Phil and Cee were excellent hosts for our trip. We spent two nights here and really enjoyed the area (Tent Rocks hike was really fantastic). Phil was a great wealth of info on the area. The yurt is well off the road and everything is very quiet. There is a brewpub about 5 miles up for great pizza or pub sandwiches/salads. If we were coming back this way we would happily rent the yurt again. Thanks again Phil and Cee

Host profile image
After fifty years in the film industry as a cinematographer, I hung up my hat in 2018 and retired, but now I'm able to focus on my still photography. My passions and interests are varied: travel, music, food, reading, and studing the diverse cultures in New Mexico and the world. My wife Cee and I moved to NM because we were drawn by the dramatic landscape, big skies, and the open spaces. Our goal was to perserve the surrounding land as best we could-keeping our footprint smallish, and living off-grid. We love this land, we do what we can to save it. Cee and I lived in Spirit Yurt the first 14 years at Flying Trees. When we moved into the house that we built, we kept Spirit Yurt so others could experience this place that we call home.

Why they chose this property

We are blessed with beautiful sunrise and sunsets, magnificent night skies and wildlife. Guests will experience an abundance of hiking options in this dramatic landscape that surrounds Spirit Yurt. We are also minutes away from "The Turquoise Trail" (Hwy 14 South-Cerrillos and Madrid), 15 minutes from Madrid & just 30 mins from the Santa Fe Plaza.

What makes this property unique

Our property is located in the middle of 3200 park like acres of BLM conservation land ( Burnt Corn Special Management Area)... And it is soooo quite, except for the Coyotes howling at the night sky.
