*WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY* 360 Degree Views of Abiquiu Lake & Ghost Ranch
About this house rental
Full luxury in breathtaking natural beauty. Remote and private. So quiet you can hear your heart beat. At night, no city lights disturb your view of the star-studded sky. From this 1,475 square foot Casita, you'll enjoy panoramic 360-degree views: Abiquiu Lake, miles of mesas, rolling hills, and the magnificent red cliffs surrounding the famous Ghost Ranch. To the south you'll see the 10,000-foot mountain known as El Pedernal, which Georgia O'Keefe made famous in her paintings, along with much of the near landscape. Our Casita was built in 2008, and designed by a local architect in a southwestern yet modern style. It's fully furnished for comfort. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch gas stove with heavy gauge grills for those who really love to cook. Check out the Master bathroom: you can choose between a slate shower or a deep soaking tub to soothe your body after an invigorating hike in the nearby Jemez Mountains. Besides the 2 bedrooms, each with Queen beds, there is a Full Size Air Mattress RAISED Inflatable Bed with Built-in High Capacity Airbed Pump and Fitted Sheets with Bed Skirt for use in the Great Room overlooking the lake.

If you are looking for peace and quiet, beautiful views, and unbelievable night sky's, look no further than this amazing home. The house has all the amenities you would need, and the communication with Larry, the owner, made the whole check-in and check-out process seamless.

This property was everything we hoped for and so much more! We had been looking at this home for a while now and finally decided to go for it. Best decision ever! The views were beyond incredible and the whole area is absoluteley breathtaking. The stars at night were unbelievable and I just can't say enough about how much we loved this place. We did not want to leave and plan to come back as soon as we can! Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home with us. We will remember this family vacation forever!

This is where you go to get away from it all. The peace and serenity are all encompassing. So are the views, from Ghost ranch to Cerro Pedernal. The house is clean and the kitchen has everything you could want. There are spectacular walking roads and trails straight from the house. Ghost ranch, Abiquiu, and the O’Keefe house (make reservations) are a few miles away. We will be back!

This is at least the fourth time I have stayed at Larry and Laurie's beautiful home and it never disappoints. If you're a photo buff this is the place to be. The light, the vistas......they're extraordinary. I can't recommend it enough.

I visited with my husband, sister and brother-in-law to celebrate my 50th birthday. We had a fabulous few days enjoying the wonderful casita with its completely breathtaking views. We planned to go out for short days so that we could have long leisurely afternoons and evenings enjoying the porch, fire pit and scenery.
We had the perfect few days.
Thank you Larry and Laurie.

Truly beautiful house with spectacular views, that make you feel you have New Mexico all to yourself. Host is very communicative and helpful. Road to top of the mesa is bumpy and you must go slow, but is totally worth it once you arrive at the top. We feel very fortunate to have been able to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary here. I think my favorite part was drinking coffee by the fire pit during sun rise.

This is a fabulous property with incredible views. The interior of the house has everything you would need including views of the lake and mountains. I found myself walking around outside with my mouth ajar at the serenity, peacefulness and silence of the surroundings. I’m sure we will be back, just to stay there again.

We loved the house and the amazing views from it. The kitchen was well set up for cooking, which we did a lot, given the distance to a restaurant. We would not hesitate to return.

We loved our stay with views that will take your breath away! If you are looking for a rustic and remote location to just relax this is your place. While we were there we visited Ghost Ranch (which was suggested) but also stopped at the Echo Amphitheater which is a short drive from there. It was really cool! A quick stop but a fun one. We also went to the Puye Cliff Dwellings which was about an hour from the house. It was absolutely worth the drive! It was our favorite stop by far.
The communication was excellent, the home was cozy and welcoming. There were plenty of kitchen supplies from pots, pans, etc to basic condiments, salt, pepper, and so on. I always like to note that because I bring all those things just in case!
Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home with our family. It's a trip we will never forget!

My two friends and I absolutely loved this place! So quiet, peaceful and beautiful! Spent our time just enjoying the solitude and views. The stars and moon were just amazing...felt like we were the only ones around for miles. A wonderful, relaxing weekend and we definitely recommend this special place!

This property is a high-end fortress of solitude with breathtaking views of Abuquiu Lake and the surrounding desert mountains. If you eventually satiate with just staring out the 180-degree view from the couch, Ghost Ranch and Monastery of Christ in the Desert are an hour away.
The owner is remote, but communication is exceptional and detailed , written instructions regarding accessing the remote site and operating household systems are clear and concise.
Expectations at this price point are fully met.
Access is via well-maintained gravel roads, but severe/extreme winter weather might tend to necessitate a 4-wd, high clearance vehicle -- maybe not.
Bring food and drink in with you: local amenities are sparse.
Highly recommend without hesitation.

The location and home together were beyond beautiful. The view from the home and outside fire pit was just amazing. It was hard to stop looking at the beautiful surroundings. As you stopped to notice the beauty of Ghost Ranch you could hear this incredible quiet of NO SOUND that slowed your heart rate. We really fell in love with this home and location. We did not want to leave.
Larry the owner was spectacular in his communication prior to the trip. You will find his instructions and descriptions perfectly written. There is nothing we would change, other than we will stay longer on our next return trip.

Everything about our stay was amazing, from the communication with our hosts to the panoramic views of Pedernal and Ghost Ranch. The house was so well appointed with everything we could need; no detail was overlooked. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be booking this casita in the future! Thank you Larry for sharing your home with us!

The location and setting is heavenly. The outdoor seating offers more than your eyes and heart can absorb. On a healing journey myself, this place was perfect. We hiked by the dam and it was amazing. We also went to Plaza Blanca and it was spectacular. Cafe Sierra Negra was the best eatery in the area. Hats off to this vrbo find!

We rented here 10 years ago and everything was as amazing now as it was in 2012. The views, tranquility, and overall greatness of Vista de Lago will no doubt bring us back here. Larry is awesome and communication is superb. Highly recommend choosing this as your next destination!

Stunning views and peaceful, beautiful home
Our family of 5 spent our Spring Break at the Casita. The views were spectacular and the house was clean and well stocked. The owner had planned ahead for all the needs of the guests. The house is about 20 minutes away from the main road with excellent clear directions provided for the dirt road access. We enjoyed the outside fire place for making smores and deck for viewing stars with our telescope. The views are 360 degrees from the living room and kitchen with the sunrise and sunsets most enjoyable. We brought all our own food with amazing views from the kitchen to meal prep. Highly recommend for anyone needing a peaceful getaway.
