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 ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31910000/31908600/31908584/7f36299b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lavishly Remodeled House With Spectacular Views Northeast Heights - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 180 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-30&endDate=2025-10-31&selected=31908584&PinnedHotelID=31908584&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39880000/39870600/39870593/9da901bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 🌄4000ft Modern Retreat🏊‍♂️Pool♨️Hot Tub🧳Sleeps 18 & Mountain Views Albuquerque - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.0 Wonderful 46 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-30&endDate=2025-10-31&selected=39870593&PinnedHotelID=39870593&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68070000/68062300/68062299/96729e89.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa Cascada - 6 BR - Game Room - Huge Pool - Sleeps 21!
