would follow up, but we never heard from anyone. Don’t know if the screen door situation was to blame, but we encountered an infestation of flies during our stay. We killed 50 and finally gave up. For someone who has an aversion to flies and the germs they carry, that was the deal breaker for us.

Beautiful small house. "Road" in is iffy but OK once you know. Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to local popular bistro. Near Santa Fe by convenient back road but out of the city bustle. Excellent responsive property manager.
Great, quaint, and rustic casita. Quiet and private, too. On hill just above The Tesuque Market and the restaurant El Nido.Close to Santa Fe. Stayed two weeks and wished I had booked a month. It's a fantastic place and everything about it exudes " Northern New Mexico." Would book again in a heartbeat.
