Beautiful home with plenty of room to spread out, & close to town. Our family members really enjoyed the hot tub and the gorgeous views. Lots of hiking opportunities were enjoyed.

Thank you so much for the kind words and the stunning photos! We truly loved hosting you and would be delighted to welcome you back anytime. Wishing you and your family a very happy New Year!

This house was absolutely perfect for our group of 5! We were a group of high school best friends all coming together for a reunion from all over the country and this could not have been a more perfect place to stay. Five bedrooms for the 5 of us and they were all outfitted with their own smart TVs and each even had climate control so we could adjust to temp to our own needs! Such a beautiful spot in such an amazing town. HIGHLY recommend!!

Great place for our whole family to celebrate an anniversary!
The house was just a short drive out of the city but the views at the house were worth it! Views from the porches to the windows are amazing! A lot of thought was put into the placement of this house. Plenty of room for a few families to stay and stretch out. We also enjoyed the outside patio, local trails and the hot tub.

Our group of eight had a wonderful stay at Sunset Mountain Ranch. The home is situated on a beautiful property with amazing views of the valley and mountains in the distance. It was a perfect combination of solitude and privacy with the convenience to downtown Santa Fe's amenities (restaurants, grocery shopping, galleries, and historical sites). The house is in great condition inside and out. It was spotlessly clean and well appointed. Our chefs in the group enjoyed the spacious kitchen and all of the necessary (and unexpected) utensils and cookware. The furnishings were clean and the linens were top quality. The hot tub was crystal clear and the perfect temperature. Taking in the view from the hot tub was one of the many highlights. From hiking on the property and adjacent trails, to throwing frisbee on the lawn, to visiting the nearby historic sites and national monument and finishing the day with a Margarita at the nearby Tesuque Market, Sunset Market Ranch offered the perfect getaway. There's no point in looking elsewhere. If Sunset Mountain Ranch is available, book it! You won't be disappointed. We'll be back.

Our family group of nine people, ages 1 1/2 to 69, loved this home, especially . . . the beautiful outdoor living areas, the spacious kitchen and dining room, and the five big bedrooms. Easy to get into town when we wanted to and easy to enjoy the serenity of the mountainside setting when we wanted to relax.
It was a week long family vacation, full of sights, hikes and adventures. The New Mexican food was great. The house is located right outside of the plaza area so you have both the beauty of the desert and mountains with lovely sunsets and the convenience of all the amenities of Santa Fe. The house was spectacular with plenty of room with a well equipped kitchen. There are multiple options for outdoor seating. We brought our 2 dogs and there was plenty of room and outside grassy area for them to play. The manager was very responsive to our needs.

We rented Sunset Mountain Ranch to use as the site for a small wellness retreat including yoga, hiking and healthful meals prepared by a private chef. If you are looking for a location to host something similar, with a small group of participants, look no further! The living room is spacious and can be set up for yoga practice for 10 people. The kitchen is perfection and has everything a chef needs. The house is stylish, clean and updated yet with a sense of Santa Fe’s history and charm. Our group was delighted with the views, the sunsets and sunrises, and horses trotting by from time to time. The hot tub, gorgeous meadow, access to amazing hiking trails right from the house, plenty of parking, and incredible support from Santa Fe Vacation Rentals all made it an unforgettable and easeful weekend. We can’t rave enough about this wonderful property!
