View of Georgia O'Keefe's flat topped mountain called "Los Pedernal"
Location: Abiquiu, New Mexico, USA (Major Airport - Albuquerque, NM)
Accommodations: Guest House, 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description), 1 Bath (Sleeps 1-4)
We're located just outside of Abiquiu in Prado Valley Ranch on 7 1/2 acres, on the edge of a mesa with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains, especially "The Pedernal", which is the famous flat-topped mountain that Georgia O'Keefe painted while living at Ghost Ranch, (which is located only a quick drive away). Georgia O'Keefe's house is open for tours in the summer months. Also, Abiquiu Lake is located only a short drive away and the Mineral Springs at Ojo Caliente is quite close, only a few minutes down the road. You can, also, drive up to Chama, NM to ride on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railway that takes you up into Colorado. Bode's gas station/deli/grocery store is in the center of Abiquiu for your convenience. There are restaurants close by for your eating out pleasure and also, the New Mexican Cuisine is on the menus of many.
The Guest Casita actually has 2 bedrooms, one downstairs with a Queen bed, which sleeps 2 adults comfortably, and a small attic bedroom which sleeps 2 adults or 2 children. The attic has a twin daybed, a roll-a-way bed and also a Queen air mattress with an attic ladder/stairs that pulls down and is quite easy to climb. A screened-in porch is on the front of the house which is a great place for drinking your coffee/tea in the cool mornings and taking in the great views of the mountains that surround us,and there's also a patio area in the rear of the house with a table and 4 chairs for watching the breathtaking sunsets. It also has a gas grill for your cooking out experience. And when the sun goes down you can witness the most beautiful star-studded nights of your life, shooting stars no exception. We also have a wonderful walking/biking/horseback riding road that encircles the mesa.
There's a RV hook-up next to the casita if you are traveling in one, you can park it here, but only if you're renting the casita too. Email for rates if you should want to hook up your RV. CHECK IN TIME is 3:00 PM and CHECK OUT TIME is 10:00 AM, but if no one is renting the Casita on your check out day, you could check out at 12:00 AM.
There is so much to do in or near Abiquiu and we have a great vacation get-away for you for a week, a weekend or a month or even longer. So, come on up on the mesa.!!!!!!!
