What they say
Forbes Recommended
Forbes Travel Guide
2026
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Rooms offer state-of-the-art perks while channeling rustic Southwestern vibes with kiva fireplaces and art by Santa Fe and Native American artists.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Trails lead directly into the Santa Fe National Forest, while the galleries and adobe architecture of Santa Fe Plaza sit ten minutes south.
The rooms
Southwestern interiors pair traditional kiva fireplaces and woven Navajo textiles with private terraces facing the Sangre de Cristo foothills.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool looks across the valley toward the foothills, bordered by crisp white umbrellas and private cabanas.
The spa
Treatment rooms open directly to nature with corner kiva fireplaces, hosting botanical body scrubs, tarot readings, and massages.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
SkyFire serves wood-fired dishes over cedar embers, with terrace tables set beside outdoor kiva fireplaces and mountain views.
Still, despite upgrades, this is definitely a Western-style ranch where you can hike, ride, and shoot—and cowboy boots are de rigueur.
How it began
Originally a private retreat for Santa Fe's first archbishop, the estate later hosted the Pulitzer family before turning into a dude ranch.
