Weekend Trip to Taos Goji Farm & Eco Lodge
The cabin was very comfortable and the farm was beautiful to explore. Loved reading the farm history in the Welcome materials in my cabin. Took many backlit pictures of wildflowers. For those arriving without 4wd, there is a mile+ dirt road leading to the property--take it slow and arrive during daylight. After my stay I learned there was a local swimming opportunity I wish I had known about. The young wwoofers on the farm were friendly and added to the experience. Thank you for offering this truly special place!

Incredible! What a sweet little oasis. Nikki and Michael were very welcoming and responsive. It was quite a ways off the path and a great place for a few days stay. I wish I had the time to spend and will definitely be recommending it to friends and family.
This place was healing for the short time I was blessed to be there. A beautiful creek, hiking trail, cozy bed and a sweet puppy.
Nikki also offers guided tours and they would be a great way to experience the energy of the land.
Thank you for a wonderful stay, I hope to be back again!

This was our third stay at Santa Fe Treehouse. It always feels like a home away from home. Ciana and Brad are exceptionally kind and welcoming hosts.
In the past, we stayed in Pegasus treehouses (which are also great!), but decided to try out the Mustang Bunkhouse this time. I wish we could have stayed a week instead of only a night. We loved the screened porch, having a full sized fridge to empty our cooler into, and being in close proximity to the communal kitchen. The cabin is so lovingly decorated—it’s really a special place. We will definitely be back for a longer.
