From the moment you see the Rio Grande River from our Great Room you know that your Rio Grande Retreat experience will be very special. Our house is located just 20 minutes south of Taos in the village of Rinconada situated in the heart of historic northern New Mexico, between Taos and Santa Fe, right on the banks of the Rio Grande River. Whether you visit in the spring when thousands of flowers are in bloom, the summer when our orchard is producing a variety of delicious apples, the fall when giant cottonwoods are ablaze with color, or the winter with the opportunity to ski at five different ski areas within an hour's travel time, all four seasons will be memorable.

With over three acres of grounds, your Rio Grande Retreat provides all the privacy you will ever desire. The ample and well-maintained gardens and fruit orchards enhance the natural beauty of the red sandstone vistas to the south and the fertile tree-lined banks of the Rio Grande River to the north.

- "Rinconada Retreat was just as represented. Beautifully decorated and offered everything we needed. It is the first time I was provided beach towels and chairs! It was peaceful and we spent a great deal of time out by the river. Breakfast on the upper patio; picnics lower down; and we pulled the smaller table out of the gazebo to dine under the sky." - "Enjoyed the property, the scenery, the nature all around us. We arrived to a beautiful home that was fully stocked with everything we use at our home. The owners left a welcoming gift in the fridge, that was a first for us too while staying at a rental. Thank you so much for that. It was nice getting away from the Texas heat. My family loved the river as the backyard. Myself & my 13yo son thought it was so cool looking at the dark sky seeing stars, moon and whatever else we saw up there moving. Made family memories with our first grandchild, she loved the jacuzzi & hammock. I definitely recommend staying here & plan to go back again. Familia Perez"

This secluded Rio Grande Casita puts the Great Outdoors at your doorstep. The views from the property are unmatched. This traditional village borders both the Rio Grande and the southern Rocky Mountains. Centrally located to sites in Santa Fe, Taos, and southern Colorado, it is a quick, scenic 20 minute drive to Taos, an hour drive from 4 popular ski areas, and a key location for birders, rock climbers, kayakers, and other outdoor enthusiasts. Archaeologists and geologists visit the area to explore cultural sites and rock formations. Artists set up easels along the riverbanks painting the rich colors and dramatic landscapes.

Skip the crowded condo scene and enjoy breathtaking scenery while grilling out on the patio or just kicking back on the screened veranda. Modern kitchen and spacious living area feature brick floors, kiva fireplace, and hand-crafted furniture. Perfect for a romantic getaway or for letting your children enjoy the freedom of natural surroundings.

Winter/Spring Conditions: Winter/Spring in Pilar can be the best time to visit. There are six nearby ski resorts with skiing and snow boarding. Travel time from the casita varies from 45 minutes to a little over an hour. The nearby Orilla Verde Recreation is quiet with returning bald eagles and other wildlife. Of course, summer can be exquisite. Cool nights give way to warm days and the quintessential azure skies of Northern New Mexico.
Taos hosts numerous seasonal festivals featuring regional art, food, and spirits.

Location Details: The casita is located at the end of a private road about 600 feet from the river. It is bordered by BLM land on two sides and is surrounded by mixed conifer trees that offer peace and privacy.
This is a rental by owner. We live next door, 200 feet away, and we are happy to assist visitors with any details regarding their trip to the Taos area.

- "We enjoyed that it was private and quiet, the home itself is beautiful everything from the adobe walls, vigas and brick floors all they way to the appropriately curated art works in the interior design. We were impressed that the home was well equipped for everyone in our family including those of us who love to cook from those of us who love to relax observing the high desert landscape." - "This is hands down the most beautiful place to stay. The views are stunning, the mountain to the left turns a beautiful orange/red just before the sun goes down and the gorge is a sight to see. From every angle there is a spectacular view, on top of that the Rio Grande is a spit down the hill and it is so picturesque. The photos do not capture how special this place is! The road at the bottom of the casita runs along the river and is a beautiful drive. The casita itself is wonderfully crafted by the owner, we could not stop admiring his work. It is very tastefully decorated inside and impeccably clean. We loved the bedrooms, and sweet bathroom and enjoyed the outside patio with visits from humming birds. The owners have put a lot of thought into this house, it’s an absolute GEM! We really enjoyed coming back to the casita each day knowing what beauty we would see on our return. We thoroughly enjoyed this area, Taos was a 15 min drive away, which is also a very beautiful drive with glimpses of Georgia O’Keeffe’s famous Mesa, and incredible views of the gorge. We saw artists with easels painting the view. We spent a week here and really loved all the art and beauty of this area. I can highly recommend staying here, we can’t wait to come back!"

