El Rito · 整套客房 · 1室1床1.0卫 · 可住3人 · Secluded Folk Art Cabin by the Acequia
Rustic, cute, cozy, comfortable country cabin @ 7300 ft on 8 acres with high speed internet. Peaceful, quiet & secluded setting in the Carson National Forest. Explore Anasazi ruins & O’Keefe Country, hike/ bike/climb in El Rito, soak at Ojo Caliente/ undeveloped springs in Taos & Jemez, float the Rio Grande/Chama, swim in Abuquiu lake or enjoy miles of roads great for dirt bikes/ATVs. XC ski 2 mi away after snowstorms + more above Chama/Los Alamos/Taos. Downhill ski in Santa Fe or Taos- 1.5 hr. Full disclosure: the cabin is old, circa 1940’s-50’s. The floor slopes in the kitchen & creaks a bit . There's also some questionable (70’s remodel) design choices such as linoleum instead of tile for the shower surround. (?) And in order to access the shower, you have to lift a leg about 2 feet to step into a hand-formed cement composite tub. There's also linoleum lined shelves under the kitchen sink. (?) It's cute-funky & unconventional, but neatly done. The guy who built my cabin lived there in the 70's during construction-which explains some things. The floors get cold, so bring slippers except in summer! Furthermore, it’s the country...and is IN the forest! I do everything I can to prevent mice and insects, BUT, I can't guarantee anything. I want you to be completely comfortable & your stay to be GREAT, so PLEASE, if the possibility of encountering either is OUT of your comfort zone I kindly encourage you to book elsewhere. All that said, my property is a very unique & beautiful high-desert oasis with lots of trees & running water. It’s very quiet & serene. The people who are drawn to my place have loved it! The sheets are 600 thread count cotton + a cotton blanket for summer and a down comforter with a cotton duvet cover for winter. The bath towels are new and fluffy! My dog Angel & I live on the property. My home is close to the cabin, but privacy is maintained because of the trees & seperate driveways. (See photo.) I have 3 small windows on the north side of my house (the shared side) which I open for cross ventilation in summer. I've had long-term tenants and rarely see or hear them, and vice versa. (See guest reviews.) AWD/4WD is necessary for snowy & muddy conditions. Private cabin entrance, driveway & parking is behind a gate which remains closed & locked at all times with your cooperation. An additional $50 cash cleaning fee will be charged for stays over 28 days. ($100 total…$50 collected by Airbnb at booking.) Thanks, and I look forward to hosting you!
Of all the Airbnb's I've stayed in, this one was by far my favorite. The incredible natural beauty of the surroundings, the vibe of the cabin and Mary Ellen's friendly, helpful demeanor all made for a wonderful stay.
Our host Mary Ellen called us to let us know that 8” of snow had fallen on the day of our arrival. She also let us know she had plowed the road. What a sanctuary this cozy cabin turned out to be. Clean, cozy and so beautifully decorated in bright colors, a truly wonderful getaway in Northern New Mexico. We wished we could have stayed longer!
Highly recommended! Peaceful, really well equipped, good communication with Mary Ellen, perfect for a couple and with a lot to do around. Hiking possible directly from the cabin and 20 minutes drive to Ghost Ranch and various other options. After such a good experience around the Thanksgiving week, we are looking forward to experiencing it again during spring! Merci :)
We enjoyed our two nights at the Folk Art Cabin. Mary Ellen was an available and responsive host. This cabin is very isolated, charming and quirky, with delightful folk art everywhere you look. Sits in a gorgeous location with the nearby acequia. Well stocked with all the basics you need. We will keep it on our list of places to stay in the future.
El Rito is Spanish for "The Little River." My place is in a quiet rural canyon close, yet removed (15-20 min) from highways 285 & 84. It's quiet, wooded, secluded & peaceful with the serene sound of running water and views of surrounding high-desert ridges. The only traffic on my road is from locals and people using the forest. There's close to zero light pollution, so the night sky is incredible!
1- 1.25 hrs drive from Santa Fe or Taos. Unpaved parking near the cabin is accessed by a separate entrance behind a locked gate. It has a turnaround & can accommodate medium sized trailers. FWD or AWD vehicles with high clearance is recommended for winter. The main road is kept snowplowed, but the cabin road is a flat dirt road that can get quite snowy, icy and muddy.
自我介绍
Thanks for checking out my Airbnb. I’ve had my place in El Rito for 24 years and love living northern New Mexico! Gorgeous natural beauty combined with such rich culture and history make it a unique and special place to live. I really enjoy hosting & sharing the tranquility of my land with guests. I’m a foodie + a great cook. I love to hike & camp. I’m also a performing musician & see a ton of live music in town and on vacation!
