The Pecos River Cliff House – It’s Magical!

Welcome to the Pecos River Cliff House – a magical place where luxury meets wilderness. Located just 30 minutes from Santa Fe at the edge of the Santa Fe National Forest, this breathtaking cliff house towers 50 feet above the majestic Pecos River. Make yourself at home in the custom adobe house, where back bay windows provide a stunning view of the great beyond.


Embrace comfort and relaxation at every turn with upscale amenities that include hypoallergenic linens, top-of-the-line mattresses, and a stocked Keurig coffeemaker. The bathroom is equipped with an over-sized jacuzzi tub and a Mr. Steamer shower system so that you can clean off desert dust and unwind after a long day of adventure.


Whether you’re looking to unplug and explore or settle in for the night, there are infinite activities and entertainment options you can enjoy. Inside the air-conditioned house, we offer lightning-fast wifi and cellphone service, a Chromebook, a Bluetooth speaker system, and a ROKU Smart TV.



Walk down the 50-foot staircase and step into the cold water at the Pecos River’s edge. The exclusive resort is yours to explore with year-round trout fishing in the river, beginner rock climbing, a large meadow for picnicking and campfires, and 250 feet of private river access. Seasonally, a 40-foot waterfall complements the landscape neatly, itself complemented by a 50-foot cliff, like something out of a painting. The wildlife at Cliff House is abundant too, adding a touch of vibrancy to an already-vibrant property. If for some reason you find yourself wanting more, there are 1.5 million acres of pristine National Forest land just across the river. Let your wild side out, cruising around in the on-site Monster Jeep Wrangler, which is available for rent.



The Pecos River Cliff House is the perfect jumping-off place for every outdoor adventure. From the canyon to the redwoods, there are picture-perfect, once-in-a-lifetime sights all around you at The Cliff House. Adventure awaits.

Wonderful Location
The pictures accurately show the location and environment of the house. It is really a wonderful place to stay for a few days and get away from the real world. The river can be heard from the house and the bedroom has a massive four panel patio door opening to the outside so we left the door open and only closed the screen at night to be able to hear the river. The house is equipped with everything you will need and our host provided all the information we needed to both navigate the area and use the facility. The area at the river is completely private and well shaded. There are floats and canoes to use in the river and a picnic table and other seating at the river's edge. Overall a fantastic place away from it all.

Amazing View
We stayed here for a week. The house is in the most beautiful spot. It is secluded and has everything you need. We didn't come at a good time for fishing, but my teenagers sure gave it their best efforts. We spent time in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos. New Mexico was good to us. Thank you for the wonderful house!

A Peace of Heaven in San Jose, New Mexico
Their service level is top-notch, and beyond that, it's the details that make the difference. Hearing the river below & watching wildlife in abundance was soothing to the soul. The peacefulness, and quietness, & we enjoyed the rain as well. If one loves the nightlife there is Santa Fe about a forty-minute ride away. Thanks to you for all your efforts and the above-and-beyond assistance you provided during our stay. Much appreciated - and looking to another visit. God's Blessings

Views and great river access.
What a great stay! Host communication is perfect. The house is wonderful. We loved going to the river and hanging out. We had it totally to ourselves. The view from the house is amazing. Everything a person might need is there, right down to bug spray, a crockpot, fishing gear, foil, coffee, Tupperware. So nice. We were just 30 minutes easy driving by freeway to Sante Fe, which was an added bonus. We would stay again in a heart beat, if only we lived a bit closer.

Absolutely magical
Absolutely perfect - from communications with Robin, to arrival, enjoyment, and checkout. The pictures really don't do this justice - the views are stunning and house is so cozy and beautifully appointed. The property is... wow! It felt special to be able to enjoy it. Never saw another person. Thank you to the owner for sharing this magical place. We are already planning our return.

Best vacation ever
Wife and i were there first week in August. I haven’t entered my review mainly due to inability to put the experience into words. We kept pinching ourselves to make sure it wasn’t a dream and that we were really there. The house itself is awesome and perfect in every way. The view was incredible along with the solitude never turned on TV. Never turned on music turned off our phones and simply enjoyed the natural setting. Looking forward to another trip Definitely worth it

Outstanding!
This is an outstanding property. We always look for unique private locations and this was it. Makes you feel like you are the only people around but yet easy access to the interstate. Views were gorgeous. Nice outdoor spaces. Area by river well kept. House was perfect. By far the best stocked house we have ever stayed in. Literally only need to bring your clothes and food. Host was very responsive and helpful. Needs more than 5 stars!!!

Perfect Getaway Spot!
This place is truly breathtaking! Very clean, well stocked with all you could need including, extra fishing rods, gear, life jackets, kayaks, roll away bed, fans and the list goes on. Owner is great at keeping in communication and was very helpful in giving us fishing tips. Majestic views and just a short walk down some stairs to a huge natural picnic area right along the rivers edge. Picnic benches and firepit make this a great area to lounge while fishing. There are also some great trails to explore along the rivers edge. We will definitely be making our way back to this fantastic place if they will have us again!

Beautiful place. Get away from it all - literally. The back porch alone was worth the price of admission. Nothing like the sound of a river. We'll be back... Thanks for sharing this place.
