Experience a true winter retreat in the Manzano Mountains. The nights are cold, the stars endless, and the air filled with the scent of pine. Bring warm clothes and discover how refreshing it feels to slow down and reconnect with nature’s rhythm.
Set in the heart of New Mexico’s Manzano Mountains, the Pinetop Glamping Tent at Manzano Mountain Retreat offers the perfect mix of rustic adventure and modern comfort. Across 140 acres of apple orchards, rolling meadows, shady pines, and wide-open skies, our retreat is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature.
Your private tent captures the magic of camping with the comfort of a cozy hideaway. Inside, you’ll find a plush king bed, fresh linens, heating, AC, and electrical outlets — everything you need for a restful night beneath starry skies. Step outside in the morning to crisp mountain air, birdsong, and the scent of Ponderosa pines, a refreshing shift from daily routines.

- Comfortable king bed with linens, duvet & pillows - Air conditioning & heating for year-round comfort - Mini-fridge & coffee machine - Power outlets & interior lighting - Fresh towels provided - Outdoor seating to take in the mountain views
Life at Manzano Mountain Retreat moves with the rhythm of the land. Families enjoy meeting our miniature donkeys, Highland cows, ponies, and peacocks. Couples wander quiet orchard paths or relax along forest trails. Adventurers set off into the Cibola National Forest or explore the historic Quarai Ruins, while others spend lazy afternoons by the pool or evenings gathered around the firepit.
Dining is part of the charm. On weekends, start your day with a hearty breakfast buffet. Weekdays feature fresh, made-to-order meals, and the Mercantile shop offers snacks, drinks, and local goods daily. In the fall, our orchards come alive with harvest traditions, cider pressing, and donuts that keep guests returning year after year.
Guests often tell us they leave feeling lighter, more connected, and full of memories. Whether it’s a romantic getaway, family adventure, or personal retreat, you’ll find the pace unhurried, the welcome genuine, and the mountains embracing you with calm.

Loved our glamping stay at Manzano Mountain Retreat
My husband and I decided to go glamping to celebrate our first year anniversary, we wanted to get away from the city to enjoy nature,
This place was amazing! Super relaxing with beautiful views of the woods all around. The bed was so cozy and comfortable, and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. We also loved the adorable farm animals, it made the stay extra special! The food was delicious too. Everything about this place was perfect for a peaceful getaway. Can’t wait to go back,

A treasure to see!
The drive to our glamping experience was a treat of its own. We saw so many deer sitting under trees and strolling around as we approached the retreat. Our host, Annie, made us feel immediately welcome. Our tent was luxurious with exactly what was needed to make our stay perfect. It had a spacious area, water bottles in the mini fridge and a Keurig machine with plenty of coffee. The heated mattress added comfort and we really enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. Full bath restrooms were very clean and each had showers. The fish pond was a short walk away and so many fish could be seen enjoying their habitat. Then we went to dinner. We were celebrating a birthday so balloon centerpieces were placed on our group table. We were given complimentary fried pickles and onion rings to start. Everyone was so friendly and so professional. Our food was plentiful, top rated and very delicious. It was all picture perfect. If you call in a special request that is not on the menu, it will be done for you to perfection. We picked up apple cider and gift items from the mercantile store. The youngsters and adults as well loved the animals and fed them grass. Some of us played horseshoes while others got to unwind, relax and enjoy ourselves. The apple orchard had trees budding with promises of fruit to come. There is so much more, these are the highlights.
