We were amazed by the location of the property--right at the top of the hills, the best view around. The property was perfect for our small family and well located for the exploring we wanted to do in the area. The place itself is really impressive, beautifully built, lovely details, and comfortable. We loved meeting Terry and Toots. The entire experience was exceptional and we loved the neighborhood, especially the Tesuque Village Market. Highly recommend!

Loved it!

We were here for 6 nights. We enjoyed being away from the city, but still close. The house was nice (heated floors!) and the views were pretty covered with snow. It would be nice to sit out on the patio when its a bit warmer. Terry was a great host & story teller. Make some time to visit with him if you can.

Beautiful views and a quick drive into Santa Fe. This place has everything you need with a welcoming host and pup.

We had a wonderful (snowy) trip and enjoyed interacting with the owner as well. Very quiet spot with comfortable bed and well stocked kitchen. A nice change from staying in Santa Fe and the restaurant in Tesuque is good!

I stayed five nights with Terry and Toots in their beautiful, hilltop casita. Their property has everything you need from comfortable seating areas, appliances, and kitchen utensils for cooking or bringing food in. There is a great little market five minutes down the hill for groceries, dine-in or takeout. Or, you can be in downtown Santa Fe in less than 10 min. I loved the quiet, the views and the high desert solitude. Just as pleasant were the conversations with Terri on the porch. Terri is a great host and a really, really interesting guy. Get him in a conversation about his career experiences and you’ll be amazed what an unassuming, humble, laid-back guy has done with his his great life. I'm looking forward to coming back to Terry’s casita. Tom R

This house is just a few minutes outside Santa Fe and has the most wonderful views. Walk to the front of the property in the morning to greet the sun and sit on the porch in the evenings to witness the sun setting over the mountains. Late in the evening go watch the stars. The house has all the amenities you needs and Terry is the best host. Rent this house you won’t regret it.

The 2 best things - the view from the porch/balcony from a mountain top and visiting with Terry, our host ( read his bio). Location was short trip - maybe 5 minutes- into center of town. We had a great time.

Just minutes from the Santa Fe Opera this was a perfectly located property for our annual "opera week."

This rental was a perfect location for our Santa Fe area exploration. Our family of four was comfortable in the space and the views from the deck were breathtaking. Terry was very responsive and privided us with some additional details about the area and new spots to explore.

The property and its view are stunning and so quiet and peaceful you can take naps on the patio. The next best thing is the host Terry and his pup. We enjoyed our daily talks and visits with them. Dont pass the property up if you are planning a trip to Santa Fe!

Enjoyed my time in this lovely casita. Very peaceful with amazing views of the Tesuque Valley. The home is well stocked with everything you need. Although the wifi is bit slow for those looking/needing to work remotely. Terry is a wonderful host.

Very quiet neighborhood. Excellent view of the mountains and sunsets. Very comfortable casa with many amenities. We enjoyed visiting with Terry and his Aussie😊👍

This guesthouse is beautifully built and in a gorgeous location in Tesuque, convenient to Santa Fe but quiet and charming. Terry is a thoughtful, informative and accommodating host.

Gorgeous location at the top of a hill! The views from the deck are stunning! This dwelling is a New Mexican casita next door to the owner’s home. Tastefully decorated with a southwest theme. The king size bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is situated so you have the beautiful views while cooking. The owner is very friendly and engaging. Very helpful. He has a beautiful Australian Shepherd named Toots! Again very friendly. Our golden retriever was welcomed warmly by both the owner and Toots! We also loved that we were 10 minutes from Santa Fe, but you felt like you were in a mountain community. We would highly recommend this place for people who want to get off the beaten path! Would definitely return!

Beautiful views and unique house. In the mountains and only 5 minutes from Santa Fe. I’d love to see it in bloom this summer. Terrence is a bonus to this property. Delightful host and hope to visit more in the future.

Thoughtful design, breathtaking views, and good location. We were very comfortable in this beautiful home in between excursions to nearby adventures. Our thoughtful conversations with Terry out on the porch are memorable. We plan to return again next year.

My husband and I loved our stay here last year so much that we returned this year. The views are amazing and Terry is a wonderful host. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway that is still close to Santa Fe, this is the place!

Property and host were exceptional. Terry made us feel at home right away. His pup Toots became our immediate best friend. Tesuque is the perfect launch point for visiting old town Santa Fe, Albequerque, and national parks. Ask Terry to tell you some stories, we enjoyed him so much!

This is the second time we stayed in Tesuque at this awesome casita! We had a wonderful week. We hiked, biked and loved every minute. The view from this casita is amazing! Morning sunrises to evening sunsets are spectacular. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, and the real fireplace was enjoyed every night. Thank you Terry for sharing this slice of heaven!

