We have uniquely remodeled vintage and modern, trailers and an Airstream available to rent in a lush, grassy field .
The field is very open, we have some mature trees and have just planted some new, baby cottonwoods.

We call it Big Little Hideaway and it will take you about 30 seconds upon arriving to discover why. My wife and I had been coming to Taos to ski for years and years and always felt at home, but it was a Summer trip that made us realize how much our souls belong here. My wife envisioned a property with a beautiful gate so that it feels like a courtyard (And she got it!) and after visiting the hot springs we knew this was The Spot!This is perfect if you're looking for a little bit of everything; mountain views, minutes away from hiking, paddle boarding, hot springs, skiing, and endless roads and beauty to explore. We're 15 minutes away from Taos and Arroyo Secco where you can enjoy great food, galleries and shopping, and 30 minutes away from the awesome Taos Ski Valley.Ideal for couples or families of 4 or close friends.

Welcome to the LAND — 43 private acres of high desert magic nestled at the base of Cerro Pedernal, where canyons cradle the sky and Polvadera Creek flows year-round, drawing beavers, birds, and the occasional awe-struck traveler. This is a place for those seeking the essence of the wild, with just enough comfort to stay awhile. With a one-of-a-kind view of Georgia O’Keeffe’s mountain muse in front of you and the ancient Tsi’pin village site to your left, this sacred land echoes with both artistic legacy and ancestral presence.
Camp beside the creek beneath cottonwoods and piñon. Gaze into a night sky free from all light pollution — a dome of stars unlike anywhere else. Walk quiet roads through ancient canyon paths. Listen to the hush. Here, the stillness speaks.
While rustic and off-grid in spirit, the LAND offers:
• Private, creekside tent sites with canyon views
• Fast Wi-Fi if you need it — or want to forget it
• A hot shower under open skies
• Peaceful access roads for all vehicles
• Easy wildlife spotting (beavers, deer, birds of prey)
• Nearby hikes, labyrinth walks, and sacred stone outcroppings
• 30 minutes from Abiquiú • 2 hours from Santa Fe
Whether you're journaling by the creek, meditating at sunrise, or watching the Milky Way unfurl above your tent, this is a place to remember what matters.
Come camp at the LAND.
Stay for the peace. Return for the stars.

Warm breezes and water fun are waiting for you at Abiquiu Lake. With some of the best fishing in New Mexico you’ll have a blast exploring the shores dotted with sage and juniper while you cast your line. Those who want a little leisure can stroll the trails or catch some rays on the swimming beach; there are gorgeous views of the Flint Mountains from the shores. And of course there’s plenty of boating, waterskiing, and jetskiing at your finger tips! The nearby Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and Santa Fe will satisfy your inner artist, but we think the night sky at one of Abiquiu’s campgrounds will be inspiration enough!

Welcome to the little guest cabin on the mesa. Simple. Cozy. Quiet. Clean. Everything you need and little that you don't.
Everyone's most loved feature is the expansive covered patio, with wide-open westward views over the Rio Grande Gorge.
Perfect for outdoor lovers who need a comfy adventure base. Close to skiing, hiking, rafting, mountain biking, hot air balloons, and more.
Solid wifi for remote work.
Coyote Cabin sits on 10 acres just north of Taos, on a property shared with the main house. You have access to miles of walkable dirt roads right from the door, and there are trails to BLM land nearby. 10 minute drive from access to the Rio Grande Gorge, and an easy 25 minute drive into Taos Ski Valley for snow fun and hiking. 15 min north of downtown Taos.
The cabin is divided into two sides. One side is a bedroom/bathroom suite with a comfortable queen size bed and a bathroom (with an awesome standing shower).
On the other side, separated by an exterior door, you'll find a cozy space for dining and relaxing, a couch (with a small fold-out mattress), and a kitchenette.
This means you move from the living room/kitchenette to the bedroom/bathroom by walking outside under the covered patio. While it's a bit unusual, we really enjoy it, and so do 99% of our guests. If you like being outdoors, and enjoy having separate areas for sleeping vs hanging out and cooking, you'll enjoy it too.
The kitchenette includes a mini fridge, a large double sink, an electric cooktop, varied coffee supplies, and all the essential cooking amenities. No need to run to the store just for basics like salt, pepper, or oil. Plus some less basic items, like a variety of Trader Joes spices + emergency snacks. The Blackstone outdoor griddle is a versatile cooking amenity, where you can make a full breakfast spread, delicious fajitas, and really anything in between.
This is a somewhat remote high desert area, with all that entails. There are birds, bugs, and lots of other wildlife around. You may hear coyotes singing late at night or early in the morning.
The last 1.5 miles of the drive are on a maintained dirt road. You don't need 4WD or a lifted vehicle to get here, although you may need it for other areas of Taos.
The guest cabin shares the 10 acres with the main house, where we live. If we're out of town, other guests may be staying in the main house. The cabin and house are well separated by both a large garage and latilla privacy fences.
The cabin is dog friendly, as we have two of our own and know the challenges of traveling with dogs.

No need to run to the store just for basics like salt, pepper, or oil. Plus some less basic items, like a variety of Trader Joes spices + emergency snacks. The Blackstone outdoor griddle is a versatile cooking amenity, where you can make a full breakfast spread, delicious fajitas, and really anything in between.
This is a somewhat remote high desert area, with all that entails. There are birds, bugs, and lots of other wildlife around. You may hear coyotes singing late at night or early in the morning.
The last 1.5 miles of the drive are on a maintained dirt road. You don't need 4WD or a lifted vehicle to get here, although you may need it for other areas of Taos.
The guest cabin shares the 10 acres with the main house, where we live. If we're out of town, other guests may be staying in the main house. The cabin and house are well separated by both a large garage and latilla privacy fences.
The cabin is dog friendly, as we have two of our own and know the challenges of traveling with dogs.

Beautifully built and designed cabin with all the comforts of home! I stayed a week in the Rainbow Connection and had a wonderful time. Flawless access to wifi, electricity, hot water, and plumbing, 10/10 would recommend for Taos glamping!

3 nights at Casa de KAMA (The Silo)
We loved staying at the Silo! It served as a great base camp for our adventures throughout the weekend. It’s a short drive from Santa Fe and Taos and surrounded by a ton of outdoor recreation areas. The space itself had everything we needed - fully stocked kitchen, bathroom with a shower, and a comfortable bed. It’s also secluded and offers great solitude surrounded by nature. We briefly crossed paths with Pat who was very friendly and welcoming. We would happily stay again and suggest this stay to everyone!

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.

Loved this tiny getaway home and how close it was to Taos attractions! The home itself is very nice and comfortable. We were 4 adults (including 2 seniors) and a child and it was perfect! Since there are several homes on the property, we will consider coming back next time with friends!

Weekend Trip to Casa de KAMA (The Silo)
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!

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.

AIYM Camp is an amazing place; I highly recommend it. It’s a beautiful setting, every aspect of the facilities is in amazing condition, clean, functional and seems brand new. But, what really made our stay special was the hospitality of Jim and Melony. The are so warm and welcoming, giving us insight about the valley and activities in the area. This is a special place that we plan on returning to. I give it my highest recommendation.
