Abiquiu Lake Mesa Home is a spacious one-bedroom, one-bath fully furnished home, set on a mesa overlooking the glassy waters of Abiquiu Lake, the red cliffs of Ghost Ranch and surrounding mountains on all sides. Located in Georgia O'Keeffe territory, it is surrounded by red and purple rock formations, Abiquiu Lake, the Chama River, Carson National Forest and Cerro Pedernal. Every view from every direction is truly inspiring.
This spacious and comfortable home is an oasis for quiet stillness, rejuvenation, and creativity. The house has a wonderful indoor - outdoor floor with 2 oversized sliding glass doors and a large verandah. You will feel the power of the water, land, and skies in this seamless indoor/outdoor space. Star gazing, sunrise, and sunset are not to be missed!
Staying here is an amazing and unique "get-away" experience located on an 8-acre property with the lake and red rocks in front of you and the famous Pedernal Mountain standing guard behind you. You can't help but sense the vast scope and close centering of the land that inspired Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings. The Studios are located in a secondary building on an 8-acre property. The history and beauty of the land is powerful. Enjoy immersing yourself in your surroundings, taking in the night skies and fresh air, hiking from your door, visiting the lake and surrounding areas, and recharging your spirit.

The cozy living room with a fireplace invites you to curl up and relax with a book or movie or watch from your comfortable couch.
The primary bedroom suite has an en-suite bath with double sinks, a walk-in shower and wonderful soaking tub with a window. Luxurious linens and quality amenities finish the package.
While we recommend "unplugging" as much as possible, you also have complementary unlimited WIFI and 2 SMART TV's.
The home features sliding glass doors from both the dining area and the primary bedroom that open up to a deck which spans the length of the house and overlooks the lake. The deck offers three different seating areas and amazing views of Lake Abiquiu and spectacular red rock landscapes. You can enjoy a seamless indoor/outdoor living experience.
The steps from the deck lead to the fire pit and the six-person hot tub.
Private lake access is 3/4 mile away or a lovely 10-15 minute walk, or quick drive. *Please Note the Google Map descriptions are not quite accurate in this remote area.

We had the exact experience we were hoping for. The home was clean and the amenities were excellent. The hot tub was nice and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved the views and how peaceful the house and surrounding area was. We would recommend this rental to others and will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful stay at this Abiquiu home! The house was just as advertised—clean, comfortable, and beautifully set up for a relaxing getaway. We especially loved the very clean hot tub and the peaceful views after exploring the surrounding area. A perfect base for enjoying everything Abiquiu has to offer. Highly recommend!
This is an amazing property with nice privacy and peace. Full sky of stars at night and beautiful views of this gorgeous landscape all around. Wonderful porch for sitting outside and enjoying the serenity.
The property is oh so gorgeous, and Tani is an excellent host! She was very responsive and accommodating. There were snacks and a selection of coffees on the table when we arrived, and the place was very clean.
House was great, the view was amazing. Was able to walk a lot, dirt gravel roads.We spent most of our time on the back patio, furniture was very comfortable, and again the view , was breathtaking.

I'm so glad you were able to relax and enjoy the beauty of this space! Please come again :)
Loved the property house was in great condition just as described. We enjoyed hiking on the property and getting in hot tub in early morning listening to the elk bugling in background. We brought a motorcycle and toured all around Abiquiu and the Taos area . We did several hikes around Ghost Ranch . Abiquiu is our go to spot to vacation the scenery is out of this world . Tani was a great host we had no problems whatsoever with house or getting there .
The home is beautifully designed and decorated. The views are absolutely breathtaking. The owner was very accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the Abiqui area.

Thank you so much! Yes this house is great year around. I hope you can return again.
This beautifully appointed home sits atop a mesa with views of Abiquiú Lake in one direction and famous and enchanting Cerro Pedernal in the opposite direction — all this under a magnificent New Mexican sky. The house was modern and cozy w/ high-beam ceiling. Every window had a spectacular view. We walked the mesa and enjoyed the stunning views and peacefulness. What a find!

Thank you so much! Yes the views in every direction can really carry us away. We look forward to welcoming you back!
We enjoyed every minute of our stay here. The home is so comfortable and the view is to die for. At night you could literally see billions of stars. In a word, magical.
The property is gorgeous, views for miles. It is peaceful. I have not been in a place that is that quiet in some time. It is just a really nice place to spend time with yourself or partner and just be. That is special.

Thank you! Yes the inspiring beauty and quiet make for a wonderful romantic getaway!
We really enjoyed this stay, the views are magnificent. My wife and I stayed here for my son’s wedding that was held nearby in the National Forest. My mother and sister also joined us in the adjacent studios.
Our location was perfect for my mom and sister to join us on the patio and share meals with us.
While we were unpacking on our arrival my wife and I said “we are definitely coming back here”! This place is so charming.

Thanks so much, Jeff! Such a pleasure to host your wonderful family for such a special event. I look forward to welcoming you back!!
This house is our go-to place when we want an unplug-type vacation. I want to keep this place a secret, but that is not fair to the owner of this beautiful home. Everything about the house is on point. The landscape and views are magical. We will be back next year.
