Such a lovely host, we had a late arrival so Kate made videos to ensure we found our site. The yurt was so beautiful and we had more than everything we could need.

Kate's place is beautiful, clean, amazing. She is a wonderful host, very responsive and gives very clear instructions to get to her place. Would definitely come back. And most definitely recommend to anyone who doesn't mind being completely off the grid.

Kate continues to be just the best host possible! This was my second visit to her yurt and she was so helpful and generous in giving me the best tips for hiking, art browsing, and even river access to cool off on the hot June day! The yurt also continues to be a fantastic place to rest, recharge, center, think. The light in the space is gorgeous and amplified by the pretty cloths Kate has thoughtfully draped around the windows. Also, I used the outdoor shower - fantastic!! Booked my third stay for the fall and I can't wait - thank you Kate!

This was such a beautiful spot. We visited here on our cross country road trip and had such a perfect stay. Kate is so prepared, kind and responsive. We had everything we needed during our stay. The yurt is so comfortable and beautiful, I would definitely recommend staying here!!

The bohemian yurt was cozy. It’s equipped with everything necessary. The bed is comfortable and if you like stargazing this is the place for it! Kate was exceptionally accommodating. She took the time to tell us a little bit about the land and shared recommendations for spectacular views. Good vibes for sure. We hope to return sometime!

What a magical place! The views are truly stunning in every direction. So many colors and forms. The place feels so private because of the numerous juniper, but Kate is nearby, responsive, and so generous and kind if you need anything.
The yurt kitchen includes a cooler, camp stove, pot, manual coffee maker, small kettle, coffee, tea, oil, salt, pepper, two sets of cutlery, a small knife, and two plates, bowls, and mugs. Kate provides drinking water and wash water/basin - very helpful!
I would absolutely stay again except in the height of summer. There is little shade and the yurt can get warm in the sun if there’s not a good wind for a cross breeze. I’m really glad I had a chance to stay here, and I’m so appreciative that Kate has this listing!

I’ve been traveling around for 2 weeks and this was the best I’ve slept so far. It was deeply peaceful and felt sacred and protected. I’d rather be there right now.

I fell in love with this place the moment I arrived. So magical. The views for days, and the creativity in the yurt were all so amazing. I even enjoyed a short outdoor shower with a view!! Kate is so welcoming and kind. This is a must do, especially if you're into a dark night sky!! I also enjoyed reading one of the books that was in the yurt (and I do not take time to read a lot). Ever so grateful for my time spent time there. Many thanks!

Kate was a lovely host! This was such a magical stay for my friend and I! We have been getting together and making art and music for over 30 years. This was so perfect for us to get off the beaten path, experience stunning views, and great hikes in between painting and music sessions! My first ever yurt stay was everything I could have asked for! Thank you Kate!

A great experience. Kate’s love and respect for the land shines through. Her beautiful sense of hospitality is expressed in each decision of the unique space she has cultivated. I felt welcomed and appreciated. After a taxing couple days in the wilds of NM, this yurt was the perfect spot to rest, reflect, and recover. I hope to return again someday.

This is a lovely rustic experience. I am camper at heart and this is the perfect inbetween for a Glamp Camp experience.
The road up the mountain is steep but doable. I made it up in my old loaded SUV easy. Just take it slow it’s bumpy.
The yurt is spacious and dreamy. Kate had a great eclectic vibe. The camp kitchenette was humble and charming. You can expect fresh drinking water and little pot to wash your dishes. There is a little propane rocket stove to heat your water for coffee and she supplies a cooler but you have to byob ice. 🧊
I stayed on a cool night and the propane heater kept us warm. I piled the blankets on thick and turned it off around midnight to avoid any CO2 issues. When I got up at dawn the yurt was cold! But it didn’t take long for that tiny propane heater to warm things up again.
Outside there is a composting bucket toilet. If you really wanted to you could probably leave the door open for a poo with a view.
The shower area is modest and breezy. I didn’t take one as my bucket of water was cold and I was in a hurry to head out.
I brought my pup and Kate’s dog 🐕 and my pup played so well. Late evening showed me a great hike. I’m so grateful for my stay !
Lots of rest and rest and reset. Thanks Kate.

Amazing views, breathtaking sunsets and stargazing. Chilly outside, but the yurt was fairly well-insulated and there was a wood stove inside (complete with all fire-starting equipment), a large propane heater and plenty of high-quality blankets; you will not be cold, despite it’s spaciousness! There was a kitchen area, handwashing station and small backpacking stove for cooking. We also enjoyed her thoughtful selection of books. The outdoor shower area was unavailable for use at that time, but we didn’t miss it. The composting toilet was completely enclosed for privacy. Every area of this glamping experience has been pragmatically considered, not only for utility but also aesthetic design. We felt very safe there. You can tell how much reverence Kate has for her land and we are thankful for the beautiful experience.

Yurt was lovely, private and quiet! Kate is very attentive, easy to reach, and helpful! A great place to get away and find some peace.

What a special place! From Kate’s warm
greeting and yurt orientation, to the beautiful views, to the amazing decor in the yurt, this trip was exactly what i needed for a weekend of solitude. It was cold (in the 20s at night) and the stove and amazing blankets kept me cozy. I can’t wait to come back - and even booked my next trip here already! Thank you to Kate for opening up your place to visitors!

I loved this place so much! My girlfriend and I made a pit stop here on a cross country road trip to stargaze and it was AMAZING! so beautiful and Kate was very helpful with all of our needs! It’s so quiet and peaceful at night. You can see the Milky Way Galaxy and many different constellations.

I was in awe of the views from Kate's place. The yurt is super cozy and private, hidden in the junipers. All the details were as listed and Kate was really helpful pointing out sites to see on our hikes. This is a great home base when exploring Abiquiu.
