About this property

Rustic Cabin, XL Covered Decks w/Firepits, Hot Tub, Fast Wifi,2 Firepl w/Wood

Come and stay in "Elk Glade" in Angel Fire, New Mexico! Elk Glade is a luxurious mountain home complete with all the amenities you love and the look and feel you expect from a classic mountain getaway. Unwind in the hot tub, or in front of the beautiful stone fireplace, enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail on the massive covered back deck, or head down to the backyard and build a fire in the fire pit. All this and so much more is waiting for you, with valley views a abundant wildlife to boot.

This house is part of the Mountain Serenity Rentals group, an elite group of family-owned properties providing the absolute best of what Angel Fire has to offer. Mountain Serenity Rentals is a small but mighty team started by husband and wife duo Eric and Cheryl in 2006. What began with one house and a small dream has since grown into our true passion: offering families from all over the opportunity to make memories in the mountains in beautiful, clean, up-to-date, and well-maintained homes. At Mountain Serenity Rentals, we intentionally market only a handful of properties so we can provide the highest level of service. We believe you deserve all the things you need for a great stay, and don’t want to nickle and dime you for them. Our homes are stocked with firewood for fireplaces and fire pits, propane for gas grills, detergent for laundry machines, and all the basics for kitchens and bathrooms. If you are ever missing something during your stay, don’t hesitate to reach out! We have gathered a tremendous amount of knowledge over the years, but actively value feedback from our guests so we can continue to improve and provide excellence.

Here are some highlights of the property itself that we know you'll love:

** Elk Glade is a beautiful, home with a rustic lodge feel. From the extra large covered back deck, to the timber frame staircase and abundance of log furniture, there is no question you have reached your mountain retreat when you step inside.

** Greenbelt views and trail system access. The house backs up to a swath of protected valley, lush with native plants and local wildlife. In the spring and summer elk can be spotted playing in the seasonal pond out back, as well as bobcats, mule deer, and more. This valley is also part of the larger Angel Fire Trail system, great for hiking, biking, or snowshoeing depending on weather. Most of all, this valley provides beautiful views and makes you feel far from it all while just minutes from everything in town.

** Three King bedrooms and two living rooms! This home has plenty of space for the whole gang, with room to spread out or spend time together. Three king bedrooms means less fighting over the main suite, and two living rooms, less fighting over the remote! Kids can have a zone of their own, and adults too, or of course, there is space to come together as a group.

** Fireplaces, Fire pits, Fire Tables, oh my! Love a good fire? Us too! This home has 2 wood-burning fireplaces inside, 3 propane-powered fire pit tables on the upper deck, and a fire pit in the yard. Don't forget your smores supplies at this one! (and don't worry, we provide the firewood)

** The house has radiant floor heating, meaning your toes will always be toasty warm! The garage is also heated so close those doors and enjoy loading up for the day staying warm and cozy.

** The ultimate family fun destination! We have all the amenities for the whole gang. Unwind in the hot tub on the back deck, use the hilly side of the property for sledding, start a foosball or shuffleboard tournament in the lower living room, or play a game on the large dining table. And don't forget to have a movie night on the sectional couch with recliners. No matter the ages, your group will love what this house has to offer.

** Elk Glade sleeps up to 12, making it ideal for 2-3 families. All 3 bedrooms have king-size beds and the kid's loft sleeps 6 with 4 twins and 1 full-size bed. The house also has 3 full bathrooms, which are being remodeled this winter!

**The house is fully stocked with everything you could need for your stay. In each bathroom, we provide linens and towels, shampoo, body wash, and a hair dryer. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the pots, pans, and other cooking utensils you need, as well as paper towels, napkins, spices, olive oil, dish soap, and dishwashing detergent. All you need to buy is the food! We also have a laundry room with detergent provided for the washer, just in case your mountain adventures get messy!

If this sounds like a good fit for your family, read on for more details.

BEDROOMS/SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:
Elk Glade has 3 king bedrooms all on the main floor, perfect for families traveling together. On the top floor is the kids' loft space, complete with 4 twin beds and 1 full. There are 3 full bathrooms – one attached to the main suite with a jacuzzi tub and large walk-in shower, the others are on the main floor and lower level. Bedrooms and bathrooms are fully stocked with pillows, linens/blankets, towels, shampoo, and body wash, hair dryers, and hand soap.

LIVING AREAS:
There are two large living spaces in this home, as well as room in the loft for the kiddos. Not to mention the multiple outdoor decks. The main living room is part of a great room area connected to the kitchen and dining room. This room features a beautiful stone fireplace, cozy recently updated furniture, and a large SmartTV for catching up on your favorite movies and shows. On the top floor is an area in the loft where kids can hang out. This space has bean bags as well as books and toys for their enjoyment. On the bottom floor is a huge game and movie room where families can gather to play shuffleboard or foosball, or curl up on the sectional (with recliners) and watch TV or a movie. We also provide plenty of games and puzzles to keep you busy. The game room also has a bar and an additional refrigerator in the laundry room to store your beverages.

KITCHEN/DINING
Creating and eating meals together is another way to create great family memories and the Elk Glade home provides everything you need. Our kitchen features stainless appliances, a double oven with a warming drawer, microwave, crockpot, refrigerator/freezer, coffee makers (regular and a Keurig), blender, and griddle. All plates, glassware, baking/cookware, pots, pans, and utensils are provided. In addition, we have a full pantry with olive oil, flour, sugar, and spices to get you started.

