It is situated on a mountain range of pine forests with spectacular views. Entering brings you to another time and presents a serene and inspiring atmosphere for all. The house and grounds of more than 20 acres offer abundant locations for quiet time. There are numerous hiking & mountain bike trails immediately accessible, some of which take you directly to the center of Santa Fe. Ski Santa Fe is 30 minutes from the center of Santa Fe, just add ten minutes to that to get there from Rass Mandal. Rass Mandal was featured on HGTV's House Hunter's on Vacation with the initial airing on June 22nd 2012 and on Thrillist in March 2019. Upon entering the home you encounter a large domed circular living room (Mandala Room) complete with a gas-fired fireplace, eastern antique furniture and beautiful views looking out to a pool. This space is ideal for group sessions, gatherings and entertainment. Off to the left of the living room is the dining room and kitchen area. The dining table has room to accommodate 12 and is a great area for entertaining and formal meals. The kitchen is open plan and has a Moroccan style wood-burning fireplace and a very comfortable breakfast nook ideal for bird watching. Behind the kitchen is a King size bedroom and a bathroom, secluded from the rest of the house with its own private entrance. To the right of the living room are guest quarters, each room offers views overlooking the grounds and the entire Santa Fe valley. The master bedroom is complete with a large meditation/work area, beautiful bathroom and sunken Jacuzzi with views. Additionally, there is a 2nd story observation deck that provides expansive views over all of Santa Fe, the Jemez Mountains and beyond. Although the house is not air conditioned, there are ceiling fans in every bedroom. However, given the cool evenings AC it is not actually necessary. Heading outside, there is a large private pool, jacuzzi style 5 person hot tub, plunge pool and sauna. The pool (40,000 gallons) is heated from May 15th to September 15th and generally the pool water temperature will be maintained at approximately 78 - 85 F throughout the heated season. Depending on weather, this may be extended by one - two weeks on either side. We have invested in renewable Solar Technology for heating the home and the pool thus keeping our environmental footprint to a minimum. As the pool is heated with solar, it is continually heated however with the cool nights the range mentioned is what should be expected. The hot tub is kept at 104 F all year-round. All this is surrounded by a deck and patio ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. There is also a gas-fired Fire Pit for enjoyment during the cool evenings. Burn restrictions imposed by Santa Fe County may sometimes restrict its use. Additionally, there is a small cabin on the property about 150 feet from the main home that is included in the rental. The cabin has a queen bed and a bathroom (with a shower) plus a TV. There is a small fee for the number of guests exceeding ten. I must reiterate that Rass Mandal accommodates a maximum of 12 people given the above bedroom configuration and we do not permit any more than that number without prior agreement from me (Richard). This limit also applies to 'guests' even visiting for just the day and not residing at Rass Mandal. Should you be planning on inviting a few guests to visit, please discuss it with me before you book Rass Mandal. Rass Mandal provides a truly unique experience in Santa Fe. It's incredible architecture, shapes, and spaces transport one to ancient India yet with all the modern conveniences in an amazingly beautiful location high in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains above the city with spectacular views.

Name “Rass Mandal” “Rass Mandal” (also written Raas Mandal or Rasa Mandala) refers to a sacred circular formation connected with Lord Krishna’s Raas Leela — the divine dance with Radha and the Gopis. Meaning: Rass/Raas = the divine dance of Krishna Mandal = circle or sacred geometric space Spiritual Significance Represents the cosmic dance of creation, love, and unity. Symbolizes the idea that the divine is at the center of all life. Often used in temple art, paintings, and devotional rituals. Here are the two main contexts in which the term is used: 1\. In Hindu Spiritual Tradition A Rass Mandal (or Raas Mandal) refers to the circular formation in which Krishna performed the Raas Leela with Radha and the Gopis. Key points: Represents divine cosmic dance symbolizing love, unity, and devotion. The circular formation signifies the eternity and wholeness of the spiritual universe. Temples, paintings, and festivals often depict the Raas Mandal as a sacred geometric pattern. Associated especially with Vrindavan and Braj. 2\. As a Place / Structure (e.g., Rass Mandal Retreat, Rishikesh) In modern usage, “Rass Mandal” can also refer to: A circular structure or open-air platform designed for meditation, yoga, and spiritual retreats. Named after the traditional concept to evoke peace and spirituality. One well-known example is Rass Mandal in Rishikesh, a retreat built on a hilltop offering panoramic Himalayan views. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Hot tub - Outdoor pool - Private pool - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Car required - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 9 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 accessible parking spaces - No lift - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Dispose of butts appropriately!

