Cozy home, beautiful yard!

The home was clean, cozy and comfortable. Our 4 year old especially loved the sunroom! The backyard was the huge selling point for us and was even more beautiful in person. Lovely plants and trees and direct access to the river. We spent most of our weekend back there! Perfect place for a relaxing, quiet getaway.

Rustic

Property was just as described. Clean and well stocked. River in back yard is great and so peaceful. Only complaint is that there is futon beds which is great but no extra blankets at least we couldnt find any would be nice to include some. They do warn about a sensitive well system which is great but sensitive does mean sensitive we got a short shower and a small load of dishes and we were out of water for a bit. There is separate drinking water but just keep that in mind if long showers are a must. Plenty of heaters to keep house warm in the cold winter. We will stay again when in the area, really loved access to the river.

River front oasis

Fully stocked home with kitchen essentials for cooking or grilling. Cabinet full of board games, updated cooling units throughout the home. My teenager fly fishing from the back yard while my husband grills are memories unmatched. We always visit Pilar for fishing, Velarde for roadside fruit stands, wineries, gas museum, Taos, the gorge, and so much more. It’s an understated residence that is rustic and water conservation awareness lends to a greater experience.

Riverfront oasis

This well maintained riverfront property is meant to be enjoyed. Our multiple night stay had our family sad to leave! With easy highway access to the property, the experience is transformed in the backyard with private river access underneath the cottonwoods with lush grass at your feet. A fully stocked comfortable home where we cooked, played games, fished, watched movies, etc. The home is conveniently located near a large farmers fruit stand, historic state site of Los Luceros, art studios, national parks, wineries, and one amazing museum across the street! We hope to return again.

Restful Retreat by the River

Our family of 6 booked this location on the way home from a 9 day road trip because we ended our trip with rafting down the rapids of the Rio Grande. This was the perfect location, only 5 minutes from New Mexico River Adventures. We very much enjoyed this spacious home right on the Rio Grande. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with all we needed. There is also a grill for use in the backyard. The is grocery store is 7 minutes away. There is plenty of seating for eating together - outside on the back porch or by the river, or inside in the dining room or the sunroom. And, the serenity of the backyard is unmatched! We enjoyed a lot of time playing games and hanging out with our family in the backyard while listing to the sounds of the river. If you’re looking for a place to relax and be refreshed, you won’t be disappointed with this retreat by the river!

Great Location and Fabulous Grounds

This cozy house with fabulous grounds is nestled against the Rio Grande River. We found ourselves spending many hours each day sitting at the river enjoying the large shade trees. This restful spot was well appointed for a group of family or friends and in proximity to both Taos or Santa Fe. The owners were great hosts and communicated well with us. This will be a return location for future travel to the area.

Watching the river flow

Beautiful location in Northern New Mexico on the banks of the Rio Grande. The interior was comfortable and functional. Adjusting temperatures and getting a comfortable air flow was sometimes challenging. The place would benefit from more screened windows to reduce reliance on window AC. Condition of nearby properties reflects Northern New Mexico funkiness.
