About The Owner

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We did arrive in the area about 15 minutes after dark (Elizabeth had cautioned about that, but one of us in our party wanted to continue visiting with an old friend; not such a good idea! The little dirt roads and turns are difficult for newbies in the dark.) Elizabeth came to get us and guide us in and was most gracious about it. The entire setting was enchanting! The cabin is small but very comfy for two. We were pleased to see authentic furnishings inside, but an updated shower, too, a working stove and oven, a frig, a coffee pot, soft, warm, comfy bedding and a Franklin stove to make a toasty home on very cool evenings! Elizabeth and Eric were warm and fascinating hosts! We sought out their company several times, which was an unexpected bonus! Solar panels, profuse flower gardens surrounding, a puppy, a porch with comfy chairs and a candle lantern on the table near-by inviting us for chats, quiet times, and star-gazing, subtle wind chimes, no chemicals around inside or out, a covered picnic table was site for breakfast, hand-made fences, old-timey farm equipment hanging about from days gone by, a firepit with benches surrounding, chickens laying fresh eggs, a working organic goji berry farm, apple trees and vegie garden, a secluded trail to hike that led deep into a Ponderosa pine forest with a clear, cool stream, young folks putting in time to help things run in exchange for a place to stay. The valley surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Quiet. Clean, crisp air. The peace was perfect. Thank you so very much, Elizabeth and Eric!! We hope to return again and again!

Beautiful, peaceful location. Great hiking nearby, short drive to Taos. Sia was very welcoming. Would love to go back someday.

During my five day stay in the cabin, I was reminded many times of childhood experiences in my parents log cabin in the Maryland woods. The quiet nights, dusty dirt roads, well water, bird songs, buzzing insects, and even a mouse. I was invited to gather salad greens in the garden and given eggs for breakfast. Everyone was very friendly but gave me space to enjoy much needed solitude. The only drawback to staying here was the time required to drive to destinations on my itinerary. The hot springs at Ojo Caliente were an hour and half drive. Los Alamos was two hours away. Abiquiu, Georgia O'Keeffe's home, was another two hours. Still, it was worth driving the distance in order to enjoy my peaceful little cabin. Fittingly, I reread Lady Chatterley's Lover during the TV free nights.

From the first communication, I felt welcome and cared for. Just the right amount of attention, knowledge of the surrounding area, and space to explore.

Wonderful place. Nice people. Can't wait to get back.
