The relaxing portal (front porch) faces the mountains to the west.
Great room, kitchen, dining, cathedral ceiling - ample yet efficient space.
Modern viewing, but subtle - redwood top with manzanita trunk - an original!
The area around the Santuario is worth the visit.

La Lomita was everything and more! This is a lovely house with personal touches that felt more like staying with friends than staying in a rental. The convenient location was ideal for us and the recommendations for food and activities were spot on! The property manager stayed in contact with us and responded immediately to any questions we had. I am already planning my next trip to the area and will most definitely stay here!

Host gave us all the info we needed and allowed us to check in a few hours early. House backed up to desert mountains which were beautiful and still was very easily accessable. Everything in the house worked perfect and was as advertised. Rise and I agree that it was one of the best vacation rentals ever.

Wonderful stay!!!

We had a fabulous stay!!! The house was perfect and had everything we needed and more! Watching the sunset from the porch was a favorite evening activity…far enough out of town to feel secluded in this private-gated community but close enough to everything for easy access. Highly recommend this property!

This is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. I can’t say enough about this house. There is art everywhere, impeccable cleanliness, awe-inspiring views…every corner of this place is aesthetically perfect. Cannot recommend La Lomita highly enough.

Wow, Sandy, your wonderful review is very specific and appreciated. Being from the north east and midwest, southwest art has been attractive to us, including of course, the style of southwest adobe building to match the spiritual atmosphere. Thank you very much for booking with us and for such delightful comments. Please come again. Carl and Gretchen Valdez

A quiet place to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Loved this place. Quiet and serene. Especially loved the mornings watching the sun rise. The cabin was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked. I would highly recommend this place and would stay again if in this area.

Welcome rest

What a beautiful spot to spend time recuperating from 2020! This home was cozy and perfectly nestled in the New Mexico landscape.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Jan 2021
Gabrielle, I love your words "perfectly nestled in the New Mexico landscape," because when we imagined it 23 years ago, it took a while to come up with a design and where/how we would place the house. "Nestled" was not the word we used, but the idea sure was in order to make it blend into the natural feel of the environment. Thank you!

The host was great! Took great care of us. The cabin was immaculate and very well stocked. Very comfortable and spacious. The views were really spectacular. Mountains, rock formations, birds, cactus, sunsets, sunrises, and a beautiful patio to enjoy it all on!! My teen boys even loved it!The kitchen is well stocked and very spacious. We all loved that it felt secluded but there are a lot of things to do nearby. We hope to visit again.Thanks for making it available to enjoy.
