River Farm Guest Casita amidst lots of green, hot tub on the patio
Location: Abiquiu, New Mexico, USA (Near Abiquiu - 55 min to Santa Fe - 1 hr 50 min. to Airport)
Accommodations: Small House, 1 Bedroom + Loft, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-3)
Part of a lovely organic farm along the Chama River in Medanales, neighboring Abiquiu. The casita sleeps two comfortably in the bedroom with queen size bed and can accomodate an additional child or adult in the loft. The cozy casita has a small living/kitchen area, a full bathroom with Mexican tile, and a separate bedroom. The loft is accessed through the bedroom.
The casita is screened from the main house and is oriented toward the gardens and fields. The flagstone patio with private hot tub and chimenea borders the acequia and looks out over farmland and down to the cottonwood trees bordering the river. A small bridge leads across the acequia toward the vebetable garden. Guests are invited to enjoy seasonal produce.
You can also walk the farm down to the Chama and enjoy the peacefulness of the river from the swinging loveseat in the screened gazebo.
Nearby the farm, hiking and riding trails lead to BLM and National Forest lands offering a variety of landscapes to enjoy -- vast open mesas, arroyos to explore, pine forests, mountain vistas. Also nearby are the ruins of little-known old Indian settlements. Ojo Caliente with its fabled hot springs and spa facilities is a short drive from the farm.
Medanales is a small village with a Hispanic population and tradition just south of Abiquiu of Georgia O’Keeffe fame. The landscape varies from pastures to badlands, with the magic Cerro Pedernal and Sierra Negra on the horizon. Both can be climbed by the more experienced hiker.
Ghost Ranch and the wide and splendidly colored Piedra Lumbre basin are nearby, as is Plaza Blanca with its white sandstone formations. Espanola, the main town in this predominantly Hispanic area, is 15 minutes away. Quite a few interesting restaurants that serve local cuisine (with red or green chili!) can be found here.