I was there with 10 of my closest friends for a fun, restful, intentional "bachelorette" weekend before my wedding in a month, and we couldn't have asked for a better space. From the common spaces, pool, hot tub, observation deck, soft lights, art, sound system, cushions, couches - EVERYTHING! We were also able to use the yoga shala with Keisha based on Richard's recommendation who was amazing. Rass Mandal is and was so above my expectations and imaginations, and the best house I have ever stayed at over a weekend. ##### Judy P.

The property was exactly as described. A unique place that had a wonderful atmosphere. It was very comfortable and had so many amenities. Richard also thought of everything. I've never stayed at a place where the kitchen was so well stocked! The printed guides that he had waiting for us were also so helpful. The grounds are beautiful. The sound of the wind chimes as the breeze blew through was so relaxing. I would enthusiastically stay at Rass Mandal again the next time I am in Santa Fe. I and my family had a wonderful time. ##### Ramana Y.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Rass Mandal and it exceeded all our expectations. Tucked away in a serene corner, the property offers a perfect blend of luxury and tranquility, making it an ideal retreat for anyone seeking a rejuvenating escape. Richard went above and beyond in making sure our stay was comfortable. He even came to our rescue when we got stuck in a snow storm! Thank you once again Richard! ##### Siddharth D.

Everyone in our group enjoyed the stay. The weather was perfect. The house is spectacular. The pool, hot tub and sauna were so nice. Santa Fe is a lovely, historic southwest town with so much to offer and Rass Mandal is a great place to stay while exploring. Richard, the host is very welcoming and accommodating. He is available at all times, communicates exceeding well but does not step in when not needed. Nothing but praise for this facility and its management. We would gladly return. ##### Ricard H.

It was beautiful. And Richard was the perfect consummate host. We will return. I know it in my heart. ❤️ ##### Christopher S.

We chose Rass Mandal based on its web site and VRBO reviews. It was perfect in every respect! The first day we just marveled at its beauty and amenities. By the second day Rass Mandal became one with us; its ambiance and inspiration influencing our thinking and decisions every day. Our host, Richard, was cordial, informative and helpful - and left us alone to just enjoy the experience. Rass Mandal is truly a magical place that left an impression we will never forget. Thank you Richard, Dave, Susan & Family ##### David D.

We spent 10 days with our children and grandchildren ages 10, 14, 16, and 18 and enjoyed every minute. The kids especially liked the pool and hot tub. The house is immaculate and large enough for everyone to spread out. Since there were 9 of us, eating out was challenging but the well appointed kitchen made it a delight to prepare gourmet meals for the family. The dining room had ample space for all to be together; when we wanted to be. The outdoor property is expansive offering short and long hikes, birdwatching and expansive views. The owner is readily available to answer questions or help with needs you might have. Rass Mandel is the perfect place to make lasting memories. It is a special place and surpassed our expectations. ##### Lynne T.

Rass Mandal was ideal for our group of seven, there was plenty of space to congregate and for privacy. Lots of rooms filled with collectibles from the owner's world travels, it's ecclectic & fun. The views are spectacular during the day and we enjoyed nighttime star-gazing from the "balcony" aka rooftop terrace. A couple of us saw shooting stars! The hot tub was perfect on a chilly morning or evening. We were treated to a visit from a buck and four mule deer on the property one morning. Lucky to notice them through the windows inside the home! We all delighted in 2" of snow overnight before Thanksgiving Day, it made for a scenic holiday. We created a fabulous feast in the kitchen and shared a memorable celebration at the grand dining room table. Everyone had a great time! Thank you, Richard, for opening your home so others can enjoy it. I highly recommend Rass Mandal for an unforgettable getaway. ##### Sandra B.

A group of 10 women coming from various locations across the country gathered for a larger retreat and found out once at Rass Mandal - we arrived at our own private retreat. This place not only has an amazing story, but was built with the feminine "energy" in mind. RM is filled with gorgeous art, sensuous colors and lines of furniture. When I arrived I quickly stated, "my goal is to not sit in the same seat twice". And I did a good job, still not trying all of them! Everywhere you see you see a new story in front of you. I had no need to go anywhere else - this is luxury and home sweet home all in one... with a dash of another (mystical if you will) world. Richard is a rock star - I'd stay at any of his properties (managed by him). Cheers ##### Kimberly B.
