Hotels in Ponderosa

"The Alpaca Barnhaus is a wonderful place to stay! The hosts, Mickey and Evelyn are delightful woman who offer a unique experience with three alpacas and two dogs on site. The Barnhaus is well appointed with everything you need from spices in the kitchen, to fluffy towels in the bathrooms, and comfortable beds with great pillows. It is very clean, spacious, and homey. We especially loved the wrap-around porch, which had comfortable rocking chairs, lounge chairs, and a large picnic table. It’s a serene place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee, or to star gaze at night, or simply to enjoy the fresh mountain air and scenery. We loved having the chance to meet the alpacas and interact with them close-up (no petting allowed). The barn is extremely clean and a fun place to visit. As for location, the Barnhaus has a close hiking trail down to the San Antonio Hot Springs (beautiful but very steep). It’s any easy drive to everything you might want to do in Jemez Springs or the Valles Calsera. I highly recommend it! We will visit again for sure."

"We really enjoyed our stay here. If we come back to the area, this will be on our list of places to stay."

"My wife and 2 adult kids had the most wonderful time at Casa del Rio. The house and environs are absolutely stunning! And the hosts were amazing - they thought of everything and provided excellent coffee and sweets and anything we might have forgotten. If I could rate it higher than a 5 I would have, We will definitely be back!"
