We loved the place, but you pay for the location in that it's awfully windy in late November, luckily there are a couple of places to sit outside that were less windy and the living room view is amazing. Lots of deer in neighborhood and very friendly people. NM was in quarantine, so the lake was closed to us, but White Sands NP was open and it's really something to behold. I was impressed by how many tourists wore masks. On the other hand, the shopkeepers were terrible about masking up and didn't put them on until we walked in, really horrifying! Even at Albertson's (big chain grocery) half the staff wore their masks below their noses.
