This additional space features a ping pong table, a comfortable lounge, a bathroom, and an upstairs loft bedroom with twin beds—ideal for those seeking a bit of privacy and additional mountain charm.

This cozy, natural, warm, countryside retreat was originally an Amish build farmhouse from upper US that was taken apart and reconstructed in beautiful Alto, NM. There are are original large hand honed beams throughout the home. Some of the original bricks are also highlighted in the grand entry.

With central AC and heating in the main house, Rustic Lodge is ready to welcome you year-round. Book your stay at this unique mountain getaway and make lifelong memories in a setting full of character and charm! (Guesthouse DOES NOT have AC).
