It is situated on a mountain range of pine forests with spectacular views. Entering brings you to another time and presents a serene and inspiring atmosphere for all. The house and grounds of more than 20 acres offer abundant locations for quiet time. There are numerous hiking & mountain bike trails immediately accessible, some of which take you directly to the center of Santa Fe. Ski Santa Fe is 30 minutes from the center of Santa Fe, just add ten minutes to that to get there from Rass Mandal. Rass Mandal was featured on HGTV's House Hunter's on Vacation with the initial airing on June 22nd 2012 and on Thrillist in March 2019. Upon entering the home you encounter a large domed circular living room (Mandala Room) complete with a gas-fired fireplace, eastern antique furniture and beautiful views looking out to a pool. This space is ideal for group sessions, gatherings and entertainment. Off to the left of the living room is the dining room and kitchen area. The dining table has room to accommodate 12 and is a great area for entertaining and formal meals. The kitchen is open plan and has a Moroccan style wood-burning fireplace and a very comfortable breakfast nook ideal for bird watching. Behind the kitchen is a King size bedroom and a bathroom, secluded from the rest of the house with its own private entrance. To the right of the living room are guest quarters, each room offers views overlooking the grounds and the entire Santa Fe valley. The master bedroom is complete with a large meditation/work area, beautiful bathroom and sunken Jacuzzi with views. Additionally, there is a 2nd story observation deck that provides expansive views over all of Santa Fe, the Jemez Mountains and beyond. Although the house is not air conditioned, there are ceiling fans in every bedroom. However, given the cool evenings AC it is not actually necessary. Heading outside, there is a large private pool, jacuzzi style 5 person hot tub, plunge pool and sauna. The pool (40,000 gallons) is heated from May 15th to September 15th and generally the pool water temperature will be maintained at approximately 78 - 85 F throughout the heated season. Depending on weather, this may be extended by one - two weeks on either side. We have invested in renewable Solar Technology for heating the home and the pool thus keeping our environmental footprint to a minimum. As the pool is heated with solar, it is continually heated however with the cool nights the range mentioned is what should be expected. The hot tub is kept at 104 F all year-round. All this is surrounded by a deck and patio ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. There is also a gas-fired Fire Pit for enjoyment during the cool evenings. Burn restrictions imposed by Santa Fe County may sometimes restrict its use. Additionally, there is a small cabin on the property about 150 feet from the main home that is included in the rental. The cabin has a queen bed and a bathroom (with a shower) plus a TV. There is a small fee for the number of guests exceeding ten. I must reiterate that Rass Mandal accommodates a maximum of 12 people given the above bedroom configuration and we do not permit any more than that number without prior agreement from me (Richard). This limit also applies to 'guests' even visiting for just the day and not residing at Rass Mandal. Should you be planning on inviting a few guests to visit, please discuss it with me before you book Rass Mandal. Rass Mandal provides a truly unique experience in Santa Fe. It's incredible architecture, shapes, and spaces transport one to ancient India yet with all the modern conveniences in an amazingly beautiful location high in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains above the city with spectacular views.

Name “Rass Mandal” “Rass Mandal” (also written Raas Mandal or Rasa Mandala) refers to a sacred circular formation connected with Lord Krishna’s Raas Leela — the divine dance with Radha and the Gopis. Meaning: Rass/Raas = the divine dance of Krishna Mandal = circle or sacred geometric space Spiritual Significance Represents the cosmic dance of creation, love, and unity. Symbolizes the idea that the divine is at the center of all life. Often used in temple art, paintings, and devotional rituals. Here are the two main contexts in which the term is used: 1\. In Hindu Spiritual Tradition A Rass Mandal (or Raas Mandal) refers to the circular formation in which Krishna performed the Raas Leela with Radha and the Gopis. Key points: Represents divine cosmic dance symbolizing love, unity, and devotion. The circular formation signifies the eternity and wholeness of the spiritual universe. Temples, paintings, and festivals often depict the Raas Mandal as a sacred geometric pattern. Associated especially with Vrindavan and Braj. 2\. As a Place / Structure (e.g., Rass Mandal Retreat, Rishikesh) In modern usage, “Rass Mandal” can also refer to: A circular structure or open-air platform designed for meditation, yoga, and spiritual retreats. Named after the traditional concept to evoke peace and spirituality. One well-known example is Rass Mandal in Rishikesh, a retreat built on a hilltop offering panoramic Himalayan views. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Hot tub - Outdoor pool - Private pool - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Car required - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 accessible parking spaces - No elevator - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Dispose of butts appropriately!

I was there with 10 of my closest friends for a fun, restful, intentional "bachelorette" weekend before my wedding in a month, and we couldn't have asked for a better space. From the common spaces, pool, hot tub, observation deck, soft lights, art, sound system, cushions, couches - EVERYTHING! We were also able to use the yoga shala with Keisha based on Richard's recommendation who was amazing. Rass Mandal is and was so above my expectations and imaginations, and the best house I have ever stayed at over a weekend. ##### Judy P. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### pat s.

A unique place that had a wonderful atmosphere. It was very comfortable and had so many amenities. Richard also thought of everything. I've never stayed at a place where the kitchen was so well stocked! The printed guides that he had waiting for us were also so helpful. The grounds are beautiful. The sound of the wind chimes as the breeze blew through was so relaxing. I would enthusiastically stay at Rass Mandal again the next time I am in Santa Fe. I and my family had a wonderful time. ##### Ramana Y.

Gorgeous views from the deck and pool areas makes it a vacation in itself. I brought 7 ladies from across the country for a business event. They were impressed with all the details and comfort the house provided. Highly recommend!!! The owner was amazing as well! ##### Cindy R.

Richard could not have been a better host. Our family had room to spread out with privacy, but also get together for meals or pool time. The house was well stocked with more than enough supplies for everyone. Would definitely go back! ##### Lori S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Norman G.

Rass Mandal is unique and the owner/caretaker is fantastic and has great stories and history to share pertaining to the property. I highly recommend this place! ##### Norman G.

Jun 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for an extended family gathering This was a great location for us to bring together four families for a week long vacation. With a large family, space for each to do their own thing was a necessity. Rass Mandal was great for this with the short walks around the property, the yoga pavilion, pool and all the unique nooks in the residence to explore. ##### Helen P.
