Inn of the Turquoise Bear
Bed & Breakfast · Santa Fe, NM
About
Adobe walls, kiva fireplaces, and a garden full of lilacs set the scene at this gay-owned B&B. It occupies the 19th-century home of poet Witter Bynner, whose guest list included D.H. Lawrence, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Ansel Adams. Each room is named after a former visitor, and the vibe is warm, family-friendly, and pet-friendly. Breakfast is gourmet, with house-baked specialties. It's close to everything. You can walk to the Plaza and restaurants, but the property feels like a secluded retreat. The inn is not exclusively gay in clientele, but the owners are welcoming to all. If you want a more social scene, nearby Ten Thousand Waves Spa Resort & Hotel offers a different vibe, but here you get history and quiet.

“I Was Expecting a Gay B & B”
I made a mistake thinking this would be a gay-focused bed and breakfast. It is owned and run by gay people, but most guests during my visit were not gay. The room was spacious and comfortable with authentic Santa Fe style, though I found it overpriced. Had I known it wasn't a gay-only B&B, I would have chosen a place in downtown Santa Fe for a similar cost instead of this location, which is walkable but not actually downtown.

“BEST IN SANTA FE !!!!!”
This bed and breakfast is absolutely fantastic! It's close enough to walk to the downtown plaza, restaurants, and shops. The owners and staff are incredibly welcoming. Rooms are large and interesting, and the property has plenty of outdoor space. We didn't want to leave! We met many guests who come back repeatedly. Truly the finest place in Santa Fe!
