- "This place was awesome. It has some unbelievable sunrises, sunsets & views. If you love nature & peaceful surroundings look no further." - "We loved our stay at the Lake View Domes. Marie allowed all the privacy we needed but was a friendly face if we had questions or needed help. The views in the day were outstanding and always changing with the weather. The patio had seating to gaze across the valley towards Abiquiu and the lake. It was all we really needed! Our dog Odie was welcomed with open arms and hiking was available from the property. Perfect place for quiet and contemplation, we would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you Marie and Cindy."

- "A wonderful spot, quiet , dark and so peaceful. Everyone loved waking up to the sunrise over the mountains and the sun hitting the red rock of Ghost Ranch. We took some wonderful walks and loved the cows and the coyotes." - "We were looking for a place to stay for a couple of nights after days of snow adventure at the Taos Ski Valley. My husband and I stumbled upon Vista de Lago and the pictures really captivated us. We've rented cabins and condos before but never tried a house surrounded by serene nature, away from the crowd! We had the 3 kids (teenagers) with us, and our Goldendoodle. The drive from Taos was already scenic but we were in awe as soon as we entered the Abiquiu lake area. It was a sunny afternoon when we arrived and everyone took their phones right away to take pictures of the hills and views of the lake! My 2 girls started collecting rocks and making rock formations! Even our dog was inspecting the rocks and the new terrain, running around freely! At night we were worried the kids will be bored because there was no cable, but who would need cable?!! After dinner we just chilled and chatted for hours, then watched a movie together from the DVD selection available. In the morning we watched the sunrise together and hiked around the area after a good breakfast. It was chilly in the morning but eventually warmed up to become an absolute perfect day. We were a bit worried about cayotes (from another review) and heard a couple of howling and bear-like sounds at night but realized that the community was fenced so should be safe. We were still careful though during our strolls as we had our dog with us unleashed. On the day of our checkout it started snowing and it was another sight to enjoy! Thanks to Larry for giving us this experience and sharing their beautiful house! He was quick to respond and gave us all needed info. We definitely recommend this vacation home and hope to return soon!"

Please see important NOTE at the end of this description regarding RV's and other recreation vehicles.

'It was all so far away--there was quiet and an untouched feel to the country and I could work as I pleased.' Georgia O'Keeffe

Serenity abounds at Casa Bonita, where it is easy to see why this country had such a profound impact on Georgia O'Keeffe. Light and open, this modern adobe rests on ten acres overlooking Abiquiu Lake towards Ghost Ranch, with gorgeous views in all directions. Picture windows throughout the living area allow you to appreciate the vistas from the comfort of the well-appointed interior. The covered portales (covered porches) are ideal for enjoying the tranquility of the environment. Admire the view of the Pedernal from the portale off of the master suite, or take in the iconic landscape of Ghost Ranch while you grill on the portale off of the kitchen.

Spend your days hiking, visiting area galleries, or reconnecting with your own creative side. And after enjoying the unique sunset at the end of the day, savor the starlight of the unadulterated night sky.

'My first memory is of light--the brightness of light--light all around.' Georgia O'Keeffe

NOTE: RV's, trailers of any sort, large trucks, and small vehicles: motorcycles, skimobiles and such are prohibited in this gated community, called High Mesas.

- "We come back to this home away from home every year. A perfect spot if you love really getting away from it all except a comfortable place with a gorgeous view" - "From the moment we walked in the door until the moment we closed it at the end of our stay, we cherished the snug shelter and stunning views. As the title suggests, we will return." - "We so enjoyed our stay at your home in Abiquiu. It was the highlight of out trip to New Mexico."

In the spring of 2010 Martinez Casita opened also for short term rentals. Conveniently located next to Barranca Plaza Casita, a favorite of many Ghost Ranch visitors for the last 7 years!