We wanted to be close to Ski Santa Fe and this was ideal. It was also a great base for hiking. We appreciate the accuracy of the listing. Terry is very kind , helpful and pleasant.

My family and I just got back from spending a week at this beautiful adobe house. The views from every window are breathtaking and the sunsets are spectacular. This property is a perfect stay to do everything Santa Fe has to offer for a family of 3-4.

Location Location Location. Loved the views, the house, and the owner Terry. Cute little town only 15 minutes from SF and about 45mins to ski SF. Must check out Meow Wolf, Bandelier and 2nd street brewery. Ask for Cindy. Best service ever. Make sure to hit the market at the bottom of the hill. Expensive but really cool vibe.

Terry’s guest house is beautifully furnished and the views are unbelievable. We’ve never seen stars so bright like we did there. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Terry even furnishes dog bowls for your pooch. We spent the week of Thanksgiving there and enjoyed Santa Fe as well as wonderful chats over wine with Terry. The home is stunning, Tesuque and the area are gorgeous, but the highlight for us was meeting Terry.

The house is wonderfully equipped and very comfortable. Our host was warm and kind. The views spectacular. We had unexpected snow overnight on our first evening there and it was a winter wonderland. Quite a treat. The house was warm and cozy the entire week though the temperature dropped pretty low. Highly recommended.

Great location with fantastic panoramic views. Very special place! Terry explained everything about the house and surrounding area. Our 2 dogs had a great time playing in the arroyo and we even had a snow day sitting in front of the fire place. We hope to come back next year.

We recently stayed at Terry Brunner’s lovely casita in Tesuque Hills. Terry’s casita is the one we have been looking to find on our visits to New Mexico. It is perfect for a relaxing, renewing, and peaceful retreat. The casita is beautifully appointed. The many windows, the open concept, the comfortable furniture, and stunning views of the Jemez Mountains from the porch make his place singularly beautiful of all the places we have stayed in our eighteen years of visiting northern New Mexico. Upon arriving and settling in, we both acknowledged that Terry’s casita in the foothills of the Sanger de Christo Mountains was the perfect place for us to escape to and embrace the beauty of New Mexico. Terry’s is a fabulous host. He is urbane, an engaging conversationalist, a gracious listener, well-read, and a delight to know. We are readers and when we entered the casita and saw the array of bookshelves filled with books on an endless array of topics, we knew for sure that we had found our home-away-from-home. As it turned out we had a loose connection with Terry from our past. In the 1970s Terry led the Justice Department’s organized crime task force in Cleveland. We are Cleveland expats and Houston has been our adopted hometown for forty-two years. When Terry told us about his experience we were enthralled. Terry’s task force led the investigation of the continuing gang war between Italian crime families and Danny Green’s Celtic Club, a group of Irish-American gangsters. Between 1974 and 1977 Cleveland became known as, “Bomb City USA,” after the numerous car and house bombings perpetrated by the rival gangs. In the 1976 there were 36 bombings in Cleveland (more than in Beirut). Terry told us a bit about his experience with Danny Greens who led the Irish gang (Green was also the victim of car bomb in 1977). In 1975, the Italian crime families contracted William Kirlay to kill Green. He successfully bombed the apartment where Green lived but Green survived the blast. My wife’s youngest sister served on the jury that tried Kiraly and convicted him for the bombing. What a coincidence meeting Terry and our shared Cleveland experience! Then staying in his heavenly casita in the foothills of the Sangre de Christo Mountains. In all the years we have made our pilgrimages to north, central, New Mexico to refresh and renew our spirits, Terry’s casita has been a singularly exceptional, and rewarding experience. None better.

My husband and I were in great need of a rest and chose Terry's guest house as a base for our visit to Santa Fe. I was a bit apprehensive after making the booking - worried that we might be in a remote location. Immediately after stepping inside the house, I knew we would be happy there. The stylish furnishings, the beautiful Persian rug, the fireplace stacked with wood, Mexican pottery, books, maps and travel brochures made for a very warm welcome. Terry is the consummate host and we truly enjoyed visiting with him. We made several trips down to Santa Fe for shopping and dining but returning to the comfort of the house was always on my mind. Terry's guest house provided a much-needed retreat, and we plan to return next year.

Wonderful experience. Kind host. Thankful

Great

The casita at Tesuque was lovely as described. We encountered some unexpected problems but Terry, our host, addressed them and scheduled repair service as soon as possible. He went out of his way to make our visit enjoyable even to providing fresh flowers and champagne for our anniversary. He truly saved the day.

Such an unexpected treat just north of Santa Fe. This Adobe casita was so peaceful. The host is charming and knowledgeable. The casita had everything we were looking for; simple & beautiful.
