This property is incredible. The views of the valley and mountains, as well as Ghost Ranch and the Mesa will definitely amaze you. Catch the sunrise and the sunset. See the stars and the Milky Way!

The views from the house atop the mesa felt like you could see for miles and were simply stunning! Unlike anything else we have seen, whether it was sunrise or sunset. Our flight was delayed and Larry was a great communicator, giving us tips on where to stop for groceries and was so helpful in all ways. Truly a wish list place to stay.

The views at the property are better than you can imagine. Stunning. The stars are amazing and its quiet. Really quiet. The house is comfortable. and well appointed with everything you will need to have a great stay. The location is remote, but Bode's General Store is close and they have ice cream among other essentials. Being out first time to see the New Mexico landscape it was awesome and would do it again. We recommend making the drive to Pilar for one of the Rio Grande Gorge river raft trips. Was beautiful. Lastly, Prarie Dogs.

Absolutely lived up to the description and more. This home is so thoughtfully stocked with everything my small family could need for a long weekend getaway. The views left us awe struck and in a state of vacation bliss. The rock maze was such a cool touch. Would absolutely stay here again and again.

This house was incredible! We were overwhelmed with its location and the quietness of the neighborhood. Can't really describe it as it was much more incredible than we expected. It was just beautiful! Larry was great and there were no issues. If you are thinking about staying at this property, just do it as you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful house with a view

We had a great extended weekend stay and were very impressed by the house and the architecture that takes great advantage of the view of Lake Abiquiu. The fire pit area is a fantastic place to take in the scenery and the night sky. Very comfortable and lovely place to spend a vacation!