Barranca is an old Hispanic hamlet just west of Abiquiu above the Chama River. On its small plaza there are a few adobe houses, one of which is this very charming one bedroom, one bath vacation home.
The thick adobe walls have built-in banco's in the living area. Throughout the casita are tiled and wooden floors. A woodstove gives you great comfort in the winter. The thick walls keeps the house cool in the summer.

A large garden with fruit trees surrounds the casita.

In Barranca you will find a lively creek coming from the mountains. Follow the spring-fed creek up-stream and enter the Santa Fe National Forest with sensational views of the Abiquiu valley and the surrounding mountain lands. Badlands with goblin-like formations are nearby. The Chama River, along which are cattle ranches, is great for fishing.

The casita is just minutes from Georgia O'Keeffe's home and a short drive from the Piedra Lumbre basin. Ghost Ranch is worth many visits and don't forget to drive out into the Chama River canyon to hike or visit the Benedictine Monastery. The Chama River Wilderness is paradise for explorers.

The acequia, the traditional Hispanic community water system, is still held in high regard in Barranca. The mayordomo decides who irrigates when. The casita’s garden can be irrigated on Saturdays.

Great day trips can be made to Ojo Caliente Mineral Hot Springs, Taos en Taos Pueblo, the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Chama (with the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad), Bandelier National Monument, Chaco Culture National Historic Park, Valle Grande, etc. etc.

Family gatherings and reunions:
Both Martinez Casita and Barranca Plaza Casita offer full privacy. Yet since the casitas are sitting together on one end of Barranca Plaza, they form an ideal gathering place for groups of eight family members or old school friends. BBQ facilities are provided and there are great shadowy spots to linger under the trees. Special rates are available when both casitas are rented.

- "I really enjoyed my stay in this lovely little casita, though little isn't really accurate! It was super roomy with separate living areas, outside pergola BBQ area and views of the mountains. The casita was convenient for exploring the area without the bother of road noise and I enjoyed the bucolic nature of the location. I was greeted by Nimfa, who was super friendly and kind, and gave me some great suggestions. I would recommend this for anyone who likes to get off the beaten track!"

Evidenced by the photography, narratives and passion of companion properties listed on this site- and seared into the American imagination by the paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe- the Piedra Lumbre basin captivates; a thin place. From the edge of a mesa, Casita á Medida surveys it all: red cliffs forming Abiquiu Lake to the East, Ghost Ranch expanding to the North, Chama River Valley to the West and El Pedernal dominating the horizon to the South. Filling between are the ranges of Sangre de Cristo and the Jemez, Santa Fe National Forest and Kit Carson National Forest. And dark sky nights.

To experience this area takes time, a lifetime pursuit of many. Days of hiking, fishing, boating, rafting, discovering petroglyphs, searching for fossils/ historic remnants; trips to Santa Fe, Taos, Ojo Caliente, Navajo Lake, Heron Lake, Chama, Pagosa Springs, Silverton and Durango, CO. Casita á Medida is designed with the long stay in mind. Built in the spirit of Northern New Mexico with deep deference to the surrounding landscape, Casita á Medida is a compound style retreat with one building housing dual master suites and another the great room, forming a protected patio third living space. The vast windows frame the art listed above (follow the changing forms of El Pedernal while preparing dinner; overlook the serenity of Ghost Ranch as you relax in the soaking tub). Inside melts to out. Designed to be completely off-grid, the site also features sustainable design such as passive solar mass, solar heat-boost for the domestic hot water and radiant floor heat, as well as gray watering, rain catchment and Holzer spirited permaculture supporting landscaping designed to further the circle.

With dual master suites (featuring a King and Queen or Queen and two twins) and a separated great room/kitchen structure, Casita á Medida can be modified to meet the needs for your stay. Allow yourself the time to be able to appreciate the experience. Allow yourself permission that the enjoyment - and biggest achievement- was that the day was.

