Seclusion in Santa Fe!
rdubbs08on 20/06/2017 16:34The Inn of the Turquoise Bear is a secluded retreat in the heart of Santa Fe!
From the moment we pulled onto the property, the blissfulness and charm hit us head on. Only located about a 10 minute walk from the square, when on property you can disappear and relax from the day-to-day bustle of life! Whether it be relaxing in a hammock, walking the gorgeous grounds, or retreating to your room for a nap - slowing down is almost a must!
We arrived several hours prior to check-in and fortunately Dan (the Inn's owner) had our room ready. The Spud Johnson room is their stand-alone room located apart from the main house. The room is not huge, but more than adequate for our needs. It has a huge walk-in shower, comfortable bed and fireplace sitting area which would be more enjoyed on a nice cold fall or winter evening! There is also a hammock right out front! One thing of note on this particular room is that because it is standalone, it has a dedicated water heater which is on the small side. We never had an issue, but for 2 people to get solid hot showers you may need to wait 20 minutes or so between cleanses.
Our room did not have a fridge (I do not believe any of them do), but there is a small fridge in the main house where guests can store items - we put white wine and water in there. They also provide complimentary water bottles for refill during your stay so that you can stay hydrated!
As the property is dog friendly, we had Lily, our Australian Shepherd with us. Dan & Alex had a welcome package for her, dog bowls and even a bed! We also had our 16 month old son with us. He too was welcomed with open arms!
Every day in the main lounge Dan & Alex have some sort of homemade treat available. When we arrived there were left over lemon bars from the day prior and by mid-afternoon there was a chocolate chess pie which was to die for! The second day was a cherry crisp - not too sweet, not too tart, just perfect!
One of the many highlights of the stay was the complimentary wine happy hour from 5 - 6'ish pm. They have white and red wine available in the wine or on the lounge. Meeting and chatting with the other guests was fantastic - we met some very interesting folks! Of note - there is also a liquor store a short 3 minute walk up the street should you desire to keep happy hour going into the evening!!!
Perhaps THE highlight of the property, next to the charm, hospitality, treats and wine is the breakfast! Every morning from 7:30 - 9:30 you can dine at your leisure in the dining room, on the patio, or they will even bring you breakfast in bed! There is a help yourself juice, yogurt, bread and fruit bar. Dan or Alex start you with a small different smoothie each morning and then you can choose your main dish. They try and alternate between sweet and savory on the menu - the first morning we had a frittata which was fantastic and the second day was lemon-ginger waffles. If the featured main is not for you they also offer eggs any way or huevos rancheros (highly recommended to try!).
Truth be told, I am struggling to find too many, if any, negatives here - having the Inn of the Turquoise Bear as home base for my Father's Day weekend really made our Santa Fe experience one to remember! It really is a slice of seclusion in Santa Fe!
Peaceful and gracious oasis!
bedgehogon 17/06/2017 19:05Our first time staying at the inn and we would love to return ASAP! Excellent location just south of town with plenty of parking. Secluded, quiet and peaceful historic home set on a hill above lovely terraced gardens - a variety of seating areas and private hammocks tucked away amongst the flowers and towering trees...We enjoyed early morning coffee each day outside watching the numerous species of birds who frequent the feeders. Dan and Alex are highly skilled hosts who know how to take care of their guests. You can choose to be as private or communal as you like with the other guests and your hosts. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order every day beginning at 7:30 - different enticing specials as well as the availability of eggs or huevos rancheros if you preferred. Also fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals and a variety of breads were also provided buffet style each day. Wonderful homemade baked treats (like amazing biscotti, cupcakes, quick breads, cookies) were available all day and we joined the daily wine hour from 5-6pm and chatted with the other guests; sharing tips about activities, restaurants and shops. Dan and Alex are super helpful with info as well and provided us with several local suggestions that were perfect (don't miss nearby Kakawa Chocolate House if you love chocolate!). Well-behaved canine guests are welcome at the inn too and we met several during our stay. We stayed in the Shaman room and it was quite large and well-appointed with charming decor. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy Santa Fe, Taos, Albuquerque and the surrounding areas with a gracious stay at the Inn of the Turquoise Bear!
Our spring vacation
davidsT7168FWon 12/06/2017 04:05The Inn of the Turquoise Bear is conveniently situated within walking distance of the plaza. The room was comfortable and the grounds are beautiful with places to sit and enjoy the birds or relax with a good book. Ben and Alex are great hosts who made both good company and good breakfasts. I highly recommend the Turquoise Bear for a stay in Santa Fe,
Historic elegance
snofieldson 11/06/2017 15:41A fantastic place for our girls' getaway. Historic rooms were elegant, comfortable and quiet. Breakfasts each morning scrumpish and the park like grounds made every evening a delight. The owners work hard at making everything perfect for their guests. Shopping in old Santa Fe was just a short walk away, no need to drive and do battle for parking spaces. If you are traveling with your pet, some rooms are pet friendly. I highly recommend and hope to return soon.