Over a bridge and steps from the Embudo River, this stylish, well-equipped cottage is nestled under cottonwood trees in a private canyon facing a stunning rock face. Relax on the deck overlooking the water, and during late spring and early summer, listen to the river as you fall asleep. The quaint village of Dixon (an artist and vineyard, orchard, organic farm community) is just a mile away.

The property.

In this private canyon, you will enjoy its trees and shade, the river that runs through it, and the constant sound of water on the property during late spring and early summer or after a rain. You can venture out to explore the open landscape -- enjoy the sun, heat, and arid climate, and the attractions of the busy, neighboring towns-- then retreat to this canyon refuge with its cool water, light breezes, birdsong, and shade trees. The property is densely populated with cottonwood, pinon, Russian olive, and juniper trees; in the warm seasons, the fragrance of these and other native plants such as sage fills the air.

Guest access

All parts of the property are available for exploring and relaxing, including a beautiful deck overlooking the water. Because six springs are on the property, we always have running water, even during a dry spell; however, water levels vary with the seasons and with the annual rain and snowfall. During spring and early summer, you can usually fish for brown trout along the Embudo River as well as enter the water on warm summer days. There is also good fishing nearby along the Rio Grande.

Centrally located.

From Dixon, access is easy to culturally rich Santa Fe (45 miles south), Abiquiu and Georgia O'Keefe country (39 miles southwest), Taos and Taos Pueblo (22 miles north), the hot springs at Ojo Caliiente, the museums at Los Alamos, and the High Road to Taos, along which is Truchas, the location for the film, The Milagro Beanfield Wars. For those who love the outdoors, walking and hiking, fishing for trout, rafting and kayaking the Rio Grande, exploring petroglyphs and Native American sites are all just minutes away.

The cottage

Exterior.

The cottage is nestled in a canyon and faces a multi-colored rock face on one side and on the other, trees and the river, and a hill covered in native, colorful plants. Through most seasons, you can hear the sound of the river from the cottage.

Right outside the house are two spots for relaxing: a long porch with benches out front and a patio area just outside the kitchen that has a table and several chairs. Although the owners live on the property, the two houses are separated by ample space and wood screens, which provide the privacy needed in the outdoor seating areas between the two houses.

Interior

The interior space is an open plan (living/dining/kitchen) with dramatic high ceilings and exposed timber beams throughout. The kitchen and bathroom (with shower) are new and fully equipped; the bathroom has quality towels and the bedroom, quality bedding. The bedroom is spacious and includes a king-size bed and full closet. A single (very comfortable) bed is located in a corner of the living area; an additional comfortable mattress can be made to accommodate an additional person, if needed.

Interaction with guests

My husband or I (Cedric and Kris) are usually home and always available to provide recommendations or answer any questions you have about the area. Please feel free to stop by any time--our door is always open. We are also sensitive to our guests' need for privacy and are non-intrusive. In the event we are away, our property manager will be available to help you with anything you need.

The Village of Dixon

We have three wineries close by: Chirapada, Vivac, and Black Mesa. Vivac is just a walk away. A brew pub is a 5 minute drive. In the area, we have art galleries and antiques stores. Our library received the National Medal for Museum and Library Service from the White House in 2015. Visit the library for their schedule of lectures and events. We are only 1/2 mile from the beautiful Rio Grande River (with white-water rafting companies) and about 20 minutes from the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument with sweeping vistas of the Rio Grande gorge and many hiking opportunities.

