Please step in and allow it to bring you peace and tranquility during your stay. We are only minutes from Albuquerque, but it feels like a world away. The home is completely off-grid and built with a thousand sustainable elements in mind. If you're interested in sustainable building ... I would be more than happy to share the story of its design and construction with you. And if you just want to zen out ... endless peace, quiet, and spectacular views greet you at every turn and in every moment. Wonderful for retreats and gatherings of any kind. Please just be open to being mindful of the space and the resources. :) If there are less than 8 individuals in your party, contact me, and I may be able to provide you with a slightly lower custom rate. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 7 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Outdoor shower - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Gym - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 5,500 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111990000/111983000/111982990/2114b2aa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful and fun 5 bedroom house with a hot tub, arcade games and lots of room.

Rebekah has created something beautiful and we were thrilled to be one of the first guests. Absolutely beautiful and serene surroundings- inside and out. Comfortable and modern design, luxurious mattresses and bedding and so communicative with us prior and throughout our stay. The house is located in the National Forest just off of the paved road. Make sure you give yourself time to navigate down the mountain. ##### Tara M.
