We require guests to arrive no later than an hour before sundown (summer 7:30pm - winter 5:00pm) We require this because we are very rural and our sites are not lit to keep our property natural and prevent light pollution for ourselves and our neighbors.

Very cute little place. Nice private location, but easy to find. Pat is very kind. There were a few things in the Silo that didn't work upon arrival. Pat brought in the maintenance man, but was unable to fix them during our stay. Thanks for putting in the effort. The bed is very firm but we found it very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen and linens situation. Porches are really nice for enjoying the views. We would definitely stay here again.

This was my second stay at the same site, and it was just as magical and fantastic as the first one! Diana's communication was clear and helpful. The amenities such as bathroom, kitchen shed and hot tub were all kept clean and in great shape. And last but not least, the area where the property is located is JUST so amazingly beautiful and peaceful, with fall colors still adding more charm. I look forward to another stay!

Pat was responsive to all our questions before and during our stay, and we appreciated her flexibility. Our concern about a gas smell turned out to be an unlit pilot light on the stove, and that was easily remedied. We also wondered if a silo would be drafty--but it wasn't. We were there in early October, and the view of the surrounding Chama River Valley was beautiful. We loved the Silo and would stay there again!

2 nights at Casa de KAMA (The Silo)

I took my 8 year old grandson (at his request) to visit my birthplace of NM and show him things I had told him about from my own childhood. I had only 4 real days to be able to give him a glimpse, but it was enough for him to ask to return again. One of the first questions he asked was what "enchanted" meant when he kept reading it on signs. Words are not useful when trying to paint what that means, but after 2 full days at Casa Kama, he said "now I get it." We chose the silo because it looked remote and yet not intimidating for a first kid visit. What transpired for both of us was a punctuation of the beauty and quiet grandeur of not only New Mexico's land, but the warmth of the people who reside in respect to the earth and one another. Sometimes it is "risky" to book on line, but in this case, it was truly magical. There are enough photos on the website to show what this is physically, but what I can say is that there is a deeper, more soulful elegance and comfort to sitting in the morning listening to the birds, and ending the day with the sky illuminated with stars and meteor shows (it was Perseid time), and hearing distant coyotes in the nightime. Pat is a gracious and generous host who met us as we arrived and advised us of the last hour of the farm market in Abiquiu which we promptly went to find. Again, the beauty of the people, the bounty from the farms and skilled hands was so refreshing. This is a gift for one to be able to visit here.

Weekend Trip to Mystical & Enchanted Desert Escape

My significant other and I were passing through on our way back from a cross country road trip. We found this Hipcamp and it was incredible. We only stayed for one night but it provided us with everything we needed. The outdoor shower was beneficial for us, as we were hiking and camping for multiple days prior. We were able to clean up before heading home to Arizona. We enjoyed the most beautiful sunset and sunrise from our campsite. I appreciated all of the beautiful rocks and subtle trinkets placed around the property. My favorite part was viewing the abundance of the colors against the red rocks as the sun set. We ended the trip leaving some special rocks to add to the collection. ✨ Will be back and would recommend this Hipcamp to anyone needing an escape from the noise of life.

WOW the view!!!! I love the idea of being greeted and shown around, that was helpful. My site was very private with a short walk to the canyon edge. Even better, the view is the perfect site for a sunset. The directions were great, and the amenities were amazing. I loved that I had cell service, too.

This was such a cool and unique stay! It was such a perfect place to reconnect to the land and getaway from the city. My boyfriend and I stayed here and it was such a great place to watch the sunset, take in the views of the land, cook dinner together, and explore what Abiquiu has to offer. This Silo was not only really cool but it also came with everything you needed to make this trip memorable. I would definitely come here again!