- "A beautiful relaxing getaway. We had everything we needed. They put a lot of work and detail into the house. I will forever remember this this place. ❤️" - "Our family stayed here for a week. This is one of the nicest places that we have stayed in. It was clean and quiet. the house is exactly as it’s shown in the pictures. We had fun wading in the river during the day and watching the stars at night. The house is at a great location. We visited Los Alamos, Santa Fe, Taos and Chimayo. Town of Dixon is just 1 mile from the house. They have a great little grocery store serving great Pizza and sandwiches. They also have organic spices, flour and grains. The kitchen has everything we needed plus a complete line of herbs and spices, sugar, rice, pasta and flour. They also provided tea, honey, butter, coffee and organic half and half. In the bathroom. You will find Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day hand soap. Full size Puracy shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Pottery Barn towels. Chris and Cedric are amazing hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. We love this place and definitely will stay here again when we visit New Mexico."

A fully remodeled 1100 square foot adobe home, with one large bedroom and a fully equipped kitchen, living room, bathroom with a walk in shower. Situated on the High Road to Taos in historic Truchas New Mexico. The large windows in the bedroom fully frame the view of the Truchas Peaks, which at 13,100 feet dominate the surrounding countryside. There is also an additional 400 foot covered portal for a relaxation during your breakfast dining or happy hour.

The adobe was fully remodeled 10 years ago with a new kitchen and bathroom - many of the old elements such as the vigas and adobe walls were retained. The casita is equipped with traditional details including hand carved furniture, plastered walls and wooden floors.

Solar panels have also been installed within the past 5 years to reduce our carbon footprint.

- "This is our 3rd stay, and we will be back next year. The house is beautiful and we love sitting on the patio watching light play on the mountains. The hosts are wonderful—thanks for fresh eggs! It’s an easy and lovely drive to Chimayo or even Taos and nice to retreat back into the quiet of this property." - "Beautiful, well maintained cabin perfect for a few days vacation. We loved the porch where we sat and watched the sky in the evening. It is a bit out there though so come prepared with whatever you will need."

Ice cold streams run through timbered mountains. Find your quiet space and enjoy the peace, clean air, dark, starry nights. Leave the mundane things of life behind and discover yourself, your own thoughts and feelings. The back yard is the main attraction for us at Mountain Cabin Retreat. The grass surrounding the creek, the bridge where we sat and dangled our feet in the cold mountain stream, imagining family gatherings around the campfire. The first step through the front door said, “Welcome home”. During our many years here, we have done a lot of remodeling. The quality workmanship is evident the moment you step through the entry door. The wood stove mesmerizes, lighting and warming the hardwood floor. The coved log ceiling beams, called vigas, reflect centuries old architecture. The quiet speaks of reflection on today, yesterday, and tomorrow, on life and purpose. The dark skies look back through millenniums of time and displays an eternity of celestial bodies. Yes, we warmly invite you to come and experience the alluring appeal of Mountain Cabin Retreat.
The 1400 sq. ft. make for a spacious 2-bedroom house. All rooms are large. The cozy, comfy living room has the wood stove with plenty of firewood. TV’s with ROKU, DVD and VCR players are in the living room and the Buffalo Room. The Buffalo Room also serves as an additional sleeping area.

The hummingbirds are a real attraction at the feeders on the deck.
Special note: bedroom 2 is accessed through master bedroom. Both have queen beds.
The Buffalo Room is on the opposite side of the house, making it quite private from the master bedroom and bedroom 2, and has a sofa bed, futon and a single bed.
No smoking is allowed in the house. Designated outside smoking areas are provided. The last 1 mile to the house is a gravel road that is well maintained by the county road department.

- "This property was close to the ski area. It was easy to find and very clean and welcoming. Instructions were easy to follow. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will be back!" - "The place is much roomer than the pictures. I love the layout of the place. The car port was nice since it snow on Saturday. My group really enjoy our stay. The host was always there when we needed them. I would definitely stay here again!" - "We booked last minute and everything went easy and smooth. Loved the place- especially the wood burning stove. House is well stocked and we really loved the welcome lemon cake. What a sweet gesture. Will definitely come again."

Enjoy modern southwest design in the newly renovated living spaces and plenty of hiking trails right outside your door—all just miles from shops, art galleries, and fine dining in Taos.

