Hotel
La Fonda on the Plaza evokes a traditional southwestern experience. This beautiful hotel is convenient to lots of dining, shopping, and excursion options. It's also convenient from the rail station for those that are not renting a vehicle. We have procured a block rate at $219/night. You can book online with the group code or call the hotel directly. If this option is not for you, there are many other hotels in Santa Fe that may better suit your needs, but the buss to and from the ranch will be leaving from the Santa Fe Plaza so you'll have to arrange transportation to the La Fonda on the Plaza on the day of (Uber or Taxi). Again we don't recommend you Uber to the ranch as it is likely to be quite expensive.

Travel Note
If you are driving, don’t use GPS or Google Maps - you will not get to the ranch. You can use GPS until you exit on 323. After that, GPS loses signal and Google doesn't know exactly where the ranch is. Please refer to these directions from that point on or you will get lost. Take 1-25 towards Las Vegas, NM. Exit on 323 (Villanueva) and turn right. You are now on Highway 3. Head south on Highway 3 towards Villanueva. You will go passed the Post Office on your left, go down a hill, and over the railroad tracks. Continue to follow Highway 3 until you come to a fork in the road which is 484 JCT – turn right. (This is approximately 5 miles after the exit, next to a bar and a body shop.) Stay on 484 for approximately 4.5 miles going up the mountain. You will pass a large school on your left and a fire department, keep going. Drive to the very top of the Mountain. When you reach the top of the mesa, drive for approximately 1 mile and we are the first driveway on the right-hand side. If the road turns from paved to dirt, you've gone too far. You will see boxes for the US Postal Service by a large rust-colored metal gate on your right.
House Or Rental
If you are coming as a family or a group of friends you may want to have an AirBnB instead of a hotel. There are lots of options in Santa Fe and Albuquerque but note that the shuttles on the day of the wedding will be leaving from the Santa Fe Plaza
Shuttle
June 4, 2022 3:15 pm - 11:30 pm
We will have a shuttle to transport guests from the hotel to the venue. The ride is about 45 minutes. The shuttle will depart from the La Fonda on the Plaza at 3:15pm, and depart from the Blame Her Ranch at 11:15pm. There is parking available at the venue but if you plan on drinking please take advantage of the shuttle. Note that Ubers and taxis are very expensive from this location as it is rather isolated.
Flight
Flying to Albuquerque is definitely easiest from most places in the country. However, you can also fly directly into Santa Fe, but flights into Santa Fe are generally limited and more expensive.
Train
The NM Rail Runner is by far the cheapest way for out-of-towners to get from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. A shuttle can take you from the airport to the Rail Runner. It's about a 1.5 hour trip if you are taking the Rail Runner but it is a great way to see some of the beautiful NM landscape. There is a station near the plaza in Santa Fe so you won't need a car if you are staying in the hotel block.
