This property delivered on its description, photos and natural setting. You are truly private at the end of a paved road that becomes gravel in a couple of miles. Very little traffic with the only night noise being that of occasional coyotes howling.
This two bedroom (one king and one queen) one-level ranch had everything one needed for a comfortable stay. Its high elevation provided cool temperatures at night even on warm days. Opening windows provided cross-ventilation.
The kitchen was one of the best VRBO's we have ever stayed in with plenty of utensils, good knives, loads of pots and pans, crock pot. Washer & dryer also on site. The cleaning crew leaves current dated condiments in the refrigerator door (ketchup, mustard, etc.) so you may want to check before purchasing groceries. The grocery store in Angel Fire (8 miles away) was more than adequate to provide provisions for a week's stay.
The roomy space with two sofas and a cushioned chair, along with a huge dining table and six chairs comfortably accommodated two adult couples. The entire ranch house was extremely clean and nicely furnished. Internet and cell phones were sketchy, but we were aware of that going in. A public library in Angel Fire offered internet services, if needed. We brought along DVD's to watch movies some evenings and other times we gazed at stars and the full moon showing her face during our visit.
Wildlife was abundant! I filled up an available hummingbird feeder and we enjoyed the feisty hummingbirds competing for nectar. We saw rabbits, chipmunks, nesting birds in eaves, deer, elk and as mentioned, heard coyotes. Two ponds close by attracted waterfowl and otters.
We used the property as a base from which to take several day trips, one day traveling as far as Santa Fe to attend a cooking school. Angel Fire hosts a free public concert Fridays early evening next to the Visitor's Center. The Angel Fire Golf Course was a favorite of my husband's and the Angel Fire chair lift enjoyed by all.
Edward May was prompt to respond and easy to work with. You will not be disappointed in this rental, if you are after a relaxing time enjoying nature in a beautiful mountain setting.