- "I had trouble locating the unit. A bit remote; had to travel a few miles on a gravel road. GPS info in listing is not accurate - GPS does not work well at the location. When I arrived, 1/2 of unit had no power. Called Tania, she came immediately and flipped the breaker switch back on. However, after my arrival, ABSOLUTELY no problems. Enjoyed the views, the peace and quiet, rainbows after showers on far side of lake. Pet friendly. I would recommend this unit to anyone who may be traveling in the area."

- "The views were very enchanting. House was very nice. Forth of July was warm during afternoon and evening. Air conditioning in the bedroom would have made huge difference. Not all windows had screens; nor did the doors. Outside shower was wonderful. The quietness of the valley was soothing." - "Beautiful clean home… the views were spectacular especially at sunset" - "Remote and a bit of a challenge to find, but the stunning landscapes, majestic silence, and privacy were more than compensation. Lovely and relaxing."

Bring all your food and drink provisions with you. Bring prepared foods or plan to prepare simple meals in the microwave, toaster oven or outside on the charcoal BBQ. While two plates and cups are provided, you will want to bring any dishes that you want to cook with.

The studios are located outside the village of Abiquiu in a gated community on Abiquiu Lake. It is about a 25 minute drive to Abiquiu. There is a wonderful history in this area - from dinosaurs, to Native American pueblos, to Spanish explorers, to cattle rustlers, to ghosts and witches, to Georgia O'Keeffe - all the way to our current age where the past history and culture blends with the multi-cultural artist colony that Abiquiu has become.

The room is conveniently located near Ghost Ranch, Echo Amphitheater, Monastery of Christ in the Desert, Plaza Blanca, Pedernal, and the Carson National Forest. You will also want to explore the Purple Adobe Lavender Farm, Bandelier National Monument, the nearby Cumbres Toltec Train, rafting the Chama River, the Ra Paulette Cave Tour, and Ojo Caliente.

You will need a car. During winter months, we recommend a 4WD or AWD as many of the roads in New Mexico are dirt/gravel. The roads back to the studios are dirt/gravel.

You may want to consider purchasing trip insurance in case your travel plans change or if you have concerns about traveling. Although we understand situations arise making cancellations unavoidable, we do not take responsibility for changes to your reservation due to delayed arrivals, early departures, inclement weather, unforeseen changes to travel plans, medical or family emergencies, work conflicts, missed or cancelled flights, pandemics, force majeure, etc. Travel insurance is used to protect your trip in the event of cancellation, or you can self-insure by taking on the risk yourself. Please note that as a small business owner, we cannot act as your travel insurance.

We provide directions and a code for the door so you can arrive anytime after the scheduled check-in time for easy self-checking, without needing to coordinate with us.

After booking, a Renter's Agreement will be emailed to you detailing rules of the property.

- "Rental had everything one would need as a simple base camp while exploring the area. Everything was clean and even had some coffee and snacks waiting if needed. A/C worked well in 95 degree days and the mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker provided everything I needed. Would recommend!" - "Stunning panoramic views. Enjoyed walking on dirt roads and paddling in SUP." - "The beauty of the location is spectacular, but what I enjoyed the most was the quality of the silence... it was amazing! I can't wait to go back!"

Neighbourhood Overview
The quaint 200 person village of Canones is the nearest town.

GETTING AROUND
The property is far from the commotion and contamination of the city, and therefore requires a little advanced preparation. Make a stop in Santa Fe, Espanola, or Abiquiu and pick up your groceries for your time at THE LAND.
We recommended trying to drive in during the day as opposed to at night in order to make the journey into THE LAND easier. The property is located in a valley that requires a little bit of focus to find. Don’t worry we provide you with concise directions!

