My wife and I spent 3 nights in early May at Rum Island Cabin. It was as advertised a minimalist retreat into nature. We only scheduled 2 things: a kayak trip to Gilchrist Blue with Get Up and Go and a visit to Michael Singer's nearby Temple of the Universe. Other than that we let time go, slept peacefully until 9, visited the Springs a short walk away, and took the time to be quiet and listen to the birds. The cabin is not spacious, my wife had no place to spread out her multiple array of stuff, the bugs were doing their thing and the air was muggy (living in the Colorado high country we forgot what that was like). But it was what we wanted, nothing but us, minimal distractions and chatting with interesting locals and travelers passing by on the Santa Fe River. It's a memorable place that we will take with us. We only connected with hosts MaryAnn and Dave briefly, enough to know that they are the real deal as is the space they created at Rum Island Cabin.
