El Rito is a town in New Mexico that has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. It was one of the first Spanish settlements in the Jicarilla Apache lands north of Santa Fe, being settled about 1807. The town is home to the San Juan Nepomuceno Catholic Church, which was built between 1827 and 1832. The El Rito Formation is a geologic formation in New Mexico dating to the Eocene epoch.

Quiet relaxation
We used the house, studio as a base from which to explore the area. The place was big for two people, but I'd definitely do it again. For all its room, it was very comfortable. The weather was perfect during our stay, warm days and cool, even cold evenings.

Nice Stay
As other reviewers have mentioned, the layout of the house is quirky and it has a very boho vibe. It was fine for us for a couple of days - we booked just so we could go to Ghost Ranch and Plaza Blanca - but I don't think the space is conducive to long stays. That said, the area is pretty and the neighborhood is quiet.

This is a delightful hide-away just outside El Rito , New Mexico. Day trips to Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch. Great little restaurant inn town (best green chili burger). Beautiful sunsets from a great deck. Returning is in the plans.

Beautiful location
This property was located in a great location close to thousands of acres of public land and mountains. The house was equipped with everything that was needed for a short stay and all the furnishings were comfortable. Owner communication was almost instant. Overall, it was a great stay and would recommend this property to anyone.
