We wanted a wedding space where we could invite our families from Texas to stay and experience a little taste of Mew Mexico. Leaping Deer Ranch was the perfect choice to make our diy wedding exactly how we envisioned it while also getting to spend quality time with our families. The ranch had so many amenities I wish we could have stayed longer just to enjoy all that was offered. Hiking, eating fresh eggs, and playing darts were a few of our favorites. Colin was available for questions when needed but gave us the space to celebrate and enjoy each others company. We were able to visit a few times before the wedding so we knew exactly how we wanted to set up and prepare for the big day. Leaping Deer Ranch may not be as advertised or set up just for weddings like other places but that’s what makes it the best place to design and decorate EXACTLY what you want for your unique and special day. We’re so lucky we found LDR for our wedding, and we’re motivated to continue to “Do Something Good”!

Would 1000% recommend the Leaping Deer Ranch for any couple that enjoys a peaceful environment surrounded by nature and amazing scenery! The accommodations are perfect for a wedding or any type of formal event. Our families were able to get to know each other and have space to rest. Our wedding was peaceful and magical because of the careful attention of Colin and his staff at Leaping Deer Ranch! We are already looking for excuses to come back! Thank you to Colin and the crew at the LDR for your hospitality!

Definitely one of the most amazing Airbnb experiences we’ve had. This villa is enormous, well designed, and located in a quiet, beautiful location just over an hour from Santa Fe. The surroundings are extremely quiet and peaceful, with wonderful star-gazing at night just outside the doorstep, and the lovely labyrinth for a meditative walk. Everyone had a wonderful time and we’re already talking about coming back. Highly recommended in every way!

Colin is a thoughtful and available host. He set up a great bonfire for us. The house is very clean, large, and beautiful. The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed plus more.

We had a great time at the Leaping Deer Ranch! The ranch had everything we could need, even free eggs! Fluffy is the best dog too!

I stay in vacation rental homes a dozen or more times per year, and Leaping Deer Ranch is the best of the best. The house is stunning, the setting is beautiful, the amenities are ample, and Colin and his crew run the place professionally. While the house and setting make it worthwhile, the little touches like a supply of fresh eggs from the ranch and Colin’s easy-going nature make this not just a good rental but a vacation destination.

This property is one of the most beautiful and hidden gems I’ve ever come across. Photos do not do it justice. Immaculate, grand and gorgeous, it’s a truly unique experience.
