Folk Art Inspired Folk House in Tesuque

The Folk House is located about 6 miles from the Plaza in the beautiful village of Tesuque. Tucked away in the hills near the Santa Fe Opera, it is a truly unique and charming property which features two other available guest houses and small chapel. If you have a larger group and are interested in renting our other spaces concurrently, please feel free to contact us.

For those with a love of the eclectic, this folk art inspired guest house is a fun departure from the traditional NewMexican interior design. The house is cozy and inviting with plenty to look at. Through the front gate is a lovely fenced front yard with a built-in banco, and tables and chairs for relaxing oudoors. When you enter the front door, you`ll find the cozy living room with plenty of seating. Please note the fireplace is not available due to an issue with the liner. Use of the fireplace could result in house fire.

Off of the living room is the bedroom with a comfortable reading chair and large closet. The bathroom connects to the bedroom and has a beautifully tiled combined bath and shower. The kitchen has the same charm with a brightly colored floor and copper counter tops with plenty of space and equipment to prepare your meals. There is a small table and chairs located in the kitchen with a larger table available in the living room. As you head towards the back door you`ll find the laundry room with full washer and dryer. The back portal features a built-in banco and table and chairs overlooking a beautiful lawn.

There is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy located around the property. Just a quick walk up a path and you`ll arrive at the large lawn which surrounds a small private chapel. Settle in under the large apricot tree or relax on the hammock nearby. Across the driveway are our resident alpacas who will look on with curiosity as you are traveling around the property. The property is also home to our on-site property managers, Jeff and Lauren and their two young children.

Please don`t hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Guests will have full access to The Folk House as well as use of several other outdoors spaces.

My family and I live in a house on the property and will be available during your stay. We try to give our guests plenty of space but typically like to stop by and introduce ourselves at check-in. Update: Due to covid - we provide contactless check in and check out but are available if needed.

The Folk House is located on a large property and while you can conveniently access Santa Fe, it is feels like you are nestled away. The small village of Tesuque has two restaurants (one more casual, and another more formal) and a great foundry and sculpture garden. Most of the entertainment will be found in Santa Fe.

Guests will need a vehicle to get around comfortably although guests have had success using Uber for the occasional trip.

The winters here can be rather snowy and we recommend that guests have a 4WD or at least an AWD vehicle during the winter months. While we provide snow removal, the roads can be pretty slick.
