Inn of the Turquoise Bear

The accommodation's prime location near the town square allows easy exploration of Santa Fe. Guests appreciate the delicious breakfast and well-appointed, comfortable rooms. The staff is exceptionally helpful and welcoming.

This was absolutely the best B and B experience we've ever had. Having enjoyed multiple experiences elsewhere in the US and Europe, most with a positive aspect in one of a few important categories, this was the first to excel in all. The reservation system and their ability to keep us informed as to the check-in policies, area adventures, restaurants, trails, day trips, etc. was exceptional. Our casita on the main level, detached from the main building was the perfect respite for us as a means to escape. The accommodation was exceptional, clean, well appointed and as comfortable as our own home. The most perfect part of our stay was the attention, kindness, warmth and guidance provided by the innkeepers, not only were they exceptionally well informed, helpful and always with a kind word and pure interest in our comfort. It was a truly wonderful feeling to step into the breakfast and seeing the open arms and ear to ear smile of Edith Salvidrez who became a good friend in a very short period of time. Her infectious personality and open heart made this truly a wonderful, personally fulfilling experience and one that has now set the standard for all others. Congratulations to the owners who clearly knew what it would take to make this one of the pre-eminent B and B's in the US, it was beyond our highest expectations.

We loved our 4-day stay at the "Bear".  We were visiting family in town and this was the perfect respite between family activities.  The weather was cool but we enjoyed the bright sunny days and we were even able to enjoy the patio areas and grounds in February!  We loved all the nooks and crannies of this authentic, historic estate.  Our room was comfortable, clean, with nice touches and amenities and we enjoyed spending time with other guests at the wine reception in the cozy living room.  We felt right at home.  Owner Dan and his team were most welcoming, and kindly checked regularly to ensure we were enjoying our stay and everything was to our liking.  The breakfasts were creative and lovingly prepared - a delicious start to the day.  This is an exceptional inn and we hope to return often.  Gives us an excuse to visit family more often!  Highly recommend it.
