  My husband, our two children, and I were fortunate to stay at this quaint and charming cabin in the woods. It was one of the most special vacations we have enjoyed as a family. The rustle of the wind through the mountains and pines sounded similar to the ocean, but the peace and quiet was enveloping and transported me away from the pressures of the daily grind. I felt a true sense of calm while we were there. We could hear the river rushing below. We could see the stars at night. It was serene. Just a wonderful vacation spot. We hope to return.

  Owner response: Thank you so much. I am so happy that you enjoyed the peace of the site and the quaintness of the cabin. I feel that it is really a special place and I love it when my visitors feel the same way.

  Two friends and I rented the cabin for a girls-only week in July. We liked the idea of getting away from computers and TV for a week, but didn't want to be too isolated or forego all modern conveniences. This cabin really fit the bill. It is cozy and comfortable, with just the right amount of rustic. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom had a good shower with plenty of hot water and water pressure. The kitchen was perfectly adequate for the amount of cooking we wanted to do and it had a decent-sized fridge. We spent most of our time outside on the deck or flagstone patio. Someone brought a small hummingbird feeder and in no time there was a constant stream of hummers at our doorstep. The stars at night were unbelievable. The cabin's location was also perfect. Secluded in its own private pine forest, it was great for relaxing, but when we wanted more to do there were plenty of varied activities nearby. The Pueblo ruins at the nearby Pecos National Park were fascinating and several different guided tours are offered (check their website). We made advance reservations for a tour of the Forked Lightning Ranch House, which was once owned by Greer Garson and her husband and is now part of the Park. The scenery on the road up to Cowles is gorgeous and there are numerous places to hike and fish along it. Santa Fe was only 30 minutes or so away and in addition to the usual shopping, gallery exploring and dining there, we really enjoyed the Saturday morning Farmers' Market. We did another day trip to Las Vegas (New Mexico), which has interesting history, architecture and a beautifully restored historic hotel, the Plaza. All in all, the cabin provided the perfect spot for a fun, relaxing getaway that we'll long remember. The rental logistics were extremely easy. The owner, Laurenn, always replied to email inquires very promptly and coordinating with the manager, Amanda, for check-in was simple. Amanda also called a couple of days into our stay to make sure everything was OK and see if we had any questions.

  Owner response: Thank you so much for your very thoughtful review. You give visitors very valuable information about things to do in area. I am glad that you enjoyed, not only the cabin, but also the area around the cabin. This is why I bought the cabin and I love sharing it.

  What a perfect place to beat the heat and get in touch with all things natural. Located high in the tree line with nothing but pines and cedars as neighbors, it was exactly what we needed. The loft upstairs was great for the kids. Easy access to hiking, fishing and just general exploring plus a short and pretty drive into Santa Fe for the day. We didn't want to come home. We'll be back! -Tucson family

  Owner response: Thank you so much for your review. I am really glad that you enjoyed your stay. Sincerely, Laurenn, owner

  Spring Break at "The Cabin" was wonderful. Cabin is cozy and has everything you need to feel at home. Kids loved the fire pit, roasted marshmallows of course, did some exploring and fishing. Highly recomend visiting the Pecos Pueblo Ruins. Thanks for sharing your Cabin Laurenn.

  Owner response: Thank you so much for your comments. I am very happy that you and your family liked the cabin and found it to be a nice family "getaway". As a homeowner, I am always happy when my vacationers enjoy themselves. Please come again!

  We have just returned from New Mexico, which is experiencing devastating fires. We had arranged to rent this cabin for 3 days during our stay. Things were changing rapidly regarding the fires and ultimately we were unable to access the cabin as authorities were only letting in local residents with ID; all trails and some roads in the area remain completely closed to the public. We found this out a bit late, unfortunately, and had to scramble for alternate accomodations, but this was a fast moving and completely unprecedented situation. We were able to reach the property owner by phone (on a holiday weekend!) and she graciously returned our funds and offered her caretaker as contact to help us find alternate accomodations. While inconvenient for us, this situation was most devastating to residents and property owners in the area and this owner's response was just what one would hope and expect. I would not hesitate to make a reservation for this property again in the future.

  Owner response: Thank you for your thoughtful review. The canyon was closed down as a precaution because firefighters were occupied fighting fires elsewhere in New Mexico over the 4th of July holiday and they did not want to risk any fires starting in the Pecos area. Neither the cabin nor the site was damaged as a result of the fires.

  My husband, parents, dog and I went up to this wonderful cabin for a two-day getaway and we could not have been happier. We truly couldn't have hoped for a cozier, cleaner, woodsier get-away. We relaxed in the cabin and read, made campfires outside, walked around the area and spent time at the river, etc. Laurenn was wonderful and Amanda (the care-taker) was super sweet and helpful. Thank you and we definitely hope to be back!
