The second suite is automatically added for parties of 3-4\. Should parties of 2 want both suites, book for 3\. You will be the only guests during your booking. Dobson House sits high on a hill ringed by mountains overlooking the Rio Grande Gorge. The two suites occupy the entire lower level and connect to the magnificent living room and gourmet commercial kitchen via a grand underground staircase. Each adobe and Mexican-tiled suite has gorgeous views, a private patio, queen bed, sitting area, bathroom, mini fridge, microwave, and coffee and tea service. The massive gourmet commercial kitchen and living room are yours to use. Dine with gorgeous views. Hike, bike, or snowshoe beautiful trails. The rim of the gorge, where you'll find breathtaking views of the canyon and Rio Grande 800-feet below, is a 10-minute hike from your door. Mineral-rich hot springs are a hike away. Gorgeous sunsets and starry skies await. This exquisite 6,500-square-foot earthship requires a caretaker and my sweet dog, Ruby, and I are on premises to ensure your experience is exceptional. Wonderfully off the beaten path, vehicles with AWD or 4WD and good clearance are necessary in inclement weather. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Downhill skiing nearby -
