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.

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.

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.