- "This was a great place to stay. Very clean. Beautiful surroundings. Only minutes from Taos center" - "This cabin was perfect for our visit to the area. It's close enough to town for eating and activities but far away enough to feel like you are in nature. The place is very clean and well stocked. Having the bedrooms on 3 floors allowed for privacy and space from each other. Recommend this place!" - "The cabin was very clean and the atmosphere was wonderful. Lots of space and comfortable. Additionally the owner was prompt when responding to questions. Definitely a unique experience as it’s out in the forest a bit which is scenic but yet still a short drive back into town. Quiet and spacious with many of the amenities of home. Would definitely consider staying here again in the future whenever back in the area. Tip - cellphone coverage for us was minimal at best so be sure to have the Wi-Fi info ready ahead of time. Once connected the Wi-Fi is fast and stable (we were able to steam movies)."

At the end of the county road is this very private and secluded guest casita that borders the 15,000 acre Truchas Land Grant. Views of the Rio Grande River Valley & Jemez Mountain range from the deck of the casita are breathtaking. Relax and unwind at this magical destination. Offering a range top and refrigerator, Toaster Oven, Kuerig coffeemaker and outdoor grill. Only one hour to Santa Fe or Taos. 40 minutes to Sipapu Skiing. Great hiking and photography. Nearby fishing opportunities. Your stay in Truchas will have you coming back year after year.
Please be reminded, one of our policies is "No Pets Allowed".
This small cabin (casita) is located in a very remote area of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range at 8000 elevation. We encounter field mice, rats, moles, chipmunks, squirrels, skunk, raccoons, bobcat, coyote, deer and elk, mountain lion and bears. We have seen all of these animals near and around our homes. We do contract with a local pest control company to help us mitigate the rodents and they conduct monthly checkups and bait the exterior and interior boxes.

- "We were very happy in the casita that is well equipped and has splendid viewswith quiet surroundings. Only one drawback was the poor quality of our sleep due to a very uncomfortable mattress. We were both so concerned about waking up with some back or hip pain that we decided to sleep each on one end of the bed across the width of the bed on the second night. My husband feet stood out but at least our respective body had more support and in turn we got more rest and avoided possible pain. We would like to suggest the owners to change the mattress to offer comfortable nights to guests. We would like to go back once the mattress is changed to a newer and firmer one. Otherwise, we appreciated all the other comfort included."

4400 sq. feet of northern New Mexico history and charm on 3 private acres. Our second family home is a secluded and modernized adobe villa with three gorgeous kiva fireplaces, vigas ceilings, beautiful tile work, chef's kitchen, and modern baths. Situated above the Taos Valley in the trees, Casa de la Mañana overlooks Taos, the Rio Grande Gorge, and the Sangre de Cristos mountains. Despite the seclusion, we are 10 minutes from Taos' services, restaurants, and historic square. 45 minutes from 3 different ski areas, 10 minutes from the Taos Country Club golf course, and minutes away from state and federal land for hiking, biking, river rafting, fly fishing, and outdoor pursuits.

- "Cozy and spacious. Very comfortabe and welcoming. Great views and great times." - "Awesome property, close proximity to everything but very private. Clean and exactly as described!" - "We stayed for five nights and had a very nice time. We came to Taos to ski and explore the area, and found this house a great home base. Although 15-20 min outside of town, the views from the house are great and make the commute in feel worth it. We skied as well, and the ~45 min drive to Taos Ski Valley was not bad at all. Final note on location - house is up a long dirt road and was covered in a few inches of snow when we arrived. We had AWD cars with good tires, so didn’t have an issue, but would take the advice to have AWD seriously if visiting in winter. The house itself was great! Very comfortable and well appointed - and large! Our group of 8 had more than enough space to spread out, and the multiple living and dining spaces made it especially easy. Main suggestion for improvement from our group was a hot tub to make taking in the view and relaxing after skiing even more enjoyable :) Communication with our hosts was easy and they were extremely responsive to concerns and questions. Definitely would stay again and recommend to others. Thanks Michael and Amy for a great stay!"

