75 min. North of Santa Fe, Abiquiu Lake Casita is far from highways and noise--except for the sounds of birds.

Our new 900 square foot "casita" (little house) is set high on a mesa overlooking Abiquiu Lake and the red cliffs of Ghost Ranch, where Georgia O'Keeffe lived and painted. We're located in an area called Piedra Lumbre, or Shining Stone; you reach the area by taking Hwy. 84 past Abiquiu for six miles, then turning onto Highway 96 toward the Jemez mountains, the turnoff for Abiquiu Lake. The casita is set one and a half miles above Abiquiu Lake.

To take advantage of the incredibly long and wide-open views down valleys in all directions, we have built two "portales" (porches), one on the north and one on the south sides of the casita, so you can sit on the north side and gaze down the valley and over the lake to see the red cliffs, or you can bask in the warmth of the sun on the shaded southern portal, as you look across valleys towards the surrounding Jemez Mountains and Cerro Pedernal, the 10,000-foot, flat-topped mountain that O'Keeffe loved to paint and the Native Americans regarded as a spiritual site. Since there are no city lights to compete, sunsets, sunrises, and the endless stars at night are spectacular from both porches - especially from the outdoor Hot Tub.
NOTE We live in Santa Fe and are available to our guests, almost by the hour.
PS: WE ARE CONSTRUCTING A TWO-BEDROOM CASITA ON THE NEXT MESA NORTH WITH BEAUTIFUL VIEWS OF THE CHAMA AND PUERCO RIVER ESTUARIES, THE RED CLIFFS & PEDERNAL. "RIVER BEND CASITA at ABIQUIU LAKE." WE ARE TAKING RESERVATIONS NOW BEGINNING AUGUST 2008. SEE LAST PHOTO FOR VIEW. WE ARE UPDATING PHOTOS WEEKLY AND WILL HAVE FINAL PHOTOS BY THIRD WEEK OF JULY.
