Stellar, Southwest, Luxury home. Extraordinary location on Abiquiu Lake House in New Mexico

About this house rental

Situated in New Mexico, this charming house for $308 per night is a great option for your next break. 'Breathtaking,' 'Fabulous,' 'Stellar,' 'Magical' - Casa del Rio, a unique southwestern home awaits those who seek a glimpse into what the West was like – before it was “won.” Casa del Rio offers timeless views of the Rio Chama, Abiquiu Lake, Ghost Ranch - with no other habitation to confound the imagination. The house rests on a mesa about 100 feet above the narrowest part of the Rio Chama, just before it empties into Abiquiu Lake. Guests of the Casa enjoy limited access to the private lakefront. Four circles of stones (tipi rings) found on the land are silent proof that these vistas have been enjoyed by people for hundreds of years. Inside the 1500 square foot house, you will find all the luxuries and amenities of the 21st century. An open floor plan includes a great room, dining area, and kitchen; all under hand-hewn vigas harvested from the San Juan forest. Leather couches, swivel chair, Taos-made furniture - all make it a pleasure to take in the ever changing landscape in any direction. (Be sure to catch the dawn when the morning light descends upon the water). Hand painted retablo and santos, Navaho and Zapotec rugs, prints by RC Gorman, and Georgia O'Keefe all enhance the experience of being immersed in the southwest. The kitchen features granite countertops, energy saving appliances, and an island with cooktop. A 42” LED satellite TV, WiFi, and soundbar provide connection to the modern world. (for those who must) Soft foam, queen size mattresses, resort quality bedding ensure your night’s rest – so you can be prepared for your next day’s adventure... Located in the heart of the Piedra Lumbre (Valley of the Shining Stones) Casa del Rio was designed for outdoor living. Covered portales on the east, north, and west sides provide shade from the ever bright New Mexico sun. The concave shape of the house provides shelter from wind and wraps around an additional 800 square feet of a Colorado red flagstone courtyard. On the courtyard, or under the portal, you will find; a three-burner gas grill, two lounge chairs, a love seat, and table and dining chairs for four. To complete your Abiquiu experience there is an outdoor hot tub positioned for panoramic river and mountain views. For those who prefer, there is also a two-person, heart-shaped bath. Full moon nights are so bright you can see colors on the walls of the river canyon. On moonless nights the stars seem so close you could almost reach up and touch them... Regarding the coronavirus, I would like my guests to know that I take the pandemic very seriously. In addition to already high standards for cleanliness, all surface areas and commonly touched objects like keys, doorknobs, TV remote, etc. are cleaned and disinfected between visits. The waters of Abiquiu provide an important resting place for migratory birds; a virtual oasis in a land of desert and mountains. Eagles, osprey, geese, and many other species take time to have their needs met on their way to other destinations. Perhaps this description may one day apply to you!

We spent Thanksgiving week here and had an amazing time. The views were out of this world. Gordon's place is a little piece of paradise and we can't wait to come back in the summer when we can enjoy the lake more.

This was hands down the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed at. The view was incredible, home was clean and comfortable, location was quiet and peaceful, exactly what we needed! Add in the hot tub and it was perfection! Gordon has a magical property and we are so thankful he’s willing to share the experience with others!

The panoramic views from every window in the home really are spectacular! Comfortable seating on each patio allows for enjoying the outside from sunrise to sunset and provides a terrific place to enjoy the gorgeous night sky. Gordon makes guests feel welcome and works to accommodate special requests. His home never disappoints.

The location is remote and beautiful. The house inside is very nice and wonderfully decorated, but some of the furniture is starting to show its age - particularly the beds and pillows could be upgraded. We were unlucky to be there on an extremely windy weekend, so were not able to enjoy being outside like we would have liked. If there is a non windy season in NM I would recommend visiting then…just bad luck for us.

We had a wonderful week! Gordon was very helpful and responded quickly every time we tried to reach him. The directions were clear and everything was as advertised or better! The house was clean and beautiful! We loved having an extra bathroom, an ice maker and so many windows. Our favorite thing was easily the hot tub. We spent many hours in it watching the wildlife, the stars and the snow. We will certainly be back and hopefully for longer than a week!

Absolutely beautiful view! Be ready to be mesmerized by the beauty surrounding you! Star gazing is out of this world. The home is cozy, the beds are comfy and you have everything you need to prepare a meal. Loved the remote setting. Definitely a place to unplug from the world. Hot tub was amazing and relaxing. Can’t wait to come back!!!

Although more than I normally pay for a vacation rental, every cent was worth it! The remote Location, the views, the peace and quiet, the well appointed home made my short weekend with my favorite sister and our favorite friend just 100% perfect. Gordon was very amenable to our check in/check out requests. Sometimes communication with him was a bit delayed, but Always thorough. The Wi-Fi worked, but seemed slow and minimal. But that was perfect for our desires as it was a weekend to unplug and connect with each other. A great place to be! Very clean, very comfortable, very beautiful

Little slice of heaven!

We had an amazing time during our stay! It was great to have a dip in the hot tub after a long day off hiking or exploring. The location felt like you were miles from anyone. The only sound was the birds chirping. You can see Ghost Ranch from the porch and understand why Georgia O'Keeffe made her home in this area. We got passes for Ghost Ranch two days because it was a short 30 min drive for day long fun. Hope to be back again!
