Lovely historic adobe ranch house. Plenty of bathrooms and bedroom space. Kitchen was nice, and was easy to eat all our meals out on the covered porch on the two giant picnic tables. Hummingbird feeders attracted many birds. Nice shady lawn space too, that was really nice for all of us to gather on lawn chairs in the breezy shade. Friendly, responsive and helpful host. Very peaceful and secluded area. Pool was great.

A perfect home for a wonderful family vacation!
We all LOVED this house and its setting. One family member described it as "magical." We wanted to stay in a place that's unique - and NOT like a hotel. And it had to have a pool. The Santa Fe Rance Estate was perfect for us. The house is very comfortable and well-equipped, with cozy nooks as well as big spaces inside and out. We loved reading the descriptions of each of the rooms, and of the petroglyphs and grinding stones on kiva hearths. The kids in our group ranged in age from 5 to 18, and all loved it...In fact, one day when some adults went to Taos, the kids ALL opted to stay home to swim and hang out. We didn't get to meet Will, as he was on a trip, but we met his delightful parents and felt very well looked-after. We would recommend this property to everyone - and would like to go back again ourselves.!

Unique
Beautiful ranch home; best part of the home was the outdoor patio which everyone in our group enjoyed. Most disappointing feature was the outdoor pool and multilevels of the indoor spaces- unlit steps to different rooms, rock steps to pool with no handrails, and general inaccessibility for handicapped made this home less attractive.

Stunning retreat.
Perfect place for our group to unwind and enjoy the magical surroundings of Santa Fe. Tons of space with loads of history. Gigantic pool with mountain views. Didn’t appear to have AC in the activity room but we spent most of our time by the pool/hot tub. Highly recommend!

Do you want to have no neighbors except the humming birds and lizards. Look no further. The property is beyond beautiful. Plenty of sleeping options nice kitchen and hang out spaces. One of the best pools I have ever swam in! If you want a farm retreat this is the place to go. Best part it is 15 mins away from Santa Fe.

Amazing Property
We loved everything about this house. There was plenty of room for all of us and was stocked with essentials. Will is a great host, he is responsive to questions and even let us know when he would be on the property to tend to the cows so we could visit with them! The pool and game room were great for the kids and the adults.

Family Vacation
Our family vacation this year we stayed at this cool place, ages 20-90. We did a lot of exploring, reading of history regarding the house and surrounding area. Great location, easy to hit some of our destinations to hike, explore for rocks and shop the cities. Kitchen had everything us foodies needed, including great grill outside. Great communication with host! We had snow first few days but by the end it was almost 70 degrees-who says you can’t ski and get a sunburn while in the Ojo spa in one week!

Not enough credit
Our stay was amazing! The pictures do not do the ranch justice. Everything from communication with William to the house and property itself was just perfect. There is so much history in the house itself and William took the time to post guides around the house and in the book of information at the entrance. Our whole group had something to do while at the house. There was a game room, good connection for wifi and streaming, toys, sun room, trails, and so much more! Highly recommend you stay here. Even my review doesn't do William's place justice!

Beautiful, historic hacienda
This was a beautiful property not to far from Albuquerque and within an easy drive of Santa Fe. We had multiple families with children staying and it was comfortable for everyone. Lots of historical items and books to browse if that's your jam, and the game room and great rooms had activities for kids and adults alike. Make sure to check if the *heated* pool is open/available or not, because we were surprised it was drained for the season. Also be aware three of the bedrooms are connected such that you have to walk through each one to get to the bathroom on that side of the house. Great stay overall!

Hacienda Home with a History
We enjoyed being together as a extended family over Thanksgiving. There was plenty of room for our 4 families (9 adults & 6 children). We loved being out in the country, yet close to Santa Fe. We balanced our family time at the hacienda with some exploration of Santa Fe and Los Alamos. We made our own meals, had a s’mores night after stargazing outside, watched the one grandkid who couldn’t join us play in a college basketball game while we cheered the live-streamed game from the “art studio.” We read the history and art articles in each room of the house and the information guest book. We marveled at Indian relics and fossils and an incredibly diverse collection of books. We had runners out each morning and boot camp exercising for the kids. We were enthralled with this home’s history as we created more special memories for our own family. Thanks for sharing your property with us.

A true vacation home.
This place was wonderful. The plan had been for the family to get together here and poke around Santa Fe and Taos, but the house and the surrounding area was so lovely and relaxing that we really just stayed there most of the time. The pool was relaxing and bigger than I expected. So many little nooks to to relax and hang out. E may just come back again and plan to stay at the house the whole time!

Outdoor oasis
Plenty of outdoor spaces. We spent most of the time on the patio. Nice breeze & central to keep an eye the the children. Liked that there were toys for the children. Pool towels & toys/floats were an added convenience. Downside was the internet quality. Also it’s about a 20-25 min drive to heart of Santa Fe. All in all a great trip