- "We had the best time and John was an awesome host. This was our first time working away from home and taking some time off to enjoy the area. John was attentive but not intrusive. Very respectful of our privacy and at the same time we wanted for nothing. He’s got it down! And talk about a perfect location - best views in Taos while being within easy distance of town. The second we walked in the door, it felt like it had been our home forever. Excellent place to unwind, work, or both. Looking forward to next year so we can do it all over again. Thanks a million for the great experience John!"

- "This was my first time renting and was better than expected." - "I didn’t see pictures of the outside so I was kind of wondering but once I came inside it was exactly like the pictures online!

Your family reunion, retreat group, youth function, or art tour attendees will be comfortable in the spacious 10 bedroom suites at the Truchas Peaks Place lodge, a 12,000 square foot facility. There are many spaces for group interaction as well as private space for quiet reflection after a day of skiing. Located on the High Road, State Road 76, midway between Santa Fe and Taos, Truchas Peaks Place is strategically situated for access to additional area attractions, whether that is gallery shopping, taking in the selection of fine dining, skiing, hiking, or visiting historical sites.

Truchas Peaks Place, located on the High Road to Taos, and nestled at the foot of the Truchas Peaks Mountains, is 45 minutes from either Santa Fe or Taos. Newly constructed, the spacious building melds traditional adobe architecture with the territorial pitched roof style for a southwest ambiance while indulging the visitor with modern amenities. Guests can easily travel State Road 76, a New Mexico Scenic Byway, to find Truchas Peaks Place both accessible and secluded. There are ten bedroom suites. Each suite has a queen size bed, luxury linens, writing tables. Six suites have private bathrooms, four of the suites share two bathrooms.

Providing the amenities of a fine hotel, Truchas Peaks Place is an ideal location for small retreats, conferences and workshops, or reunions and weddings. The bedroom accommodations are complemented by ample meeting rooms.

Book your accommodations at Truchas Peaks Place, then head north to Sipapu Ski Resort, a short 30 minute drive, to reach New Mexico’s family friendly ski area. Sipapu, with affordable lift ticket prices, usually opens before any other resort in New Mexico and has the longest ski season in the state.

Common spaces include a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, dining room, 3 sitting rooms and a large library all available for guests to share. A floor plan is available on our website. The entire structure has 12,000 square feet of space. Common areas and second floor suites have gas fireplaces.

Individual suites may be rented depending on availability.

Outside, are decks and portals for panoramic views of the Truchas Peaks, the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range, the Jemez Mountains and the Pedernal, made famous in the paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe.

Awake with the sun streaming in your windows; sit on decks or portals and breathe in fresh mountain air while your eyes are treated to magnificent views of the Truchas Peaks. Create your own private reprieve from traffic, congestion, crowds. Find your connection to the natural world through the serenade of birds by morning or the croak of frogs by evening. Be open to the surprise of a sudden rain shower or snow fall that unexpectedly makes way for pure clear blue skies to break through.

Just around the corner, you find the village of Truchas, settled in 1754 and still maintaining the link to its Hispanic heritage. Spanish is often spoken and the buildings are still constructed of adobe. There is a flourishing art community with numerous art galleries exhibiting contemporary art as well as regional arts, weaving and woodcraft.

Truchas Peaks Place provides a leisurely atmosphere, where you can use the space to structure your own getaway, making day trips to the attractions of Northern New Mexico or finding comfort in relaxing within a restful, rural setting.

- "This place was clean and cozy, with all the amenities you could need. Ms. Jean was extremely quick to respond and very helpful. And being only 40 minutes from the ski valley, it was very convenient for what we needed. 10/10" - "We loved this home and its location out of town. Jean is a wonderful understanding person and was readily available for communication with us for little details on our stay. The home is absolutely packed with top tier kitchen utensils and pots, pans, spices etc etc. Truly you probably only need ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise and any food you may want to prepare. Everything is brand new and nothing has been overlooked on details. Probably if I HAD to say anything for improvement would be more shelves to put our luggage on or more drawers for putting away. I must say though we stayed for 6 nights and had packed a lot for our 4 days of snow skiing in Angel Fire so we had packed quite a bit of clothes and gear. Overall the house and contents are new and it’s very comfortable. Can’t beat the price and privacy! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cozy retreat 👍"

Pilar is a tiny, quiet riverfront village 22 minutes and 15 miles south of Taos.

