Mountain Cabin Retreat FAST WiFi, Ski Sipapu,Hike, Hunt,Fish,Art, Taos, Santa Fe
Huge deck with propane grill, table and chairs & hummingbird feeders. Backyard creek with hammocks, picnic tables, chairs, & fire pit. Well stocked kitchen includes coffee maker w/ coffee, toaster, Keurig, blender, crock pot, electric skillet, mixer, food processor, ricer/steamer, citrus juicer, cake pans, muffin pans and cookie sheets. Refrigerator with ice maker. Gas heat and wood stove with romantic glass doors. Plenty of firewood. Lots of free strawberry plants.
Ice cold streams run through timbered mountains. Find your quiet space and enjoy the peace, clean air, dark, starry nights. Leave the mundane things of life behind and discover yourself, your own thoughts and feelings. The back yard is the main attraction for us at Mountain Cabin Retreat. The grass surrounding the creek, the bridge where we sat and dangled our feet in the cold mountain stream, imagining family gatherings around the campfire. The first step through the front door said, “Welcome home”. During our many years here, we have done a lot of remodeling. The quality workmanship is evident the moment you step through the entry door. The wood stove mesmerizes, lighting and warming the hardwood floor. The coved log ceiling beams, called vigas, reflect centuries old architecture. The quiet speaks of reflection on today, yesterday, and tomorrow, on life and purpose. The dark skies look back through millenniums of time and displays an eternity of celestial bodies. Yes, we warmly invite you to come and experience the alluring appeal of Mountain Cabin Retreat. The 1400 sq. ft. make for a spacious 2-bedroom house. All rooms are large. The cozy, comfy living room has the wood stove with plenty of firewood. TV’s with ROKU, DVD and VCR players are in the living room and the Buffalo Room. The Buffalo Room also serves as an additional sleeping area. There is also the opportunity for wildlife viewing from the Buffalo Room and the dining room. Many times we have seen elk, coyote, birds and more. The hummingbirds are a real attraction at the feeders on the deck. Special note: bedroom 2 is accessed through master bedroom. Both have queen beds. The Buffalo Room is on the opposite side of the house, making it quite private from the master bedroom and bedroom 2, and has a sofa bed, futon and a single bed. No smoking is allowed in the house. Designated outside smoking areas are provided. The last 1 mile to the house is a gravel road that is well maintained by the county road department.

Jim and Marilu were wonderfully welcoming and accommodating. The property was an unexpected treat with a beautiful creek running through the backyard with hammocks and a fire pit on the banks. The house is gorgeous and full of Southwest charm. It was comfortable, spacious, and well-stocked. I can’t recommend this stay enough. We will be back!
My family stayed for a week and we absolutely loved our stay! The creek in the backyard and hummingbirds on the porch were a wonderful bonus. The owners are very friendly and accommodating!
This cabin was perfect for our family! Very roomy and great outdoor space. There were a lot of extras with the house, games and toys for kids! Very nice owners and great area! We would stay there again!
This was a return visit for us. We don’t feel like our summer is complete without a stay at this mountain retreat. Hosts are terrific and always around if needed. The house is pet friendly and our dog enjoys trips to the creek every day to play in the mountain stream on property. We love the deck on back of the house. View is terrific. Laundry facilities are really nice to have. Kitchen is terrific.
The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed to cook and clean.
We had ample firewood and communication with the host was 5 stars.
Would stay again 10/10
Our stay was wonderful! The home was clean and cozy. The host was an amazing person, very friendly and very accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. We really enjoyed the conversation cards at the dinner table. It allowed great topics of discussion with our kids. Thank you for opening your home to us.
This was our second time staying at this home. It is perfect for us - everything we could need or want is provided. The hosts are wonderful people who work hard to make us feel welcome. Thank you again for a wonderful time -extra bonus this year was all the beautiful snow!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The space was large and well stocked with everything we needed. In addition, there were VCR and DVD players with a wide range of movies that came in handy after a long day spent skiing (in addition to streaming television access). Great location that offered a fantastic view. We will be staying again!
Jim and Mari Lu were great hosts, responsive and very welcoming. We felt like we were at home. Mari Lu gave us some of her delicious salsa. The hummingbirds were plentiful and a joy to watch. We and our pup enjoyed the nearby stream and the deck.