HOSTS
We arrived at THE LAND as airbnb guests. Instantly we felt a deep connection to the land and this beautiful space. Just out of curiosity we decided to do a google search to see what was for sale in the area, lo and behold, the very property we were staying at was listed for sale. So we bought it !
It's been a real adventure. Our vision is to create a sustainable eco-friendly designer living space. We are trying to restore the land, the trees, and orchard that had been grossly neglected by the previous owners who hadn't watered or nurtured the land in over 2 years. Additionally we are moving into full solar energy, composting of all organic matter, recycling of greywater, a massive

- "Overall, probably one of the best VRBO properties we’ve stayed in. From the private deck to the amazingly well stocked kitchen to the beautiful walks around the property and the yoga decks. It is a bit off of the beaten track, but that is something we really like. Just make sure you have the supplies you need on arrival. Very friendly hosts. We’ll be back." - "This property is special. Nestled in the canyons with incredible views. Very comfortable accommodations and nicely appointed. Loved it."

The Tree Home is a design-rich adobe nestled beneath apricot trees in its own quiet fold of the valley—a favorite among families and small groups seeking both comfort and connection.
Sunlight pours into the living room through a wall of windows, illuminating custom finishes: diamond plaster walls, vintage textiles, natural materials, and the organic warmth of hand-selected furnishings. The heart of the home is its open-plan living and dining area, anchored by a wood-burning stove, a traditional kiva fireplace, and a large family table—ideal for shared meals, games, or slow mornings.
The kitchen is exceptionally well-appointed and includes:
4-burner stove with oven
Vitamix blender
Coffee maker, kettle & toaster
Food processor
Cast iron skillet & full cookware set
Fully stocked dishware, glassware, mugs, and wine glasses
Coffee, tea, olive oil, salt, pepper, and essential cooking spices
The home has two bathrooms. One features a deep soaking tub for long, restorative baths. The second offers a shower for refreshing the body and quieting the mind.
Step outside to a generous terrace with a BBQ grill and outdoor dining area beneath the trees. A hammock sways nearby, along with a swing and a beautifully crafted, custom-built treehouse that offers a special place for children to dream and play. This home balances thoughtful interior design with outdoor presence—set against the vast skies and quiet grandeur of the northern New Mexico landscape.
Tree Home is one of six custom adobe structures on THE LAND—a 43-acre retreat sanctuary bordered by 1.5 million acres of national forest. A year-round creek flows gently through the property, bringing life, sound, and occasional beaver sightings. The birdlife here is astonishing—an ever-shifting chorus and a delight for birdwatchers and casual observers alike. Abundant is the sound of nature: rustling leaves, birdsong, flowing water, and deep stillness.
In line with our commitment to regenerative living, the home has no air conditioning—we rely on adobe’s natural thermal regulation for perfect climate control. We maintain a strictly pesticide-free property to protect the delicate ecosystem that surrounds us. By choosing to stay here, you are invited to experiment with a slower, more conscious way of living—one that puts the planet and the animals of this Earth first.

Guest Access
As a guest of Tree Home, you’ll have full access to the 43-acre sanctuary known as THE LAND—a privately held expanse of high desert beauty, surrounded by 1.5 million acres of protected national forest. This rare setting offers uninterrupted vistas, deep silence, and a powerful sense of space and stillness.
Wander freely throughout the property, where fruit trees offer seasonal gifts of apricots, apples, pears, and plums—yours to pluck straight from the branches when in season. Open any gate and step directly into the national forest for hiking, nature walks, or truly unparalleled mountain biking. Enjoy wide-open trails and off-trail riding through rugged terrain, all without another soul in sight.
Sit quietly by the acequia, listen to the year-round creek as it winds through the valley, or watch for beavers at dusk. Children can safely explore while you rest, reconnect, or simply breathe more deeply.

Shared amenities include:
Two open-air yoga/viewing decks, ideal for movement, meditation, or stargazing beneath some of the clearest night skies in North America
The Fire View, a raised stone platform with unobstructed views of the Pedernal, featuring a wood-burning fire pit and grill for gathering, storytelling, and open-flame cooking

Access to Beaver Creek
Access to the Tsiping Ruins trailhead
Private entry into the surrounding Santa Fe National Forest

Other details to note
We charge a 30 USD dog fee per dog. This fee is solely for our cleaner, she is a gem and has a very hard time leaving the place SPARKLING clean without a little extra consideration.