As our canyon has a back entrance that consists of epic plateau switch backs that are thrilling to drive and lead to thermal hot springs. There is shuttling available for river running, and many opportunities for biking, running, hiking and cruising. In front of the Yacht club is a public bus that runs to Taos and down to Santa Fe. Plus a airport bus shuttle bus through Taos Ski Valley. Disclaimer: This space is NOT for those with limited mobility or for children under the age of 4.

We are high altitude with good amount of sun exposure here so be mindful of skin and eye care. New Mexico is dry most of the time, except during monsoon season (July). Also this is a multi building property and I alone live onsite. Sometimes I am home and sometimes I am not. However you can always expect a private experience.

- "Amazing! Look forward to going back!" - "just absolutely lovely & we loved it so much stayed an extra two nights !!! a MUST natural beauty galore" - "My wife and I stayed 3 nights and greatly enjoyed the experience. The property wasn't just a place to stay after adventuring around the area, it was part of that adventure and the experience. My best advice to other travelers is to read all the info about the property before booking. Aspects of what makes this property unique may be out of the comfort zone of some. The owner does a great job of providing all info about the property in the listing so anyone booking should understand what to expect. If you are looking for something a little different, something truly local, something rustic yet not, I recommend this property."

- "Very cute, comfortable house in a convenient location. We came for ski weekend. Really recommend this location!" - "It is a historic home in a nice little town way up in the mountains. There is a small store, gas station, clinic, and a couple of restaurants within walking distance. We were visiting for a graduation, and the house is only a block away from the school. The house is obviously remodeled. The wifi was excellent, never had a problem with it. We enjoyed ourselves completely. "

This charming family- and dog-friendly adobe offers the best of both worlds - a secluded, quiet location in Ranchos De Taos combined with easy access to all of downtown Taos’ delights. Spend your days hiking nearby trails, perusing local art galleries, or just relaxing in one of the hammocks out back under the brilliant blue sky. In the winter, you’re an easy drive from several ski hills.

Grab some coffee and start the day on your wraparound porch, then step inside when hunger strikes. Saltillo tiles, rounded doorways, exposed beams, and a knotty-pine ceiling enhance the hacienda vibe throughout the home. The full, well-equipped kitchen makes meal prep a breeze, and there’s room for everyone at mealtime between the large dining table and breakfast bar.

Keep dinner simple on the gas grill and enjoy a family cookout at the picnic table, then spend the evening streaming the latest release or pop in a DVD from the movie library on hand. End the day with a board game or some foosball, or use the free WiFi to catch up on remote work at one of the dedicated workstations. Dreamy Taos days are waiting - all that’s left to do is book.

- "Roomy for all 6 of us traveling together. Great mountain NM experience awaybfrom the hustle and bustle." - "House was spacious. Fit everyone comfortably. Hosts were very nice and always able to get a hold of. 10/10 place to stay" - "We had an amazing four day stay for a large family reunion at the Truchas Peaks Place. Highlight was the huge library room upstairs. It made for fantastic evening gatherings for our family group of 42. Large well stocked kitchen, allowed for lots of people preparing food at once. The house is a maze of bedrooms so lots of configuration options. Danette was super responsive and ready to assist at all times with questions and the few problems we had. Great customer service! The area is also gorgeously located along the high road to Taos, with cool breezes and endlessly interesting towns and geography of northern New Mexico. Only two items for improvement: the ice maker/water in the Frig were both broken upon arrival. Should have been tested before we arrived. Kudos to Danette for delivering a supplement ice maker as soon as we notified her, and also bringing us bags of ice to make up for it. Also the dishwasher was unusable, and no one seemed to know how to connect and/or fix it. Danette actually offered to help wash our dishes. So the few equipment malfunctions were more than offset by the stellar customer service. Also, huge THANK YOU to the owner and managers for adding outdoor seating to the house at my request in advance, so we could have outdoor COVID-safe meals together. That was awesome. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely return again for future events. Thank you!!"

The location was perfect for our day trip to Sante Fe and to the Puye cliff dwellings." - "We were very pleased with the property we rented. It was very clean, quiet and exceeded our expectations.
