About this property

Stunning Ranch Headquarters Log Home

PLEASE READ OUR REVIEWS!!!
This beautifully restored Historic Log Ranch Headquarters sits on 7 acres and is located 9 miles south of Angel Fire just off the road to Ocate, NM in stunning and pastoral Black Lake. We enjoy unobstructed views across several ponds, wetlands, and extensive (thousands of acres) ranch lands which surround the home. Great for bird watching in the summer and during migrating seasons. Elk herds can be seen almost daily in the fields next to the home and in the front yard, as well as bald eagles, ospreys and many water birds visit our private ponds. It is 14 min. highway drive to the upper parking lot at the Angel Fire Ski Area. Secluded and quiet even though it is just off a well-maintained state highway. This is the area that helps give 'Land of Enchantment' its name. The views across the valleys are stunning. The Black Lake area is where the high country scenes from the movie "Lonesome Dove" were filmed. It is truly a pleasure to experience this historic and special property. All this backing up against massive public lands.

This two bedroom one bath 1400 sq. ft. red fur timber home sleeps 5 with one king bed and one queen. There is also one fold-out queen couch. The large combined kitchen and living room offers a wonderful setting for viewing nature and sharing time with family and friends. A new range and dishwasher have just been installed. With a wood stove and multiple bay windows it's bright and cheery in the day time and warm and cozy at night. The home also has high efficiency central heat.

Our guests have said that they cannot describe how wonderful their experience was while staying with us. This is a unique mountain property offering a truly mountain experience.

Showers too small. Bed was too hot. Washing machine was broken. They only left 2 rolls of toilet paper and 1 trash sack for a 7 day stay. Light bulbs were out and house is dimly lit. The parking spot is on a slope and a bit of a walk to the house. And I caught 3 mice. On the positive side it is a usable space in a lovely location and very peaceful. It just needs to be better cared for considering the price.

This guest was a just awful! They left five bags of garbage in the house which brought in mice. The parking is 25 feet from the front door yet they drove their vehicle all over the front lawn, it is not steep whatsoever. They broke the washing machine upper control panel and left the house in a total mess. My cleaning lady called me crying about how they treated the house. Please read our other reviews. This is the kind of guest we all dread to have in our homes.

The listing for this property shows conflicting information as to the location of the house. The map and distance to points of interest shows it centrally located, but the description states it is 9 miles away from town. Due to weather and planned activities, we needed a nearby place.The host did respond to my request to cancel, but to date has not responded to my request for a partial refund. We never saw the house or checked in.

The site clearly states that we are 8 miles from Angel Fire. She cancelled after check in time and then demanded a full refund. She was a very unreasonable person.

This was a wonderful place to stay, comfortable bed, quiet. It is right off the highway though so not exactly secluded ranch getaway if you’re looking for a cabin in the middle of nowhere. To help with next guests comfort, we could have used fire starter, a lighter, and decaf coffee and hot tea options would add to comfort. Thank you again for the comfortable stay.

The place itself is really nice, it has beautiful views, good location (only 15m drive from the ski area), has tv, internet, kitchen, all the stuff you'd want out of a place like this.Unfortunately the bathroom didn't get cleaned from the previous renters. There was stains in the toilet, toothpaste and hair stuck to the sink and a giant pile of dirty towels in the bathtub that we had to wash. Mind you, if you leave dirty dishes in the sink upon checking-out there's a 50 fee. It brought into question the cleanliness of everything else and we wondered if it had been cleaned at all. The dishes on the drying rack hadn't been put away either.

Regrettably, the calendars of VRBO and another site were not loading properly for a while and the house did not get cleaned. The calendars seem to be in sink now. My deepest appologies, we have a five-star cleaning rating.

Peaceful Cabin getaway

Such a cool getaway! The elk heard was one of the coolest parts. Sitting on the patio and watching the stars. We heard the Elk sounds and seeing them in the distance was memorable. My family enjoyed it. Short drive to Angel Fire for Groceries etc. Cabin has a good feel inside. Thanks for sharing this!

Perfectly quaint family getaway!!

We had a lovely stay at the Black Lake Ranch! Astounding views of all ranges of wild life. We were a little sad there was no hot tub but a little morning snow made up for it. Absolutely beautiful home & great communication between the owner. So thankful we got to stay here for my Dad’s 62nd birthday!!

Cool place - nice setting

Cool place with interesting and appropriate furnishings. We didn't get to stay the whole time because we were hit with an unusual May snow storm and lost power, and water. Hard to communicate with Edward because of weak cell phone coverage without the internet. But he came through and refunded us for our lost night. We really enjoyed our time there and in the surrounding area.

About the host

Hosted by Edward May

Host profile image

Hello, my name is Edward May and I purchased my home in 1991. The house was originally built around 1927. The original ranch that this home was part of was about 67,000 acres. At one time this area was very successful as a potato farming location. I currently live in Hawaii where I design and install tropical landscapes. I do come home to Black Lake a few times a year and anxiously await every visit. I am always happy to return and the beauty of the surrounding mountains surprises me and brings much pleasure still after all these years.
Thank you,
Ed May

Why they chose this property

This property was located in an amazing location. Considering that it was where the large ranch built, we knew there must have been a reason that they built this home where they did. Often, when it is cold and windy, sitting on the deck is still possible because we are so well protected on the west side by a large hill that breaks the wind so it is very calm here when the wind is blowing hard compared to other places just near by. Located next to and on Little Coyote Creek and we also have ponds just in front of the house. We get to enjoy water views as well. Just all around a wonderful location and a fine home built from the massive trees from the ranch. A sawmill was brought to the location to build the home from the old Douglas Fir trees growing on the ranch.

What makes this property unique

Our guests keep telling us that it was a unique experience to stay at our home and thanking me for sharing it with others. It is my pleasure to share this "Jewel" with my guests. It's unique historic quality coupled with an artistic remodel and restoration, makes staying here a truly one-of-a-kind experience. There is simply nothing like it in the valley and there are very few older homes in the area. The timber logs (squared off on three sides) cut from old-growth fir trees has developed a patina over the last 90 years that can not be found anywhere. This is the real deal, an authentic mountain home. All this, coupled with the remodel of the home including the electric, plumbing and heating system, has created a sense of age with modern beauty and style. Our guests, and I myself, can sit for hours gazing out of the windows at the incredible mountain views and viewing the wildlife. Our ponds give a beautiful foreground to the vast mountain vistas. It is just a pleasure to spend time in this special mountain location.