- "Our stay at The Land was very enjoyable. We stayed in the treehouse with our kids (5 years old and 18 months) and Grandma and Grandpa and used it as our base of operations for my wife’s elk hunt. The place has a great layout inside and the front porch and treehouse made for a the perfect outdoor play area for the kids. The lack of city lights and the front deck made for some beautiful views of the stars and planets through the spotting scope at night. It was located perfectly for hunting and we only had a short drive to our hunting spots each day. The amenities were as advertised and the lack of cell service makes for a good way to unplug from the normal day to day. The Wi-Fi was solid and allowed us to review maps at night and make our plans for the next day without issue. Contact with the owners was easy (we needed to extend our stay by one day) and during our discussion Jonathan asked if we needed anything and offered to drop additional firewood off at our place. He was very accommodating and friendly when we met him. This is a very pretty location and one we are planning to check into again, especially if we need a good base camp for a hunt in the area."

- "Our few days at The Grand Hacienda, high on a mesa overlooking Abiquiu Lake and the surrounding stunning geography, were like a time apart; a place where time slows down and one is relieved, for a bit, of the noise of the world. This unique place is the product of two remarkable individuals who took the time and did the research to create a sophisticated yet down to earth, aesthetic and restorative experience. As artists (painter and architect), we deeply appreciate the "green" construction, the design and strategic siting of the building and each of its three suites, the thoughtful cuisine - creative, healthful and delicious! - the overall tone of the place, its tasteful landscaping and appointments. There simply isn't anything intrusive or abrasive in the entire experience. On the contrary, everything is designed to offer a time and space that is both stimulating and profoundly restful. Carolyn and Tom have created a jewel."

At The Grand Hacienda, you will find yourself in a magically beautiful and inspiring location where you can do as much - or as little - as you want. There is wonderful hiking, rafting, and exploring. The local area is full of history, culture, geologic wonders and adventures. But you will want to carve out time to enjoy your destination - the stillness and beauty of The Grand Hacienda.

Each suite opens from a private entrance into your spectacular living space. A king-sized bed, ensuite bathroom with a spa shower and a soaking tub, and private outdoor portal (patio) with views and a chiminea fire pot. Enjoy complimentary WiFi and Cable TV. Control your own temperature. Relax with luxurious linens, towels and bathroom products.

All three suites in The Grand Hacienda are totally different, and yet, all are magical. You also will have access to our wonderful common areas, including a shared full kitchen; the Great Room with a kiva fireplace, sitting and dining areas, books, games and puzzles; laundry facilities; the Lakeside Portal for outdoor dining or relaxing; a bocce ball court; a six-person hot tub overlooking the water; a plaza area with additional seating, a foot pool and access to a rooftop deck for 360' views and sky gazing. No detail has gone unnoticed. No amenity overlooked.

​Outdoors, enjoy the gated and walled inner plaza, try your hand at a game of Jenga or Bocce Ball, enjoy the lakeside portal, soak in the outdoor hot tub, roast s'mores in the outdoor fire pit, use the grill, or hike the property. After a long hike, dip in our splash plunge pool to cool off.

Enjoy free parking, complimentary fire wood, laundry supplies and kitchen supplies.

Start each morning with a three-course gourmet breakfast and specialty coffees, and end each day with an afternoon treat and spectacular sunset. Because we have no light pollution, this is the perfect location to use our telescope and check out stars, planets and the Milky Way.

Our location is like no other. Remote and away from the crowds, the drive to our property is about 4 miles on a dirt road, winding through beautiful country as you make your way towards the lake. Pedernal stands guard on one side, Abiquiu Lake and Ghostranch on the other side. The 360' views of spectacular vistas, red cliffs and the lake are so much better than we can capture in a picture. You really do have to see The Grand Hacienda to believe it.
