Great spot in Tesuque!

This was our third stay in the Butterfly House which served as a base for day hikes in the greater Santa Fe area. It's a great home to return to after a day in the beautiful outdoors with everything you need in the kitchen and a cozy overall feel with excellent views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Highly recommended!

Perfect Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay. The home is beautiful, spotless and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The views are outstanding! Check in is a piece of cake and GPS lead us right to the door. We enjoyed our visit with a lizard who sunned himself every afternoon on the patio wall, but were amazed by the four mule deer who came up and looked in the back windows our last night. The location is very convenient to Santa Fe, a short 15 minute drive to the heart of town. It truly was the perfect destination for us.

Well-Designed House In the Tesuque Hills

If you like spaciousness and clean lines, original artwork, midcentury-modern-style furniture, and high-end appliances — in a house whose design combines privacy with great views of the Sangre de Cristo Range — then the Butterfly House is for you. We can’t fault much here; we enjoyed our five days immensely. The house is close to US 84/285 and to the Santa Fe Opera. The Santa Fe Plaza is five minutes away on the highway. You will hear the highway if you’re out on the patio, but the sound is muted, and minimal later in the evening. If windows are closed, you won’t hear it at all. And the house is sited so that you won’t actually see much of the highway. The house came well-supplied with local bath products and complimentary gourmet coffee. The mattress in the master bedroom was Eurostyle-firm but comfortable. We slept well! The hosts responded quickly to the few questions we had. The house is at an elevation of 6900 feet above sea level, in aromatic pinyon-and-juniper woodland, with plantings of lavender, which was in full bloom during our stay. Summer afternoons in this environment can get warm — low 90s with low humidity. You will need the ductless A/C unit (very quiet!) in the living room. Evenings even on the warm days cool off to the 60s. Ceiling fans have been intelligently placed throughout the house to help circulate the cool air. We were more than comfortable during our entire stay. Highly recommended for the architecture, decor, and setting.

Loved This House!

My two girlfriends and I spent a wonderful long weekend at Butterfly House. It is perfectly sited about 10-15 minutes north of Santa Fe in a quiet private development just south of the flea market and the Opera. It is beautifully designed and furnished in a minimalist style that feels very comfortable and puts the focus on the views. The landscaping complements the house - there is something interesting outside every window. It feels pristine, light, and airy, and having the two bedrooms at opposite ends of the house gives guests privacy and space. The kitchen is nicely furnished for those who like to cook and grocery stores are only about 15 minutes away. This house would be nice at any season. We loved our visit and I definitely plan to return.

wonderful modern home with fabulous views

This house is exactly as it looks in the pictures. While it is small, it is perfect for 2-4 people. The layout worked well for living away from home. Loved the decor, the bathrooms and in particular the views. Breathtaking. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Private retreat in Santa Fe

My husband and I stayed at the Butterfly House with another couple and we would highly recommend it. This home is bright, airy and comfortable. We loved the contemporary aesthetics and the well equipped kitchen. The air conditioning was a nice option to have, but the ceiling fans and cool nights were perfect for us. The layout of the home created enough privacy for all of us. Having 2 bedrooms and 2 baths (on opposite ends of the house) were ideal. We loved all the windows (even in the showers), which provided wonderful views of the surroundings. The patio was a nice added bonus for some outdoor grilling, margaritas and gorgeous sunsets. The Butterfly House location provided easy access to downtown Santa Fe, local restaurants and day excursions. We can’t wait to rent this house again.

"House Beautiful"

Walking into "The Butterfly House" is like taking a deep breath and knowing everything will be perfect. Situated in the hills of Santa Fe, there are lovely views from all sides of the house, comfortable furniture, a well-appointed kitchen, and peace and quiet. The location is ideal because you are a short ride to the activities in downtown Santa Fe and close access to highways for adventures. A casino is ten minutes away and don't miss a scenic drive to Madrid for its shops and galleries. Butterfly House is perfect for an extended stay or a weeks getaway. I highly recommend it and would come back in a minute.

Contemporary architecture and design draws attention to the natural elements of the southwest

Aesthetically speaking, The Butterfly House is unlike any other in the Sangre de Cristo foothills. It's contemporary architecture and design draws attention to the natural elements of the southwest. There are windows and glass doors throughout so visitors are able to admire the surroundings, even from the living room or the bathroom. How relaxing! There's a patio that looks out on the mountains of Durango, Colorado, which is a short drive from the Tesuque Hills. The house's minimalism not only puts the view at the forefront but it also makes the home feel open and spacious, even amongst the mountains. It's eco-friendly as well, which is always a plus. What I enjoyed most was exploring the foothills in the early morning for rocks (there's an abundance of quartz). Would definitely recommend this place, especially to artsy folks and nature lovers. There opera house is right there, too, so it's an ideal spot for music afficionados as well.
