Nice retreat.

Loved the property and all the thought that has gone into the setup. The map was a cute touch. Good communication and easy to get in and out. Had a minor scare with some wildlife rustling in the night, but we felt safe enough with the blinds down. Not too far from Albuquerque, convenient to drive in and out.

Nice Experience

We were greeted by a wonderful host. If you love to camp the Tree-house will be an excellent choice for you. We are not campers but love the outdoors. Be prepared for limited amenities and an interesting walk to the bathroom. This was not the glamping experience we were expecting but many may love it. A great place to try. The host gave us some excellent area suggestions and was amazingly pleasant.

Treehouse

Glamping at its finest. Woodsy environment. Short stroll from parking, past yoga platform and ping-pong table. Literal treehouse up a short ladder. 30 yard walk to toilet and shower. Lots of hot water, very clean and well equipped. A bit of a challenge for the prostrate impaired after midnight, but doable. Rain showers not a prob, either. Tree house cozy, kitchen and eating area all stayed dry. In appropriate weather, fire pit and gas grill near kitchen. Mosquito net around bed worked as expected. We stayed one night traveling, may return for longer stay.

Absolutely wonderful

These are phenomenal people running a very special little place. We loved it here. It’s serene. It’s fun. It’s peaceful. It’s shockingly clean given that it’s largely an indoor/outdoor type of stay arrangement. Clean outdoor bathrooms and showers. Plenty of hot and cold running water. Soap, towels, you name it. Just really excellent hosts. You won’t regret staying here! We are SURE to be back and we are grateful to have found it. Thanks Roberta and Gregory!

stayed warm

The tree house is super cute and comfortable. Gregory was very friendly and gave us a tour upon arrival. The bedroom is on one side of the building and the kitchen and dining area is outside on the other side of the building. The bathroom is down a path a little distance. Everything is well lit though. The bedroom is open air with a half wall all around it and shades that mostly close off the top half. Everything is fully covered. It was a chilly night when we were there, but there were plenty of blankets to stay warm. We would stay here again!

What a great place to stay! It was serene and very quaint. The directions were great, easy to find. Gregory met us when we arrived and showed us around. We loved the tree house. Very relaxing. The outdoor shower was great! The tree house bed was very comfortable. We had a perfect night to sleep outside. We had been visiting for the Balloon Fiesta ... just one night. Left early to get to the early morning activities. Great location.

It is a peaceful sanctuary. The host Gregory gave us a tour and answered our questions promptly via text. We can not wait to go back.

Great hosts! Beautiful property and grounds. The Treehouse unit was beautiful. Glamping is the appropriate adjective - it's a true treehouse. Great style, a bit rough around the edges as it should be. Loved that it was in the low 40s at night which kept the treehouse cold enough to snuggle under the ample blankets. every thing we needed was provided. The outdoor shower was brilliant!

It’s just like sleeping in a tree house as a kid but with Wi-Fi and power! Kitchenette was perfect for our needs. It’s glamping so still bring your camping gear as mine did come in handy for certain things. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Like a tree house, back to nature!

Definitely rustic, peaceful outdoor surroundings. Outdoor kitchen is well supplied. A nice place to rest every evening from all the outdoor adventures we had during the day. The local restaurants have a great selection of wonderful food. The raised sleeping area is like a tree house of sorts, can't stand up in it, so you have to have some "youngin" left in you to stay here.

We stayed over on a burning hot day in the middle of July. The night was blanketed in stars and the temperature dropped to a chill that made our open air lodging a pure delight. The treehouse is well appointed. Gregory and Robbie are charming and well-informed hosts. Highly recommend!

Uniquely comfortable.

The property has several options, for guest experiences. We choose the tree house because it appeared to be the most unique. The yurt looked amazing as well. Very private and we felt completely safe. The owner greeted us and insured we had everything we needed. Nice outdoor sitting area, kitchen, bathroom near by. I would recommend it for folks that like glamping. If you are not as comfortable in the open air, pick the yurt or one of the houses!
