The magnificent view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains was the highlight for us. The house itself is a must-see for mid-century design enthusiasts. Lots of interesting design features. The location was perfect for us - about 5 minutes from the Santa Fe Opera and access to downtown is easy. There’s a little bit of traffic noise from the highway but if that’s the trade off for the view, we’ll take it.

The property is exceptional. Windows everywhere and views from every room. We saw deer, coyote, and rabbits. Pristine condition. Short drive into Santa Fe, but it feels like you're secluded on this property. Very private. Yes, the highway noise is a bit distracting if you have the windows open at night, but the trade off is worth it. Highly recommended! Thank you, Jeffrey and Julie, for a wonderful stay!

What a fantastic home, we were so pleased with our stay here! Thanks to Jeffrey and Julia for being so communicative! Great location to escape the hustle and bustle of downtown Santa Fe. Great views from pretty much anywhere in the house. Super clean and functional place to spend a few days away! Thank you!

This was one of the best VRBO homes we have ever stayed in. the home was beautiful, comfortable, well stocked and the views were spectacular. The hosts were easily reached and very kind to work with. If you’re planning a trip to Santa Fe you shouldn’t look any further than the Butterfly House

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!

THIS is the place to stay in Santa Fe!

The Butterfly House is THE place to stay in Santa Fe! The property is quite secluded with access being limited to the owners & guests of the neighborhood. The house is spotlessly clean and all of the things you need to cook, relax, sleep and enjoy nature are already provided! It's a great place to bird-watch and if you're lucky you'll see coyote, rabbits and lizards! The kitchen is made for a chef, and the TV room is a private place for entertainment and relaxation!I highly recommend!

This is a beautiful, bright and comfortable house. It's very clean and well supplied. The views are very nice. The location is good - away from the bustle of Santa Fe, but a very quick drive to downtown. The only negative is some freeway noise which depended on the wind, weather and time of day. The house is very soundproof so you only hear it outside. It was chilly during our stay so we were mostly inside and weren't bothered by the sounds of traffic.

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.
