If you're looking for a quick stay while passing through Albuquerque, I have a spot for you! I'm in the process of putting back together and repairing a small house, and in the meantime, it makes for great indoor camping. There’s no shower, but the toilet and hot water work. It’s pretty bare-bones — that’s why I call it camping — but there’s a bed, a table, and some chairs. Pets are okay too! I’m about 3 miles from Old Town.

Brad and Ciana welcome you to the Santa Fe Treehouse Camp & Wilderness Preserve, managed by The Wilderness Institute. The camp was founded 40 years ago as a summer camp for kids. We continue to offer camps for children and their parents and grandparents (family camps), as well as welcome adults and other groups to enjoy the vast and wild high desert nature up on this ridge. Register for our nature education activities and resources lead by The Wilderness Institute (available for all of our guests). These topics include sustainability, recycling, composting, water conservation, wildfire prevention, outdoor safety, and nature awareness along with the use of our hiking trails. You can also join an archery class, tomahawk throwing, climbing on the mobile climbing wall, Yoga, Qigong, Climbing Into The Heart of the Mother Tree, Star talks and more! There are beautiful views and access to Shaggy Peak, the southernmost tip of the Rocky Mountains and the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range. Wander our land to enjoy various level hiking trails including a 20 minute hike to a creek and waterfall in the forest (some steep spots and creek is intermittent) or climb up Shaggy Peak (seasoned hikers only please). IMPORTANT: We are up 1.3 miles of dirt road (with 5-7+% grade in a few short stretches) and are not near public transportation so you will need your own vehicle! Be aware that the roads can be snowy, icy or muddy and rutted ( 4-wheel or All-trak recommended in certain times of year). We don’t guarantee the road will be plowed. We generally close for the season due to cold weather around Halloween and reopen just before Memorial Day. This is a non-smoking, no candle facility.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Indoor Camping

This was the perfect spot for my quick trip to Albuquerque. Tara was great with communication and the space was super cozy. Everything you might need for a good night's rest or more if you're needing a warm, safe, comfortable place to hang. The location is perfect for whatever your adventure brings, easy access to key spots on the city and beyond. Tara kindly provided bedding and the house has all the things you might need (minus a shower as she thoughtfully advertised). A great alternative to a vacation rental and better than camping (no gear required). Such a great offering!

Weekend Trip to Secluded Indoor Camping

Tara is a gracious host and I love staying at her place at the end of a dead end road. It was way more than indoor camping and the best deal in Albuquerque in my opinion. There is a microwave, small fridge, small coffee pot, toast oven and temperature controlled space. Tara is an interesting person too!

Tara's place was more than I had hoped for for a place to sleep during the balloon festival and adventures around Albuquerque. It's in a quiet neighborhood and near old town. She provided a comfy bed, extra bedding, dining table and chairs, microwave, toaster oven, small fridge, kitchen sink and toilet. If you have extra people she'll also provide an extra mattress. Remember to bring mosquito repellent, as there are many mosquitos in the area.

Tara's place was great. Very clean and good vibes. Such a great idea to use the space whilst renovating. I stayed with my two toddlers and they loved it. We were going to camp in a field in town but we had to move quick and saved the effort of our camping gear. Location is super central, close to downtown, old town and baloon fiesta park. The area was very quiet and peaceful too.

Tara's home was a welcoming space, just as she described. She even checked with me before accepting my booking to see if I would feel comfortable. She's put some thoughtful touches into making the home inviting and cozy. It is rustic and under renovation. Very cute and bikeable area of Albuquerque not far from the river.

1 night at Santa Fe Ridgetop Oasis - Hike In

Loved being able to hike in, and my dogs getting to run free on the property. It was so quiet, I was disoriented for a bit. I only stayed for a night, but would stay longer in the future to take advantage of the land navigation and other similar features. Really kind host, and cozy space. Gravel road on the way in, but I drive a Camaro and had no issues

We loved our time at this cabin! It was so unique and different than other spots we’ve stayed at. The hike made it extra special and gave us the privacy we were looking for. Lynne has the cabin supplied with everything you will need. It’s very cozy and we even had a big storm come through one night. We felt very safe and secure enjoy it from inside! The sunsets on the ridge are beautiful. And our dog loved having her own yard to hang out in. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Lynne!

Weekend Trip to ATV Loft Belen, NM Mountain view

This is a uniquely remote cabin, in the middle of gorgeous desert scrub land. It is very obviously a passion project, with interesting touches like decorative flourishes and all sorts of available solar stuff. I didn't partake, but there are even axe throwing and archery activities available. I arrived late in the evening after sunset, and got lost, but that is wholly on me. Nesta was very attentive to making sure I made it safely. The drive in was an adventure for my small hatchback but we made it. The views are magnificent, and the sleeping arrangements are as noted in the listing. Definitely pay attention to the weather and wind advisories. The wind when I went was very strong, like wind-alerts across the state strong, and scattered some of the amenities. I told Nesta immediately and she was very responsive. Also understand that you're in a fairly wild area. I heard coyotes yapping, which delights me but may concern some. I also saw two large jackrabbits. I'm sure if it had been later in the year I'd've seen at least evidence of snakes and other critters. Read the listing completely, follow the directions provided, and you will enjoy this little remote off-grid cabin.

We had a great couple of nights at Lynne’s ridge top stay. A beautiful and quiet property with great sunsets. Our two dogs loved wondering around with us along the many paths. The hike in gives this stay a nice location for those seeking solitude. Definitely a special stay
