I really wanted to love Bishop’s Lodge. I grew up visiting before it became an Auberge property and was hoping for a sense of nostalgia paired with elevated service. Unfortunately, it was a huge letdown. Over several days, getting in and out of the resort was consistently painful. The valet station was unmanned almost every time we arrived or departed. We had to go find someone to retrieve our car, and twice it was mislabeled. On departure, I called 40 minutes ahead to request our bags and car for a 7:50am pickup. No one came. When we walked down, it turned out the request hadn’t even been put in. The person who eventually helped us forgot a bag and couldn’t figure out how to close the trunk—then simply walked away. Room service and requests took at least 45 minutes, even for something as simple as a morning coffee. The resort layout has no flow, which only amplifies how long everything takes. For $1,000 a night, this is just unacceptable. Design-wise, the place feels disjointed and underwhelming—not the elevated or relaxing atmosphere one would expect from a luxury property. The only redeeming feature is the view, which is beautiful. But that alone doesn’t justify the cost or the hassle. Adding insult to injury, there were daily protests outside the resort about water pollution caused by the property. It’s a poorly run operation and apparently an environmental mess to boot. Truly disappointing. Stay elsewhere.

Great fun. Very personable staff, always willing to help 24 hrs a day. Beautiful, rustic setting. Bring your walking shoes. Lots to walk and hike to. Hot but dry and 7000 ft high, and no mosquitos. If you are into art Santa Fe has plenty. Take the tour, very interesting.

We had a wonderful experience at Bishop's Lodge. We especially loved how dog friendly they were and even had an insane dog set up waiting for us in our room with toys, treats, bowls, beds and super cute bandanas! The dogs absolutely loved it and everyone was so nice and welcoming to them. We really loved the hiking trails surrounding the property as well. Our room was incredible with the most comfy bedding, pillows and bed. The design is on point! The property itself is stunning with beautiful landscaping and sweet little sitting areas. This place is the perfect little gem tucked away just minutes from the downtown. We will definitely be back!

Came to Bishops Lodge with our 86 y/o mother. We had been to the property in 2011. What a wonderful change! We enjoyed the stay so much we spent an extra night. Had the best massages at the Spa Dance, enjoyed horse back riding with Jeff and Ricky on Roney and Amigo! We ate delicious food at the SkyFire restaurant every day. Took advantage of the water color painting and star gazing events. Loved it all! Benji

Bishop’s Lodge is a gorgeous property with wonderful amenities and lots of activities! The spa and fitness center were both well appointed. Our group took over the Bunk House and we loved the private “lodge” vibe and having our own common space. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. And we loved our guided experiences/ horseback riding, hiking and fly fishing.

“The Bishop's Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa was fabulous. They are so nice and treat everyone like they are the only people at the resort.”

“The reserved rooms were either shabby or had views that overlooked industrial buildings...for $50 per day we were upgraded to an outstanding villa that was probably worth much more”
