Cochiti Cabin (Our Slice of Heaven) - The Best of Angel Fire

Welcome to our Slice of Heaven - Cochiti Cabin, a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, multi-level mountain home tucked away in the trees just minutes from Angel Fire Ski Area. This home is popular with groups of skiers and snowboarders or large family gatherings for the unique space it offers.

The cabin is a beautiful 2,400 square foot mountain chalet, hovering close to the heavens at 8,750 foot elevation, tucked away on a beautiful one-acre setting in the woods. It has a large wraparound deck and two fire tables on the deck for evening visiting. The cabin is centered in a wilderness playground for elk and deer with an expansive, incredible view of the ski valley and forest of trees surrounding it. The property backs up to the Carson National Forest that is accessible for hiking, biking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

Although Cochiti Cabin sits snugly in a forest of evergreens and aspens, it is easy to access from the main highway. It is located 2.5 miles, about 5 minutes, from the base of the mountain, about 5 minutes to the Angel Fire Country Club and Golf Course and less than 10 minutes to Monte Verde Lake. This is also a pet friendly rental (dog or cat) so the whole family can truly vacation together (please contact the host for more details). Cochiti Cabin is located up in the mountains with fantastic views and only glimpses of neighbors. Peaceful and secluded, yet less than five minutes from all the amenities of town.

This A-frame style chalet has spectacular views and large picture windows on the main-living area that allows guests to enjoy views both inside the home and outside. The large wraparound deck is one of the best features of this house and is accessed through both doors on the main level. Lots of deck furniture, fire pits and a gas grill will lure you outside, so bring your favorite food to barbecue and enjoy our cool mountain air! Part of the deck is covered so you can keep working even during the winter snow or soft summer rains. Enjoy the great views of the distant mountains peeking through the evergreen and aspen trees that grow all around the house. From the deck, enjoy the birds, deer and other wildlife during the day and then after dark watch the stars twinkle above the mountain. Take advantage of the telescope to get a close-up view of skiers on the slope or you favorite constellation. The deck is a great spot to watch the sunrise among the trees or host a party with friends as the sun sets. A set of bistro tables and chairs on the balcony are great for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or sharing happy hour cocktails with friends. The huge wraparound deck offers panoramic views of the mountains and wildlife. Elk and deer are commonly seen walking through the backyard at dawn and dusk.

We think our home is perfect for families - adults can entertain themselves on the upper-levels while younger folks can have fun on the bottom “game-room” floor. The cabin’s large, open floor plan enables spaces for groups that wants to relax and chat before the wood burning fire. Others may want to socialize at the kitchen counter while meals or appetizers are being prepared. Another group may want to play cards or games at the dining room table. There is still room up in the loft for someone who wants quiet time to curl up with a new book by their favorite author while soaking up sun from the south facing windows. With all this beauty, who needs the internet? Just in case, the home has Wi-Fi access.

Living Areas:

Main-level: The kitchen is on the main floor (which is the middle-level) and shares a large open space with the dining room and living room. The dining table has seating for six but is banquet size so it’s also great for cards and board game playing! There are three stools at the kitchen bar counter for additional seating. The living room has a rustic stone hearth wood-burning fireplace. Light a fire while entertaining for a cozy ambiance or to stay warm on chilly winter evenings after a full day of skiing. The high ceilings in the living room and comfortable sofa and recliners create a great lounge area for watching your favorite shows or movies on the large flat screen TV with Blu-ray DVD player. The laundry facilities, washer/dryer, are located next to the kitchen behind closed doors so you can throw a load of laundry in while entertaining or relaxing. There are two private bedrooms, each with a queen size bed, a queen sleeper sofa and a full-bathroom (including tub).

Top-level: The loft area overlooks the living room below and has a queen bed (3rd bedroom), large sitting area with a queen sleeper sofa and a small private balcony of its own. There is also a half-bathroom with separate area where dual-sinks are located giving privacy to those using the shower and bathroom.

Bottom-level: The lower level of the home is set up as an multipurpose game-room with two queen size futons, and a bunk bed with a full size bed on the lower bunk and a twin size bed on the top bunk. There is also another half-bathroom providing plenty of shower space for guests. The game-room is equipped with several games, a Wii, a dartboard and a large flat screen TV with Blu-ray DVD player and DVR recorder. There’s also a whiteboard for younger kids to doodle.

We hope that our cabin is colorful, comfy and clean for you. It's our 2nd home and we want our guests to experience the perfect getaway. We've equipped it with what we think everyone needs, but if you have any suggestions or compliments, we are open to hearing them. We want to share our special place in the mountains where we try to get away and get unplugged.
