27mi from Arroyo Seco · 4 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · La Madera, NM

Learn more about this land: Lush high desert river oasis nestled in a fertile valley in the Carson National Forest right between the fiery expanse of Taos and the rolling colorful formations of Abiquiu. Peaceful and private 3 acres right by the river at the edge of a little quaint town called La Madera (145 people, no shops)- just 6 miles to the healing mineral Hot Springs of Ojo Caliente, a place of emergence or rebirth as known to the local Natives. Right by the river, held by a ridge (that makes for amazing sunset hikes), I have a 16ft Yurt Canvas set up with furnishings (desk, couch, wash stand) and a wooden Queen Bed with down bedding. This site can only be reached by foot across the river via stumps- a car can be parked near by.. approx. 50ft. I also have a Vintage Camper that can be heated, has a kitchen, electricity and plenty of outdoor furniture with a fire pit and serene mountain views. As well as a monastic and very grounding Ensuite Bedroom, or a simple campsite if you want to bring your own camper or tent. All facilities have access to a guest bathroom inside the main house. I offer dog sitting while you soak at Ojo, healing modalities that you'll find in the Extras section, and my dear neighbor Jackie takes appointments for massages with homemade essential oils. +++ 6 miles to Ojo Caliente Hot Springs. There you will find the best restaurant in the area, with locally/organically farmed produce. The land is naturally and beautifully wild- it is not a manicured campsite. The dirt rd down to the property is best suited for higher clearance vehicles, but is manageable for city cars. With land by the river comes the mosquitos- June to August only. They are predominantly active during sunrise and sunset; long loose fitting clothes and a repellent work great. Waterhole, Waterfall and climbing sites near by, as well as Plaza Blanca, Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch and the Taos Gorge are 30 mins drive away. *No cell service in the greater area. WiFi reaches around the house/deck and allows for WiFi Calling: that’s a setting in your phone that enables phone calls & texts beside usual internet access.

My stay at the year on the Mesa top totally exceeded my expectations. Kate was there to greet me and show me around and really has put many magical touches on the place. There was everything I need to cook, do dishes, even take an outdoor shower. I came in late fall, and while it was cold at night, the propane heater was toasty. And the bedding was amazing, so I didn’t even need the heater when I slept. The views and the stars and the location are unparalled. I would definitely come back!

Beautiful property, very quiet and peaceful. The tipi was a wonderful experience to disconnect. I stayed here at the tail end of my week camping road trip, so having a nice cozy, comfy place to sleep with access to a hot shower was heaven.

Amazing stay in a perfectly comfortable boho styled yurt! So inviting to relax and gaze at the rock cliffs and surrounding landscapes and sky ! Breathtaking views, peaceful, quiet with convenient and clean outhouse and outdoor shower!! The host is amazing and accommodating. Exploring the landscape, singing in the ‘amphitheater’ or a short drive to Abique.. You won’t regret the quiet and stillness at night ❣️

It was so much fun! Deborah is a really cool lady, she was awesome to talk to and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and informed us about fun things to do nearby. The yurt we stayed in was very cute, had lots of blankets and pillows, a mini fridge with a little freezer compartment for icetrays and popsicles and a bigger fridge as well. The propane stove was also really convenient when we didn't feel like grilling outside. I woke up and enjoyed my morning coffee in the hammocks they provided while watching the horses and cows roaming the pasture right outside of the yurt! I would also highly recommend walking to the pond in the evenings to watch the sunset in the canoe, absolute magic. 10/10 would stay here again!

Such a lovely host, we had a late arrival so Kate made videos to ensure we found our site. The yurt was so beautiful and we had more than everything we could need.
