A Retro Mountain Escape Like No Other The Serene 70s Retreat Near the San Antonio Hot Springs Tucked beneath tall pines and big New Mexico skies, the Serene 70s Retreat is a quiet mountain cabin from a slower time. Built in 1973 and resting on over 4.5 acres at the edge of the Santa Fe National Forest, this is the kind of place you come to when you need stillness, space, and a little reminder that life doesn’t have to move so fast. You’re about an hour north of Albuquerque, but it feels like a different world out here. Wake up to sunlight filtering through the trees. Soak your bones in the San Antonio Hot Springs. Wander into the wide-open beauty of Valles Caldera or cast a line at Fenton Lake. Whether you're looking for peace or a little wild adventure, this place has the rhythm just right.
What’s Waiting for You Here, it’s not about doing everything. It’s about slowing down enough to feel something. Lounge in hammocks under a sky that seems to go on forever Curl up by the original fireplace with a record playing Sit by the fire pit with a drink and a blanket as stars appear one by one Breathe in the mountain air and listen—really listen—to how quiet it gets out here Inside, you’ll find warm wood finishes, vintage charm, and just enough modern comfort to let you settle in. Outside, it’s nature, plain and simple—and you’ll feel it in every step, every breeze, every quiet morning.
Stay Awhile This cabin wasn’t made for rushing in and out. It was built for lingering. Stay a weekend. Stay a week. Stay until you forget what day it is. Your days might look something like this: Mornings on the deck with coffee and birdsong Afternoons spent soaking, hiking, or reading in the shade Evenings by the fire, talking or not talking at all Nights full of stars and quiet dreams Need more time? Ask us about monthly rates and make this your unplugged home away from home.
Work From the Woods Who says you can’t get things done in the middle of nowhere? With Starlink internet, you can work, write, Zoom, or dream up your next big idea—without traffic, noise, or distractions. Set up the mobile outdoor desk on the deck or under the trees. Answer emails while deer wander by. Watch your creativity stretch out and settle in.
A Good Fit For Writers, artists & creatives needing quiet Remote workers looking for a view Couples, solo travelers, or families with pups Anyone craving calm, connection, or just a break from the noise
What to Know Before You Come Parking: Space for 4 vehicles—please park on the left side of the drive to keep the way clear Roads: It gets remote. In winter or heavy rain, 4WD and chains are smart
Pets: Welcome with a $30/night cleaning fee per pet. Keep ‘em leashed—wildlife like deer, elk, and bobcats are regular neighbors Safety: Three outdoor security cameras and a Ring doorbell offer peace of mind Smoking: Not allowed anywhere on the property. Violations = $500 fine + possible eviction.
Off the Beaten Path The road gets bumpy, and the power might flicker once in a while—but that’s part of the charm. You didn’t come all this way for perfection. You came for something real. Out here, you’re not just visiting. You’re returning—to something simple, spacious, and good for the soul.
