Nestled in the bosque of the Abiquiu valley, filled with tall, majestic cotton woods and softly fragrant Russian olives. At sunset, the sky opens up to amazing beauty and the swallows begin their nightly swooping over the river.
Very near by are locally owned cafes and historic places to visit. The Abiquiu valley is filled with music, arts, studio tours, spas, hot springs, lake recreation, fishing, hikes, and so so many spectacular things to see and experience. Some nearby highlights include Abiquiu lake, Plaza Blanca and Ghost Ranch, with many hidden gems in between.
Reach out to us if you have any questions about local activities.
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.

This glamp zone occupies only 1.25 acres. Part of our mission in creating this space is to bring folks together. We encourage campers to mingle. Maybe organize a group float down the Chama.

Lush high desert river oasis on three acres, nestled in a fertile valley in Carson National Forest, right between the fiery expanse of Taos and the rolling colorful formations of Abiquiu. Peaceful, private and serene land right by the river at the edge of a little quaint town called La Madera (145 people)- just 6 miles to the healing mineral Hot Springs of Ojo Caliente, a place of emergence or rebirth as known to the local Natives.
At the moment we have five options 1) Spacious, cozy, and private Vintage Camper that can be heated, with kitchen, electricity and plenty of outdoor furniture with a fire pit and serene mountain views. 2) A Gazebo Tree shaded campsite for tents only, with fire pit, outdoor seating and the tranquil sounds of the gently flowing river in the background. 3) The Riverside Gypsy Wagon with electric, heat and kitchen, 4) The Riverside Campsite for tents, and 5) If you would like to bring your own camper/or tent we have a Willow brush enclosed meadow with stunning views.
You can go on a panoramic ridge hike right off the property, or just relax by the flowing creek, or listen to the bird symphonies. Some campsites have access to a guest bathroom inside the main house, others have private outhouses.
🌿🌿🌿 We offer DOG SITTING so you can relax at the Springs, or PRIVATE MASSAGE here on the land with the senior therapist from Ojo Hot Springs for less $$$ - check out the Extras. 🌿🌿🌿
The land is beautifully wild with lots of animal life. The dirt rd down to the property is best suited for higher clearance vehicles, but is manageable for city cars. If you're pulling your trailer/camper you'll need 4W.
With land by the river comes the mosquitos- June to August. They are predominantly active during sunrise and sunset; long loose fitting clothes and/or 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.

We have very good well water. Drinking water filtration is through Waterdrop Reverse Osmosis Water Purification System G3P600: pre-RO carbon and particulate filter, then RO, then post-RO carbon filter, then UV sterilization, then remineralization… you get the safest water that “tastes” great! Conserve drinking water by using direct well water for other purposes — also safe, but does not use up the filtering and conditioning resources.

The Fool is the zero card in the Tarot deck. This distinct energy holds wild potential for novel connection and adventure. A Fool is in the moment ~ having access to childlike wonder and the ability to move without judgment or tension. This beautiful spot can similarly inspire, encourage and shake up visitors.
This listing is part of an ever growing project, which aims to create a playful, off-grid space to retreat, create and gather with loved ones. The listing currently includes the garden outhouse, meditation dome and access to mesa roads for long walks or bike rides. There is one available bus and the site is private.
We are open again after a long hiatus of building!
Located in El Prado, surrounded by rolling sage and mountain views. It’s around the corner from the Toas Mesa Mothership, 10mins to the Gorge bridge, 20mins to central Taos and 30(ish) to the ski valley, rock climbing and wild hot springs.
If you’ve never visited a high mesa desert: plan for extreme variations in weather and horizon to horizon views, the likes of which only found at sea. These 5 acres, tucked at the end of a road feel quite wild, despite proximity to town and the regional airport, which does create noise/light pollution. Even so, most find the roaring silence both intense and soothing.
The main house is well apart from the bus site and each area has its own privacy and full views.
Artists, crafty folk, builders, visionaries, caretakers, medicine folk, permaculture heads, and anyone else interested in partial or full trade for stay; please contact us!