For dining, there is a dining room table that seats 8 and barstools at the kitchen counter that seat 5.

Outside, there is a propane grill for your use, as well as a dining table seating 8.

ENTERTAINMENT INDOORS:
Our goal is to provide plenty of options for everyone to have fun and be entertained while staying at Elk Glade. The game room has shuffleboard, foosball, and a large SmartTV with DVD player, as well as a bar, games, and puzzles for all to enjoy. The main level living area has a sound system with radio and a sound bar to connect your phone and enjoy your own music. We have also added a SmartTV to this space for enjoying a show or movie upstairs. The house has high-speed internet and wifi, as well as Roku SmartTVs in each of the bedrooms. The house also has satellite TV with many family/sports/movies and local channels. For your comfort, the game room has a sectional couch that includes 4 recliners, cup-holders, and consoles.

ENTERTAINMENT OUTDOORS:
Outside, our focus is on providing the setting for fun family memories. The back of the house has both an upper and lower deck with rocking chairs and side tables – great in the summertime, having coffee in the morning or happy hour in the afternoon, taking in the mountain air and spotting wildlife in the valley which are most commonly seen around dawn and dusk. There's a gas grill on the covered top deck for grilling no matter the season and plenty of seating around the 3 gas firepit tables. On the bottom deck is the hot tub, perfect for relaxing after skiing, hiking, or mountain biking, as well as a cornhole set for playing in the yard or on the deck.

The backyard has a firepit with a stocked wood pile for smores time in winter or summer. The yard is full of trees and backs up to the green belt valley, giving kids plenty of room to play no matter the season. Picture yourself sitting in the hammock watching them play, or grabbing a sled and enjoying the properties' many hilly areas in the wintertime.

The Angel Fire trail system is also just behind the house and is great for a short evening stroll or even a longer hike. The "Elk" trail is directly behind our house and can be reached by crossing the valley near the seasonal pond. This trail will connect you to the great Angel Fire trail system which runs all around town.

LAUNDRY ROOM/MUD ROOM
Entering the house from the garage you go right into our mud room/laundry room. Here there are ample hooks for coats and rubber mats for boots. We have a front-load washer and dryer with provided detergent and dryer sheets in case things get messy during your stay. There is also an area inside the front door with boot mats and a hall closet for coats so you are all set no matter where you come in.

PARKING/GARAGE:
When you get to the house, we have an easy sloped driveway and a garage to park your vehicle. The garage is heated so your vehicle will be toasty warm when you get in it – a great perk on cold winter mornings.

Note: for your protection and ours, we have security cameras that monitor the exterior entry points: front of the house, garage, and the rear entry beyond the decks.

Ski Trip to Angel Fire
Our stay was wonderful! This home had everything we needed for an extended family ski vacation...sleds, top of the line appliances and cookware, space for everyone to spread out, garage parking, comfortable beds, game room, beautiful views, and a hot tub to soak in after skiing all day. Cheryl was a super attentive and quick responding host! We had lots of snow and she checked in, made sure the driveway was plowed and even offered to switch dates if that would help. Everything from checkin to checkout was super easy and the house functioned like a dream! Thanks again for a wonderful time!

Perfect for quick Ski Trip
We have stayed in many rentals. This property had all the info in a informative booklet that was so nice for us to have on hand if we had any questions. Also I can appreciate the condiments/ and supplies that were available, such as dishwasher tablets/coffee filters/ trash bags. There were enough towels for everyone. Also very clean. I would definitely recommned this spot to others.

Great family vacation!
This vacation home is very family friendly and a great place to make memories. It is large, clean and fully stocked with everything. We were a party of 10 with six adults and four kids. The large open kitchen/dining /living area is great for cooking family meals and enjoying them together. The game room was the favorite hang out for our four grandsons (ages 15, 13, 12, 11). The three private bedrooms were comfortable and accommodated all the adults and the kids enjoyed the sleeping loft. It is an easy drive to the ski lift. We saw wildlife everyday on the drive. The house had everything advertised and more!

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Harte, Mountain Serenity Rentals

Host profile image
Our family is from the Dallas, TX area. We have been coming out to Angel Fire since 2006 and we love to escape to cooler temperatures there in the summer and just love the snow and activities in the winter.

We bought our first rental property at that time (homeaway/175635) and have spent these years developing our experience of working with travelers to provide memorable vacation experiences. We bought this rental property in 2014 and travelers have enjoyed this home as well. In 2017, through our company Mountain Serenity Rentals, we have begun to market properties for other owners. Our plan is to be very selective about the properties we'll market, looking for the ones that will best fit what travelers look for in vacation rentals.

Why they chose this property

Having owned the Mountain Serenity house since 2006, we love to rent our home to families vacationing in Angel Fire. Having the opportunity to buy the house next door is a dream for us, with 2 rental properties side by side being a great option for large groups.

What makes this property unique

What we love about this house is its feel of a cabin in the wildnerness, with its private, expansive views of the valley and forest behind it, to the cedar logs lining the inside of the house, to the woodburning fireplaces in the living room and the master bedroom. It will be a great escape and a source of wonderful memories for many families for years to come.
