Mountain Cabin Retreat FAST WiFi, Ski Sipapu,Hike, Hunt,Fish,Art, Taos, Santa Fe

Huge deck with propane grill, table and chairs & hummingbird feeders. Backyard creek with hammocks, picnic tables, chairs, & fire pit.
Well stocked kitchen includes coffee maker w/ coffee, toaster, Keurig, blender, crock pot, electric skillet, mixer, food processor, ricer/steamer, citrus juicer, cake pans, muffin pans and cookie sheets. Refrigerator with ice maker.
Gas heat and wood stove with romantic glass doors. Plenty of firewood.
Lots of free strawberry plants.

Ice cold streams run through timbered mountains. Find your quiet space and enjoy the peace, clean air, dark, starry nights. Leave the mundane things of life behind and discover yourself, your own thoughts and feelings. The back yard is the main attraction for us at Mountain Cabin Retreat. The grass surrounding the creek, the bridge where we sat and dangled our feet in the cold mountain stream, imagining family gatherings around the campfire. The first step through the front door said, “Welcome home”. During our many years here, we have done a lot of remodeling. The quality workmanship is evident the moment you step through the entry door. The wood stove mesmerizes, lighting and warming the hardwood floor. The coved log ceiling beams, called vigas, reflect centuries old architecture. The quiet speaks of reflection on today, yesterday, and tomorrow, on life and purpose. The dark skies look back through millenniums of time and displays an eternity of celestial bodies. Yes, we warmly invite you to come and experience the alluring appeal of Mountain Cabin Retreat.
The 1400 sq. ft. make for a spacious 2-bedroom house. All rooms are large. The cozy, comfy living room has the wood stove with plenty of firewood. TV’s with ROKU, DVD and VCR players are in the living room and the Buffalo Room. The Buffalo Room also serves as an additional sleeping area. There is also the opportunity for wildlife viewing from the Buffalo Room and the dining room. Many times we have seen elk, coyote, birds and more. The hummingbirds are a real attraction at the feeders on the deck.
Special note: bedroom 2 is accessed through master bedroom. Both have queen beds.
The Buffalo Room is on the opposite side of the house, making it quite private from the master bedroom and bedroom 2, and has a sofa bed, futon and a single bed.
No smoking is allowed in the house. Designated outside smoking areas are provided. The last 1 mile to the house is a gravel road that is well maintained by the county road department.

Dirt road to quiet and privacy. Cool evenings . About 45 minutes to Taos which has great food and the Taos Cow. Wife loves the shopping (e.g.Moxie). Josey had a fenced yard and a creek to splash in. We have multiple stays here and the owners have become like family.

Perfect Mountain Home
We loved staying at Jim and Mari Lu's home in the mountains above Santa Fe. We came for the feast day celebrations at Picuris Pueblo, for the weaving in Chimayo, and for hiking in Bandolier National Monument, all of which are easy to access, as are Taos and Santa Fe, which gave us all kinds of options. The home is on a safe, quiet mountain road, with a lovely creek out back and hammocks we took full advantage of. It is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, the coffee machine is stocked, and the WiFi is strong. Jim and Mari Lu, who offered homemade salsa to welcome us, were the perfect hosts, unobtrusive but available when we needed them. The "neighborhood" is very quiet, and the night sky is an astronomer's dream. We look forward to returning.

Great Getaway
Cute little house not too far from Sipapu and Taos. We had a group of 7 ppl and we all loved it. We got to see snowfall at the cabin and it was gorgeous, especially over the back yard. Everything was well stocked, we love having the washer and dryer and the wood stove was nice as well. There isn't a lot in the area so we cooked at the cabin a lot and the only thing we missed was a dishwasher. The host are awesome and readily available if you need anything. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Great property with fantastic views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The space was large and well stocked with everything we needed. In addition, there were VCR and DVD players with a wide range of movies that came in handy after a long day spent skiing (in addition to streaming television access). Great location that offered a fantastic view. We will be staying again!

