We were only there two nights and it wasn't nearly long enough. Scheduled too much to do to just sit and savor the hospitality of the owner and tranquility of the environment. We stayed in the Cowgirl room. One of 3 rooms. . This B and B sits on several hundred acres and is pretty far away from either Santa Fe or Albuquerque, but located near the Turquoise Trail with unique little shops, and photo ops. My husband enjoyed one day golfing at Paako Ridge nearby. Breakfast was very sumptuous, with Southwest flavor, and is served either on the patio or inside depending on the weather. We were even treated to breakfast-to-go burritos to eat at the airport which had fellow travelers looking at me enviously. We had planned to star gaze, but instead enjoyed a full moon view from our private patio.

Marianna is a warm and wonderful hostess. Her luxurious adobe ranch surrounded by giant Junipers, cholla cactus, and a genuinely panoramic view of several mountain ranges is secluded and a stunner. Her home is a sophisticated ranch house. It has a gorgeous great room with 20 foot ceilings, wood beams, tasteful furnishings.... our room felt old-world European in its luxurious materials, bathroom finishing, and lush scale. Breakfast was as you would expect- lovely and delicious. This cowgirl owns acres and acres above Cerillos and Madrid. We're returning when we get back to Santa Fe. She was kind enough to mail us our forgotten camera. Many thanks, Marianna.

This Inn is one of the best in which I have ever stayed. The location is secluded and private, but close enough to Santa Fe to easily drive in for dinning & events. It's just off the Turquoise Trail, so the High Feather Ranch makes a great base camp for experiencing some of the best of New Mexico. It is great for a small corporate retreat; three guest rooms and nice living areas for indoor /outdoor meetings. Also a nice private setting for personal relaxation. You cans see the lights of Santa Fe at night and mountain views in multiple directions. The decor is exquisite. A fine example of straw bale construction meets beautiful Southwest-style architecture in finishes, floor plan and eco-friendly building techniques. This would be a perfect point of exploration for anyone interested in building a Southwest-style home. The hospitality is wonderful: a high level of privacy but also engaging conversation with proprietor and other guests. Breakfast was delicious. A very nice B&B experience overall.

We stayed at the Ranch in order to attend a nearby wedding - this is one of the few places to stay in the area, and is well worth it. Marianna the Innkeeper is great, and cooks a mean breakfast (cookbook available and recommended)! Breakfast was fresh and wonderful every day we were there.

It's hard to relate how quiet and peaceful the location is. The stars are so many here they seem to overlap. An SUV is definitely helpful as a rental car, but not required.

If you're there in the spring, be prepared to witness the local airshow, staged by the resident hummingbirds. Plenty of places to just relax and enjoy the scenery. No TVs in the rooms, which was great (though if you really need one, it's there in the great room).

Definitely recommended!
