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. You may find a video of the home here: www.rassmandal1.com/home/ 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. 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, perhaps a bit longer weather permitting, and generally the pool water temperature will be maintained at approximately 78 - 85 F throughout the heated season. 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 during the heated season. The hot tub is kept at 104 F all year-round. Please note that the pool & hot tub require some servicing every week and we will be as unobtrusive as possible. 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. Although we do permit a small dog (under 20 pounds), I expect that you will be responsible. A dog should not be left outside unattended due to wildlife danger and the pool. The property is not fenced. If you are considering bringing a pet, you should discuss this with me beforehand. 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. VERY IMPORTANT: I must reiterate that Rass Mandal accommodates a maximum of 10 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. We are honored to receive requests to host weddings and other very special events at Rass Mandal but unfortunately we do not permit events of greater than ten people. The limitation for the number of people residing at or visiting Rass Mandal is 10 without prior agreement . 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. While only minutes to the historic Plaza, all the downtown cultural amenities and many fine restaurants, Rass Mandal is a quiet and peaceful retreat not to be missed. I encourage you to read the reviews from our previous guests. Winter Driving: A 4 wheel drive, all-wheel drive and/or chains are recommended for your safety and the safety of others. ## 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.

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 is one of the most interesting and beautiful places we have ever stayed. It has all the amenities one could possibly want for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect, with easy access to all the art and restaurants in town, plus the privacy and space we prefer. The furnishings, art and overall vibe of the home are just beyond cool. Richard was an excellent host and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend this vacation spot. ##### Michelle M.

The property is spectacular (no other way to describe it), but the highlight was meeting one of the co-owners, Richard Woodruff. Richard came over at our invitation and provided the fascinating history of the property, its previous occupants and how he went about decorating it. We were all spellbound. Much thanks to Richard for a great vacation. ##### Dennis J.

There were 10 of us, 8 adults and two children. Our 43 and 35 year old sons and spouses did the check-in as we arrived later. They indicated that Richard was very nice, polite and thorough in his tour/check-in. The home is spacious with multiple gathering areas. The pool and hot tub are awesome. We did not use the sauna. Our daughter and grandchildren “camped out” in the cabin one of the nights and found it comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit, the kids got out a lot of pre bedtime zoomies in the yoga pavilion. The upstairs observation area was awesome and the views from there are stunning. Downsides or things we noticed that could be improved upon: the primary bathroom sinks do not drain well, the little bridge over the pool needs some anti-skid treads, we could have used some tissues, but made do by using toilet tissue to blow noses, I enjoyed the sunken tub/shower in the primary bathroom several times and even enjoyed some face time with a couple of deer. I would have liked a grab bar of some kind to assist in entering and exiting the tub. I found the decor lovely, but a few in my family thought it was too much for their taste. Beautiful pieces, reflection of the owners tastes and travels. Overall, it was a very positive experience in this home. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring Santa Fe and surrounding towns. ##### Jay M.

Staying at Rass Mandal made it that much more special. The house, the property and views are amazing. I never thought staying in a house could be so much fun! Every room in this house is a experience of its own. We all literally loved just being at the house and and didn’t want to leave to go out. ##### Kim C.

Our family of 7, ranging from age 6 to 72, enjoyed the property. The views are gorgeous, the hot tub and sauna were luxurious, and the house was warm and inviting. We did a few hikes and the kids enjoyed the snow. I loved the meditation space and there was plenty of room for the family to both spread out and come together. Richard was helpful and quick to respond throughout the process. This is a special house in a special place. I hope to return with friends for a retreat. ##### Sarina K.