Snowboarding trip
As I would love to rate this home 5 stars, I cannot. Cleanliness: We arrived well past check-in to find the couple cleaning. The toilet had not been cleaned among other things such as dishes in the sink. Being that they were in the home this made CHECK IN quite awkward, but simple. They were apologetic and left a bottle of wine. Listing accuracy: Everything is as pictured, however I wish I'd known the 2 bedrooms are conjoined and there is not much privacy as you must go into ones room to get to the bathroom. I feel that this is important information. Communication: there was over communication in the sense that the home owners popped in and out randomly which made me very uncomfortable and was a complete invasion of privacy. Cake was brough while we were in the middle of dinner at the table which was sweet but it felt like more like we were being watched. They also came by while we were gone during the day. Its obvious they stay nearby. THis information needs to be listed and I would have NOT stayed in this home. We texted to ask if there was a way to watch the playoff football game that evening with no response. So, if you plan to watch an event expect to watch from your phone as there is no tv options that we could figure out and zero cell service. The location is off the path a bit, trust the maps would be my advice. Overall, the home is very spacious. The wood burning fire was nice. The oven shoots flames if you use the broil feature. The couple was nice.

Great vacation!
2nd stay this summer and we loved it. Great property. MariLu and Jim are super hosts. Great Wi-Fi - streaming worked great so we could keep up with Astros. Our dog enjoyed fenced area for dogs to move around and daily trips to the creek behind the house. Very relaxing vacation. We love the new comfortable couch. Great kitchen! Loved the deck and carport. If your lucky, MariLu and Jim might bring you some homemade salsa. Already planning for next summer.

Beautiful scenery and gracious host
This Florida family spent Christmas at the Adobe Mountain Retreat and had a wonderful time. The mountains and snow are so very different (and beautiful) from our norm. The cabin was well appointed and met our needs. The host did a great job communicating with us and when the power went out (briefly), he drove to the cabin to check on us. We had a wonderful holiday experience in Santa Fe and Taos from this central location in the mountains.

Nice quite getaway
Went with my daughter and her 2 Boston Terriers. They have a really nice place by the creek with hammocks, a fire pit and it’s secluded so you can enjoy the sound of the creek and relax. Hosts were great, always checking with us and made us feel welcomed. There is a strawberry patch there and we were allowed to pick them and the host even brought us over some salsa she made which was super nice of her. Will definitely stay there again if I ever come back that way.

Peaceful Mountain Home
We really felt at home in this roomy and comfortable house. The kitchen is large and well equipped. No real need for bottled water given the good quality of water from the tap. We ate most meals at the big dining table while looking out at the mountains. The backyard creek is a wonderful relaxing spot. The bath has all you need. Mari Lu and Jim are friendly, and very responsive hosts. Thank you for the tasty salsa and the chokecherries.💜

Nice, clean house; on-line description details incomplete
The house was very clean and had all the amenities as described. We had a relaxing time. However, we were very unhappy that access to the property is via a 1-mile GRAVEL road and the house is very close to that road. We were traveling in a vehicle purchased within the month, and would NOT have booked this property if we had known this prior to the check-in e-mail received just days before arriving. Since the full payment was non-refundable, we had no recourse. The pictures of the property are beautiful, but there are abandoned structures and a car, plus lots of junk on the property. We rented the property, only because it is “pet friendly”, but signs inside the house restricted our small dog to half the house.

Seclusion with sublime stream in lovely meadow.
If you are looking for a secluded retreat on a beautiful little stream coursing through a small groomed meadow, this is your spot. The restored adobe is very spacious and inviting, with a lovely view to a juniper-studded hill. We would dearly love to give this a 5-star rating, but cannot in good conscience because of unsightly and unsafe junk on the property near the house. We were disappointed that the dirt road leading to the home was unsuitable for walking (especially for families with small children), jogging or biking due to some neighbors’ unrestrained aggressive dogs. These dogs are not in the Jensen’s control, and Mari Lu and Jim generously offered to drive with us to access the nearby ridge for day hiking. There is excellent potential for this property to be a standout in a gorgeous (though depressed) region. We loved our ten-day stay with extended family and had to add days as we didn’t want to leave. Mari Lu and Jim aim to please and were quick to supply basic items as needed. All said, we would all be thrilled if we could head back for an extended stay right now.
