5 Star B&B

We can't say enough good things about this B&B. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the rooms were cozy and quaint. Fireplace use is amazing and the rooms were very large. Our room had a bathroom that was disconnected (read the fine print) but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The breakfast in the morning was FANTASTIC!!

Fantastic long weekend

My wife and I had a terrific long weekend staying at the inn. The room and the inn were charming, and was conveniently located within walking distance to many of the top sites in the city. We particularly enjoyed the terrific breakfast and the evening happy hour. There are very few hotels where you can get to know your fellow guests and we had some really fun conversations with them. We definitely come back again next time we are in Santa Fe.

Even the locals choose this place

This is an experience! Amazing bit of Santa Fe celebrity history. A former party house that saw the likes of Ansel Adams, DH Lawrence, Willa Cather, Georgia O'Keeffe among many others. Quirky yet refined, walking distance to downtown and the Roundhouse, sociable or meditative if desired. Beds and furnishings soo comfortable. It is an adventure you'll remember.. Hi Alex,Dan, Sherry - thanks for a wonderful stay!

Alex and Dan were wonderful hosts! The breakfasts were very, very good and we really enjoyed getting to meet other guests during breakfast and again in the evening when wine was available in the living room. The grounds were absolutely beautiful although we didn't get to spend a lot of time outside since it was unusually chilly this time of year. But we're planning on coming back when it's warmer. We really had a great time and are looking forward to our next stay!

Superb B&B

We stayed three nights at the inn. Great place. Rooms are very nicely decorated and comfortable. Breakfast has a good selection of items, and prepared meal very tasty. And if you did not like the day’s prepared item, they would just cook you anything else - great! Super Place to get into contact with other people, we enjoyed two evening to chat with others during the wine hour. Great host and colleague, great to chat with and very helpful. If you like B&B places, this is a great one.

Quaint B&B within walking distance of downtown

We really enjoyed our stay at the Turquoise Bear. From the moment we arrived, Alex was friendly and helpful in making sure we enjoyed our stay. He provided lots of information on the area and recommended a great restaurant! Loved the landscaped grounds, the peaceful location, and the decorations in the room. Wine was provided in the evening... so there's that :-) Breakfast was hearty and fantastic. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to the Santa Fe area.

An Oasis In The City

Dan and Alex are great hosts and make delicious breakfasts with plenty of options each morning. Their location is great for walking down to the plaza (about 15 minute walk) and yet far enough from the hustle and bustle to make sitting out in one of their many relaxing locations fun. Our room was very clean and comfortable with free wifi, water bottles, as well as coffee, tea, and baked goods available in the dining area during the day and evenings.
