Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Abiquiu
We decided we needed more wide open space and discovered Abiquiu! We bought our Northern New Mexico style Pitched Tin Roof home in Abiquiu, January 2006. We remodeled the North Wing of our home and converted it to a Vacation Rental Casita. Our occupancy rate has been 90%-100% each month ever since! We enjoy the company our American Paint Mare "Valentine" and our 2 Llamas "Cusco" and "Cinder". In addition to our 2 Jack Russell Terriers, "Maddie and Spicy" and our Cardigan Corgi named "Soloman - a.k.a. "Sully and our 2 indoor Cats "Pumpkin and Annie". For those of your with allergies, the Horse and Llama Barn is located downwind 1000 feet from the Casita. Our friendly dogs are only allowed in the common areas if invited by the guests. We are all quiet and keep a very low profile and are around only when you need us. We hope to add to our menagerie soon to include Alpacas and a few miniature donkeys and horses and plans to build another Casita soon!
We both enjoy travel, cooking, wine and our Horse, Llamas and Pets. Jeff likes to Ski in winter and Sail in other places than New Mexico in summer!
We enjoy meeting the wonderful people that have visited and many that have revisited from all around the country and some from other countries that have stayed at our Casita de Chuparosa here in Abiquiu!
We look forward to your stay!

About us - Your hosts Jeff & Marilyn. We relocated to New Mexico 7 years ago from Northern California. Marilyn worked for TWA and operated a corporate travel agency in Los Angeles for 25 years. Born & Raised in Southern California and lived in the South Bay cities of Manhattan Beach & Rolling Hills. Marilyn also kept busy raising and breeding Arabian horses. Prior to Abiquiu, Marilyn lived 15 years at Sea Ranch on the rugged Northern California Coastline and in the Sierra Foothills at the Equestrian community of Cool in Eldorado County. Son Jeff raised in Manhattan Beach and Rolling Hills, Ca. Relocated to Santa Barbara & attended U.C.S.B. Moved on to Davis, Ca. where he attended the U.C. Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Jeff changed professions and worked for several commuter airlines in Santa Barbara and Qantas Airways in San Francisco & Air New Zealand in Los Angeles. Jeff also lived at Sea Ranch and owned and operated an Ocean & River Kayaking Outfitters, lessons, tour & Rental shop in Gualala on the Mendocino coast. He sold the business to become involved in Hotel and Restaurant management, decided to get well rounded in the profession and went on to be a Chef. He attended The Culinary Academy in San Francisco and worked in many well known restaurants in San Francisco and Maui, Hawaii. Jeff was an avid Sailor on the San Francisco bay and owned several sailboats, for which one he lived on. He traded in his life on the water, for a life in the high desert.
