Our ceremony was in the shade of the cottonwood trees, cocktail hour was in a shaded garden, and our reception was in the gorgeous updated big red barn (with AC and twinkle lights!). The event coordination team, Mikaela and Ethan Dunn ("Us The Dunns"), were incredible, and made our special day worry free for us. We worked with them to arrange our set up, decor rental, clean up, bartending, and day-of coordination. They are true professionals and elevated our day and experience in every way. And Bike in Coffee/Old Town Farm was the perfect place to share with our friends and family as we celebrated! Our friends and family shared that it was one of the most beautiful and authentic venues they had ever been to, and we felt the same.

It was more than we could imagine, we stayed in a lovely room, with comfortable beds, a fire place and a cute bathroom. There was even an enclosed patio with a gate off of the room (made it easier to let the dog out in the morning). The space was very open and we felt like we were at home. There was wireless internet, satellite TV and plenty of space for my friend, my dog and I to roam around. We were the only ones there during our stay and my dog LOVED it! Plenty to sniff and explore. Anne, the owner is wonderful and sweet. She recommended great places for us to eat and helped us find our way around. They offer great pet services and we were allowed to leave our well-behaved dog in the room. The breakfasts were delicious, every morning there was coffee, tea, juice, granola with fresh fruit and yogurt. And if you wanted eggs and bacon made to order with scones! This is a little ways outside of Santa Fe but so worth the stay, much better than being in a city. The views from the Hacienda were gorgeous and we saw snow, clear skies, cloudy days, and starry nights (in the two days we were there in late March). It was gorgeous! Can't wait to go back!

Each room and main room had a fireplace which was a nice touch to add to the ambiance with the fall weather. The place decorates itself- the architecture is southwestern and unique. The views are gorgeous and the place is perfectly secluded, yet there is still access to the funky little town of Madrid close by. We couldn't have picked a better spot for our intimate family wedding. The team at the Hacienda made planning from a distance very easy for us and we were well taken care of. We are truly so happy with our choice to get married at Hacienda Dona Andrea :)

My husband and I loved the peacefulness of this place, but the hostess was a little strange.

Little did we know that we would be plunging it daily! There were no screens in the windows, so if you wanted fresh air it came complete with bugs! The casitas were very small and cramped with no place to eat your food unless you went out onto the porch. Unfortunately, I dropped a small piece of chicken on the sheet and quickly tried to clean it up, but it left a small stain. I felt terrible until I saw the bill included a cleaning fee and service charge. What service?

I wandered the main house set up with ofrendas and read quickly about the history of the property. I'd like to come back and delve more into the details when there's not as much of a crowd to hurry you along. Unfortunately, the Dia de Los Muertos event itself was a bit disappointing (hence the 3 stars instead of 4 for the location itself). Only a few lowriders and food trucks were present. There was live music and dancing, but the procession itself was small and not like images of parades I've seen from the past. But, it's a great way to acknowledge and represent our culture and those who have gone before us. 2022 #58

The Gutierrez - Hubbell House was an undiscovered gem. I've lived in this town 20+ years, I'd never connected to this incredible organization/venue, but I'm headed back, soon. A few notes on why you MUST visit this farm/museum: lush, immaculate, expansive. Family-friendly, too. These acres own an identity that goes way back, 18th century, and you'll need to take a tour to learn the specifics, but the basics: east coast wanderer meets a Spanish girl, they start a family, become an invaluable resource in this city, and that's the way they all became the Gutierrez-Hubbell Bunch. Bah dum bum. Two hundred-plus years later the venue nearly falls victim to private investors, but a spirited group of locals volunteer to uphold a legacy. Gardens grow. Festivals flourish. The heritage of Albuquerque's south valley remains intact. The place is open year-round save holiday closures. Tours are easily scheduled, just call. There's so much to experience around here, the grounds are gorgeous, rows of produce pop outside the doors of the facility. The Fermentation Festival has become the largest fundraiser/educational event of their season, and from what I've learned, it's worth a visit, late June.

He made our anniversary even more special with a free dessert, a coupon for a free wine flight on our next visit and a hand written list of recommended local attractions and eateries. And then there is the food. The potsticker appetizer was pleasing to both the eye and palate. I had the meatloaf entree which was delicious. And my husband loved the beef bourguignon. And the crème brûlée we had for dessert was delightfully creamy underneath a beautiful gold crust.

I once at at the bar, and behind me at the bar top tables, two of them sat unbussed for 30 minutes. It's pretty gross, not to mention, a loss of potential revenue not to have those cleared, set and seated. The bar, in particular is understaffed, and it needs to have a permanent person working beside serving and another clearing just to keep up with the number of diners who eat there -especially on the weekends. Recently, we were seated in the back and it was obvious that no one thought to tell the servers they'd opened up the tables and someone was there. No one even looked at us, offered to bring us water, and instead they avoided looking at us. I don't understand how such a popular restaurant can be so unorganized. If they don't have enough staff, then don't seat people everywhere.
