He cooked us up a great breakfast as well! The casitas are decorated very tastefully and I slept better than I had in months that night. A plus in my opinion as well for this town and neighboring Madrid, no cell service! I was truly able to escape work for a few hours.

I also got a cinnamon roll and slice of apple pie. The Apple pie was really good! If I didn't get so full, I probably would've had another slice. The cinnamon roll was decent--nothing out of the ordinary. The staff was super friendly and quick! I come here again!

I booked for a celebration dinner that included a weekend stay with family and friends. Not only did Mitch and Leslie provide us with amazing food, they were a joy to spend time with. Their beautiful ranch is a renovated artist space with a handful of adobe casitas to choose from. Each has its own unique charm. This is a great place to come for a retreat from the hustle and bustle. Relax in a hot tub under the stars, sit beside a kiva fireplace, watch the sunset behind the magnificent mountains or gather at a table to enjoy organic, local cuisine. Leslie and Mitch clearly love what they do and they do it well. Don't miss an opportunity to enjoy this incredible experience.

I last stayed at The Lotus, in Madrid, New Mexico in 2014. It was charming, quirky, rustic and a…read moregreat getaway. The time was even better. Proprietor, Lonnie McGuinn brings her New York/Chicago attention to details and sophistication to blend with the rustic charm of Madrid, a hidden gem of a historic mining town located just 30 minutes southwest of Santa Fe. The Lotus is hidden in the hills above the town of Madrid which means it is a bumpy ride with winding dirt/ashphalt roads that can take their toll if you don't have 4 wheel drive. Lonnie does caution first time guests to arrive before dark as the road signs are not that clear. I booked the Standard Room but was upgraded to the Suite (due to a cancellation)-thank you, dear Lonnie! The Lotus is a mecca for the display of the talents of the local artists: sculpture, ceramics, oil paintings, jewelry are omnipresent in this zen paradise hidden in the upper hills of Madrid overlooking the town. The views from my private balcony in the early morning and at sunset were wonderful. Lonnie is truly a master at the art of hospitality. She offers a (complimentary) breakfast of several equally tempting, tasty and organically sourced selections (food allergies or preferences are catered to)--cooked to your specification and served at your selected time. This is about YOU, being catered to, pampered and Lonnie's speciality is "making the world go away." I don't have any problem with being spoiled and treated like a VIP and it's fortunate because Lonnie's personal attentions exceeded my expectations. Complimentary skin and hair products (organic and locally sourced) are offered and a wonderful selection of beautycare items are available for testing. The patchouli shea butter, created by Madrid's Jada White, is a delectable indulgent for hair and body and I loved the botanical lotions and potions of Albuquerque's Star Light skin care products. The Lotus Suite features a clawfoot tub (my favorite way to relax) and a (heavenly) outdoor shower. The Lotus is pet friendly or more accurately, pet indulgent. Lonnie's personal entourage includes 2 well behaved canines and 2 extroverted felines. The magic of The Lotus must be palpable, since my pug (not ordinarily a cat lover) had no issues with the resident felines. Peaceful, private, environmentally and spiritually aware, this is truly a sanctuary.

Started calling to try to make a camping reservation at 10:30am. Called a total of six times and…read morenobody picked up. After cycling over 35 miles, we tacked on another mile or so down the dirt road to the lotus to finally speak to someone. Of course they were booked full. Looking at my fully loaded (we're touring across the U.S.) bike they offered a flat piece of property to pitch our tent but it was up a super steep trail (impassable for our kind of bikes) and we would still be charged the normal camping rate. I appreciate the offer but try picking up your phone so people can make necessary arrangements. We passed two other campgrounds we could have stayed at.
