Experience Mountain Life Any Time Of The Year At On The Rocks Retreat
Our home provides enough beds to accommodate up to eight adults (two to a bedroom) and three or four children. It boasts three separate living spaces, one on each level of the house. The two primary bedrooms on each end of the main level living area have attached bathrooms and walk-in closets. Each primary also has its own access to the deck which overlooks the valley below. One primary has a full-sized crib available to accommodate a small child. There are two additional bedrooms and a separate sleeping area with two bunk beds on the lower level. Those bedrooms and the bunk area have access to one bathroom with a shower on that level. Also on that level is a comfortable living area with a TV and a foosball table. An open, spacious living area on the main level with a fireplace, TV and incredible views provides a comfortable gathering space. The deck off that living area offers spectacular views and warmer weather seating. Another deck off the lower level allows for more outdoor enjoyment. A dining table that sits six is just off the well-equipped kitchen, and another table and chairs are available to expand the seating to ten. There is additional bench seating at the kitchen island plus a highchair. Also on the main level is a half bath, a full-size pantry and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. The loft above the main living area has a full bath and includes a sleeper sofa, chairs and a TV. A two-car garage gives guests the convenience of parking out of the weather, plus two separate driveway entrances/exits help when road conditions are not at their best. Note: Winter conditions in and around Angel Fire, including our driveway, pose driving risks and roads that often require a four wheel drive. You need to have four wheel or at least all wheel drive vehicles during the winter. WE DO HAVE 3 CAMERAS OUTSIDE - ONE AT THE FRONT DOOR AND TWO TRAIL CAMERAS IN THE SIDE AND BACK YARDS.

Wonderful vacation property. Fairly high up in the mountain so the view from the deck is very picturesque. Our family had a great visit to Angel Fire ski resort with some first-time skiers among our crew. Property was equipped with everything we needed and provided a comfortable stay. We enjoyed watching the family of mule deer who visited us daily in the late afternoon.
Booked last minute and property owner did all possible to make our booking possible. Great communication and overall great place. We enjoyed our stay! Very family oriented place.
We enjoyed staying at this home over the Christmas/New Year season. The process was easy and Cynthia was so great to work with. The home is laid out really well for families and the pictures do not give you a full grasp of how beautiful the home is.

Need to be more accurate
The description needs to be more accurate with the bathroom and bedroom ratio.. The kitchen appliances need to be updated plus the outdoor grill..

We are sorry you felt compelled to give us a three-star rating. It came as quite a shock since for the past eight years we have consistently received five stars. We strive to provide as many things as possible to make our guests’ stay comfortable and enjoyable.
Our response here is based on seeing only the first couple of sentences of your review. However, we feel compelled to mention that, after the time for your deposit return had passed, you had people in your group back out. Out of the goodness of our hearts, we gave you a discounted rate for your stay based on only 6 adults being in your group.
Pictures of our home show the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. We don’t try to hide anything. We feel 4 ½ bathrooms should be sufficient for six adults. In our property description we note the lower level has only one bathroom which serves the two bedrooms and bunk area. The full bath in the loft is often used by some who stay in the lower level. The two main level bedrooms each have their own ensuite bathrooms, and there is also a half bath on that level. In terms of the appliances, they are all clean and in good working order – and the microwave is new. We don’t typically replace things that are still functioning well. The outside grill is new and works well. It is electric because in our area there are often fire bans where outside fires/grills are prohibited.
This house is great for large family. Main floor has two master bedrooms w/baths, baby beds, living area, kitchen, dining area, laundry room, 1/2 bath and large deck. We have a 17 mo old, so that was great. The loft has sofa and chairs, desk, Barbie house, (our four yr olds LOVED that) full bath, baby gates on stairwell. The basement has two bedrooms, living area, bunk bed area, full bath and puppet showcase. The living room has window wall from ceiling to floor to let in the beautiful scenery surrounding the house and two doors on either side of the windows leading out to the deck. NOTE: the threshold on doors opening to deck are metal and are VERY hot from sunshine, our toddler got blisters on both feet from stepping on it (just took seconds). Other than that everything was great, all you have to bring is your luggage and food/drinks, EVERYTHING else is provided. Enjoy!!! We did.
Really enjoyed staying there. Has most anything you might need in the kitchen. Crib and highchair are handy. 4 wheel drive is needed in the winter time. I give it a 9!
Our family really enjoyed staying On The Rocks!! Enough room for all 9 of us. Enjoyed the view and the home was spacious and clean! Proximity to the ski slopes and town made everything convenient. Would not hesitate to go back again!!!
We truly enjoyed staying in your beautiful house! Thank you for being so flexible and accommodating. Everything we needed was available to us throughout out stay. We hope to return next year!
Our stay was amazing! The house was very spacious and very clean. The kitchen had more gadgets and cookware than we could use during our stay. That made meal times extremely easy. The views were truly breathtaking and it made it hard for us to want to leave. The homeowners were very helpful and answered our questions quickly. It’s not goodbye, but instead- see you next time!
We loved our stay! We had two families stay together, and we had plenty of room. The owners were so nice and accommodating, especially with COVID19 cutting our trip short. It was an easy check in process, and we had everything we needed. We had easy access to the slopes which was awesome, and a gorgeous view from the porch! Highly recommend 4 wheel drive for the driveway and roads, but it's well worth it.
Stayed here again with my brother's family. 4 adults, 4 kids and plenty of room for more if we had needed it. We love the location up the mountain and the fact that we have plenty of room for the kids to have space to play without interrupting adult conversation. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The owners are great with communication. I would imagine we will be staying here again!

