  I am a graduate student, and my friends and I came up here for a weekend during spring break. It was great to get away from the city and from schoolwork. That location was nice and accessible for hiking, and the cabin was perfect (lots of amenities, space, and privacy). We had a great time!

  The owner was friendly and very accommodating (he turned on the power, etc. before we arrived). The cabin was spacious and very comfortable. It felt like being at home! If we forgot something, it seemed as if that was not a problem—we made do with what was available. It was convenient to what we wanted to explore, so it made a perfect home base. We would definitely consider renting this cabin again and would highly recommend it to others. Thank you for making this available to people like us who were looking for something a little different for a family vacation for five adults! P. S. We enjoyed watching three to four bluejays enjoy their treats near the driveway.

  We had a great time! The was not only beautiful but very clean and the location was very serene. We enjoyed our coffee and wine on the front porch as we watched the local wildlife. The cabin easily accommodates large families. We had eight in our party (two families). The kids enjoyed the location and to their delight they/we could access Netflix. The owners were gracious to leave DVD's, books, playing card and info pertaining to the surrounding area. The location is perfect for trekking to the Springs, Caldera, Los Alamos, etc.. We were surprised and pleased to find the kitchen well stocked. It has a crock pot, electric skillet, cookie sheets, coffee maker and grinder, and a mircrowave. There are plenty of dishes and utensils. I never had to pull mine utensils out, with the exception of a rolling pin. We were also delighted to find that there was a few itmes left in the cupboards to use, such a flour, sugar and some spice. This can be very handy if your forgot some items. The location of the cabin is on a slight hill, so a 4-wheel drive is helpful! I was able to get up the driveway without 4-wheel drive in a Toyota SUV. I had to give is some gas to climb the hill, but GO STRAIGHT UP! Do not try the other entrance without 4-wheel drive you may get stuck! For sleeping accomodations there is a king size bed that was very comfortable! One room holds a double bed. The other room has bunk beds (3 beds), and on the loft their is a single bed. There is also a computer on the loft. We brought our laptops and had no problems accessing the internet. We had an awesome stay and would like to thank the Foott family for opening their vacation home to us for our use! Heath Foott was great about answering any questions we had. We would definitely stay their again! Two thumbs up!!!! The Sanchez's and the Rosario's

  We had the greatest time! The home is clean and well maintained. The weather was perfect, we didn't want to leave. We loved watching the humming birds on the porch while drinking our coffee. We can't wait to go back. And we won't forget to mention that the owner is friendly and willing to answer any crazy question we had.  Not a far drive from fishing and hiking, enjoyed every moment. The pictures discribe the cabin perfectly! The Jaramillo's

  Our vacation was great with the home away rental. Everything Was just the way it was described. Plenty of space for the eight of us. The Kitchen was well equipped. View from porch awesome. Our owner very friendly and willing to answer questions ahead of time. We found fish hatchery for the kids to fish and took road excursion to hot springs. Having a suv or truck would be helpful because there are plenty of up and down roads. I would definitely consider usiing this house again and home away rentals.

  I had a wonderful time in this cabin. Beautiful views and lots of wildlife around -- I saw a coyote one morning, and two giant elk right down the road. Very comfortable and the house and property are well cared for. Quiet and peaceful. I'll stay here again.

  This hidden cabin near the national forest is a true treasure to behold. It is very nicely sized for a family (could have easily held more people). We had room to breathe even when all inside, unlike so many other vacation rentals where you are on top of each other. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to cook all your own meals, the table was huge, everything inside was spotless. There is even a washer and dryer so no need to worry if the kids find a good dirty spot to play in. The wood heater worked great and really helped warm the place on the chilly nights. We had a truly delightful time hiking up and down the roads, looking at the views from the porch and just relaxing in nature. Come on up and enjoy a great time if you love the outdoors. We might just come back another time, it was that great. The Brinsons

  Beautiful, comfortable, spacious, and quiet. Beautiful view from every directions. Well insulated. Master bedroom has a king bed. The loft has a bed and computer station. 2nd bedroom has a full bed. The 3rd has awesome 3 stacked bunk beds w/a T.V./DVD player. The kitchen is long and narrow. It has a big laundry room. Huge table that seats 8. A HUGE, fun bean bag type sac in the living room. Even in the snow the limited walks we took were very nice. There is a little store about 8 miles away. We will definitely be back.