Weekend Trip to Santa Fe Treehouse Camp & Wilderness Preserve
My daughter and I were in need of a much-needed getaway, and this was exactly what we were looking for. The owners were welcoming, friendly, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.
The grounds were well-maintained, peaceful, and quiet. The other campers were also very friendly, which added to the relaxing atmosphere. One of my favorite parts of the trip was waking up early, enjoying a cup of coffee, and watching the sunrise.
We stayed in Tent 16, which was spacious and comfortable. I especially appreciated how close the restrooms and showers were to our site. This was the first campsite where I didn't hesitate to leave the tent in the middle of the night to use the restroom.
As two women traveling alone, feeling safe is very important to us, and we felt completely comfortable and secure throughout our stay. We truly enjoyed our time here and look forward to returning.

We loved our time at the ranch. The hosts were super friendly and quick to respond to any queries. Everything was exactly as described. Deb was super gracious and invited our teenage daughter to go wrangle some cows with them which she was super happy to participate in. The dog and cats were friendly and came to visit us. The tipi experience was great. We had a good view of the night sky and the Milky Way. The hosts even had a telescope for us to use. We also ate at the restaurant in town that Deb and Gil own and the food was really good. We would definitely stay there again.

Bear Paw Cabin was exactly what I had hoped for and more! It offered peace and solitude, all the comforts of home, plus unexpected treasures (like the bird seed and feeders!). Words cannot describe how amazing the night sky views are from the upper deck. The host was phenomenal with communication and hospitality.
I used the cabin as a last stop before heading to camp in Chaco and it was perfect. Now, I hope to return with my daughter, so we can experience Bear Paw Cabin magic together.

This place was fantastic! Some of the best hosts we’ve had. The place was beautiful and fun! The hosts were fantastic with communication and help when we needed it. They were giving and kind. They had firewood for us and drinking water. Offered ice for the cooler and chatted with us a bit. We brought our kids and the hosts were understanding that kids are loud! The place itself was a little life of heaven and a perfect getaway. Plenty of blankets and the pellet stove was so helpful for night. They even came to work on it to make sure we were warm one of the nights it wasn’t working or we couldn’t figure it out quite right. So grateful. Fantastic experience and we can’t wait to plan our next trip up.

It was such a dream staying at Jayme and Doug’s property. Being so close to everything, yet giving you the privacy and seclusion in the mountains.
They did a great job providing everything you need and more, while being very communicative and being there to help.

3 nights at Santa Fe Treehouse Camp & Wilderness Preserve
It was lovely to stay in the yurt. We were two adults, a teenager and a toddler and it was comfortable to have three beds to comfortably accommodate all (and also have a heater for cold nights). Lovely flat walks around the campground and into the forest. The host and care taker were friendly. Very convenient to have the well equipped kitchen with stove, oven, toaster oven, etc. when with children. Only 25 minutes away from convenient stores (like Trader Joe), yet camping in nature.

We had a great time camping with our pup in the Tecolote Cabin! Tecolote #1 had a range of bed options so we could choose our comfort level and amazing views to wake up to! We enjoyed hiking the trails around property, using the clean facilities including the small kitchen to make coffee in the morning and getting to meet the other guests. Ciana and Jonathan were so communicative and helpful and we felt very well taken care of! We look forward to staying in the future and maybe trying out one of the tents or other cabins!

1 night at Sleeping Bear Canyon
My stay in the cabins at Nikki & Michael’s land was very pleasant. I was making a cross country trip and choosing to book here helped my journey to be a relaxing one. Thank you to Nikki for her hospitality and for setting me up for the night with my dog. The land is absolutely beautiful

Great experience and very kind hosts. Debbie and Gil greeted us with a camp fire going and the pellet stove in the tipi warm. The grounds are lovely: horses, green grass, a stream and an open landscape within the Carson National Forest. Beds and blankets were comfortable and the tipi had all of the basic amenities for cooking. A bag of ice and drinkable water were provided. Great stay!

1 night at Sleeping Bear Canyon
Beautiful little spot along the Cañones creek. Quite magical. Niki was very nice, and her pup Fennel was a sweetheart, who came to visit often. The cabin was super cute and comfortable. A+
