Glad we ignored the previous bad reviews! River paradise five hours from Denver Metro!
I almost feel I shouldn't leave this review in case this riverside retreat becomes so popular I can't slip out of the Denver metro for an idyllic escape at my leisure, but Donna and her little slice of heaven deserve it.
Donna was a perfect host and afforded just the right amount of privacy and care of her guests. She's right next door to the home and available if you need anything.
Even with it being overcast and Spring not quite setting in yet, we had a wonderful time listening to the river and drinking wine on the napping porch, and curling up next to a fire (both indoors and outdoors). Stargazing from the rooftop deck can't be beat and you will love waking up to the sunrise from the loft bedroom.
If you're finding yourself suffocating in a concrete jungle, or need an intimate setting to getaway for a few days, this is the place to be.
As a heads-up, the home uses radiant heating, which means heat comes through the tile floor and the home is warmed up that way. This is pretty typical for a lot of casitas and homes in New Mexico, so just be prepared to look for the dial on the wall and close the wooden window blinds at night if you need it to be a little toastier.
No issues with cleanliness either -- this is a beautiful adobe in New Mexico, so expect some occasional dust and maybe the occasional bug no matter how much you scrub and sweep.
