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.
*No cell service in the greater area. Wifi available around the house for calling and texting.

Escape to the backcountry and enjoy peace, solitude and modern amenities! Waking up and walking out to the patio opens up panoramic views of the surrounding 13,000'+ mountains and adjoining vallies. This cabin is NOT for the faint of heart - it's 30+ miles from the nearest paved road and REQUIRES a high clearance 4x4 vehicle (a Subaru will NOT make it) or side-by-side in order to access the property safely. Please inquire to ensure your vehicle will be sufficient BEFORE booking :)

Weekend Trip to Pagosa Qi Camps
We had an awesome time at the cabin for Memorial Day, really private, tranquil, and so close to the springs. The cabin was great - two floors with ladder leading to the second floor. Showers, bathroom and kitchen next door. Many thanks to our hosts who were very responsive, and gave us the space to enjoy our time in Pagosa.

My boyfriend and I spent one night in one of the cabins on Nikki's land. Facilities were clean and as described and Nikki was excellent at communicating. I would suggest a 4WD car with some clearance, especially if it's raining or snowing because it's a longer drive on a dirt road. Overall great stay!

This spot was a dream for me. Cabin is comfy but doesn’t feel too small. Master bed is truly wonderful. Adjustable and with a dreamy mattress.
We spent most of the time on the porch painting and reading and playing fetch with our labradoodle, who was in heaven.
We were mostly unaware of neighbors or much nearby activity. Merlin app caught so many new birds.
I hope to return soon.

What a gorgeous cozy secluded cabin in the woods! We had such a great stay. We enjoyed the watching the birds at the feeders, saw Steller’s jays, Mexican jays and magpies to name a few! Very quiet. Loved making fires outside, and using the wood stove inside. Kitchen fully stocked, even has some items you may need like spices, coffee, oil, condiments,… very friendly helpful hosts. Strongly recommend! It was my favorite place we rented during our holiday road trip.

Hi
I have been out in Prescott Arizona for about a year, I am at WILLOWCREEK CAMPGROUND on 89 A.
I was raided on Raven Street And Joined the NAVY USA and its really great to come back to some childhood places. I am Laura Ann Weaver now age 53 and Myself and my Sons Father, Ronald Joseph Bonecki Jr used to play in the trail and in the rocks bird hunting and water wading. I can say it still has the great hike trails and there is also use of water boats and frizbee golf.
I am out at camp sight 34 today and thought i would say the weather is fantastic for a sail and also that the campground is clean and very affordable for $20.00 a night with a shower number on your camp ticket..
THANKS PRESCOTT ARIZONA!
