Everything about our stay was spectacular! The home, the location, the responsiveness of the host - it was all amazing! We have traveled all over the world and this is now one of our favorite spots anywhere!
Happy Ram is situated in a beautiful peaceful area yet it is close enough to get to Santa Fe attractions as well as scenic areas like Bandolier and Abiquiu. The home is artfully constructed, quiet and has everything you need. Our privacy was respected by our hosts. Be sure to walk the property if you can. Also, the restaurants in Tesuque Village are excellent.
The house and location were phenomenal. The house looked just as the pictures. It was short drive into Santa Fe. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful secluded space close to town.
This beautiful property is rural and delightfully peaceful. The interior is spacious, beds comfortable, and the bathroom showers have excellent water pressure. The kitchen is modern, equipped with everything you may need and more!It was nice to have a garage for parking. The turn to get into it may be a problem for large vehicles.
Please don't put logs in the outdoor fireplace so people have and will try to light them. We're in a horrible drought here and it's very windy. An ember could burn up your property, my adjacent lot, and my house.. a screen over the fireplace is mandatory by law here.
STAY HERE!!!!!!! An AMAZING house outside of Santa Fe where you live in the mountains. The house is stunning! Well equipped. The backyard is a lifesaver with a dog. The owners live up the hill, so they are handy with any issues of which, I had none. Will stay here again when I visit Santa Fe in the future.
We loved our stay. Everything from the comfortable beds to the beautiful views from the patio. Our hosts were great at communication and everything was close by.
Highly recommend!
This was the most amazing house! Everything was perfect! Location was perfect! Decor was perfect! Hosts were super friendly and communicative. Hope to make it back for a repeat visit in the future!
We love this house. We enjoyed two nights of stargazing and excellent food from El Nido down the road. Wonderful private mountain house getaway. Quiet and serene. Everything you need is at the Happy Ram.
This was one of the best places my husband and I have stayed at. A beautiful home, clean, comfortable beds, fabulous views, and many nice touches. We wished we had stayed longer.
The property was exactly as advertised. I absolutely loved the artwork, architecture, and design within — every detail was thoughtfully curated. The casita was fully stocked with everything you’d need to feel completely at home. I can’t say enough about the location — the beautiful, unobstructed vistas were truly breathtaking. A perfect stay in every way. Staying here made for a wonderful 28th anniversary!
Really enjoyed our stay at the Happy Ram. The bouquet
of roses on the dining table was a nice welcome . The patio was wonderful to sit out during the cool evening. This was one of the best places I have ever stayed. Will book again if I'm ever back in Santa Fe
This location was perfect and the home itself is stunning! Very well designed and furnished and made me feel right at home. Close enough to town for shopping and dining, but nestled in the hills for seclusion. Coming back at night we overshot the turn a couple times because of the way the road is angled and the street signs being not very visible. A tiny solar light at the base would have been helpful. We would definitely return for a relaxing getaway in the pines. We very much enjoyed our time there.
This place is just beautiful. My compliments to the designer. It’s aesthetically perfect. The location is fantastic. Close enough to town to be convenient. Far enough away for comfort. If the casino is your thing it’s 5 minutes away. Great stay! Love that we could park in the garage!! Thanks so much!
We had a fantastic stay at the Happy Ram! The property is a perfect blend of comfort and elegance — spacious, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully furnished with luxurious touches throughout. It offered the perfect amount of privacy, nestled in a serene location that made us feel like we had our own little retreat in the hills.Communication with Janelle was excellent from start to finish. She was responsive, welcoming, and made the whole process seamless, including accommodating an early arrival.We truly didn’t want to leave and are already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend the Happy Ram for anyone seeking a peaceful, upscale escape in the Tesuque area.
The property itself is beautiful, and the entire house is very intentionally designed. The living room opens with big doors to the back area and was really nice to have open. The location is quite removed and away from the city’s noise, and was very peaceful and quiet outside. The owners sent all check in communication very proactively and were easy to reach and coordinate with during the arrival process. Highly recommend overall! When next in Santa Fe I will intentionally search for this listing’s availability first!