Jim and Marilu's house is very comfortable with a good sized kitchen and dining area plus plenty of sleeping space. The kitchen is well equipped for longer stays. The area by the creek is lovely and I enjoyed having coffee and listening to the water and birds. The deck is also wonderful to eat or sit and enjoy the views. My friends really enjoyed visiting. I liked that the house was far enough from the main highway to not hear traffic yet close enough for easy access. There is good hiking and skiing within a half hour drive. I met Marilu and she is a very sweet person and kind and generous host. My only suggestions would be to make sure stair areas going to the creek are clear of overhanging branches and provide shade structure or umbrellas on the deck.
Dirt road to quiet and privacy. Cool evenings . About 45 minutes to Taos which has great food and the Taos Cow. Wife loves the shopping (e.g.Moxie). Josey had a fenced yard and a creek to splash in.
We have multiple stays here and the owners have become like family.
We happened to hit a snowstorm just right and had a great weekend skiing at Sipapu. Our hosts had a nice cozy fire going for us when we got there, and they even gave us some tokens for discounts at one of the wineries nearby.One little piece of advice - cell service is pretty bad up there, so be sure to have the door code saved somewhere, because you may not be able to pull up the app. The wifi works great though, once you get in!
We loved staying at Jim and Mari Lu's home in the mountains above Santa Fe. We came for the feast day celebrations at Picuris Pueblo, for the weaving in Chimayo, and for hiking in Bandolier National Monument, all of which are easy to access, as are Taos and Santa Fe, which gave us all kinds of options. The home is on a safe, quiet mountain road, with a lovely creek out back and hammocks we took full advantage of. It is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, the coffee machine is stocked, and the WiFi is strong. Jim and Mari Lu, who offered homemade salsa to welcome us, were the perfect hosts, unobtrusive but available when we needed them. The "neighborhood" is very quiet, and the night sky is an astronomer's dream. We look forward to returning.

Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Snowboarding trip
As I would love to rate this home 5 stars, I cannot.
Cleanliness: We arrived well past check-in to find the couple cleaning. The toilet had not been cleaned among other things such as dishes in the sink.
Being that they were in the home this made CHECK IN quite awkward, but simple. They were apologetic and left a bottle of wine.
Listing accuracy: Everything is as pictured, however I wish I'd known the 2 bedrooms are conjoined and there is not much privacy as you must go into ones room to get to the bathroom. I feel that this is important information.
Communication: there was over communication in the sense that the home owners popped in and out randomly which made me very uncomfortable and was a complete invasion of privacy. Cake was brough while we were in the middle of dinner at the table which was sweet but it felt like more like we were being watched. They also came by while we were gone during the day. Its obvious they stay nearby. THis information needs to be listed and I would have NOT stayed in this home. We texted to ask if there was a way to watch the playoff football game that evening with no response. So, if you plan to watch an event expect to watch from your phone as there is no tv options that we could figure out and zero cell service.
The location is off the path a bit, trust the maps would be my advice.
Overall, the home is very spacious. The wood burning fire was nice. The oven shoots flames if you use the broil feature. The couple was nice.
We had a fabulous stay! The house had great room for our family and all the amenities we needed. We went for skiing and the house is only 25 minutes from Sipapu, with a Family Dollar along the way for anything we forgot or ran out of. We look forward to coming back to stay again!
The house was perfect for our family. Lots of space for all of us, and the perfect location for day trips around the area. We enjoyed coffee every morning, and after dinner time, down by the creek. We loved seeing the hummingbirds, yellow monarch butterflies, American Robins, and even a brave muskrat on the property. Necessities (coffee, hand soap, laundry detergent, etc. ) were provided, and we loved seeing the kids master the VHS and DVD players.
This property was close to the ski area. It was easy to find and very clean and welcoming. Instructions were easy to follow. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will be back!
The place is much roomer than the pictures. I love the layout of the place. The car port was nice since it snow on Saturday. My group really enjoy our stay. The host was always there when we needed them. I would definitely stay here again!
We booked last minute and everything went easy and smooth. Loved the place- especially the wood burning stove. House is well stocked and we really loved the welcome lemon cake. What a sweet gesture. Will definitely come again.
