Mountain Cabin Retreat FAST WiFi, Ski Sipapu,Hike, Hunt,Fish,Art, Taos, Santa Fe

Huge deck with propane grill, table and chairs & hummingbird feeders. Backyard creek with hammocks, picnic tables, chairs, & fire pit.
Well stocked kitchen includes coffee maker w/ coffee, toaster, Keurig, blender, crock pot, electric skillet, mixer, food processor, ricer/steamer, citrus juicer, cake pans, muffin pans and cookie sheets. Refrigerator with ice maker.
Gas heat and wood stove with romantic glass doors. Plenty of firewood.
Lots of free strawberry plants.

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. There is also the opportunity for wildlife viewing from the Buffalo Room and the dining room. Many times we have seen elk, coyote, birds and more. 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.

Cozy stay close to Sipapu

We happened to hit a snowstorm just right and had a great weekend skiing at Sipapu. Our hosts had a nice cozy fire going for us when we got there, and they even gave us some tokens for discounts at one of the wineries nearby.One little piece of advice - cell service is pretty bad up there, so be sure to have the door code saved somewhere, because you may not be able to pull up the app. The wifi works great though, once you get in!

Great property with fantastic views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The space was large and well stocked with everything we needed. In addition, there were VCR and DVD players with a wide range of movies that came in handy after a long day spent skiing (in addition to streaming television access). Great location that offered a fantastic view. We will be staying again!

Great Getaway

Cute little house not too far from Sipapu and Taos. We had a group of 7 ppl and we all loved it. We got to see snowfall at the cabin and it was gorgeous, especially over the back yard. Everything was well stocked, we love having the washer and dryer and the wood stove was nice as well. There isn't a lot in the area so we cooked at the cabin a lot and the only thing we missed was a dishwasher. The host are awesome and readily available if you need anything. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Nice quite getaway

Went with my daughter and her 2 Boston Terriers. They have a really nice place by the creek with hammocks, a fire pit and it’s secluded so you can enjoy the sound of the creek and relax. Hosts were great, always checking with us and made us feel welcomed. There is a strawberry patch there and we were allowed to pick them and the host even brought us over some salsa she made which was super nice of her. Will definitely stay there again if I ever come back that way.

Perfect Mountain Home

We loved staying at Jim and Mari Lu's home in the mountains above Santa Fe. We came for the feast day celebrations at Picuris Pueblo, for the weaving in Chimayo, and for hiking in Bandolier National Monument, all of which are easy to access, as are Taos and Santa Fe, which gave us all kinds of options. The home is on a safe, quiet mountain road, with a lovely creek out back and hammocks we took full advantage of. It is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, the coffee machine is stocked, and the WiFi is strong. Jim and Mari Lu, who offered homemade salsa to welcome us, were the perfect hosts, unobtrusive but available when we needed them. The "neighborhood" is very quiet, and the night sky is an astronomer's dream. We look forward to returning.

Great place for a quick vaca. The house was peaceful serene situated next to a beautiful stream. That can be heard from the second floor window. Jim and Mari Lu were great hosts for showing me the ropes to VRBO and provided us with fresh salsa which is amazing. Thanks so much we definitely will stop again maybe for a longer stay.

Awesome hospitality!

We took our first ski trip last week and stayed here! There were 2 families of 4 that stayed very comfortably. The only draw back would be the 2 bedrooms are right next to each other, you have to walk through one bedroom to get to ther other. Our families have know each other for years so wasn’t a big deal. Jim and Mari Lu were amazing, answered all of our questions and brought over salsa, cookies and other stuff throughout our stay. Would recommend and we would stay again.

This place is amazing. It's got everything. I put most of the cooking supplies into use. The wood accents and special touches like 3 - 4 bird books right next to the sliding glass door to the deck and very nice sheets, and awesome shower and bathroom were great! If there was one thing I would add it would be another room with a toilet. My dad has Alzheimers and my mom - his primary caregiver - recently had a heart attack. I wanted them to have a memorable possibly last anniversary together. I was able to help my mom with my dad's nightly wanderings because of the attached bedroom to theirs.

Perfect place to relax!

We stayed for 6 peaceful, relaxing days. The temperature was perfect. Outside was chilly at night, which gave us the perfect excuse to make hot cocoa and "churros". We had plenty of things to do since the property is close to Taos, Chimayo, and the Santa Barbara hiking trails in the Carson National Forest. We enjoyed our walks there very much! There were flowers everywhere. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It had a very well equipped kitchen and the bathroom had many extras. It was a treat to watch the hummingbirds in the morning while enjoying our coffee in the deck. Mari Lu and Jim were always a phone call or email away for all our questions. This is the second time we have been there and we are already planning our next visit. Thank you, Mari Lu and Jim for sharing your house.

Very Lovely and Relaxing Stay

I rented this property with my wife and daughter for a week long get-away and very much enjoyed my time. The stream behind the house was, to me, the most enjoyable part. There is open green space on either side of the stream and they have a nice picnic area there. The hammocks were also a nice touch. Inside the house was also very nice. The kitchen had the essential cooking dishware for meals in-house and there was outside seating. There were labels in some locations to help us find our way around the various switches and such. They were nice to have when we first arrived until we got used to the place. The owners were very kind and engaging as well. Before we arrived Mari Lu called us and gave us a rundown of the local area (what to see, where to eat, attractions). This was helpful getting us started and made the trip more enjoyable. I would recommend this property for those looking for a relaxing weekend in the New Mexico Rocky Mountain Region.

Snowboarding trip

As I would love to rate this home 5 stars, I cannot. Cleanliness: We arrived well past check-in to find the couple cleaning. The toilet had not been cleaned among other things such as dishes in the sink. Being that they were in the home this made CHECK IN quite awkward, but simple. They were apologetic and left a bottle of wine. Listing accuracy: Everything is as pictured, however I wish I'd known the 2 bedrooms are conjoined and there is not much privacy as you must go into ones room to get to the bathroom. I feel that this is important information. Communication: there was over communication in the sense that the home owners popped in and out randomly which made me very uncomfortable and was a complete invasion of privacy. Cake was brough while we were in the middle of dinner at the table which was sweet but it felt like more like we were being watched. They also came by while we were gone during the day. Its obvious they stay nearby. THis information needs to be listed and I would have NOT stayed in this home. We texted to ask if there was a way to watch the playoff football game that evening with no response. So, if you plan to watch an event expect to watch from your phone as there is no tv options that we could figure out and zero cell service. The location is off the path a bit, trust the maps would be my advice. Overall, the home is very spacious. The wood burning fire was nice. The oven shoots flames if you use the broil feature. The couple was nice.

Dirt road to quiet and privacy. Cool evenings . About 45 minutes to Taos which has great food and the Taos Cow. Wife loves the shopping (e.g.Moxie). Josey had a fenced yard and a creek to splash in. We have multiple stays here and the owners have become like family.

Great vacation!

2nd stay this summer and we loved it. Great property. MariLu and Jim are super hosts. Great Wi-Fi - streaming worked great so we could keep up with Astros. Our dog enjoyed fenced area for dogs to move around and daily trips to the creek behind the house. Very relaxing vacation. We love the new comfortable couch. Great kitchen! Loved the deck and carport. If your lucky, MariLu and Jim might bring you some homemade salsa. Already planning for next summer.
