Tranquil Tesuque Retreat With Kiva Fireplace

Summary:

Tranquil Tesuque Retreat



The Space:

PROFESSIONALLY HOSTED BY TWO CASITAS

- AirDNA’s Cleanest Property Manager 2025, 2026.

- 24/7 guest support, detailed property guides, and best of all—no checkout chores.



SUMMARY

Situated in the historic village of Tesuque, this 400-year-old adobe home has been lovingly updated. The location is secluded, but it is only a short drive to downtown Santa Fe. The home features gorgeous original artwork from local artists, with incredible high-end contemporary furnishing, vigas, hand-troweled plaster walls, and mesquite wood end cut floors.



LIVING AREA AND DINING

The living room is located between the two bedrooms and is furnished with high-end and eclectic furniture that offers ample seating for your group to gather. The living room opens into the dining room, which seats four, and features a gorgeous kiva fireplace. A large picture window looks out into the garden.



KITCHEN

The fully-equipped kitchen is perfect for cooking from home, and an additional four-person breakfast table is available for dining in the kitchen.



BED AND BATH

Both bedrooms have queen beds, and have doors that lead directly to the outdoor space. The second bedroom has a charming gas fireplace.



OUTDOOR SPACE

The patio gives this home its name. This large space features a gas grill for cooking, and multiple tables for outdoor dining while enjoying the foliage and landscaping.



LOCATION

.3 miles to Tesuque Village Market

3.4 miles to the Santa Fe Opera

6 miles to downtown Santa Fe

6.6 miles to the Railyard

6.9 miles to Canyon Road



PLEASE NOTE:

- A small cot for children is available in the living room.

- The fireplace is available from October 15th - April 15th

- This home is dog-friendly (for stays shorter than 14 nights) with an additional $150 fee, however dogs are not allowed on the furniture. Any pet hair found on the furniture may result in additional cleaning fees.

- The home stays nice and cool given its double adobe construction which is shaded in the summer without any air conditioning. There are fans should you want them.

- The TVs in this home are for streaming only. Cable, satellite, and basic cable are not available.

-This is a safe and authentic New Mexico neighborhood. Tesuque still holds all the world charm and mix of cultures that much of Santa Fe lost years ago. You will be staying in a socially and economically diverse neighborhood. As an example, Val Kilmer had purchased land and lived only a few blocks from this home and on the way up to your house, you will see homes that have been lived in by the descendants of the first families that originally came here when the Spanish first arrived. Some of these homes are a bit of an eyesore. If that bothers you the house is not for you.

- The outside of this home is monitored by security cameras.

- All-wheel or four-wheel drive is recommended when renting this home in the winter months.

We had a wonderful stay at this amazing place! We were impressed with the home, the furnishings, comfort, the cleanliness, and the responsiveness and great communication with our host. It was in a great location for our activities, with a great restaurant in walking distance, and the neighborhood was quiet and very unique. They thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. We highly recommend it for a stay in Santa Fe.

Loved this place! We will be back!

Everything about the stay deserved five stars... from the communication with the property manager to the location and comfort of this beautiful home. We had everything we needed for our much needed getaway. Close enough to all the shopping and restaurants but far enough that it was so tranquil (as the ad states). The secret garden was a plus and we spent a lot of time enjoying the nice weather out on the patio with our dog who had plenty of space to explore the garden. We are already booking our second trip back here and are so thankful this place is available.

Tesuque Delight

Fabulous location ~ felt totally safe in this home as a woman traveling alone. Garden was blooming while I was there and it was welcoming and beautifully designed. Lots of fabulous art work in the house. Absolutely appreciated the welcome gift ~ the salsa was phenomenal! Dog park just 10 minutes away by car. House was clean and had everything I needed to be comfortable.

Clean! Lots of steps over thresholds

Clean, well maintained and nicely decorated home. Nice location. Enclosed courtyard good for dogs but there are dogs next door who want your dog to know it’s their turf :) Bathroom awkward because of sink location and door won’t stay closed but good storage for your toiletries. Great kitchen, excellent oven/stove. Beds too hard, but that’s just me. I had to sleep on the couch but wouldn’t work for tall person. I would have appreciated some literature in the house for things to do in the area, but did appreciate the chips, salsa and wine. Courtyard has lovely fruit tree and good outdoor seating. Other than that, I think it has great potential for a wildflower garden for more color. I am also uncomfortable with any uncovered windows but they are covered in the bedrooms. **The steps going up to the house and into every threshold needs to be mentioned in the ad, as older people, especially, could easily fall**

Thank you for the review! We are so sorry about the neighbor's dog. He has generally not disturbed our guests for the many years we have been managing this home, so we are going to have a conversation with the neighbor to see what can be done to make this home's front yard more peaceful. Future guests should be aware that we have medium firm mattresses at all Two Casitas homes. We will send our handyman to look at the bathroom door, as we have not had anyone mention that it cannot close before. The layout is a little bit quirky due to the age of the home. The stairs are mentioned in the property guide and check-in instructions that we send to all guests. Two Casitas always sends a local area guide to every guest along with their check-in instructions. Any guests requesting further recommendations are encouraged to communicate with our friendly and knowledgeable reservationists!

Charming Adobe Home with a Few Noise Considerations

Two Casitas is a VRBO that boasts a beautifully decorated and charming Adobe home. While there were several positive aspects to my stay, I must mention one notable downside that affected the overall tranquility of the experience. Let’s start with the positives. Two Casitas truly captures the essence of Adobe architecture with its well-thought-out interior design. The attention to detail in the decor is remarkable, and I found myself admiring the artwork and furniture that enhanced the overall ambiance. The home’s charm and character create a warm and inviting atmosphere that is hard to resist. However, there is one aspect that needs improvement. Unfortunately, the neighborhood surrounding the home has a considerable number of dogs, which significantly impacted the desired peacefulness. In particular, the two large dogs next door seemed to bark incessantly throughout the day and well into the evening. Another small dog on the opposite side yapped occasionally, within feet of the open window. This constant noise disrupted the serenity of the setting and made it challenging to fully relax or enjoy the quiet moments. This is a lovely home in a convenient location, but not a quiet retreat for relaxing.

Greg, thank you for sharing your experience at the home with us. We agree, the home reflects an authentic Southwestern style and it sure to make for an unforgettable experience. It truly allows you to live like a local while you're here in Santa Fe! That being said, this home is in a local neighborhood and it is true that many neighbors in the area have dogs. There are a lot of dogs in the neighborhood, but they have not shown to be disruptive to the vast majority of previous stays.

The property itself is lovely. Nice and clean and a beautiful garden to hang out in. Where there is a problem is with the neighbors dog and I noticed this has been mentioned before in reviews. He barked a little the first and last night but on our second night he barked very loudly and aggressively starting about 9:30pm and barked constantly until after 2:30am. He was in the yard behind the house and the fence is a few feet off the back bedroom wall. The whole house echoed with the noise. I am a dog person so I normally would not complain about a dog but no one in the house was able to sleep. My husband and I managed the next day on little sleep but my 86 year old mom missed out on a whole day of fun in SF because of being so tired. Again the house itself is awesome just something needs to be done about the dog next door.
