El Torreon - Luxury Home, Serene Surroundings

Summary:

Luxury Home, Serene Surroundings



The Space:

PROFESSIONALLY HOSTED BY TWO CASITAS

Spotless cleanings, 24/7 guest support, detailed property guides, and best of all, no checkout chores.



SUMMARY

El Torreón is a large comfortable hacienda perfect for retreats and quiet getaways. This home is a stunning example of traditional Pueblo Revival (aka Santa Fe) style, including high ceilings, vigas (wood beams), latias (round or split cedar ceilings), carved corbels, arched doorways, saltillo tile, kiva fireplaces, and signature massive walls making it warm in winter and cool in summer. El Torreon also features an enclosed courtyard with a fountain and fruit trees. It’s very private, yet only five minutes to some of the most popular area restaurants: El Nido, Tesuque Village Market, Skyfire at Bishop's Lodge, and a few minutes more to either the plaza or the Santa Fe Opera.



El Torreon, which means "The Tower," is surrounded by both trees and water -- very rare for Santa Fe area homes. Tesuque Creek is on the west, and the Acequia Madre de Tesuque, part of a 700-year-old network of irrigation ditches, is on the east. Large deciduous trees provide cool shade in the summer, sometimes for deer that wander down from the mountains.  Extensive hiking/walking trails start just off White Boulder Road, and the Windsor Trail is accessible from Bishop's Lodge Road. The Acequia runs in the spring and summer months depending on winter snowfall. Tesuque Creek is 20 ft from the patio, and it is one of the few in the entire area that runs all year.  In the summer months it ranges from a soothing brook to an energetic torrent after a rainstorm in the mountains.



Since this home is part of a quiet community, we ask that it is not rented for parties or celebrations and that music stays at a reasonable indoor volume. In addition, this home is not pet friendly and we ask those with service animals to seek other accommodations due to allergies.

Roomy, great place for a family vacation. Don’t plan on working. WiFi is spotty at best. Great rooftop deck for star watching.

The house is lovely and spacious, the kitchen well-equipped and, as it turns out, mostly comfortable with NO air conditioning in July. BUT, not one of us had a decent WIFI connection and could barely get any service even when up on the roof deck. In fact, we were given the incorrect front door code upon arrival and had to drive out to the highway to even contact anyone about it. Then drive back out to the house to enter the new code. For that reason, I just cannot give it five stars. Otherwise, a lovely spot for a large group. We were four generations from infant to 99 years old and the setup for everyone was great!

Perfection!

The house was perfection! It was large enough for 8 girls to not be on top of each other, yet had wonderful gathering spaces when we all wanted to commune. The walls are so sound proof that one person could sleep in their room while the others stayed up later talking and they couldn’t be heard. The beds were comfy, and the kitchen stocked…it was a dream! Thank you.

Wonderful Getaway

4 separate families came together for a saddened time (funeral) but the fact that we could all be together with plenty of room was amazing. The home was amazing. The kitchen was big enough for all of us to sit. The outside, upstairs sitting area was so relaxing and beautiful. Listening to the nearby creek was very calming.

Great place

We had a family reunion with 12 people. We thoroughly enjoyed the outside spaces and especially the large living room. The master bedrooms were great. We weren't quite prepared for the rugged road leading into the house but overall it was a terrific experience. Thanks Two Casitas!

Great Stay in Santa Fe

This house made a great base for a long weekend exploring Santa Fe! We were a group of ten friends coming from all over the country. The house had several great outside spaces and the kitchen and large room were fantastic places for gathering. As stated in some other reviews and the pictures, there are three nicer bedrooms (two very nice ones!) and two bedrooms that are connected to one another, which aren't quite as nice. But we knew that going in-pictures are accurate, and all beds were still comfortable! Everything was spotless, and we just loved so clearly feeling like we were in the southwest even when we were at the house! We were less than 10 minutes from downtown but still felt so quiet and peaceful. Thanks for a great stay!

Great family home for a large gathering

We recently spent a week with our adult children, their spouses and our grandchildren at El Torreon (10 individuals total). This home is gorgeous with plenty of room for socializing, game playing, reading and enjoying the outdoors. Because of COVID-19, we were sociallly distanced and cooked all of our meals in the beautifully appointed and well-equipped kitchen. We had all of our meals outdoors on the patio. There is lots of wildlife to enjoy and hiking trails within a mile's walk. A stream flows right by the home, a sound that is soothing at bedtime. The managers were very responsive to some repair issues, coming out to inspect things within a few hours of a call. Our only suggestion: upgrade the internet to more effectively cover the entire home. (There were a few of the rooms, including both master bedrooms, where there was no coverage). We would love to return at a time when we can more fully enjoy all that Santa Fe has to offer.
