Two Hawk Ranch is comprised of 12 acres of high mountain valley meadows, hay fields, Acequias, trees and the Rio Chiquito. Yes, we are located at approximately 7,800ft elevation. My husband and I stumbled across this beautiful and serene property by accident in 2020 just as Covid hit. We feel blessed to be here and feel the need to share it’s calming, restful qualities. We have three adult children and have three grandchildren. We also have eight international children as we hosted international students for four years. You are welcome to come sit by the fire and be social or just do your own thing. Learn more about this land: Sites located across the property for up to 8 groups. The RV camping is located near one of our horse corrals and above our irrigation Acequia, above or next to the house, or in the field down by the arena after haying is complete (usually after the first week of July as long as the rain cooperates). Can back in or pull through and has 110v power nearby. No water to hook up to, but we can fill your tanks via hose by the house or arena. Other sites available if you don’t need power, or have a generator. Property is within a 100yds of national forest service that gives access to off-roading, hiking, biking, horse riding, fishing, and winter snowshoeing, cross country skiing, etc. We are located just off the High Road to Taos in Llano, 29 miles south of Taos and 55 miles north of Santa Fe. We are eight miles from Ski Sipapu and eight miles from Rio Santa Barbara Canyon. Your well-behaved pets are welcome. We also have one great dane (Raggy), a great dane mix (The Morrigan), one ranch cat (Sasha) and four horses (Gentry, Shadow, Mattie & Jr G). The dogs are a rescue of some kind. The Morrigan is black, 3.5 yrs old and comes out of a rescue in AZ. She went in with her litter as a 5 month old puppy, and she came here about a year later. She is reticent and suspicious, so ignore her and she will come up to you on her own; continue to ignore her. Ragnar (Raggy) is our most recent rescue and is from Las Cruces. He's 3 yrs old and a merle. He suffers from anxiety and fears children. We are working him through his fears, and he is doing really well. The weather here tends to run cooler, as we are located in the mountains in a small valley at approximately 7,800 ft above sea level. In the spring through fall, temps will average from mid 40°F up to mid 60°F at night and mid 60°F up to mid 90°F during the day. Temps can get into the 100°F's in the summer, but that is rare. Generally if the sun is out, it is warm or hot even tho the actual temps are not. It's a high-altitude affect. The opposite is true as well. Cloud cover will feel cooler. We also experience monsoon style rains that occur in the afternoon generally starting in July and running into August or later. In the late fall through early spring during winter, the average temps usually run from 0°F up to mid 20°F at night with occasional dips into negative temps and in the day generally run from mid 20°F up to the mid 40°F range. Same as above - if the sun is out, it will feel warmer, etc. We do hay the fields, so we may have tractor activity going on in the late spring and early summer. In the winter we will be clearing snow from the roads and feeding hay. Can't wait to see everyone this year!Sites located across the property for up to 8 groups.

4WD recommended

Most sites are 2WD vehicle accessible or within a minute or two walk. 4WD helps if it rains or snow, but isn't absolutely necessary. The terraces are now only walk in available. We had so much rain last year that the road access has crumbled down to small vehicle access only (like our tractor). To access the area below the main acequia, a 12 foot culvert crossing is available. This will take you to the fields, arena, terraces and river.

Sherry's campsite offers a peaceful and picturesque setting with plenty of animal companionship, from friendly dogs to calm horses that add to the serene atmosphere. Guests appreciate the warm hospitality and helpfulness of Sherry and Dennis, who make communication easy and stay enjoyable. The location is ideal for campers looking to be close to nature with beautiful views and stargazing opportunities. Some campers noted the shared use of the bathroom and water hose, which might not be convenient for everyone, but the overall experience remains positive and welcoming.

Wonderful time with Sherry and Denis. Beautiful place. The dogs were the best! Our dog Cooper really enjoyed hanging out with all of them. Thanks for allowing us access to your bathroom at any time. That really made things handy. We loved the secludedness as well. Everything we needed.😊

Fun stay with great views!

16 ft travel trailer

Sherry and Dennis were very easy to communicate with and super helpful (to include lending me a small bike pump)! At first I was intimidated by the dogs but they were super friendly and we became besties in no time! I also got a visit from their sweet barn cat at least once a day! But the steal of the show was waking up every morning to those lovely horses! Their calm demeanor and loving energy just made the stay that much more enjoyable. I stayed for 3 nights and would come back in a heartbeat for those views and all the animal love 💕

Incredible Host, Views and Animals

24 ft campervan

We loved our time with Sherry and her animals while we worked out of our camper during the week. She was an incredible host and we even managed to take a horseback ride one day after work. It was an incredibly beautiful area and we had plenty of shade. We’re so grateful for our time there. Thank you, Sherry!

Very quiet place and perfect host

16 ft pop-up camper

Perfect welcome from Sherry. Our arrival was made easy from the moment we booked until we left. The place is buccolic and charming. The sunrises are particularly beautiful. Electricity is provided, but if you're a bit squeamish, the water hose, although potable, is the same as the one used to water the horses. The horses are quiet and curious. Quiet and peaceful, the temperature is changeable but cool and pleasant. A good base camp for activities in Taos.
