A perfect get-away! Small, comfortable studio room in remote area with private entrance and patio and amazing lake and red rock views. Set in the heart of Georgia O'Keeffe country! El Sol ("The Sun") Studio is a studio guest room with a queen-sized bed and inspiring views. Located on a mesa top above Abiquiu Lake, you will go to sleep under incredible stars and wake up every morning with the sun rising over spectacular lake and red rock views. Staying in The Studios is an amazing and unique "get-away" experience located on an 8 acre property with the lake and red rocks in front of you and the famous Pedernal Mountain standing guard behind you. You can't help but sense the vast scope and close centering of the land that inspired Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings. The Studios are located in a secondary building on an 8 acre property. The history and beauty of the land is powerful. Enjoy immersing yourself in your surroundings, taking in the night skies and fresh air, hiking from your door, visiting the lake and surrounding areas, and recharging your spirit. El Sol is fully equipped with private sliding glass door entrance, luxurious linens, air conditioning and heat, a wonderful bed, private bathroom, over-sized shower, mini fridge, microwave, toaster oven, Keurig Coffee Maker, and spectacular views from every angle! The studio is small and comfortable, about 150 square feet. Located about 20 feet south of neighboring La Luna Studio, The Studios are a perfect pairing for travelling friends. The studios enjoy shared outside common areas including a flagstone patio, a BBQ grill, picnic table, outdoor seating, and free parking. All areas have views galore! The Studios are perfect additional rooms for nearby vacation home rentals. They are also great lodging options for solo travelers, couples, outdoor artists or those taking workshops at Ghost Ranch. If you don't need a lot of space or a kitchen, The Studios may be a great option for you. There are two studios in the building so you may have a neighbor or friend on the other side of the building. As small economy guest rooms, the The Studios do not have WiFi (although your cell phone should work fine at the location and you can use your cell as a hot spot) or televisions. Bring all your food and drink provisions with you. Bring prepared foods or plan to prepare simple meals in the microwave, toaster oven or outside on the BBQ. While two plates and cups are provided, you will want to bring any dishes that you want to cook with. The studios are located outside the village of Abiquiu in a gated community on Abiquiu Lake. It is about a 25 minute drive to Abiquiu. There is a wonderful history in this area - from dinosaurs, to Native American pueblos, to Spanish explorers, to cattle rustlers, to ghosts and witches, to Georgia O’Keeffe - all the way to our current age where the past history and culture blends with the multi-cultral artist colony that Abiquiu has become. The room is conveniently located near Ghost Ranch, Echo Amphitheater, Monastery of Christ in the Desert, Plaza Blanca, Pedernal, and the Carson National Forest. You will also want to explore the Purple Adobe Lavender Farm, Bandelier National Monument, the nearby Cumbres Toltec Train, rafting the Chama River, the Ra Paulette Cave Tour, and Ojo Caliente. You will need a car. During winter months, we recommend a 4WD or AWD as many of the roads in New Mexico are dirt/gravel. The roads back to the studios are dirt/gravel. ​We recommend purchasing trip insurance in case your travel plans change or if you have concerns about traveling.