Great house
We had four adults and four kids (age range of 6 to 13) and this house was great for us. It's a three level house which makes for plenty of space. The house was very clean and ready for us when we arrived. The loft area was perfect for the kids to hang out and play games or watch TV. It's very close to the ski resort and not too far from the town area in case you need to pick up something from the grocery store or grab a meal. I will say that four wheel drive would be recommended due to the location and the driveway (owner was very upfront about the driveway situation so we knew ahead of time) but we were also there when the weather was pretty crazy for March. The property manager who lives in the area was extremely helpful if we needed something and the owner always responded to any emails, both before and during our trip. We would definitely stay at this house again.

Perfect Getaway
The views from this home are amazing. We loved our stay and the entire family comfortably enjoyed the extra space and bedrooms. The kids entertained themselves "quietly" downstairs while the adults enjoyed a well stocked kitchen and made drinks by the fireplace. I highly recommend this property!

Nice And warm stay
We spent the week of Christmas in Angel Fire and this cabin was perfect! The house was very warm and cozy and had all the amenities that we wanted. The driveway was steep and a four wheel drive was definitely needed as stated on the advertisement

Had a great stay
We found this house to be very well equipped. We stayed for four days for a ski trip and there was absolutely nothing that we needed that the house didn't have. We especially liked the three separated living areas so that our families could have their own space at night.
The homeowner had recommended that we not take any 2 wheel drive vehicles down the steep driveways to the house. We had 4 inches of snow the first night we were there and were very glad that we took her advice. The four-wheel-drive pick up came out but not easily. I'm sure that a 2 Wheel Drive vehicle of any kind would not have made it. The drive to the slopes was a bit dicey but the snow plows had it cleared quickly. Again just as promised by the homeowner.
We loved the fireplace and there was plenty of firewood. There were snow shovels for digging out and sleds for the kids. This house was very clean when we arrived and everything was just as the owner had said it would be.
We highly recommend this house.

Numerous family mountain and ski trips to New Mexico, Colorado and Utah over the years instilled in us the desire to one day own a mountain retreat of our own. We found the Angel Fire community to fill all of our needs, including golfing, hiking, biking, sledding, skiing, fishing, rafting and much more.
Why they chose this property
Our home fulfilled all of our priorities in selecting a mountain house. It has enough bedrooms, bathrooms and living space to accommodate our ever expanding family, it has the spectacular views of the mountains and valley we wanted, it is situated in a friendly community, and it is only a ten hour drive from our primary residence.
